Judge Henderson.
Judge, H. P. Henderson was next in

Grafton lust delivered by Miss Thurman
was by far the best he had ever heard

capable of exercising the franchise in
telligently The speaker asked. the
ladies to enquire into the principles OF
the two contending parties and vote
their honest convictions. The speaker
said that no political party or organ
ization was without fault. Don't be
Democrat because you hate some Re
publicans. Accord to all Republicans
the right to their conviction. We have
some good personal friends who are
Republicans and we resent anything
said against them personally. Ridicule
and sarcasm is to be permitted only
when aimed at the principles of the
oposition. The party that organized
the government was the Democratic
party. The man that wrote the de-
claration of independence was. a Demo-
.crat The judge used comparisons and
told of the history of the two parties

A scurrilous article appears in the
Enquirer this evening, accusing Howe
& Taft, prominent wholesale grocers
of this city, of being partisan in the
arranging of an excursion to Saltair
next Thursday. The fact of the mat
ter is, Howe & Taft asked for bids on
the advertising of the excursion and
the Democratic job printers bid 81
lower than the Enquirer people and
got the work. Now the Enquirer at
tempts to get even by asking Repub-
licans to not patroniZe the excursion.
Never was there a more contemplate
piece of journalism attempted, and it
will certainly consign the writer to the
background where he belongs. Howe
& Taft are reputable business
men, and all the writer of that
article can say against them is
that they are Democrats. The
gentlemen are proud of this and
the majority of the people are with
them. Their enterprise will be sue
cess, more so on account of the article |
referred to.
