tor 'Crawfishes' 4" "He always tell
the truth, don't he!" So-that is what
Capt. Braucher meant, is II, when h
said he would treat us like gentle
man! That is what he meant wher
he pledged his word that he would
make use of our letter only to clea
himself and not to reflect on us! An,
man is liable to be misinformed anC
through that transformation to do an
other unintentional injustice. Wher
shown his error the only manly anC
honorable thing to do is to acknowl
edge it and repair the injury ifhe can
Capt. Braucher's idea is that the mar
who does this manly and honorable
thing, should be pictured as 'craw
fishing" and branded as a wilful liar
Is not that a noble and high-minded
idea? We made mistake when we
attributed to Mr.. Braucher words
which he did not utter. But we evil
IDENTIFY made a much greater mistake
when we attributed to him the quail
ties of a gentleman and a man o.
honor.
We sincerely trust that no Republi.
can will permit himself to vote fol
any but Republican candidates this
fall. If Populists are elected it will
be by Republican votes. If Republi.
cans all vote for all the Republican
candidates we will make a clean
sweep. The effort to get Republican
voters to scratch the Republican can
didate for sheriff-against whom the
opposition are concentrating all their
not to be encouraged,
and no Republican should consider
for moment any proposition that
does not contemplate the voting of the
straight ticket.
1t remained for that great wag, our
distinguished friend, Col. J. b. Cos
horn, chairman ETC., to furnish the hu
NOR of the campaign in Allen county.
We refer to his address to the Demo-
cratic voters, wherein he sets forth
that the aforesaid Democrats have
been "disfranchised" by the refusal
Of the proper authorities to print their
ticket t,Uice on the official ballot
the address was read it
was greeted with roars of laughter.
The humor was found in every part
Of the address. For example, it states
hat the board suppressed not only
he Democratic but also the Peoples
county and township nominations,
5hus forcing the conclusion that only
he Republican and Prohibition tick
ITS were to be allowed on the official
ballot. Who could resist smiling at
10 frantic and fantastic a perversion
If facts? And again, after declaring
n the beginning that every Democrat
lad been DISTINGUISHED and would not
De permitted to vote the ticket of his
hOice, it closes by commanding, $50
o the polls on election day, y
md Uote for your candidates" Could
! more amusing inconsistency, more
aughable contradiction be possibly
imagined? And so it goes all the way
its facts SO comically distort-
d, its conclusions so Enthusiastically il
Ogical, it's rhetoric SO grOtesquely
its English SO absurdly
that the effort as whole
an only be classed as a masterpiece
f hulnor. The Colonel has missed |

So far as any part that the REGIS
Err can take in it is concerned, the
of 1893 is closed. The last
lea we wish to leave with our read
s is the one we have endeavored to
nphasize from the beginning, and
lat is that the only issue worth con-
dering in this campaign is THE sU.
sFMACY OF THE LAW. All social
der, all domestic happiness, all
lsiness prosperity, everything that
good in this Republic, rests upon
e principle of obedience to the law.
