Why this Silence?

Until within the past three months
nearly every issue OF the DEBORAH
Republican since the inauguration Of
Mr.. Cleveland referred to some OF
his appointees as Jail birds or 9TH
er like offensive aIlusion. All this
seems to have ceased. Perhaps the
Republican has heard some damag-
ing story about the late republican
post master at DEBORAH that has ST.
fenced his battery. Ii so, out with it.
Ii the post master there was only
making partial return OF the box
rent for the past fifteen or twenty
years to the government, will il
kindly diyulge the facts and publish
them? If the late Offensive parts
an" OF that Office only took SOL Of
government funds, rctaiLing it fol
one year after out Of office, the Re-
publican should procure an affidavit
from the late Z. NJ. to that effect and
publish it. Come, now, please step
on the gridiron for a roasting.
