Sarah A. Passmore, on trial Monday

committing fornication with Chas. j.
Clark, of Lowell, al the American House,
in this city, was found guilty and fined

The summary uncalled- for and tyran-
nical manner in which the WATERFOWL
Democrats were used at Jefferson appears
to haunt The Waterloo Democrat and The
Jefferson Banner 1t is another instance
of the suferings experienced by guilty
conscience. We are charged by The
Banner with Connecting g series of lies
when we claim that Watertown Demo-
Gratis were sat down. upon in the county
convention" If it was not a "sitting
down upon" what do you call it when
the claims OF such Democrats as G. F.
Zautner. James Gingles, John G. Con-
way and n B. Moran are thrown
aside and deemed unworthy of con-
sideration Not one of the four was
nominatedin appreciation of the 800 vetes
they represented, while Jefferson, casting
less votes, received three good fat places on
the ticket, thus totally ignoring Water
town and giving her severe snub wholly
undeserved And what was the matter with
nominating Frank Piper for sheriff? Was
he too closely identified with Watertown
and regarded as being off from the same
piece as the WATERFOWL candidates to be of
any use to the Jefferson dynasty? Why
Palmyra, the strongest Republican towniin
the county, should be brought to the front
and given the best Office, while Water
town, that gives the largest Democratic
majority in the county, is slapped in the
face and placed on a diet of husks, is be-
yond the comprehension of not few
Democrats in this city. The editor of The
Banner "would prescribe good dose of
truth to alternate our distress" over this
matter. The medicine it prescribes could
not be furnished by The Banner, and
Brother Roessler never should recommend
to another that which he has not tasted
