EDITOR INDEX: In the article that appear
ed in the INDEX last week over the name of
Ebert Rule, he asks this question: Ibid not
Mr.. HentOn refuse to vote for an old soldier
brother in the church last fall all because he
| was republican," AS the above question is
fair sample of the whole letter wish to say
few words in reply.
LIST. In tho article to which he is replying it
is not denied that Mr.. Henton voted the alli-
ance ticket.
I'd. The old soldier brother referred to by
him was candidate in opposition to an old
| soldier who received Mr.. Hentou's vote for
| Trustee.
| Sd. Mr.. Henton voted for three old soldiers
who were candidates on the Peoples township
| ticket.
4th. Il feel perfectly safe in guessing that
| the old soldier brother referred to did not vote
for any soldier candidate for township Office
| last fall except for himself.
5th. 1 feel safe in guessing that Ebert did
not vote for more than one soldier candidate
at the last township election, and hence, he
shows by his own soldier argument that S. H
Henton has Of a right three-fold better claim
implies that man is in duty bound to vote for
| a member of the same church with the voter
or forfeit his right to be P. NJ.
am happy to tell him that this is a very err
roneous position or assumption for our new
P. NJ. to take. and can only be taken by cor
rupt men or bigots who would wish to hold out
the hope of Office as an inducement to worldly
minded men to become church members. i
find that he fails entirely to show any good
reason why the postoffice should be taken from
S. H. Henton, who is an honest upright man,
sixty years of age, with wife and two chill
dren dependent upon him and given to a young
man who is stout and has no one dependent
upon him.
No church or party which countenances such
unrighteousness can prosper In a community
not totally ignoring the doctrine of Christ.
