If you want a competent and honest
County Commissioner vote for W. H.
O.itcrhout,
he worse feeling man in Elk
County is "Bantam" Miller of the Elk
Democrat, and his article of explanation
is pronounced on all Lauds the thinest
hing of the scaaon,
A paper dollar is now worth about 84
cents. The policy of the Republicans
is to nit ke it worth 100 cents in gold.
The policy of the Democratic party is to
make it worth 50 cents or less. Cm
an; laboring man fail tj see lor whom
he should vote?
"Bantnru" filler advises Brandon's
man Fiiday not to "whine like a
whipped cur if we hit hard in ieturn,'
forgetting it seems that he "whiues" at
a fearful rate in tl u same column.
Ohio looks better and letter. Offi
cials returns from 70 counties and au
thentio returns from the retnaioing 12,
Kive Hayes 9,549. Olebillallan his
gone to the "rag baby V funeral, and
Sam Carey hasn't been heard from
since election. The chaps who bet on
10,000 to 40,000 Democratic majority
for inflation, may safaly pay their bets?
A greater man than "Bantam" has
. . m iu(j gttra UU IC'Ji UUUUC O til O U
don't hurt hlia, Lut these A n little
truths are the things that cut."
Now "Bantam" we don't feel half as
bad aa you do about these little "harm
less pleasantries," you delight in.hut our
advice to you is that "those who live in
glass honses should never throw
stones," and a sure sign of wrath is to
'rise and explain" as you weakly at
tempted to last week.
