My friends and good ueighbors,
as am your oldest citizen and a
man that admires your generosity
and noble qualities, irrespective OF
your political or religious faith, as
to prejudice you, you have none In
neither, as you are on the eve OF
your city election 1t Is wise and
prudent for you to get capable and
good honest men In ofice-you
have plenty Of them to choose from:
Two very important Offices are to
filed, one Is a Justice OF the peace,
the other Is to be the Judge OF the
schooling of your children. So far
as am concerned If I was going to
die tonight and had to leave a
guardian to educate my son, I have
not the least doubt In my mind nut
Charley Bailey would do Just as l
would order him to, although l
know he Is not Roman Catholic.
because know him so we'll that l
have as much confidence In him as
I would In Robert Emmet or In
VIM. Smith O'Brien, and they were
neither of them Roman Catholics,
but lost their prospects and their
lives for their poor Catholic coun-
trymen. Tn.nk God, I have sc u
and the most of that vapor
called prejudice vanish these
eighty two years I have lived
on earth. You remember the AL
mighty will grant and hear your
request at the Top of the Black hills
as soon as he would at a vatican
altar in Rome. If you was sincere.
You can't get a more capable man
In this STATE than Charley Bailey Is
for this office Your next office Is
Justice of the Peace. Is there any
who has known Squire Kirkland
can say a word against his honesty
and capability, be he Democrat or
Republican, Protestant or Roman
Catholic?
I never heard one word said
against him. He Is young man,
came here a few years ago. He
was trusted with several occupa-
tons that he filled with sd action
to his employer and to himself His
opponent Is Capt. Pine, He also
came here a few years ago. There
Is no man In this city admires
Capt. Pine more than l do He had
and has had the best and latest
Offices In the city and he Is worthy
of them but he must remember
both him and me and such as us
will have to leave here In a few
years at best and that 1t IS our duty
while here to help our young men
to run this great country after we
are gone. Citizens of Sistersville, /
ask you this, whether we would
think as much of Washington to-
day by resigning his office or pre-
side over the people he emauci,
pated-from the greatest tyrant on
earth and 60 as he did to the bosom
of his family to Mt. Vernon, or
play the hog and gobble everything
In sight.
So tar as I feel myself, never
admired hog. So far as Captain
Pine Is cotieerned, considering the
state of his health and all he has to
do, I think he has as much as the
state of bis health can tend to.
Capt Pine, withdraw, In favor of
Lynn Kirtlanl and if you do,gener.
atoms unborn will bless you when
you are In your grave.
Probably you can't say there Is a
ring In our city hall-composed of
the following trades: They say
there IS a butcher and a tailor, the
10Th part of a man. There Is a vul.
can there, they say, that looks alike.
I tell them they must get an Ebber
Smith to make the ring or we will
bust 1t unless the doctor will put a
