THE SIXTH o. K. FOR HULICK.
A Few Significant Remarks from Rep
resentative Newspapers.
The Georgetown Gazette says I:

The Georgetown Gazette says:
The Cincinnati Tribune published
articles Friday and Saturday of last
week, trying to substantiate the fact
that the nomination of Hon. George W.
Hulick was procured through bribery
of Hillsboro, is the originator of the
article, although the name of Wade, is
attached thereto. Hy is the fellow that
attempted to get up a contest in the
convention. The articles are along the
line that has been published in the Ne,cs
for several weeks, and calls upon the
Congressional Committee to set aside
the work of the late convention, call
another convention, and by its decree,
all true Republicans will stand. Mr..
Davis knows full we'll that those who
are now fighting Judge Hulick, would
not support him if such a convention
was held and he again received the
nomination.
While we don't propose to be an ap.
pologist for any one who procures his
nomination by fraud, yet we do not
think it is becoming Hy Davis to pose
as saint and talk about the money
used by his opponents, for he knows
full well that Bob Doap was the first
man on the ground in Hillsboro, and
was buying votes from the start. If the
Doan crowd was left, it was because
some other fellows went one better, and
captured the prize.
Mr.. Doan was also the first man in
Georgetown to organize his forces and
inaugurate the Doodle campaign. 1t is
claimed in justification of his acts that
the money his friends used was for
legitimate purposes. We arc not able
to say how the money was used by either
candidate, but as Dean has been manip.
ulating conventions for the past tW"nty
wears, and from the known ability of
some of his Iieutenants in this county
and Highland, we are of the opinion the
money struck the right spot in every
instance. We are not calling the kettle
black in justification of Mr.. Hulick's
methods, or his friends actions but it is
with poor grace for Bob" Doan to
repudiate the nomination on the grounds
of fraud and purchase of votes, for he
went the length OF his purse in that
direction, and little farther il reports
are true.
Hy Davis, Bob Doan q Co., who used
money in the attempt to control the
convention. should be the last ones to
repudiate the nomination. 1t should
come from men WHO spurn such meth.
ods, and have not the spicion OF vote.
briDing on their garments.
All true Republicans lament the pres,
ent position they are placed in, as it is
a time all Republicans should stand
shoulder to shoulder, that at least part
of the legislative department of the
Government might be wrested from the
present party in power.
We might add that there will not be
another convention held.

ing the Congressional Committee to
declare Hulick's nomination void and to
call another convention. Such work is
very bad policy on the part of these
dissatisfied members of the party. Mr..
Hulick was nominated at Lebanon after
OF politicians had been used to defeat
him, and there is nothing to do but SUBJ
NIT and 90 in and elect him triumph
antly. This kind of kicking against the
results OF ordinary politics by men who
