That was before the independent conn.

sound little queer! And then again:

CORRUPTION REGARDLESS OF PATTY
LINES Is Interesting, the scenes to fellow
Will simply be intense. The editor of the |
Gazette knows no party lines 80 far as
corruption IN oliice is concerned. We
are Inundated to state right here that the
AGENCIES OF INDEPENDENT OFFICE
HOLDERS have made it possible for repub- !
Iican hyenias to get in their hellish work
OF persecution and crime. SUCH as have
aided in this unnoly scheme TO Intimidate
and coerce into su mission to their fiend-
ish plots, shall NOT ESCAPE THE STIGMA
DUE THEM.
Howe that! Well. it looks as if the
neighbor is some pumpkins on abuse |
himself. There are some funny things |
in history. Here's another touch OF high
life:
Gazette, July Is, 1892 There is
no more fruitful cause Of the death
OF parties chan that OF corruption
In Office. And there is no more fruitful
eau of corruption in Office than the sys-
TEN of second term in Office"
When we say that the Independent oiI!-
eiais have given splendid administrations,
we mean that those Officers
have only done their duty,
aud for which the party is not in any
sense Obligated. Iney have only paid an
honest debt. Tbey have fed ut the pub
lie table, aud ii they are not GLUCToNs
they have been filled aad should now step
aside and give their places to worthy
competent brothers.
Now there is where we can ''get to-
gether" neighbor. Let us have change.
Sail on, aud on:
Gazette, June 3, 1s92.--The Gazette
contends for an absolute one term theory
whether tbs be in the possession OF an
olice or any other connection pertaining
to the cause OF reform or 9th. Human
nature is the same the world over, to
which pnncipi3 independents are no ex-
cepton, men are anxious to perpetuate
favorable conditions for themselves, and
will UNDULY CoNSPIRE TOGETHER for |
such purpose, when too long in position
so TO do. and the only way 10 bleak up
such conspiracy is to BREAK UP SUCH
CONDITIONS PUT OTHER PARTIES IN
aud thus prevent Il few men to run cor
Iupt machine politics.
Dew tell! III we keep on the Gazette

don't insult Fred Morrill, by saying he

And here is little duff tor 4. ID. and
noble cbamuion of the cause" as the
last Gazette saws:
Gazette, Nav 9, 1892 Where is the

we don't care what yoar politics-is
it not absurd for the Gazette to talk |
about abuse--or to even rose as support

The PREss is now as always. clean,
