"SomeV V(egislation may be

know little about the United

they land or join some colony of
their countrymen in that or some
other city. Commissioner Sar-
gent proposes TO have officers
inform the immigrants and to
help them along. The trouble
with many of them is that they

called upon MS nelgnDorS ION
pir views on the question, and
agreed that it was but a man of
aw. Still unconvinced, he ar
I'd the case, until one of the
ghbors, to prove that it was
of straw, set fire to the fig
which was soon but a pile of
es. The farmer still insisted
it was man. He had said
nd no proof could change his
ion, and therefore it was
q day last week, some one in
flee of EUery Evening, at loss
bpy, happened to think that
was to be special election
Georges Hundred for Re-
native to fill the vacancy
by the tie vote of Novem-
}, and that another Repub-
might be elected to the
lture. This was result
le approved-by Espefyst Etsn-
sequently scare crow
kst be raised. Knowing that
gut of nearly 600 Republican
4 votes, less than 40 were Union
Republican the charge was im.
mediately manufactured that EN-
erson is supporter of Addicks.
Itwould make a better story if it
were dated Middletown, there
fore the date line was added.
The first statement was that the
defeat of Emerson is generally
acknowledged; the second that
Emerson is an Addicks man; the
third that Emerson was first
nominated by the Union Republi-
cans, and that therefore, he must
be an Addicks man; the fourth
that Emerson is cousin Of Gov
ernor Hum, and therefore, he
must be an Addicks man;
the fifth that corruption alone
was depended upon to elect EN-
erson; therefore, he must be an
Addicks man. The first state
ment is disproved by the fact that
the Democrats, especially Every
EUeaing, are so badly worried
about the result that they are
using every sort of deception to
try and wean votes from Mr.. EN-
erson. The second has been de-
MED publicly by friends of Mr..
Emerson, who have known him
for the more than twenty years
that he has lived in Middletown;
the third can be disproved by the
files of EUery Euening which show
that at the Union Republican
Primary Election held on Sep.
tember 10th, although Mr.. EN-
erson's name appeared upon the
ticket, not one vote was cast for
him, Rev. J. M. Arters receiving
every vote cast and being de-
\ clared the nominee; the fourth is
