Show End of the Egbert Contention I Tim Uepubllcun Is still harping I about the alleged Republicanism of nllss Egbert. As to that matter It's ui) to the public to choose between Miss TIgbcrt and John" P. Cardon, the Republican's informant. Miss Kgbert sajs she has never professed Republicanism Republi-canism nor posed as a Republican In any way. John P. Cardon sajsshu has andtheiejou aie. Democrats know that Stell.ilOgheit has been a woikcr In tho party foi eight years, and do not question her Integrity and veiaci-ty, veiaci-ty, and If The Republican can get any pleasuie or piollt out of their attempt to make of tills young lady, a llai and a hypocrite they are welcome to It, for It won't Injuie hor, her character being be-ing too well known for that. "The Only." It Mo be regretted ihat tho Democratic Demo-cratic oigan insists on trying to de-l de-l fend Miss Kgbcit when theie Is no dc fense, and ceitalnl) It is to bo logiet-ted logiet-ted that that paper should use such words as "llai" and "hypocilte" in connection with her name. No one else has done that, and "the only" will stand condemned by those who care for decency In language.

Adams, K.ra H T. Lloyd, Orval Adams and John II. H Gnchm, and the signatures of others H may bo otfercd If the names o.f these H unimpeachable gentlemen are not suf- H llclcnt. Miss Kgbeit and all others H present were made to understand that H only Republicans were to vote in this H republican primary, ami Democrats H weie requested to sit on the side of H the house opposite to the Rcpuhll- H cans. Some changed, but tho Demo- H cratlc nominee did not, and voted H after the resolution was passed. Mr. H Cardon told no iiutiuth, and "tho H only's" Implication Is exceedingly tin- :H Just. Tlie Democrats have either H nominated a Republican for recorder H or eKe one who has violated the rules H that govern in political matters. iH Klthor should place her beyond Dcm- ;H ocratlc voles. Kor the sake of Miss H Kgbcrt, Tiik Rki'Iiumcan prefers to H believe that she docs not countcii- H ance the attempted defense of "the H only" and that she mado no such 'H statement as that paper savssho has H |
