~e-NAA---s
When man enters into politics he
must expect that MS shortcoming and
longgoings viii be taken from the
mouldy pages Of past history and ex-
posed to the searching light Of present
criticism.
These things are part of politics,
aud are generally taken in as graceful
a manner as they are given. But not 50
with the Republican candidate for ire
asurer. He evidently believes himself to
be much better than the native-born
politician, and not subject to that
searching inspection that always fol-
lows a nomination for Office.
Mr.. Jones entered The REPUBLIC of
flee Friday evening, every nerve quiv-
ering with unsurpassed anger, and ac-
cused the editor of many things that
was unfair, and to all of which a plea
Of not guilty was entered.
His first grievance was to the effect
that The REPUBLIC had been making
capital of the fact that he was an in
fdel and an disbeliever in christianity,
aud asserted that it. had been published.
This was false, for never a line was
ever published in The REPUBLIC at
lacking any mans religion. Religious
liberty and freedom of thought is one
of the inherent rights of American
citizenship, and it never has been OF
will be truthfully said that this paper,
under the present management, ever
made political capital out of a PERSONS
religious belief.
He also turned the batteries Of his
wrath upon the statementma in The
REPUBLIC that he had discharged Pop
uIist employe last fall for political rea-
sons.
Mr.. Jones now denies this, although
it was generally understood that he
had done so, and the person in ques-
ton so informed many people at the
time of his discharge. In fact, it was
boosted on the streets last fall by Re-
publicans that Jones baker was one
vote the Populist would never count"
Mr.. Jones was not running for Office
last fall and a contradiction was not
then thought necessary.
As these things we're explained to Mr..
Jones, his wrath increased perceptibly,
and in explaining bis action in the
matter he practically admitted the
charge to be correct.
In any event the matter would have
been dropped had not Mr.. Jones and
some of his supporters seen fit to utter
threats against, and brand the The
REPUBLIC liar for publishing a state
ment that for over a year has been &C
cepted as a fact and had never met
denial.
Although the charge may be denied,
plausible explanations invented, and
The REPUBLIC called liar, the facts in
The case are public property and sub
stantiate the prevailing impression
that Mr.. Jones did discharge Mr..
Barnes because of his Populism and
sympathy with the A. R. U. strikers.
