In this department the people talk, and not
the editor. Each writer must hold himself ready
to defend his principles and his statements of
facts. "In the multitude of counsel there is
wisdom." Ed. Joubnal. 1
Ed. Journal: I noticed a communi
cation in the Democrat signed "Voter"
which I consider a very weak answer to
the charges laid down by Democrat in
his article on "True Democracy."
"Voter" seems to have satisfied his
wrath by throwing "campaign dirt" and
seemingly trying to hide or evade the
charges in a manner that can neither
bring him into prominence as a writer
nor help Mr.Waggoner's cause for county
superintendent
It is noticeable that tho public acts of
public men are open to criticism, at any
and all times, and when charges are
made they should be answered, (not
by bluster), but in a straight-forward
intelligent manner, which would
show the writer, to be endowed with at
least a little sense.
The most important charge made by
"Democrat" was, that "Waggoner ob
tained his much-boasted, first-grade cer
tificate" by having been given the ques
tions previous to his examination. I do
not make a practice of engaging in the
quarrels of others, but when the public
inetrests are at stake, on this important
office, I feel it my duty to say that I
know the above charge is true, also, that
the party who gave the questions could
give Mr. Waggoner's recent letter no
answer, but would justify the charge.
My desire was to keep "mum" in re
gard to this affair, yet am too well ac
quainted with the facts to allow "Demo
crat" to be accused of being a "would be
important creature," when I can sub
stantiate tho charge made and give
names (if necessary).
Democrat No. 2.
NewH from Walker Township.
Ed. Journal: M. C. Bloedorn was in
this township last week looking after his
political interests and the writer was as
tonished when Martin told him that the
people on his rounds through the county
confronted him with the latest coined
news of him being a sot, and that he
wasn't sober in the last two years and
that he belonged to the prohibition party.
I said to myself what is politics coming
to, and I say so still, I have known Mar
tin Bloedorn from a boy and I will leave
it to all who know him, be ho democrat
or republican, if ever he bore the name
of a toper or a man of quarrelsome nature.
Ho is one of the best known men in the
county, and I will leave it to the saloon
men and to the temperance party if such
an accusation against such a sterling man
as M. C. Bloedorn is not a vile slander,
on tho face of it. Mr. Editor, the man or
party who is ablo to manufacture such
campaign stuff as the above don't desorve
victory at tho hands of the voters. Was
Martin an entire stranger to us, such lies
might gather strength, but as it is, they
will fall harmlessly on the breeze. I am
of the opinion if the democratic press, is
so hard pressed to find campaign food
for their subscribers that they must be
lie ono of the best and noble-hearted men
in existence, it is high time that honest
men learn how to vote independantly,
for it appears tho time has arrived when
when the voter must see for himself and
choose the man he thinks will serve the
public best, regardless of the wind bags
who send forth their lying edicts to in
jure tho best of men. Justice.
Ed. Journal: A communicant to
the Democrat, assuming tho part of a
campaigner, starts out by calling "Dem
ocrat" somo campaign epithets, which
6hows he is trying to bluster over the
charges against Mr. Waggoner in a man
ner that leaves the questions where they
are and tho proof attached to them,
which no amount of "buldozing" can
cover up. Mr. Voter claims Waggoner
to be "an honorable man whose pride it
will bo to raise the standard of educa
tion in tho county." As to honor, he
may bo very honorable in his business
transactions, yet he acted very dishon
orably in receiving his first-grade cer
tificate which he is in no way entitled
to, and he knows that one of the first
questions of every examination is: Have
you seen this list of questions before?
When a man answers in the negative,
when the opposite is the truth, he surely
knows ho is forfeiting honor.
As to raising the standard of the ed
ucational work, there is no better rule
than that "by their fruits ye shall know
them," and judging from his lack of
interest and poor success as a teacher
the educational work of the county
could not bo made to tower very far
above tho man who aspires to control it.
