Do not allow any personal grievance

ticket at the polls next Tuesday.
A Democrat who considers his person
preferences of greater importance than Il
success of the ticket is too selfish to be
Democrat.

Independent for saying such nice thin:
about their candidates. They patted Il
Doctor on the back and pronounced

Germans, the same papers denounce hi
in print, but praise him in private and e
courage him "to do so some more"

EDITOR OF THE HERALD: | am repu
lican ito the manor born" and take gre,
comfort in republican doings and saying
as rule; but when | read such twaddle
a republican paper as | did In the JOLT
Press of the 9th inst: "WOrkingmen ca
choose between Judge Cody, who stand
for free trade, hard times, closed mills an
the poor house, or Colonel Plumb" etc,
am more disguised than comforted by 1t.
have known Judge Cody's daily life fe
more than thirty years, and | can plainl
assert that such statements are absurd an
are the product of an irresponsible and
rational person There is not an action
expression OF his whole life that warrant
any one in making such false and NAL
cious statements. On the contrary, he Is
war democrat" and will do his best
sustain the good results of our late wa
and will do all he can to mitigate the evil
and errors of that war. l should like
see the Press live up to the good republ
can usage of treating every man fairly an
considerably. J. E. HUNT.
