Democrats then, and no Offices
had been available up to that
time to mortgage anyone with.
The question is not difficult one,
SO let us put it this way: Was
everything mortgaged two years
ago? If they were not, why as
sumo that few Office holders are
mortgaged this year? We will
not assume to answer the refer
ence to Capt. Dovener's hostility
to the civil service rules. Doven-
er, it seems, did say that if the
Democrats were allowed to still
hold the offices it would be diff
cult for Republicans to get elect
ed to Congress. Hundreds of Re.
publicans around here were of
the same opinion. They thought
the offices should be given to the
Republicans, and were bitter
against the Cleveland blanket or
der that kept Democrats in. In
fact, we believe a candidate for
Congress who upholds the full
text of the Cleveland civil service
ruling will have a difficult time
getting to Congress. The TELE-
GRAM must once more assure
Judge Campbell that it enter
tains for him very high regard.
The estimate it places upon his
worth as a citizen of marked
ability-a man of honor and
known integrity does full justice
to his magnificent manhood. We
are glad that after serious re
Election he sees the uutenable
stand he took in relation to post
masters. We must confess it did
no. do justice to his usually clear
judgment. We hope henceforth
to see the campaign placed
upon higher ground. We do not
believe that the Office holders,
postmasters, ETC., should dictate
who should be the standard
bearer any more than the disap-
pointed applicants, soreheads and
kickers who have done all they
could to defeat the party, should
rule. The candidate who seeks
to elevate himself by appealing
to the soreheads and disappoint-
ed office seekers by striving to
create jealousies and discords is
only making frightful pitfalls
along his pathway which in the
event of his nomination must be
corrected or his election is but an
idle dream.

JUDGE CAMPBELL is given space
in this issue to correct his rather
inappropriate attack on the post
masters of the First District.
He seems to think the TELEGRAM
did him an injustice, but our
views of the matter remain I'M
changed. He plainly and with
out attempt to Jungle words or
conceal his meaning intimated
that every man who accepted a
postmastership was mortSaged
and no longer had any ideas ex
cept such as are given him from
the man to whom he sold out.
The distinguished jurist assumes
that because a few men in Brax
ton and Lewis counties, who are
now postmasters. seemed to be
friends of man named Dovener
that there was a horrid conspir-
acy of all the horrid postmasters
in the First District to nominate
certain man for Congress. If
Judge Campbell will put on his
thinking cap he will recall sew.
eral such conspiracies. Two
years ago the conspiracy took il
the whole district, preachers
blacksmiths, miners, railroad
men and God knows what els
we're mortgaged. The mortgage'
crowd over run the convention
and the candidate was nominate'
by reclamation. The post Office

THE TELEGRAM has no iacli.

THE TELEGRAM has no incli-
nation to enter into a lengthy
discussion of the merits of the
several candidates for Congress
in the First District. We know
them to be first rate gentlemen
and it cannot be construed that
we are especially the champion
of any one of these distinguished
gentlemen. This much, however
is true. We have at present Re-
publican representative in Con-
gress from the First District.
His acts as a representative of
the people are being criticised by
the Democratic press; as a Re
publican, elected by that party
and by the power of the Repub.
lican press, the only place he
can expect to be given fair treat
ment and have the fallicies of his
enemies shown upis in the Re-
publican press. The TELEGRAM
is NOT called upon in any sense
to seek to influence its readers in
the interest of any particular
candidate. 1t is our duty to de-
fend a Republican member of
Congress from all the assaults OF
his political enemies when we
have a representative who has
done his work ably, conscientious
ly and to the satisfaction of his
party. Such defense of our rep
resentative is not in the interest
ofhis denomination, but is de,
tense of the Republican party
