state from the nasty democrats. Mr..
Scott would serve his party and coun-
try more and better if he would spend
his time in investigating the cause for
which so many republicans stayed at

the matter of how many repu olicans
voted the democratic ticket. " e fear

There has been quite furry about
the letter which we printed on our
first page last week, which seems to
have been sent generally 10 the news
papers of the state and there seems to
be some Irickery about the matter
During the early part of this week we
received letter from the National
Distillers' Association, liquor trust,
from Cincinnati, in which they set out
the letter and state that the matter has
been Investigated and that it has been
ascertained that the address given in
the letter, Is B Street n. w. WASH
ington, d. e., is the headquarters of
the Anti-Saloon League, Good Temp
lars and some other temperance organ
izations, land say sit is easy tejudge the
source of this letter." thus trying to
make it appear that the temperance
people are engaged in underhand, dis
honorable and !ibslous methods. 1t is
very unreasonable to suppose that the
temperance people would attempt such
methods. They are largely, and almost
entirely made up of christian men and
women who would he above such
methods as their dstillers are charg-
ing them with. Could it be possible
that any man or set of men, even If
they were disposed to engage in such
methods, would leave their track I'M
covered by putting their correct adj
dress on the libel? The ithief who
breaks into your house and before
leaving with his booty sits down and
carefully writes his address for you to
write him would be bigger fool than
a kuav1.
Ii Is B Street N. w. Washington, is
| the headquarters Of the Auti- Saloon
| League, the only sensible solution of
the letter is that 1t was writ en- by the
trends of the liquor people or by them
! -e'Ves and with The design of follow
| ing it up with the letter from the dis
| !.lieIs to dlscredit aud dishonor the
/ temperance people. Such schemes are
! he natural products OF saloon politics,
a species OF which we are now having
! an overdose.
| We have referred the Two letters to
! he superintendent of the National
! Anti-Saloon League and as soon rs we
hear from that course We viii give our
| readers the benefit of our information

one of them AMI cannot endure any
reference 10 them IN their true light.
He takes their money, an he says, with

the stronger Wilson grows.
