ESTABLISHED 1855

OF his superfuous gas aud extol'el his
virtues, which are now nearly forgotten.
de tells tine public how he Travelled
over the roads in rain and shine, day
and night advocating republican prin.
clples; that he stood by the idol of a
large majority of the .ers of Vernon
county, Our Governt and advocated
THE REFORMS THAI C HAS CHAM
PIoNED." just SO, n mith, and here
is where your incon =. ncy is the most
glaringi You trave g ,ver the county,
advocating the ''pri' les" championed
by La Toilette and % flop" around
80 completely over the same
roads in Vernon ce 3 pleading with
republicans to SAC s ICE THE PRINCE
PIES they have G g stently supported
and help nominat ~ man for congress
who lends his in 2 ace to the stalwart
gang IN the ste g enate to defeat the
very measures and others have
been advocatingf support a man who
started state fight against La Toilette
and hired cartoonist to lampoo the
governor in the hope of downing" La
Toilette What a shameful sacrifice of
principlel Would that you could
'spurn" the name of q turncoat and
'scorn" the name of traitor to prin-
ciplel A man who can boast of his
loyalty to principles advocated by La
Toilette and support Jo Babcock with
his whole heart" is certainly q hot
baby" A man who has the gall and
conceit" to imagine that only HE is able
to represent the Third congressional
district in congress from Vernon county,
is certainly entitled to the sympathy of
his fellow sufferers You, who six years
age, went to Sank county to plead with
R d. Evans to become candidate for
congress against Babcock, to help you
down" Bah, telling him that he Evans
had a splendid chance of getting the
nomination and exclaiming ia his usual
emphatic way that he didn't give d-d
who got the nomination If Babcock
could be beaten. You travel over the
county now telling the people that Ma
honey wants the delegation to barter
off. Oh you great and only Smith You
drove over the roads in rain and shine
and never got cent-probably by driv-
ing over the roads in snow and sleet in
the interest of Babcock's mid-winter
caucuses, you may be able to make up
for lost time.
Tim" Pollard, a rank democrat,
working the county for Babcockl Verify
this is q combination that would make
wood-pecker smilel Tim" Pollard
and E. S. Goodell bed fellowsl How
Tim" must smile when he thinks back
to the time when he defeated Goodell
for sheriff. A man so manifestly un-
popular that he got beaten by q demo-
crat in Vernon county, is the man Bah
selects for his head shouter in this
county,
What thing you, loyal republicans Of
the bold statement by one of the faith
full Babcock shouters, who made the
significant statement on Saturday last,
that If Babcock's money holds out, we
| will beat you yetp What a shocking
confessionl Here is the key note to
J ''Bab's" campaigning Fight for prin-
ciples2 Oh mol Who cares for princi-
ples2 Money money Is the factor in a
Babcock campaign. Money Is what is
| going to saddle Babcock upon the Third
congressional district two years more.
What ar insult to free meni What
burning shame; what reflection upon
the honesty and integrity of the voters
of the grand old Third congressional
district. Will the voters tolerate such
q vile and disreputable attempt to buy
| the Office? If So the very foundation
of our republican form of government
is shaking If such outrages are per-
mitted, government ''of the people,
for the people and by the people, will
soon perish from the earth. Let US rise
in our might and rid ourselves Of this
plutocrat Let us exercise our sover-
eign rights and relegate to political
oblivion this cancer" from our body
politics and elect y man who stands for
principles demanded by the voters of
the district and } state.
