ment needed to refute Mr.. Nichols
statements.
Concerning the malicious attack made
upon Mr.. Mesick by Mr.. y. Church, we
have only to say that Mr.. Church was
disappointed because his brother.in-law
was not made postmaster Of his town,
and Notwithstanding the fact that said
brother in-law's petition for the office
was never filed with Mesick, but ignored
the Congressman altogether and sought
to get the office through the influence Of
Democratic friends residing in Washing
ton, ID. G.. He evidently feels very much
aggrieved at the result and as an evil
dence of his loyalty @ 60 the Repub-
lican party, now comes out with a cir
cular in which he states that he will
not vote for Mr. Mesick and cordially
invites all old soldiers 10 follow his ex-
ample. This circular is full of person.
alities and is as untrue as il is insulting.
In fact, il is quite likely TO have the OPP
posite effect from that intended, as Mr..
Mesick is daily receiving letters from
Democrats living in this county stating
that they hold the writer of this circular
in the utmost contempt and that because
of him and his methods, their votes will
be recorded for the Republican candidate
for Congress.
Again we will say that i'll addition to
his own untiring efforts, MIR. Mesick
has kept two clerks employed, practi-
cally their entire time being devoted TO
the interests of the soldiers of this dis
trict. OF the postoffices of his district,
nearly one third-and among this num-
Der some Of the best at his disposal
have been given TO ex-soldiers.
In conclusion, we have only TO say
that we have sufficient confidence in the
judgement, patriotism and loyalty of
the Union soldier to stand by the Nc
Kinley administration and their faith
full public servant, William 5. Mesick,
who will be returned to Congress by an
increased majority.

Attention, Soldiers!

To the Soldiers of this County:
The attention of the Republicans of
this county has been called TO certain
campaign circulars issued by Alva w.
Nichols, of Greenville, the Popullst
candidate for Congress IN this district
and also TO one sent out by n.
Church, of Ithaca.
These circulars, issued on the eve of
election, and containing as they do the
objectionable misstatements and mlsre-
presentations, show conclusively the in
tent of the authors 20 hoodwink and
mislead the soldier voters of this county
and the wording of their circulars indi-
Gates they are not at all particular as 70
the methods employed to accomplish
their purpose.
Mr.. Nichols has issued at least two Of
these unique campaign documents and
sent them TO nearly every old soldier in
the county in sealed envelopes with
careful instructions 20 keep them con
cealed.
The purport Of Mr.. Nichols circulars
is that the Republican party is not now,
or never was. the friend of the soldier
and that the Mckinley administration
disregards the urgent requests of the
and favorably adjusted. and that he, and
he alone, is the true friend Of the soldier,
and if elected % Congress from this dis
trict he would accomplish untold won
ders from them.
Mr.. Nichols is not an eX-soldier,
although he does not explain why, and
therefore is not any more closely identi-
fed with the soldiers interest than any
other loval citizen; but grant that he is
friend Of the veterans and that he Is
willing to aid and assist them, what
may we ask, will he be able TO accom-
plish if he is successful in his political
aspirations.
The present House of Representatives
is strongly Republican, and it is conceded
that the next one will also be. If
elected. Mr.. Nichols will go down to
Washington and take his seat among n
small number of Populists; he will be in
ahopeless minority, without prestige and
without influence.
Lack of space prevents rs from review
ing these circulars, or commenting on
Mr. Nichols utopian ideas, but concern
ing his carefully worded statements that
the present Congressman has accom-
plished but little for the worthy soldiers
of his district we wish simply 10 state
that the Pension Department has just
issued n statement which statement
can be obtained at nearly all of the fed.
eral ofiices) setting forth that from June
30, 1897 60 June 30, 1898, there were al
together, 56. 131 pensions granted in the
United States OF this number, Mr..
Mesick succeeded in obtaining "A little
over 800 for the veterans of his district.
There are 351 Congressional districts
throughout the United States and you
can draw your own conclusion as 20
whether the Eleventh Congressional Dis
trict has received its just proportion. or
this number, Mr.. Mesick succeeded in
placing 81 pensions in Mr.. Nichols own
county and 80 pensions in this county
where Mr.. Church resides. More than
that, not a single pensioner in the
Eleventh District has been stricken from
the rolls during the Mckinley admins
ton Can Mr.. Nichols say as much for
the preceding administration?
1t seems to us that this is all the argu-

Nathan Church of Ithaca, who has
been posing for the past few months as
a worker soley for the good of the Re-
publican party in Gratiot county, has
again shown himself coward by issu-
ing a slanderous circular, every word of
which he knows TO be false, against Hon.
w. S. Mesick, the Congressional candi-
date on the Republican ticket, TO the old
soldiers of the district. He waits until
the eve of election thinking his rot can
not be answered. His whole grievance
is because his brother-in-law VIM. Mel
son was not appointed postmaster at that
place, and because another brother.in-
law who was democrat postmaster under
Cleveland and who was relieved OF his
duties on account of an alleged
shortage of accounts, was soon to lose
his Job. Such rot coming from him is
lust about his caliber. What can be
said of this man Church? Politically
this is not the first time he has opposed
Republican candidates. In 1870 he put

and there are many who would be glad
if Mr.. Church had taken as much in

the political and financial reputation OF
this freak he should keep his own hands
clean before he tryes to tear some one
