ANOTHER FALSEHOOD
T. w. Crutchfield Replies to the Re
publicau's "Ex-Dem mocrat.,,

Some one writing in the Union Re
publican of this week over the name
of ''eX-Democrat' makes MANY malic-
lously false statements. Prominent
among his wild remarks We find the
following: paul, he of the noble
strain. direct from Abraham Lincoln,
an "old liner" from ''far buck, =" 50
far back that no man ever knew H.,
was Republican until h. was can
dld ate for Treasurer IL few ear,
back. >
The man who gave expressio.. to the
above lie was either rene rade Dem
ocrat, foreigner, or failed To re. al the
pubic prints of the past twenty years
On the 26,h day of May, lSSi, the
Union Republican itself says: Paul
w. Crutchtield has been appointed
mail agent on the Salem Branch Rail
road, in the place of Mr.. j. =. Vest
resigned. No better appointment
could have been made. Mr.. Crutch-
field is true and tried Republican.
and most efficient man.
Seventeen years and three months
have elapsed since the date this item
was written by the Republican, and
yet this same Paul came from farther
back than that date, and he has other
proofs equally as strong of his early
and continued allegiance to the Re
publican party, and that is more than
many of the present otfice-holding crew
can say, and we would suggest that if
the Republican desires to retain its
subscribers it would do we'll to see
that its corps of eX-Democrats stick a
little closer by the truth.
+. w. CRUTCHFIEI.D.
p ST had baan tal,in0 an6 naYip,r
for the Republican for nearly twenty
years, and only ceased to take the paper
because eN-Democrats, foreigners and
imported bosses were allowed to die

Stormy Times In the Lodge Room
Election of Officers Deferred.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 25.-The
knights of Pythias' biennial encamp-
ment is nearing it's end.
The election of officers of the Su-
preme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, did
not take place this morning. 1t is
usual to elect officers the third day of
the biennial session, butitwas objected
to because of the Investigations that
are now going on.
There were stormy times in the lodge
room this morning, and several ap-
preparations that usually went through
with whirl at former meetings were
either referred or voted down. This
morning a resolution was introduced
that will cut the expenses of the meet
ing of the Supreme Lodge half in two,
and will make this session the cheapest
ever held with so many representatives
present.
An attempt will be made to reduce
the number of the members of the
Supreme Assembly, Uniform Rank,
and warm fight is expected over it.
The commit ee went at the salaries
In sight. The committee recommended
that the per diem of the supreme
representatives be reduced from S5
and cents each way to So day and
cents mile actually travelled. This
report has precipitated a fight that
has almost become personal between
some members.
