SUPERINTENDENCY Gov.
TEST.
PATTERSON, Pa, May 16. 1896.
Editor Sentinel and Repu5(icon.-

A Waterford veteran Democrat
in this weeks Tribune, had long ar.
t;cle on the subject Of the County
Superintendency contest, full Of poll
tics, with enough Of woman in it to
spice the piece and taffy the women.
He is evidently believer in tho late
josh Billings, who said, '.you can
catch more flies with molasses than
with vinegar" When I read his
communication, I exclaimed, God
blees the woman, she is the last and
best of the many good gifts of Heav.
en- to man, but the article is such O
three faced production, that I am
wondering whether the writer did
lake to b. sterical laughter over the
airing Of his peculiar and discordant {
notions" ''He may fool the people
sometimes, bat he can't fool ell the
people all the time as Lincoln said
His three booked production must be
intended to catch political suckers,
for Enthusiastically It has 2 political
bait, hanging in full sight all the way
from beginning to end, rotwithstand-
ing his disavowal of political motives
IN its writing He was first for Mar
shall; second he was fer woman:
third he was for Democrat, which
is an exhibition of more cheek than
the proverbial government mule,
which has never been kcown to exhib-
it more than two sides at ono time.
He declares himself Democrat and
then dsnounces Republicans for be-
ing for Marshall, but he was for Mar
shall. He declares lie is Democrat
with SO little politics that he was for
a woman, for Miss McCulloch. He
declares he is Democrat, but with
out politics on the Superintendency
question and then announces himself
for Democrat for Superintendent
after Mr.. Marshall's term expires.
In the late contest he confesses that
he espoused Miss AcCullochs cause
against both Marshall and all other
candidates, Democrats and Republi.
cans. The weather vane on the Court
House does not flop around more in
variable weather than the topper
from Waterford If he is q Demo-
crat, what need he concern bimself
about Mr.. Marshalls Republican
friends caucussing to land him in the |
Supsrinterdent's chair. While I do
not say they did such things
Veteran Democrat clearly confesses
thst he was caucussing with whose
ever would caucus to put Miss Nc.
Culloch in theiSnperintendent's chair.
If he was true friend of Mr.. Mar
shall, he would not berate those who
helped work for him. If he profess
fessed to be for Miss McCulloch and
was working sub rosa for Marshall, he
was not true to the woman. If he was
water on one shoulder for
Miss cCulloch and oa heIother shoul
der carried water for Marshall, and at
he same time IVES flirting with
Democrat for the position as the tail
End OF lis Tribune article indicates.

luce and should be exported to India
70 worthy of being delfied as a god
With face for everyone, but in fact
heart for no one but himself. His
'rticle proves three things. He is
or Marshall because he won, and by
low giving him plenty of taffy and
oft soap, he may get his axe ground

round provided MARSHALL takes lis
