THE Elizabethtown News announces
that in the future nothing shall tempt it
to discriminate between aspirants for
Office until nominations have been made
by the parties. OF course then it will
support the Democratic nominees. This
worthy organ further states that II puts
the party above the man in every cleo
ton. This is the plan that has been
followed by the greater number OF news
papers during the recent sensational
campaign, the disastrous results Of which
are now before the people. The BRICK

News is for the man in preference to the
party. When the men in Office get
right and work together for the best
interests of their constituents, then and
not until then will the parties be right,

ranks of our mental and moral giants
and there will be no complaint as to
party from US. We can then support
good Demo crst against good Republi-
