A Sample Of One Mans chivairy

The Standard last week, In
speaking Of the scsndaIous actions
of its too-onlcious editor towards
the republicans and the band ON
WalbridRc day In this city. says:
the republican managers
had the sublime efrontery to take
one OF the bands employed by the
street fair association to meet the
speaker at the station, and were
preparing TO have the band head n
procession through the streets to
the court house, when the scheme
was nippcd In the bud and the band
sent about Its business. However,
the opera house band was then
secured and the republicans took
their candidate through Sturgeon
street, interrupting the horse and
stock show and accomplishing
their purpose, which was to draw
a crowd.
The republican managers. never
took the band. but on the contrary
1t was offered them by Jas. Fcrgu-
son, a gentleman and public
spirited citizen of this city, who
was appointed In charge of the
bands, and who ought to have
arrested the Standard editor when
he attcm pied to interfere with his
duties. "Thc republicans took
their can ndidate through Sturgeon
street. by order OF John T. Hens
ley, superintendent, another gent
leman, while the marshal and
assistant marshals rode at the
head Of the procession like men,
and everybody else In tho city
except the Standard editor treated
Mr.. Wal bridge and his republican
friends here and from abroad rs
gentlemen. No doubt the STAN
dsrd editor would preferred to have
s,en the republicans and Wall
bridge march down the back
alleys.

Tho Middlctown Chips editor
got another sympathic strcak On
himself last week, and advised his
republican readers to drop partisan
politics and all vote for Hunt and
Kent-or words to that effect.
These spells strike the Chips man
only when he has personal AK
to grind. as he has this year
Therefore this Is n strictly personal
matter with him. The election of
the twins Hunt and Kent eau do
Middlctown no good, but would
cause two more families to leave
town. On the other hand in the
election OF Mr.. Jones, az n member
of the county court, he would con-
tinuc to remain u resident OF
Middlctown, and might be OF
much benefit to that locality. The
chances, however, are that a
ma ajority OF the voters Of this
county will on election day de-
eide TO allow father Kent to con.
tinue TO toast his shins around his
own pleasant tircside, while that
recently dismissed mail carrier, ],
T. Hunt, can continue his old
occupation OF whiting pine boxes
and helping TO shine up the side
walk planks Of Middletown.
