W. q. Rodgers for Congress.

For the JusIArA SExruEL AND REPuBLIcAx
b! 1 am a conrad. and I am exceed
ingly surprised that such talented
fellow conrad, as "a Walker town
ship Veteran" has proven himself to
he. should be roped iu to trot out
such bad Republican as conrad
Rodgers for Congress or any other
Office. | do not mean that conrad
Rodgers is morally bad, for 1 am not
writing about him morally or relig-
iously, but about him politically. He
has political grievance, or he be-
lleves he has a political grievance
against Atkinson: he is a sore head,
because he failed to get the post of
fee, and now he is ready to pull the
chestnuts out of the fire for some
other fellow, exactly as he wanted to
pull the chestnuts out of the fire for
the Democrats after Cleveland was
elected, if the Democrats would al
low him to hold the post office.
That is the reason, be is called a bad
Republican. For the post office, he
WAS willing to be a Cleveland con-
vert. He does not seem to have any
political convictions. From bis let
ter to the .New York World. it ap-
pears he may be converted as often
as the administration changes.
The Republican National Admin
istration was scarcely buried, when
Rodgers offered himself to the Cleve-
land victors as a convert Republi-
cans were mourning over their loss,
Rodgers was writing to the editor of
the .New York World as to how he
might get into the Democratic vic
torious camp with the post Office.
The Republican party does not
want candidate for Congress of
that kind. Neither do the Demo
Gratis To prove to you more fully |
what l mean, herewith enclose Mr.. !
Rodgers letter to the .Sep York
World with the reply of the editor of |
that paper, and when you have read !
them. you will know by what .'hocus
pocus means, "a Walker township
veteran had the wool SO pulled over |
his eyes, as to recommend Rodgers (
for Congress.
