Now why did the Journal suppress
those very important parts ofthe letter,
| If not for purposes OF decei2 1t can
not give any other reason than that it
/ deliberately intended to mislead the
people. Such journalism is beneath
contempt, but Democratic journals
constantly resort to it. There Is not an
argument made by the Democracy that
does not contain the element of deceit
or prejudice, and usually both.

THE Kalamazoo Gazette SAYS that J..
l NJ. Weston was the ablest man that ever
occupied the Craftsmanship of the State
/ Central Committee Of the Democratic
party. HE spent more time and
money by twice over than any chair
man that ever preceded him." and
those who find fault "have but little
appreciation Of the time and money il
costs 10 run a campaign in Michigan j"
Again 1t says: During the four years
that Mr.. Weston was chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee
1t cost him personally thousands upon
thousands of dollars. besides. months
Of valuable time" Gracious hevingsl

He has been doing his best to make the
people believe that 1t is only the Re-
publicans who spend money on cleo
tions, and so corrupt the virtuous Dem
Ocrats that they cannot tell what kind
Of ticket they are voting. Both
vans do not look we'll together. The
Democrats should choke of either the
Gazette or the Little Giant.
HERE is the kind of rant and rubbish
that the Lansing Journal doles out
daily to It's patient Democratic victims:
Reed is protectionist; Turner is a
free trader Tor at least was q few
months ago. Reed insists that the tar
