ed friend flattered him. and with
as good reason might Hon. William

Save me, for if you don't, l am de.
feated by the fool acts and looks Of
my fool friends" Certainly no
man can more fully realize that one
TOOL friend is worse than dozen
enemies, than the very able LAWYER
who is now seeking the JudgeshipI
at the hands of the Democracy OF
Dubois and Pike counties, an in.
stance Of which is shown in an
article in last weeks COURIER"
headed 1.-the Damp Pool from
Plke,' an article whose venom and
idiotic expressions are certainly en-
tlrely uncalled for The compli-
mentary expressions in the article
In favor Of Senator Traylor will GER
family not be gainsayed by any good
Democrat in this equity. But
when it goes out of the wav to stab
other democrats of the county, Just
as worthy, and who have served .
their party and the county Just as
well, and in just as honorable posi-
lions, this action certainly calls for
protest from every democrat in the
county who desires to see the dem
'cratic majority in Dubois county
assume its old time figures. The
democratic majorityin Dubois coun-
Y was built up and maintained by
democrats standing shoulder to
boulder, and forming such solid
'halanx that not only the republi-
an party, but the gates OF hell it.
elf have not been able to prevail
gainst it.
1t the old time prestige is to be
Maintained it can only be done by
ur democratic brethren dwelling j,
'gether in peace and unity.
"A house divided against itself
annot stand" much less can we
kpect our democratic majority to
and this fall, when our enemies
lthout are SO confident, strong and
'werful, if democrats Of the coun- IL
are to employ their time in stab
ng each other in the back.
Whether Prosecutor Cox or Sem
Or William A. Taylor was the :,
oice 81 the democracy OF Dubois 'n'
unity last Spring for Judge, is now
st history, and it is idle to specu-
e upon it. Each made a gallant
mt and fell, and each was backed
by strong following in this Fl
unity, and for Virgil to say that
e was supported by nearly all the !
ding citizens Of the county, while the
other only had the no. d-oyer 10 /
nator, and the younger members con
the bar, is base fabrication of nle,
own intellect. Besides being
oported by the three oldest Dem. Mar
attic lawyers Of the county, Judge -
ether, Hon. John +. Tieman =

ing support in every township in :
