PEERLESS AS A DISSEMBLER.

AS a dissembler. the editor of the
Boomerang hasn't a peer in the state.
In his issue of last evening he states
that prior to the election of Judge
Brown this paper was "b~elaboring the
electric light company and %contending
that in case of the lection of Judge
Brown the %lecetric light company would
be brought to time" We challenge
the Boomerang to reproduce a single
word printed in these columns prior to
the election of Judge Brown which
could by any possibility be construed
into ''belaboring the electric light COM
pany."
Again, the Boomerang says: ct
was always surprising to a large num-
Der who knew the way in which The
Republican has been favored in a bust,
ness way by the electric light company
that it waged such a warfare against
it."
There are only two lies in that SEN
tence. In the first place. The Republican
never waged a warfare aginst the light
company, and in the second place it has
" beef particularly favored in a
business way by that corporation. The
Republican has used the electric light.
paying metre rates for it. and it has
done some business in the way of print
ing for the company, charging the reg
ular rates of this office. The business
account between The Republican and
the electric light company is square.
At the present time all The Republi-
can asks of the council is that it shall
give home institutions a fair. square
deal, and that it shall do this in a man.
