A Democratic Adjunct.

Since the issue OF the Nkws.H HERALD OF
April Sd, .denouncing the disgraceful
methods adopted and shamefully carried
into effect at the Republican Corpora
ton Primary on Monday of last week,
the NH. has been flattered with the
above heading, that OF being Demo.
cratic aid. This fine distinction was
conferred in words from staunch (?) Re-
publicans, who by their votes, aided the
Democrats last fall in defeating the Re-
publican county ticket in the face of all
that was said by the NH, urging each
member of the party to stand closly in
line. Now forsooth because the NH.
urges purity and denounces corruption
within its own party, the effective argu-
ment offered in defense of corruption
and against honest methods by the
younger blood OF the party, is that the N
H. is aiding the Democracy. A word to
these same knowledgy chaps may not be
amiss. Let it be remembered that the
NH. has been firm and true Republi.
can paper longer than these youthful
wiseacres have had any foot-hold on
this terrestrial sphere.
Let it also be remembered that in
these later years, when the tried and
trusted servent, the NH, has hal
mind OF its own, and that mind at war;
lance with the bloods, it has been threat.
ened with court-martial and supersedure
by the establishment OF neV paper that

new paper idea has become little
chestnutty, but some wise people deal
largely in chestnuts. No argument is
offered in defense of the course OF the
NH. for the past years. 1t is well
known that it has been true to the party
and has stood by the ticket while not in
dorsing all that has been done by the
management OF local political affairs in
this county. There is feature, how
ever, OF the new paper chestnut that
ought not to go unnoticed, and that is
that when the wishes of certain leaders
are disregarded or their actions CRITICS.
ed, then in defense of their burning pa.
triotism they feel that they will be COM
PEELED to start new paper. The NH.
occupies the territory by right of in
heritance. 1t has already bought one
paper because two papers were found to
be destructive to the best interests of
the Republican party. 1t has been con-
ceded by some Of these present squeal-
ers that the paper has been doing some
grand and effective work in the interest
of the party. But the paper must first
consult the wisdom OF some managers,
shut it's mouth, figuratively speaking, if
it cannot say something good about
them, or by the "holy poker and jump
ing tongs" new paper will be started.
Now just word to the new paper men.
We are here to stay and furnish news
and reading matter for the people of this
and other counties. We will make it
quite interesting to any bantling that
may be baptized new Republican in
this borough. And further, while the
ground work is being laid for the new
paper, we may furnish some interesting
"reminiscences OF the party loyalty and
political purity of some of these new
paper patriots. We are in position to
furnish Just such reading: matter and it
will read like any orange colored dime
book. There is no desire in this to be
unfair to any one. In another article
will be found the position taken and
which will be adheared to by the NH.
