The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1888-06-29

SEVERAL weeks ago the JOhnstown
Tribune pretended to describe meeting
OF the friends OF John J. Kinney, the
Democratic nominee foI Sheriff, on his
return 10 his home after the returns OF
the Democratic primaries had been
counted. II was a feeble effort OF the
Tribune to array the Irish and German
Democrats against each other and in
last weeks Industrial VHdicd:Or, pub
lished AZ Mr.. Kinney's home, the story
OF the TTlhme is shown 10 have had not
i only no foundation but that It WAS de-
| Iiberately manufactured out Of the
whole cloth. The following is the re-
/ ply OF the T'iBdicIiOr. which also in
cludes the Tri5uRe's article
| Last week We stated we would reply
/ to The JOhnstown Ti-ibtWe'S statement
/ concerning the friends OF j. j. Kinney,
/ and the remarks tia: paper claims were
made concerning our German friends
and we viii, endeayoI to keep our worG.
/ We remember some years ago when a
/ certain German was out tor Office 10
| read in the Tribune the lines, mo
/ Irish Need Apply" which was certain
/ ly calculated to draw the Irish vote
| from The German candidate, IN the in
terest of the Republican party. And
now that the opposite IS the case he
would turn the German vote into the
Republican camp. While we do not
desire 20 enleT into contest with the
/ Tribune on this question, We Will mol
allow any journal, combination or or
ganlzation. 10 misrepresent the people
of this locality, without taking our pro-
Ler position TO defend them and we
therefore pronounce the following taken
from the Tribune of June 6, TO be an in
justice to the people OF this vicinity,
and entirely false.
THE "TRIBUNE's'' STATEMENT
Mr.. John. j. Kinney, the Demo-
cratic nominee Tor Sheriff, upon his ar
rival home at GaliitZIn, after the votes
were counted at EbensOurg on Monday,
had vOciteI0us reception in which
bands of music and the wild shouts o.:
enthusiastic friends mingled 10 make
the occasion y loud one. This is
what the Irish can do when united -
shouted an enthusiastic Kinney man.
| Correct shouted another Ito he'll with
! the Dutch - Here here - shouted
aCOtheT and more discreet Kinney man ;
I'VE can't afford to denOunce the Dutch
in that fashion we'll need theiI votes
at the election" "D-n the Dutch, -
yelled bOisterOus individual We nom
/ mated Kinney, and BY Cd we can
| elect him." and thus the enthusiasm
ran, very little consideration being
manifested for the friends of Langbein,
/ until suIfeited bY the contemplation of
the grea. victory won by Kinney, his
( friends subslded and prudence called a
/ halt - the wild rejoicings."
That We might not DO an injustice TO
/ our contemporary, The Tribune, We put
| of reply to Ihe above. until We had an
| opportunity TO interview the many Ger
/ mans VITO were present on the evening
/ IN question, all Of whom pronounce the
/ IriJtWe'S statement false in every par
, ticular, We accompanied Mr.. Kinney
and his friends fIom Galli'zin 10 his
/ home on Tunnelhill, and at the request
/ Of many who were present, delivered
/ the address OF the evening, ana we no.
/ ticed the Germans were as enthusiastic
as any who were present, AID their good
sense and sound judgement, will pre-
/ vent the Tribune or any other journal
from making political capital, through
! false statements about their neIghbOrs.
We will discuss this matter no father,
but let the public judge by the follow
ing prominent and respected German
citizens Of this locality.
