Show "LICKED AND OHAWED UP." No wonder Councilman Rulon S. Wells promptly stood from under when collusion was imputed to him in tho preparation of the utterly falso and scandalous so-called minority report of tho chosen leader of tho church Republicans, Repub-licans, tho 'church Democrats, and tho ccclesinsta proper in thoir'partisan warfare war-fare against tho American party. Tho Fernstrom charges and tho Fernstrom review of Mr. Edmunds's roport woro so slanderous nnd scandalous, so utterly fulilo and false, thus it would havo boon a surprise iudoed if any man of Mr. Wells's charactor had been willing to stand for them; but it must bo confessed con-fessed that the charactor of tho presentation presen-tation mndo by Councilman Fernstrom was worthily represonted in the character char-acter of the person who presented it. It is a joy to tho American party to know just who is to bo the leader of tho joint opposition forces now and apparently ap-parently in tho campaign which th'e opening of tho fall will dovelop. In reply to the Fernstrom rubbish it will not bo necessary for Tho Tribune to mako any argument. Fernstrom is so roughly handled, ho completely demolished de-molished by Mr. Edmunds this morning in his reply in anothor column of this paper that to ndd anything would not only be superfluous, but unwarranted cruelty to animals. We invite the attention at-tention of tho public to the conclusive and absolutely convincing reply made by Mr. Edmunds, and to his clinching of tho statements, figures, and arguments argu-ments embraced in his original report. To add anything further would be like an attompt to paint the lily or to gild puro gold. |
