Times:-—1 would hke a little space in the columns ot the .TiMEs to explain the conversation that I had with Sly, of the Adrian Advertiser, "S6. : | and on account of which he has taker | Was conyicted on purely circumstan- | one the opportunity every respect. tew matter, to falsify me in I will explain in as words as possible the whole On Tuesday, July 6th, while waiting at Adrian for the south | bound train to take us to Butler, 1 was in conversation with Mr. Silas Starks and several other gentlemen, infront ot Mr, L. H. Stephens’ grocery store. The Rev. Sly came and plucked me aside and com- menced to talk about the congres- sional campaign,and wanted to know what could be done to carry East Boone for Stone. It was rather a delicate subject tor me, as J. T. Smith had explalned to me just one week previous how Hon. W. J. Stone had held Walton’s letter, that he afterwards claimed was an offer to bribe, from February 1885, until September of the same year before he published it, and for that reason, with several others, I was no longer a Stone man, nor did Sly ask me my preference. I suppose he took it for granted that I was for Stone, as | had previously written N. A. Wade that I was for Stone, and did work some for himthen. But to my story. Sly said: ‘*Friend Mudd (as he usually cailed me,) I have struck onto a schemg that I think will work to Stone’s advantage in north Bates, and that scheme 1s this: I will fur- nish the Adyertiser, from Wade’s subscription list, to every reader ot the Democrat in north Bates, for 25 cents percopy during the campaign, and Wade to pay for same out of campaign tund, and he (Wade) to write in favor of Stone and send it to him and he would publish it as his own production.’ He turther said that his reasons for doing this were that what Wade says through the Democrat don’t have much weight with the pe would have the pee, bu desired effect ii published ay the words of 3i,, who, he said, the voters would consider a disinterested party. At this juncture I excused myselt and walkedinto Mr. Stephens’ store and got a drink of water, and asl passed out the Rev. Sly called to me aud said he wanted to see me turther. I waited at the door a mo- ment or two and notced him writing at Mr. Stephens’ show case. Rev. Sly didn’t come, so I said to }. M. Chambers, collector of East Boone township, who was with me, that we would go to the depot, and we started to cross the street and Sly called me back and handed me the note referred to, of which I have a copy. Now that Friend Mudd called upon him is a lie; that he asked how I stood on congressman isa he; that I said I was then for Stone 1s a he, and that I deceived bim is a lie. As for me not getting the nomination for judge, I have the first time yet to complain, and I fail to understand what the congressional race has to do with me not getting the nomination. In conclusion, I will say, that this ex- pose, as Sly calls it, is tor no other pur- pose only to try to hide the fact that he was on the market and wanted me to let Wade know, that he, Wade could buy and use him fora very small sum. I didn’t catch on to suit him, hence he says he will place me ‘where my influ- ence can be bought fora copper.” Slv runs his paper like he preaches, where it will make him the most money regard- fancy shirts this week $150 shirts for $100. | American Clothing | House. less of principle or religion.

Read up on Mr. Stone, Of recent date the Democrat ha had quite a demand tor Congress- mau Stone’s celebrated arbitration speech in Congress. ‘To accommo- date this demand we have published the document. Coming from a man who a stockholder in a bank at Nevada, the Stone Wall Cattle Co.. organized by Mr. Stone—the declar- | is ations, so oft repeated that ‘‘corpor- | ations ought to be destroyed,”’ brings an echo that sounds very much like demagoguery and insincerity. Had he been on hand to vote for the pas- sage of the bill, which should have passed Congress unanimously, ke | might have made the country think | he was really in earnest, in espous- | ing so heartily the laboring man’s cause. If he was present when the | arbitration bill came up, we failed to note that fact. Had he while scat- tering tor political purposes, have favored the Reagan proposition to | control the corporations of the coun- | try, by the strong arm of the law, instead of proposing to destroy them, and have the government take hold ot and operate them, he would have been treading in a practical cause, from which sore good results might, | andgcertainly will come—but no. He is smart enough to see that an extreme course will be barren of any legislative results—and the vote of a certain order was all he then had his weather eye upon. Democracy 1s opposed to centrali- zation, and when Mr, Stone’s de- claration is read broadcast by the masses, that corporations ought to be destroyed, and appeals to the government to take possession of and control their property, for all once becomes untenable, and un- democratic. But from the effort made by the Windsor Knight of Labor Lodge to influence that order in Mr. Stone’s behalf, by passing resolutions of endorsement, and promising him its support, shows that he has partially succeeded in his caiculations. But will not such demogogery lose him more than it will gain? Democrat, no matter where you belong, whether to secret orders or not, look to it that you caretuily and logically consider the issues before you become identified with any man’s cause.—Clintun Democrat.
