less villifcation of the republican can

Wave.
The Wave man has the same right
to support Mr. Taylor that others had
oppose him, but he has no right to lie
about those who opposed him as he
does in the aboye extract Not one
word was said about Mr.. Taylor in the
late contest that was not absolutely
true, as Mr.. Kimball, of the Wave,
well knows and has freely admitted
to us and many others, and he has re-
peatedly told us that Mr.. Taylor did
not get his nomination by honorable
means and that he did not consider
him fit man to represent this dis
trict, but that he would support him
simply because of the Senatorial ques
ton and he did not wish to take any
chances of letting Mr.. Warden into
the legislature. We could respect
Mr.. Kimball in the stand he took dur
ing the campaign, even though he
held up Mr.. Strong in a false light
but now that he comes out after elect
ion and assaiIs the majority of the re-
publicans of this county, because they
voted as they pleased, as he does here,
ne shows himself to be az much of
knave as the man he served. Mr..
Kimball's reasons for not boiling Mr..
Taylor seems to be really but two fold
First, his heart being inclined to evil
he did not have the moral courage to
come out and support what he freely
admitted was the right side of the
issue. In the second place it was a
question of doodle" for if he bolted
he knew he could not send in to the
campaign committees big bills for i'm
aginary services rendered, nor private
ly bleed the candidates, hence coward
ice and averice got the better of him
as usual, and he done what his ICON
science" told him not to do. The
campaign was openly and honorably
conducted, Mr.. Waye, and if you had
even spark Of the true gentleman in
your make up, you would never haye
published the falsehood quoted above.
Up to the time of the election
last week, Burnett county was suppos-
ed to have but one prohibitionist with
in her borders. Imagine the surprise
of the people when the vote was count
ed last week and it was found that the
Prohibitionists had cast 103 ballots.
Speaking of the matter the Grants
burg Sentinel says: SIT means that
the vote of the county will not be as
nearly solid republican as heretofore,
aud that we may lose the proud dis
tinction of being the Republican BAN
ner county of the State. But it may
be that our erring brethren, the Pro-
hibitionists, will return again to the
fold at no distant day when they learn
that they can do but little to advance
the cause of temperance, and are but
Injuring their friend, the Republican
party" Brother Talboys you can't
get that vote back into the republican
ranks while you put up and try to
force upon the people such beer guz-
zling stockings as c. S. Taylor to re-
present them in our legislature. Had
Burnett county done her duty at the
polls last week the district might have
saved the disgrace of being represent
ed by such a man, and the hayward
brethren been reclaimed. The re-
publican party must purge itself Of
such leaders as Mr., Taylor or soon 90
to pieces.
Mr.. Speaker Carlisle does not
