intention of mud-shnging, We only asked
you question when you came blubberins
up with friend who had fallen victim to
Republican prosperity.
The charge was only general one and
you are, at least, the fifth party who have
felt themselves impersona,ed thereby. But
as you are the postmaster of Marques and
are supposed to give part of your income
aud all your time to booming Mr.. Dayton,
the postmas;er's candidate, We will have to
excuse you from telling us abou, the salaries
of the preachers not being raised and the
actual lowering of the teachers wages dur

prosperity. We ask the reader to take your
advice, look up the church aud public
records and you will see in sphicA r,d IF TIE

Isn't II funny TO see how the Republican
Committee has forced Mr.. Heetmans on the
baby editor of the Journal. We have
known for some time that the Committee
was no, satisfied with said baby's actions,
but was somewhat surprised when it was
put in Heerman's kindergarten.
MIR. Heermans gives some glowing touches
to our railroads and the prosperity they are
bringing us, all of which he gives credit to
the Republican party. lie forgets that in
1882. when kingwood district was voting to
issue bonds TO assist in building the w. V.
N. X. X. that he, said Heermans, made
speeches in every school house he could
get IN and on every street corner he could
lind nearer and denounced the railroad in
the most emphatic terms
He claimed the railroad would interfere
with the poultry and pig industry near the
said railroad and that women could never
get their clothes white again on account Of
the SCOT. His argument against bond issue
was about as persuasive as his explanation
of why our factories sell cheaper abroad
than In the home market. Our home peo.
pie pays the profit on goods sold the
foreigner. We don't see how MIR. III. can
find time to leave his Southern hotel and
orange grounds To come up North TO take
charge of the baby. We would think, in
this wonderful age of prosperity, Mr. II.
would want TO be near his greater invest.

But after considering that the Bank Of

We would like for MIR. New Conner, Mr..
