Suddenly there was a light. quick STEP

gas, took off his hat and ran his fingers
through his thick brown hair.

presently Middleton came back with the

What may be thought reprehensi-
BILE or disreputable in politics, by some
men, may be considered all right and
square dealing by others, and each
may be Conscientious in their judg-
ment. We cannot understand how it
can be thought just and square for re.
publicans to have democratic tickets
printed then scratch off the names OF
the democratic candidates and write in
those of republican candidates, and
peddle such tickets. Every man has
a right to peddle such tickets as be
pleases. of course, and to electioneel
for whom he pleases, but that whole
sale defacing of tickets that was done
by the republicans was not, in oul
opinion square politics or thing thai
one should be proud of. Others may
think it all right and honorable, bu
we do not. Others have the same
rights to their opinions that we have
and they alone are responsible fol
their acts.
