The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1903-12-29

The furry which the Commercial
Tribune created in its alarm editor
ial article respecting the nomination
of Roosevelt is obviously sub
siding. The country Republican
newspapers, all over the land, do not
sympathize with the shivering, tech
chattering demonstration of the de-
generate scion of the old Cincinnati
Gazette, and they have not been
slow in penning their views. There
is no tremor in their voice, and no
evidence of a shaky hand in their
chirography. The people feel, Demo
Gratis as well as Republicans, there is
an honest man at the helm, one who
is approachable, ready TO listen at
all times to appeals, but an outspoken
terror to all schemers. There is no
posing in his manners no dilly-dally-
ing in his makeup, 70 vulnerable
spot in the shield OF his integrity.
He is not an aristocrat in any sense
of the word, nor Il trucker to the
money power, and the people know it.
The alliance between them and him
files a solemn protest against di-
vorcement, and no man can put il
asunder. The political cry of ''Hon-
est Old Abe Lincoln drowned the
carping cry of censorious critics in
1880 and 1864, and Honest Theodore
Roosevelt will do II again in 1904
