MARTINS FERRY.

| statement In Sundays REGISTER in re-
/ gard TO the injunction that has been dis
! solved by the Common Pleas Court.
/ They try to miSlead the public in say
/ ing that we tried to saddle the blame on
| Madison Aldredge, who is one Of the
/ electric light trustees, and also who is
now the candidate for County Auditor
on the Republican ticket We did not
| say that Mr.. Aldredge was to blame for
I the Injunction, but we did say, and
will say so yet, that some
| Of our people think that the Trustees
were at the bottom of the injunction,
and we will also add that as far as the
statement of the Times that the Board
of Trustees were ignorant OF the move
mentS in getting out the Injunction,
that almost every citizen in the city
knew that the injunction would be
served on Council several weeks before
10 was gotten out, and il was impossible
for the members Of this Board 10 be ig-
noraut OF this fact. Now, as TO the
Times statement saying that it was an
attempt TO saddle the blame on Mr.. AL
bridge, and it shows an indication OF the
straits TO which the friends of j. a. HeR-
dersOn are driven 10, we would add that
all the politics that has entered this
affair is only in the mind Of the editor
of the Times, who ought TO be very
careful how be tries to abuse Mr.. Hen
dersOn by commenting upon the time
Mr.. Henderson has filled Office, because
the public is we'll acquainted with the
long years that he was at the public
trough, and now the report is that his
brother is TO be deputy under Aldridge
il he is elected, and that is the reason
the Times is taking such an interest In
Mr.. Aldridge'S canvass.
