meval forest from these old hills and
more time spent in making what is clear
ed productive would be the better way.

The Union. speaking as it probably
does for Boss Wells and the other repub
lican campaign manipulators in Rock ISL
and county, slludes to the challenge of
Chairman Vintop. of the democratic
county committee, for dsbste of the
tariff question by Messrs. McEnlry and
O'Mara as cheeky" and it saws:
Of course we do not know what the
answer will be. as the challenge by its
language can only be accepted or jected
by the republican committee, but it
strikes the Union as last desperate re
sort to get audiences for democratic
stumpers. The republican speakers are
heartily welcomed and given big meets
ings wherever they go, and the demo
| Gratis would not only ike to catch on to
the crowds which they draw. but use up
half the time disputing the facts and ar
| guments advanced in the other half Let
the democrats work up their own meet
ings; they will then occupy their own
| time.
OF course the Union does know-but
|
| if by any possible means it speaks the
truth, when it says 1t don't knOw-the
ARGUS does know, that the challenge of
Chairman Vinton will never be accepted
and we will give Boss Wells the credit OF
being instrumental in preventing the &C
ceptance of such a challenge. He does
not. let it be said to his good judgement
propose to make any more embarrassment
for Pat O'Mars than he can possibly help
AS to the Unions excuse about q
scheme to attract audiences. we believe
the slang phrase Rats could be NJ
more fifty applied. The challenge mus
be either accepted or rejected. Which
shall it be Mr.. Wells?
