fRepublican Answers ***Editor Record:It is an easy matter to find fault and criticise other people’s actions. There are many who can see the mote in other people’s eyes, but fail to see the beam in their own. (These fault finders are like the MethodiseSreadier who wrot e a book criticising 'apoleon’s battles). This is also true of political parties. As everlasting and eternal fault finders the Democratic party of this county and state is the ehampiou a*.;d enuilcd to the medal. The Lord knows they have nothing to be proud of in their own political history. See the amount of Democratic defalcations that are taking place daily in the Democratic states. In* the Republican states the principal business of good Democrats is 10 find fault with everything Republicans do either in an official or party sense. They are like the dog barking at the moon—notwithstanding the dog’s barking the moon keeps right along in its course without paying any attention to it.Would it not be 6ense as well as good policy for our Republican officials to keep right along in the even tenor of their way in the path of good government and true fidelity to the people who put their trust in them by electing them to office? I am surprised that a newspaper calling itself a Republican will* so bemean itself as to open its columns to grumblers and detainers of Republican officials. Let these fault finding nondescripts take their vile grumblings and mutterings to the Democratic newspapers where they will be harmless/ But pray don’t make them semi respectable by publishing them in Republican newspapers. From the amount of discussion that has taken place over the killing of Mr. Chevalier, one would conclude that some serious offense had been committeed by our county coroner in refusing to hold an inquest over a transaction that is known to everyone. He showed good sense in refusing to spend the people’s money when there was no occasion for it. Would that all our oounty and city officials would show the same amount of back bone in their official expenditures, if they had, our taxes would not now be so heavy. The doctor has been raised amongst us. We all know him to be a high-minded and public spirited man whose character is above reproach. He has nothing to fear and everything to gain by his high minded silence to these grumblers and fault finders, and when he comes up for reeiection the good people of Douglas county willendorse his action on this matter by an increased majority.
