can primary election in this coun-
ty was not held under the State

the committee did not adopt and

, ger, but we will have to take a
! different view for many reasons
Most of our negroes; in fact, all
we know, will pay an honest debt
if they agree to. We know, to
our personal sorrow, that Smith
won't do so. When we sent a
! note of hand, with Smiths name
! to it to his home bank for collec-
ton, it was returned with an in
dorsement on it that would make
the lowest colored men we have in
our city blush a deep bright red
to have such a thing said about
him. This note was given us for
work we did for this man who
says such vile, false and disgrace
full things about us, and Smith
collected the cash for the work
probably inside of few hours at
ter we sent it to him, months ago.
Now, a negro would be more
grateful. He would have more
honor and decency. So, we insist,
Smith is not in the same class with
the negroes, and we ask the col
ored mems pardon for even, in
an argument, suggesting that they
were no better than Smith. There
are other reasons we could give
why Smith is not in the class OF
the niger. A niger was so or
ganized by the Almighty. He
emits from his skin an odor the
fellow cannot help, but Smith is
simply too lazy to keep himself
clean, and his smell is distinct,
plain and well known, but it s
nothing but dirt-slimy, sinking,
filthy dirt. Smith pretends he
don't like niggers, but we know
of none that are not his superior
mentally, morally, physically and
smellingly. The Star in its last
issue defends Riggle and Kirch-
ner, and at heart is really sup
porting these candidates. AS the
campaign goes on the Star will
have more to say in favor of these
men. 1t detests Armstrong, Work
and Shriver. If the committee
keeps the Star in line it will need
that $3000-and more, too. It's a
pity the Star is controlled by such
a mean. miserable skunk as Smith,
but we will have to stand it as
best we can.

| few did, and they eyaded the law
to carry the election. 1t was no
legal primary, and is not binding
on anyone. No candidate was le-
gally chosen, and the whole pri-
mary was a rotten farce. After
the primary we were simply dazed
when we heard of the bold manner
the election was held, the voters
bribed and the way some election
officers violated the State laws by
giving out Red Tickets to voters
as guarantee they had voted as
they were told to vote, but when
the people began to talk about
arresting the poll clerk and COM
missioner a committeeman said it
could not be done, because the
election was not held under any
State law, and no one was respon-
sible. An investigation disclosed
the fact that this was true, and
the people had no remedy. We
have not said much about this
feature of the swindle because we
knew the matter would come up
before the court and we waited for
the opinion Of Judge Willis, who ,,
confirms all we have said. 1t was
no legal primary. The officers
were not criminally liable for
anything they did. No one could
be indicted for buying votes. The
honest election officers and voters
of course, held fair election, but !
the dishonest ones held a high
carnival of fraud of all kinds. The i
Almighty alone knows how and
for whom the people really did ,
vote or who legally voted and
who is entitled to the nomination.
Perhaps the matter can be RENE /
died by an injunction to prohibit
the candidates names who claim
to be nominated from being print
ed on the ticket, or a new primary
called or a county convention
called and candidates legally
chosen and demand the names OF
the men nominated in convention
be printed on the county official
ballot. The matter can be and it
should be remedied. Such gross
frauds are not good for our cOun-
ty or people. 1t will be worse the
next time, and will disrupt the
party and result in boodlerS only
being able to win. We consider
it the worst crime that has ever
been committed in our county.
It's not a matter of politics, but a
question of who is going to rule
the honest voters or few men
who will resort to any measures
to control the political affairs OF
our county. Down the boodlers
either by new primary or con-
vention or by electing Kirchner
and Riggle and the other opposi-
ton candidates. We can down
them-and we will!

ing a number of articles IN thai
paper about the Oil Review. Thls
man says cts a cowardly act tc
demur to a declaration in slandel
or libel" No man but a fool, idiot
or a reckless liar would publish
such a statement. A demurrer goes
to the very gist or merits OF case
and decides the question OF law
whether a suit can be legally
maintained or not. In the suit
mentioned the declarations filed
by the plaintiffs attorneys were
50 defective the plaintiffs own at
torneys frankly admitted they
were wrong-fatally so. We pre-
sumo The Star will now insist 1t
was all our fault the papers were
wrong, that we could try a suit
that had no legal standing IN
court, and the whole affair our
fault. In the last issue OF this
reckless liars paper he says IN
substance the editor, who IS
spending a few days vacation at
Chautauqua, ran away, leaving
home Sunday to avoid trying
these suits. We left home on We'd
nesdav, we are only few hours
from home. so the Stars state
ment is really too silly to notice.
We were represented at court
by Judge Pugh and Judge Jacobs,
30 we did not have to be there IN
person but we were in close COM
munication with our attorneys
and ready to answer roll-call any
day. We do not know why de-
fective declarations were filed.
We only know they were wrong,
that the plaintiffs own attorneys
said so, and the cases dismissed at
the plaintiffs cost. with leave to
amend if they so desire. 1t was
no fault of ours. We were sued.
We promptly gave notice we
would demur, as every man does,
or would do, who defends any
suit, and after our counsel argued
the demurrer the plaintiffs own
attorneys admitted their bill was
wrong, and so the case stopped
wholly on account of the plain
tiffs failing to prepare their pa
pers legally. Whether it was lg-
norance. carelessness or according
to instructions from their clients
we cannot say. All we know is,
we made the only defense we
could. 1t was entirely out of the
question for us to prove or dis
prove anything, under bill that
charged nothing that is actiona-
BILE. AS we have stated before, we
will in due season publish affidav-
its of Republicans who swear
they sold their votes, and other
things equally as bad-or worse
but we will do this in our own
way and at our own discretion.
The Star bolted the ticket after
the primary, as all its readers
know. We have been told for
5000, paid the Star by the Repub-
lican County Executive commit
tee, it came out to support the
ticket. We have no doubt this re-
port is true, only the amount
seems large to us. We think we
could buy men like Smith much
cheaper. The Republicans in the
late primary paid negroes So
vote: so. from this basis, we would
say that men of Smiths calibel
ought to be bought to do anything
except to work for about 80 cents
or three for a dollar. Of course
