such tempest about their tears as Dr.

the Democratic party in its present

The Democrats have also attempted
TO bring a few issues into the cam
paign in order TO cover up the main
issue. the jury system. They have
delved and dug. They have studied
the RECORD and records with the dill

that the Republican ticket from

The court house gang" has received
the undivided attention Of the Demo
cratic coterie. We have explained that
there is nothing in this phrase that gets
any votes. II the court house gang
had done all yon claimed, it is no worse
than to tell old man Artlack that you
we're going TO meet at 2 p. m. and then
TO take time by the forelock and meet
at 10 a. m. and make your nomina-
tons and leave him out You may
say. as you have, that old man Artlaek
don't amount to anything and the jail
er's office don't pay much anyway.
That makes no difference. He was en-
titled TO some sort Of a show and you
gave. him none. You could boldly have
run over him from the front, but Il
suits your disposition better to stab in
the back like an Italian coward. He is
too honest for YOU. You try to reason
that il is cheaper for him. That you
would have traded him Oft for Joe
Rochester or Dave Woods anyway.
That is weird logic. The court house
gang" stands high with the people Of
Crittenden county when they are put in
comparison with a gang who meet and
dump 5000 in this county 10 try TO
buy up n couple Of county Offices. They
stand high with the Republicans Of this
county when compared TO gang that
tried to throw out the vote Of this
county in 1900 because Il gave a big
Republican majority. They stand high
when compared TO set Of men who
/ attempt to destroy the ballots in No,

no chance TO cast their ballots. Thcr
