For years the editor of THE REPUBLICAN has
TO rldicule any and all democrats
who have held public positions. According to
him, In his rank partlsanshIp, no democrat has
he right TO live either by the laws Of God or the
avs OF man. To continue to heap abuse upon
D. w. Matthias week after week shows The RE
weakness. but In no way dlsturbs
he confidence the people have In our democratic
supervisor, whit Is proving TO be conservative
,lcial and one of the best supervisors the county
las ever had. There In heap OF partisanship
n the brains that lie In the pedal extremities Of
THE REPUBLICAN editor and but little, II any
rood judgment. Advocate.
The hired men who have undertaken
she job of putting Mr.. Matthias into I'M
lying fame evidently have 1t In the
to suppress everybody who
loes not bow down in humble servitude
10 that lledgling and oflicious function
lry. These gentlemen aver inferentially
that he is saving the country at u rapid
rate. Will they not tell us how and
from whom he Is rescuing prosecuted
pc ople? Was the old board 80 rotten
that q change was necessary Are the
two old members, Messrs. Hunt and
so bad, and is Matthias in
lluence so great that he oyerpowers
their influence for corruption by virtue
Of his own goodness Is the soured
with which Mr.. Matthias
Is tInctured sufficient to leyen the dem.
Dcratic loaf?
The REPUBLICAN has never CRITICS
ed the private character of any demo
,rat. 1t has frequently referred to the
public records of these men, rs it has q
right to do. THE REPUBLICAN, is on
terms with all democrats and
appreciates the good fellowship. We
have never ABUSED" Mr.. Matthias, but
have referred occasionally to his public
record. IL the showing isn't satisfac-
Tory to his friends, 1t certainly is not
our fault.
And now, will Mr.. Matthias hired
nan of the Advocate dispense with the
gorgeous generalities of his poetic Wis
on and tell an anxious public just
what Mr.. Matthias has done to make
lim superior light in the democratic
party; what was so really bad to de
mand his reformatory influence, and
why he Is any better than Hunt and
Mathison. Certainly, If the hired man
would earn his salary, and IL his brain
has not degenerated to leaf lard, he
viii answer these simple questions
which are suggested to our bump of
by the quoted paragraph
above.
