We lind iu the next to last issue of the Herald a scurillous squib ripping our fellow townsman, W. L. Hoffman up the back, and we wish to brand the same as a lie. We have known W. L. Hoffman for the past twenty years: have seen him rise from an honest, inde pendent laborer to a position of in fluence, and we can attest that his record is that of a perfectly honest man and that lie conducts his ex tensive business independent of aid from the Union Tanning Co. or any other trust. Now as to the ottice for which Mr. Hoffman has been nominated, we are sure that the interests of the tax payers would be a great deal safer in his keeping than in the keeping of a-would-be political re former who would work to elect the devil if he thought his satanie majesty would cater to his selfish ambitions. The Herald's cry alniut the Un ion Tanning Co. owning candidates seems to be a little late, since dem ocratic candidates have been elect ed to more important offices* than that of county commissioner, whom we believe are owned body and breeches by the same corporation. The mud of cullionlyhuii ed at W. L. Hoffman has rebounded as peb bles thrown against Gibralter, and he stands more firmly grounded in the approval of his neigliliors who resent the efforts of the oily tongu ed crank of the democratic machine at Dushore. to wrest him from his position. Trusting that 110 honest voters have been led astray by the false statements appearing in the Her ald, we are yours for honest offic ials. An Independent Voter. The Hußhesville Kair.
