What the writer intended TO convey

understood was that the editor was

Just at present. after a political
campaign, it is possible that the
people Of the county have had a
surfelt of spellbinders. as McCum-
Der, Bluegger, Tobias Casey. Helge-

other great statesmen have stunped
the county during the present year.
However at the proper time. the ed

About the only other point Of i'm
portance that Mr.. Wood seeks t,
1 make in his article Is that he is
little above the ordinary class be
cause he is the progenitor Of fou
boys This fact he harped on con
tiauously during his bursts Of elo

True, he should have some credi
for that, because they are bright
husky little chaps But, if prepo
tency is to be the standard Of abil

forgotten that there are men VIII
have more than double that humble
of boys. Why, the writer of tn
article is not SO far behind I'll
Wood class; for he, himself, b;
three boys. But, really. the fathe
hood of offspring is hardly ia
gauge Of ability. AS matter
fact, a sire horse, bull or jackas
in the mere matter of quantity
to progeny, is in class much high
than that of the socialistic gent
man who also ran" at the late ele
ton.
