An IronicaI solution.
The following resolution was offered
by w. H. Robinson:
Whereas, We believe the Republican
party of Sewer county has manifested
an utter disregard for human suffer-
ing by wilfully neglecting three human
beings and allowing them to become
sick at heart and die in absolute want
without political medical aid or sym
pathy, in the house of their friends:
and,
Whereas, We believe that such inn
portant events should not be allowed
TO pass without notice, and we may
observe from the treatment OF these
poor unfortunateS how we'll the Re-
| publican party of this county keeps
! it's promises, how it's debts of gratitude
are paid. and when the day of sacri-
| flee comes, who it is that is placed
| upon the altar: and.
Whereas, We believe we have been
correctly informed, and that these
poor fellows were politically killed and
| buried in obscurity on the afternoon
| of Sept 90, 1906; and inasmuch as il
| has been brought to our notice that
| there is no monument, blazed tree or
other sign to mark their last resting
place, therefore be il
Resolved, That a suitable monument
| be erected to the memory of these de-
parted ones, and that the following
| inscription be placed thereon: ''Sa-
cred to the memory of G. T. Bean.
I. J. Stewart of Richfieid and Christian
Anderson of Monroe: sacrificed upon
the altar Of political ambition Sept. 20
1906. May we rest in peace until the
morning OF the first resurrection.
when we hope to rise with the
just, with Old Glory in one hand and
the Democratic rooster in the other.
P. S.-Wii the Socialist party kindly
see that our political graves are kept
green?''
