What will they do? 1t is easier to
tell what they should do. The first
thing they should do is to kick out
every old political demagogue and
trickster who having failed to get
office in either Of the old parties hope
by getting in the swim and yelling re.
form with the new movement, to be
carried into office on the flood-tlde
Why didn't you think of that two years
ago? you had done so would there
have been any one left? PROXY.
Two WEEKS ago the WATcHMAr
asked the Okobojo Times to give the
names of the "gaug" he so frequently
refers TO as being responsible for th'
soldier vote in Grandvicw township
which is acknowledged by it to b'
illegal; also to give an account of th'
proceedings of a star chamber meeting
held IN the Times office short tim
prior to theelection, which it fails to do
1t gives the names Of number o
gentlemen who were in that office OF
the evening referred to Gas near as Cal
be ascertained from the files of tn
Times" That's very cute. Does an.
one suppose Steve would then publish
the names of the star chamber outfit
No doubt the Republicans he names
did call at that Office on that evening
and that during their presence NJ
"deals' were put up; buthe utterly fail
to deny the truthfulness of our asser
tion Just the same. He then says:
"The names of the gang are demanded
If the editor of the WATcHMAN will Civ
the names of the others present at tn
star chamber session held at Onida jus
one week prior to the date he mentions
and which was followed by the commence
ment of the Fort Sully campaign by Mr.
Faust the next day. he will give the name
of all of them to the public himself
There might have been a meetin!
of Republicans IN Onida at that tim
to consider campaign matters, but a
no such meeting was the question O
the Fort SulIy vote ever discussed, an
neither Mr.. Faust or any other perso
was ever instructed by the county com
mittee to secure such a vote for tn
Republican party or any Of its candle
ates, the Times to the contrary, not
withstandlng. According to the abov
Steve designates campaign committe
of any political party as "gang" bu
he doesn't seem to have the honor
give the public the names OF the men
bers Of this prrticular "gang." II th
public Is being plundered and robbie
by "gang' and the Times knows
it IS its duty to give the benefit OF i
knowledge, and the names of til
perpetrators. We know Of no sue
''gang." The Times also intimates tn:
the Republicans use every means
prevent the settlement which is bein
pushed by every means in the powe
of the independents That is falls
The Independents are not using an
means to have the question CT illeg'
votes settled. On the. other hand the
are lodging that question.
