Perhaps The Republican was
thinking last week of its vilifica
tion act in last year's campaign
for district judges , as an inspira
tion for the article that it didn't
pay to misrepresent and vilify
candidates. No paper was more
disgraced in this way than The
Republican in that campaign.
"More Misrepresentation/ '
Having acquired the habit and
practiced it so tenaciously in the
campaign just closed , our con
temporary cannot break away from
its endeavors to misrepresent facts
and deceiving its readers since the
ballots have been cast and counted.
It ino wonder under such condi
tions people have no confidence in
the paper from which the above is
reproduced. Why not refrain from
such twadle and tell the truth oc
casionally ?
At the time he offered the certifi
cate of nomination of Butler for
filing "the editor" was informed by
County Clerk Reece that it was not
legal but that he would have the
same placed upon the ballot if no
one objcctedand Mr.Reecedidnot
lay the matter before Mr. Petti John
or intimate to him what had been
doite. As chairman of the republi
can county central committee , it
was a part of Mr. Pettijohn's duty
to be on the lookout for just such
tricks as was intended to be perpe
trated by the opposition in this
instance , and in looking over certi
ficates of nomination he found this
illegal imposition and filed a pro
test. "The editor's" intended
candidatc was notified by the coun
ty clerk according to law of the
protest , through the mail.
In the first place the certificate
had no standing before the law for
the reason no convention had been
held by either the democratic or
independent parties , therefore no
nomination had been made by them
or either of them. In the second
place the certificate was offered
two days after the expiration of
time provided by law for filing
same had it been regular. In the
third place the certificate was not
sworn to and was virtually in the
nature of a forgery. Yes , "it was
a dirty trick" attempted by "the
editor" ? but not "slick" enough to
win. Had Mr. Reece been in
clined to be arbitrary in the matter
and in sti ict compliance to law he
could have refused to accept the
bogus certificate then and there.
# a * Honesty and square
dealing is the better policy to pur
sue iu all things , but if one has
not sufficient moral courage to rc-
frain from trickery and dishon
esty , they should not squeal when
caught and make a bad matter
worse by attempting to besmirch
those who do their plain duty
honestly and fearlessly. Valen
tino Republican.
\Ve challenge the author ; of this
article to show wherein TFIE VAL
ENTINE DEMOCRAT misrepresented
facts for the purpose of deceiving
its readers. No one believes that
we have at any time told or de
scribed an occurrence without
knowing some of the facts. Many
people , however , believe that many
of the articles appearing in the pa
per making this vicious charge ,
aro taken from the columns of THE
VALENTINE DEMOCRAT as d ; a ,
which , m re-writing , have a stci co-
typed form that characterize that
lofty g. o. p. sheef. so prone fo
wander from the paths of truth
fulness and has now gonctogu 5 -
inir at items in part and malicious-
Ty falsifying at times to gain a
point , when plain facts could easily
ban ) been Obtained. 6ar.cly.tho
g. o. p. organ was thinking of it-
* plf in framing the above artic ! *
u > it cannot prove a single iten o *
n\i.sroprc.sentatipn. \
IOCRATvould have nearly twice
' . circulation of The Republican ,
jif , "it is no wonder the people
; have no confidence in it. " We'll
tell the truth occasionally too.
Perhaps The Republican would
not like to have us say , that many
of his apparent thoughtful para-
praphs noting that John Smith or
so and so the hustling ranchman
was in town , in a manufactured ,
stereotyped phrase for nearly ev
ery Jim Crow he sees fit to men
tion , are prompted by _ an article
of original merit seen in another
paper that told something about
somebody that didn't make every
body tired to read.
'Tart of Mr. P's. duty to be on
the lookout for just such tricks as
was intended to be perpetrated by
the opposition in this instance
and" * * * "found this it-
legal imposition" * * ' " ' that
Mr. Reece , as county clerk , knew
to be all right and says he did not
tell anyone , not even Pettijohn , so
theg.o.p.organ charges its faithful
county clerk of being in collusion
with us , eh ? Pretty fix you're in
now. "In the first place the cer
tificate had no standing before the
law for the reason no convention
had been held by either the demo
cratic or independent parties ,
therefore no nomination had been
made by them , or either of them. "
Again the g. o. p. sheet displays
its disposition to falsify and mis
represent and most maliciously.
We refer our readers to THE VAL
ENTINE DEMOCRAT of May 19 ,
190i , giving an account of the con
vention held on Saturday , May 14 ,
in which W. R. Towne was chair
man and Frank Rothleutner was
secretary , selecting delegates to
the state convention and commit
tees to place in nomination a , can
didate for each of the offices , coun
ty attorney and county commission
er , besides selecting delegates to
the various other conventions.
This paper can be found on file at
this office.
The following were named a
committee to nominate a county
commissioner : Ed Satterlee , F.
Rothleutner , HerbertGreeneAVm.
Butler and Ira Johnson. Valen
tine Democrat , May 19 , lOOi.
The Republican claims to keep a
file of THE DEMOCRAT. In anoth
er place this pharisee speaks of
"the editor's intended candidate. "
In another , he says , "the certifi
cate was not sworn to and was
virtually in the nature of a forgery' '
thus again accusing County Clerk
Reece of being in collusion with ,
and , a party to the "dirty trick at
tempted by the editor. "
It has been customary for the
county clerk to receive nomina
tions which contain little irregu
larities and he has placed names
of nominees on the ballots when it
was known that the intention of
the party was to such effect. Man.y
an error of like kind has also been
covered up by the g. o. p. in our
county as the records will yet show
and we say NOW that it WAS a
dirty trick to protest after having
been at fault on similar grounds.
Temperance.
Intemperance is the vice 'of vic
es. In .dealing with the question
of intemperance , the personal
woes and miseries of the drunkard
himself , are a very small part of
the problem , though it would be
a problem pathetic enough if that
were all.
The sorrowful heart , the quar
relsome spirit , the babbling tongue ,
the disgraceful scars , the inflamed
eyes , these are the lothsome cre
dentials of a person stung by the
adder and torn by the fangs of in
tern perence.
But terrible as this is it is only
i small part of the picture that is
painted in heart and life by drunk-
ene s. It sears the conscience of
the drunkard and of the public as
with a red hot iron. His wife and
children and relatives , be they ev-
? r so pure and innocent them
selves , must share his disgrace and
shanjOj and they mast ofton en
dure it aftqr he has ceased to feel
jlie shame of his position. Thi * .
sitter" legacy usually brings the
auso of poverty , the fruit of the j
win bfflflcte ol idlt'&ess and (
waste which grows on the drunk
ards tree , to make still morehom-
ble and repulsive the poisonous
draught.

The Peterson Sisters Concert
Company gave a lively entertain
ment Monday evening. It is not
saying too much to state that this
company , judging from their en
tertainment last evening , is fast
becoming one of the best on the
platform in this line of work.
Syracuse Journal , N. Y.
The Peterson Sisters , in instru
mental and vocal numbers , have
become universal favorites and
have consented to remain two days
longer at the Keuka Park Assem
bly. Yates County Courier.
It is with great pleasure that I
testify to the enjoyment that the
guests at Assembly Park derived
from the playing of the Peterson
Sisters. Every selection was ren
dered with delicacy of feeling as
well as admirable technique. Eliza
