"BLAoKeUARDIsM" AND FORGERY.

-
If it is political blackguardism" to call
attention to the fact that Samuel N Gold,
Democratic candidate for trustee in this town
ship holds the same relation to the Coy gang
that Ernest Kitz did to the Liquor League,
and that the election of Gold would be as dis
tinctly triumph of the worst elements In
local politics as was that of Kitz, the Journal
pleads guilty to the charge. 1t freely assumes
all the responsibility that attaches to that
kind of political blackguardism. 1t was
abused for telling the truth about Kitz, as it
has been for telling the truth about Coy and
others of the gang. It rather enjoys that
kind of abuse. It is all very well to represent
Mr.. Gold as reputable business man, a Dem
ocrat in good standing the regular nominee
of Democratic convention for trustee, etc.
He may be all of those things, and yet the
fact remains that as ward-worker he
has been hand-in-glove with the Coy
gang and has stood by and with
them all through the tally-sheet business.
Men are judged by the company they keep.
Mr.. Gold may be an excellent citizen, but we
don't like the crowd he trains with. The rec
ord shows that as a member of the canvass
ing board he was a thick-and-thin supporter
of the Coy-Bernhamer conspiracy for count
ing the forged returns, and when Bernhamer
was making some of the rulings that have
landed him in the penitentiary, Gold ex-
claimed, GIVE it to them. They gave it to
us; now let them take their own medicine"
Now that the peple have made so good astart
at smashing the Coy gang, it would be poor
policy to elect one of his creatures township
trustee Better keep there Captain Many,
who has been tried and proved eminently fit
for the place.

Senator Sherman is right. What is now
