Cur ale ana II duentiai contempo-

Il, II the Influence Of this Journal
and since the editor who makes
these charges has for some weeks
past openly proclaimed on the
street that "the APPEAL is a Demo-
cratic sheet we are disposed to
refute these wild statements by
an analy sis Of Tuesdays vote at
the primaries. Figures are vely
stubborn things and 10 logical
mind cannot fail to be Convincing.
i he APPEAL called attention to
the fact that the Traboi,p had at
oIe time openly advocated the
cause OF Mugwumpery i'll OrmsI y.
On reviewing the course ct II e

editor IS an Argument why he
sho.ld not +, ceive Republican sup
polt. We reserve the right to do
thie with any one who cliticises
our politics when his own political
record is not straight. That the
voters of the Republican party
endorsed our views is shown by
the result, for out OF GIL votes
Cast the editor OF our esteemed
contemporary only received go.
Now there is another way of
figuring this vote. The Tribune
insisted that the reminder to the
leople Of the editors political
bolt would natuIa ally assist his
candidacy, and his friends claimed
exultingly that it would help him
$50 votes. Assuming these figures
to be correct We unayoidably
reach the following result. 900
minus $50 equals 70 the total po-
litical strength of the Tribune
editor when the rank and file are
uninfiuenced Proceeding with this
interesting subject, we find the
1ribune's candidate for sheriff, Mr..
Ulliick. is beaten by Mr.. Botsford,
a new man from Empire, and this
In the teeth Of the fact that Mr..
Ullrick has made an excellent
sheriff and faithfully discharged
the duties OF his office.
Again there is the case Of Mr..
Kitzmeyer, an old tax payer and
a man Of excellent standing in
this community. His chances for
election were very good until the
Tribune began endorsing him very
strongly.
Then there is the case OF Mr..
Summeriield, a staunch Republic
can and one of the brightest law
yers in the State. His ability to
make a good District Attorney
WAS admitted by every one, and
he stood a good chance for cleo
ton until the Tribune began an
illadvised putting OF his qualifica-
tions. BY extolIing him above all
the other candidates they slowly
chopped him to peices day after
day. Only when the vote was
counted did the people realize how
terribly he had been mince meated
by the T,ibupe's baleful efforts to
elect him and they read the
figures. Edwards 429, Summer

This article would not be COM
plete without an allusion to the
candidacy of Mr.. J. p. Parkinson,
a very pleasant Young gentleman
connected with the Tribune office
He WAS named as one Of the dele
gates to the County Convention
and though he had no opposition
whatever he was scratched until
he had the lowest vote out OF the
% candidates.
We have thus devoted consider
