means q man succeeded Din the only
struggle that ensusd) in securing a nom

honor or Z disgrace 10 the county at the
option OF the candidate-and it heh0oyes
every voter to place tho heel OF manhood
Oh every dishonorahla being The Re-

Gir:-ln view of the fact that much work will
beexpected from county papers this fall, our
Press association has decided on an assessment
from all nominees. Wohayep placed your assess
ment at $500 for the full list of Rerublicanps-
pere, which will include your name being car
ricd upon the ticket. You will be entitled to the
HEARTY SUPPORT OF ALL THE PAPERS
upon mailing US or handing US in person tho
sum mcntlened. Those who answer our call
will be supp0rted-others will not. Pronptness
will e~a:n;you t,me. Address oil communication
to w. L. TuoRNplKE, Sec.
Either Mr.. Thorndyke must admit that
Mr.. Brenne Is justly entitled to the
"hearty support Of all. the papers" or
else that he was willing to sell himself
AMI his newspaperto a man of no "honor"
or Judgment" and whose election would
bring disgrace" to the county, for the
insignificant sum Of twenty-five dollars
(his share Of the 800 assessment.9
The GRAPHIC is not supporting Mr..
Brenne for the Office lie seeks-it is out
Of politicsHand there is, beside, as wide
a cllasm between Mr.. Brenne's and the
GRAPHIc's notions OF the political issues
OF the day rs there very we'll could be-
hut the GRAPHIC would be false to itseli
to sit idly by and see n Of KimbalI's
foremost business men maligned, FOL
what?-a little personal antagonist
with which the public and politics has
nothing to do. If Mr.. Thorndyke car
give any valid reasons why Mr.. Brenn'
is unworthy Of Republican support tina
will not apply to other candidates whom
the Index has repeatedly supported lie
him give them. Mr.. Brenne isrecognize,
by his fellow men as a stalwart OF the Re
publican stalwarts. He has been closcl,
identified with the growth Of the Repub
lican party in this county since its fol
nation, and few men in this county ar
his equals in general knowledge Of me!
and affairs. He has repeatedly hel
offices of trust in this municipality an
no man has contributed more literally c
his his time and means to the advance
ment of the interests Of his county, hi
city and his party. If he is defeated til
GRAPHIC wants to see it done by straigt
out Democratic or Independent votes; |
q fair and honorable manner, and III
through any dirty piece of business
which the Index affords a characteristic
exhibiticn-and we can say the same
any other candidate.
Tin justice to Mr. Bronno and by way Of expl
nation to the "Repubiican Press Association"
the coxnty, the GRArHIo desires to add that Il
associations rs letter of assessment to MIR. BrenE
marked private was furnished to the GRApH
only upon urgent solicitation and because q
circumstances over which the recipient had
control seemed to warrantit. The GRAPHIC "
sufficiently familiar with it to give the su
stance oft, and it wins infinitely better that
appear verbatim. Mr.. Bronne's objections to
