In every instance where fraud has been detected it has been at the ex. pense of Phill:pps and in favor oi either Brewster or Mccoy Courier.
 Name a single, solitary instance where Brewster committed or at tempted to commit a fraud All the fraud that was Eerpetrated was done to defeat Brewster, and all the fraud that has been discovered was unearthedsby Brewster Bro. Phil lips not being a factor in the race, none of his conduct was inyestigat- ed, but considering the amount of money he spent in the campaign there is no telling what might have been discovered had the Search light of Truth been turned upon him.

1t is just as essential 10 concen- trate on man for sheriff whose political record is ahove reproach as it is to choose q nominee.
 Is Brewster's and McCoy's records above reproach?
 We pause for reply.-Ph Hips O.gaa.
 The GRAPHIC will make answer for Mr. Brewster. Throughout the contest not one word of reproach can be truthfulIy uttered against MT. Brewster. No fraud was com mitted by him or Jor him. Brews- ter was not the beneficiary of any fraud, whatever fraud was com mitteed was done to dtteatBrewster. The only charge brought against him was the affidavit by one of the discredited election judges of Mel ton township who stated that some body had told him that Mir. Henry Winters, [a clerk of the election had said that he Winters had $10O of Brewster money to carry the Melton ballot box. This was purely Aearsay evidence, and would not be received in the courts. But ask Mr. Winters about it. No less thar three times has he stated in the presence of witnesses, and no later than last Saturday, that he never received as much as one dollar from MT. Brewster for any purpose what ever. The statement is absolutely untrue, and a gratuitious refec tion on Mr. Winters as we'll as Mr. Brewster. It was made by those who, like the scuttle fish, were endeavoring to blacken the waters around them in order to hide their own dirty work.
 Now let's see about that Melton

PHILLIPS is making another des- perate effort to get into the sheriff s race. But Phillips will not be in it at the last quarter. The race is where It was before, between Brew ster and Mccoy Three days before the last primary. to listen 10 his men was to hear that Phillips was going to sweep the field, but when the returns came in he was third in the race, allowing him the vote re ceived but not counted for him in Melton township. Phillips is a good three-quarter sprinter, but usually falls behind at the final mile post.

Tie o,d TIme staeeeoacIl.

In 1762 there were, strange as is seems. only six stageeoaehes running in all England. and of course these were the only public vehicles for travellers. Even these were Q novelty, and per son named John Crosset thought they were such q dangerous innovation that he wrote 9 pamphlet against them. nThese coaches, ? he wrote, make gen. tlemen come to London upon every small occasion, which otherwise they would not do except upon urgent neees- sity. Nay, tho conyeniency of the pass age makes their wives como often up, who rather than come such long jour- neys on horseback would stay at home. Then when they como to town they must bo i'll the wade, get fine clothes, go to plays and treats, and by these means get such habit of idleness and love of pleasure that they are uneasy after.

blllot box. 1t was reported to have gone for Phillips. The vote for Mccoy and Brewster was small. MT Brewster up to the returns re ceived the Sunday morning after the primary, had good plurality It was not believed that the vote from the unreturned precincts could change tue result if the ballot boxes were brought in as voted. If Mel ton township gave it's votes to Phillips, with an even break be- tween Brewster and Mccoy, it would result in Brewster's election.
 The Sunday morning after the primary it became evident that the Mccoy men were making desper- ate effort to get the vote of Melton township. Monday the vote of Melton township was returned as being 39 for Mccoy, with a small vote for Phillips, Brewster and Philpot.
 This return was known to be false, by both MT. Phillipps and MT. Brewster. Then it was that Mir. Brewster went to Melton township and secured the aflidavits of the voters showing that the returns were false.
 The vote of Melton township was not needed by Brewster; it was aeeded by Mccoy. Mr. Brewster had no ether interest in it than 10 see that the vote of Melton town ship was returned as uoted It could do Phillips no good; if not transferred to Mccoy, it could do Brewster no harm. It was to pre- vent this transferrence of the vote to Mccoy that was the cause of MT Brewsters activity. Although it was done, Mr. Brewster showed by the af1idavits of the voters that the returns were 1alse.
 It will therefore be seen that Mf. Brewster had ID other interest in the Melton ballot box than to see that it was correctly returned Men do not spend money for nothing, and even had MT. Brewster been so disposed, it is not reasonable 10 suppose that he would offer $l00 to have the ballot box returned for him when he did not need the vote, and when, if it was returned as east, it would still give him the nomination.
 We conclude as we began, that Mr. Brewster was guilty of no fraud. He went into the contest in an honorable way and came out of it with a clear conscience and clean hands.
 The affidavit of one of the discred ited judges of Melton township is both a lie and islander.
