The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1888-08-03

J. Kinney, the Democratic nominee for
sheriff TO vindicate himself from the
aspeIsioas, charges and imputations OF
one Michael Mcbride, published some
Cme ago by the JohDstown Tribune.
The FiRdicdtor published at Gallitzin,
Mr. Kinney's home, and also tie
FREEMAN, had already pronounced the
charges false, but il seems that with the
kind Of friends of Mr.. Kinney, that the
editor of the NetCS fell in with on his
visit to Ebensburg, on Monday of last
week, it requires something stronger TO
vindicate a Democratic candidate from
| the charges and imputations of a man
OF Mr.. McBride's standing, especially
when vouched for by the Johnstown
| Tribune.
The Ne,cs says that the Democrats
''of that section" demand public ex-
preston of Mr.. Kinney's guilt or inno-
| cense.' The fact thaG the leading
Democrats "of that section" say that
they heard no talk about the matter un-
til the article published in the NeloS was
printed. coupled with the fact that part
of the article was delivered eXtempor-
aneously on the steps of grocery store
in Ebensburg before its appearance in
:he N9CS, by one of the aforesaid
friends of Mr.. Kinney,
when whisky, not love- had got into his head, -
I and the further fact that the Democrats
''of that section'' have been accustom-
/ &c TO seeing ISLANDERS of their own men.
! appear year after year In the Tribune,
/ lead us to doubt the urgency of the de-
mand from the Democrats "of that
| section"
The people ''of that section'' know
the TriJ,uls too well-they have seen
il assail john Buck, James J. Thomas,
ID. y. Luther and Joseph y. Gray
each in his turn mas been the target foE
the TriJlme's maleyolent ISLANDERS.
/ which never ceased while they were
Z candidates, or until they stepped out of
| official position. Their yindicatiOn was
at the polls, by the voters of Cambria
/ county and John J. Kinney's vindica-
/ tion will come in November.
/ Fortunately for Mr.. Kinney and the
people ''of that section,r' Michael Nc
/ Bride paid Carrolltown a visit last win
ter and his stay, though short, was long
enough to enable the people 'of that sec.
ton" 70 discover him TO be an impudent
fraud or the first water, and as such the
. a
him aud the Johnstown Tribune gave
the article currency by republishing and
endorsing il.
The Democracy OF Cambria county
by their verdict a. the primaries hav,
placed their faith in John J.. Kinney:
character and il will require something
more reliable than the insinustions OF
Michael Mcbride or the Johnstow1
Tribune to shake it.
The Ns'rS says 1.-The Democratic coun
/ ty press from the depth of its humilia-
tion demands an explanation. - The
Ns,rS ls not the entire Democratic couu
ty press and can only speak for itself
il Michael Mcbride aud the TrjJlm,
have worried the Ne,rS into despair auC
humiliation. il must be source Of rrati
ication 70 Michael Mcbride that he ha
got even with the Nctrs for its gsper
siOns on his character last winter. I
the Nsrs did him injustice then, il j
has since discovered that the rsnting
OF Michael Mcbride are more worthy @
consideration than the unimpsachab!
character OF John J. Kinney, il shoul
in the depths Of It's humiliation do IN
fair thing by apolog.zing to MichaC
Mcbride.
As far as the FREEMAN represents tn
Democratic county press, and unlike n
NDcS il only speaks for Itself, il re
, seE;s the impuJation OF humiliation a
anything that Michael Mcbride or IN
Johustown Tribune can do or say, an
hurls back the destinations that John !
Kinney was connected ia any manner 1
form with bargain or sale with Nc
Bride, as hes, IN their teeth. II the
have any letter or writing ot Mr. Kir
ney's, we challenge them 70 produce Il
II Mcbride will make an affidavit COZ
tToverting any fact in Mr.. Kinney
statement published to-day, Jet him q
It. y prosecution for perjury % eiths
! Mcbride or Kinney. will lay ths matte
/, bare before the voters OF Cambrii cour
? " n September Court, AID Mr.. Kinue
. by his statement gives them thier oppo
. tuuity. we call on Mcbride and n
Tribune 20 yIndicate themselves. The
