tursl masses, should be left at home
and left there forever.
Mr.. Mathews' Rsjoinder.
Editor Register:
No doubt you are ready to say
Salts Verborum, but we again ask to
reply i'm behalf of our order.
They came ut me like the Indian
said the white man came at him,
"when they threw the donkey, gun
and all over the precipics at him, "
only they came two at time at me,
and If 1t was not that they exaggerate
so wilfully, 1 would consider the
source and say no more.
"Osager" to mix the q. A. r., F.. NJ.
B. A., Union Labor and Democracy in
one mess and try to make people be-
lieve that all was united in one COM
mon cause to accomplish Demo-ism,
certainly makes but a very feeble
showing i'm that direction with all his
equivocations.
know nothing about the Kincaid
racket he speaks Of, and therefore have
nothing to say for or against it. But
one thing I do know that "Osager" is
one of the most blind political cranks
In Allen county. He says "our party
is wanting the reins of the Govern.
ment i'm order to sink 1t, etc." The
Peoples party only want to have a
pure Government and extricate 1t from
under the hand of Shylock before it's
too late. "Osager" does not believe
one word he said about the sinking
part, he only wishes to cripple the
new party by his nefarious scheme OF
trying to create dissensiOn by mixing
all points together and make 1t appear
that our party had it all its own way,
but that is too thin "Osager."
He said "the half was not told.''
We agree with him there, for both Of
the old parties got the most complete
set back there that day they ever re-
ceived In Allen county, and "Osager'
had not the grit to tell 1t. That is al
they dare not tell and all they are
ASHAMED of.
He puts Democrat at me and says
want to smooth matters over. I
stated facts in my first reply as they
were and appeared to the one thou
sand people there as to the correctness
Of the same.
He said "that Mr.. Brinkly had been
a Democrat and 80 stated ON the
stand" He said nothing of the kind,
but said che had ever voted the Re.
publican ticket, but was ashamed to
say so, as matters were In such bad
shape" or words to that effect.
He thinks Mr.. Stewart was invited
through mistake, In one sense he was,
but he was invited by a Republican
committee, as 8 out of the four com.
mittee were Republicans. And was
not one of the committeeman as you
try to make it appear.
But We make no distinction here as
to former political faith, as we rise
above all craftsmanship and will vote
for what We think is best.
He said replied TO Mr.. s. If did
it was only In speech on receiving'a
banner presented by the ladies, which
did not last over five minutes, and 1t
Is true said some things that did not
agree with what Mr.. s., said, but I
did not make a reply to MIS- speech.
Now "Osager" gets all broke up and
compares Mr.. S., This pet speaker) to
Christ before Plate in ali his purity
II Mr.. b. was the Christ, POLITICALLY
speaking), shall we take You for one
of the malefactors CT ucified with him.
II you were, you must have been the
one that rallied on him, for 1t appears
that your christ failed to take you to
his paradise the same day, but has
left you in political perdition.
Enough of "Osag en-" for here comes
another who wasThere''and approves
all "OneWho was There" said and says
''he did not tell half the truth" He
is lamsnting because the Democrats
and Laborites are running the order.
They are not running 1t and are not
wanting TO run it, for they are as
scarce In this neck Of the woods as
such men as himself.
That is not what Is fretting Another
who was There" 1t is because he cant
run it TO suit his own pet party. Here
he gives it all away, as stated above,
he said che was sorry he was there,
but bad to believe all that he heard
and saw" What he heard was that
the G.. o. p, had gone to the wall, or
going as fast as the wheels of time
could take it. What he saw was that the
Peoples party was strong and grow
ing stronger, aud by the way they sat
