The DUTY of Republicans.

| Inere Is an important duUy lncum-
bent upon every loyal, intelligent Re-
publican this fall and that is to vote
the straight Republican ticket from
top to bottom. Whilst we may have
differences of opinion in regard to the
issues of this campaign, yet we cannot
afford to let our mortal enemy come
into our garden and weed our potatoes
The Republican party is broader
deeper and longer than any individual
in it.
Can we afford to assassinate our con-
victions for the sake of any individual?
| No! No! A thousand times no. Can
we, by criminal ignorance, renounce
those grand principles taught by Lin
coin, Grant, and last but not least, that
statesman of statesmen, VIM. McKin-
ley.
Shall we allow our enemy to mislead
us by campaign of villification, hypoc-
risy and malicious lies? They tell you
on the rostrum that they are friends of
President Mckinley and the present
administration. Stop one moment and
look back at their recent conventions,
held in every county in this grand old
Commonwealth of ours, and the resolu-
tions adopted were these: !'We pledge
our loyal allegience to Bryan and his
free silver heresies; we denounce the
present administration of William Nc
Kinley, the War Department and the
war" Yet they will come to you and
tell you there are no national issues
They cite you beautiful passages of
reform.
Steady, Republicans! Stand shoulder
to shoulder; don't deceive your better
Judgment, by hankering to the TRADES
of calumny, heaped upon individuals
in order to mislead you.
What is the matter with w. A.
Stones candidacy for Governor? A
man of ability, of sterling qualities and
one upon whom the sword of criticism
has left no mark.
G. w. Stone, our candidate for Con-
gress, is a man who has been tried and
not found wanting; an able legislator
|
tation and one who was even recog-
nized by the Cleveland administration
for his ability.
Major j. Y. Brown, our candidate
for State Senator, in this district is an
old soldier, with a record for bravery
that is enviable. He should receive
the vote of every patriotic citizen.
Remember how important it is to elect
Mai. Brown for Senator.
Our next candidate is Representative
to the State Legislature; one who has
already represented us with ability;
one who, if you examine the records
of that Legislature, cast no vote to
exempt foreign corporations and EX-
press companies from taxes; man
who time and time again, has proven
himself the poor mans friend, aud a
worthy exponent of those grand prin-
ciples of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and
Mckinley. The coming Legislature
elects United States Senator and we
want no Democrat to represent us and
denounce Mckinley's administration
as they have in their recent resolutions.
This war is not settled yet. Are we
by our votes going to print the mark
of shame on the brow of that grand
patriot, soldier and statesman whom
the nations of the world have learned
to respect and admire? God forbid!
Elect Henry Ii. NIulliu to the Legis-
lature and by so doing you will be
doing your small part towards sustain
ing the President, as that is the only
way you can help him.
Our candidate for County Treasurer
is a man you cannot afford to defeat;
man who is responsible; one who arose
from day labOrer to be recognized as
one Of the most successful lumber and
business men of his district one who
is large property owner in this town;
a charitable humanitarian. No man
ever left his camps hungry. Any man
who can conduct his own business
successfully can easily by trusted to
conduct the business of the county
without placing any of his friends in a
precarious condition. He is worthy of
the office, elect him.
John Mcdonald, our candidate for
Associate Judge, needs no introduction
to the voters of this county. He will
be elected by large majority. His
popularity among the laboring men of
the county speaks volumes for his
standing in the community. quiet,
unassuming man, yet his high moral
character and manly treatment of all
with whom he comes in contact gather
the people around him. Judge Nc
Donald will not disappoint the people.
This is campaign of vital import
ance to the country. Be intelligent,
be true to yourselves and to the princi-
pies you have always advocated. If
grievances exist amongu us is it patriotic
to throw down our arms to the enemy
because some captain displeases you?
