Democratic messenger., 1895-09-28
For Surveyor,
WILLIAM SHOCKLEY.
BADLY MINED,


BROTHER QUINN seems to he as
badly mixed up in his explanation of
that printing bill as he is in his poll.
tics. Two weeks ago he came out
boldly and told a downright falsehood
which he, in measure, admits in the
last issue OF the Enterprise. He step.
ped out boldly into the arena and de-
clared that Mr.. Matthews gave him the
order 10 print the Local Option bill.
Mr.. Matthews said he did nothing of
the kind and Quinn had TO take wa
ter.
His attempts at explaining away
his purpose to dei'raud the county are
very laughable and show that he has
found out the MESSENGER is not the
commonplace paper he thought it was
when he launched his craft on the
journalistic sea few months ago, and
sailed into us.
We had no fight with the editor of
the Enterprise until he attempted to
deceive the Democratic voters of this
county by TRADES of Misrepresentation,
by bold-faced lies, and by wearing the
cloak Of reform TO cover up an at
tempt to turn over this county to the
Republican party. 1t was our duty
TO tell the people how much a reform
er Quinn was when he had a chance
toget his hand into the county treasury.
How little he cared what the taxes
were so he got 50, $500 out of the
taxpayers. And he and all others
like him might as well know now as
later that threats Of pulling anyone
into this or any other discussion we go
into will not deter us. We never 90
oil hali-cocked and we have not as yet
told some very important facts in con-
nection with this printing fraud /;
neither are we disposed to get mad
when DIR. Quinn gets in corner and
Kisses between his teeth you're
liar" We know whose shoes are
pinching-whose corns are aching
whose cheeks are covered with blushes
Of shame, and il is abont time for the
people Of Worcester county TO be
knowing that i is easy for Editor
Quinn to get n press and few
types and under the guise of filling a
long felt want. start out to find fault
with everything under the sun which
has not been done 10 his order. TO
call every office holder rascal and to
misrepreseEt everyone who does not
think as he does-to yell down with
the bosses - with the hope that he
might become n boss himself, and in
various other ways attempt to close the
peoples eyes. Every Democrat who
reads the Worcester E,teypri~e which
Is being spread over this county in di-
rect violation of the L. 5. Postal law
which is being forced into unwilling
hands, with the view of serving the
Republican party, will remember that

paper 50 much interested? Did not
the editor once attempt to get out of
this county s2,57S.00? Was he not
foiled in his purpose by Democratic
Board Of County Commissioners ?
Then what shall We conclude, if we
judge people by their past acts? That
he expects 10 get control of people who
will see that he gets big slice of the
spoils il they get in.
