The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1894-10-30

| ben. HAL, OI the GaZette, started
out in wonderfully brash manner
with an attack upon the Democratic
administration of the county affairs
He was compelled to crawl down with,
'no one has said to our knowledge
that there is anything wrong in the
management of the affairs of the
county" Since then he has most
prudently kept mum. However,
Brother Johnnie (Wood) came to his
rescue the past week and attacks the
Advocate as "the creature and mouth
piece of the gang" Brother John
uie does not sign his name to his arti-
Gle, but all the same his ear marks are
plainly visible in every line of it.
Brother Johnnie charges that the
ADVOCATE is trying to induce the
''honest Democrats" of tie county to
vote the ticket straight Don't be
uneasy, Brother Johnnie, these same
'honest Democrats" need no induce
ment to vote their "ticket straight"
This same Gazette, that voices all that
is vile and mean in the Republican
party; this Gazette that pronounces
The infamous Force Bill ga wise and
patriotic measure" this Gazette that
claims allegiance 10 party that in
four years plundered an OVERLOOKING
national treasury of its surplus of
$l3S,000,000 and left to us the shame
full spectacle of only empty vaults;
this Gazette that blatantly upholds
and unblushingly apologies for laws,
the enactment Of which has filled our
country with trusts and covered our
roads with lramps; this is the organ
that says the ADVOCATE is the mouth
piece of the gang" The more Wig
orous the assaults upon rs from such
a source, the higher the ADVOCATE
will stand in the estimation of the
''honcst Democrats" of this section.
The Gazette calls all Democrats who
would vote with their party OIL any
issue or under any circumstances
.'so-called Democrats; their State
party organ calls these Democrats,
fool Democrats" The Gazette will
find next Tuesday night that there
are very few either "so-called Demo
crats" or STOOL Democrats" Qf it pre-
fers the phrase), in this county.
