nEMocRAIIc HnnSEclEANING

with William A. Scott, president of
the Levy Court, voluntarily retired
from the contest for denomination and
reelection in the Fifth district, and
with Henry M. White, the Democratic
member from the Fourth district, bowled
out by the Democratic voters in the
district. the only Democratic member
left in the field is John j. Mealey, OF
the Third district There were two
reasons which led to the retirement Of
Messrs. Scott and White. One was that
the rules of the Democratic partly pro-
vide that the office shall rotate from
hundred to hundred in the district, and
the other that the act passed by the
Legislature rendered the present in
cumbents ineligible for reelection. But
behind 1t all there was a hearty desire
to get rid OF Democrats who had so
conducted themselves officially as to
render themselves obnoxious to the
people and to force the party to act
as their apologist in an important cam
paign. What will be done with Mr..
Mcaley is a question. Perhaps the
County Committee will reach him by
declaring him ineligible for reelection.
II 1t does, the house-cleaning will be
complete, so far as the Democratic
party is concerned. but how it can de-
fend the past work Of its servants
when their official conduct is assailed
is not clear Mr.. Scott had the good
judgment TO retire. Mr.. White pre-
ferred to stand and be defeated, even
his own home hundred repudiatine
him.
The record made by this Levy Court
is disgraceful one, and the taxpayers
are fully alive to the need of electine
men who will regard themselves as the
financial agents of the people, and not
as men whose chief duty it is tC
squander the county's money and in.
crease its bonded indebtedness.

cant reservation. 1t is prompted by
his familiar knowledge of the inner
working Of Addicksism. Addicks never
won a primary and never won an cleo
ton without the lavish and corrupt
use of money. He invites Republicans
to participate in common primaries,
knowing full well what his sinister pur-
poses are. Acceptance of the proposal
would mean a campaign OF corruption
on the part Of the Addicks leaders in
their mad endeavor to obtain power
and national recognition. Republicans
will not become parties to such a
scheme of debanchery.

Il is astonishing what an effect a
sherin's advertisement has on the edi-
torlal conscience OF the Daily Republi-
can. Sheriff Taylor is an Addicks man.
The Daily Republican gets his printing.
That is why It is trimming so indus
triously at the present time. It wants
the Addicks printing, and it wants the
Republican printing. To obtain the
former it is compelled TO sacrifice Re
publican principles and betray the con-
ildence OF Republican advertisers and
subscribers. but that does not meAter
In its equivocal course II carries water
on both shoulders and blows hot ant
cold on Republicanism. II 1t continue!
IL soon will lose whatever public re
spect it now enjoys, for in an emer
gency like this. when every Republi
can should stand true to his principles
II is no time for a trimmer to ply hi
vocation. Let the Daily Republican de
clare itself one way or the other an'
not hedge and haw for the mere sak'
of few dollars which an Addick
sheriff deems it polite and profitable t
throw in its way.
