TO WHOM IT HAT COHCKKN.

Having learned that Some of tit?

V E R N O N S I G N A L , make, in justice to him, the follow-ing (statement: . The picture was put in the S10

NAt, without Judge Sorrow's knowledge or consent, and with-out any suggestion or intimation on his part. It came about in .this way: I jound the cut in fa Louis-ville Times last winter when the "Qld | Judge" was prominently mentioned as a probable [candidate for the U. S. Senate,, and simply intending to pay him a personal

npliinent and without thinking that it would effect the vcte in the _ _

'• put it, in. My relations with Judge ^orraw TiaVe been widiat and bc-

able andrnpright Jiidg*, I took the prlsilege.of pntting iu the 'picture. This is the ;um au<l substance ol 'my offending. If in so doing, I hare done him, an injustice or hpve displeased any ol his friends I re-gret it and have thus tried to make "The Amende Honorable." t* is well known that I am a Democrat, and always vote that ticket and take no part In Republican pri-maries. And whether Judge Mor row or Judge Denton gets the nomi-nation, I will rote and work for. the success of any good Democrat who may he a candidate against the nomicee. Hoping 'this explana-tion will be satisfactory to all con-cerned, I am respectfully,

Editor Signal: We see that some of out Repub-

lican friends are calling ua ""'bolters" Who have always been boHrrs both

politics and religion? Have they not always been tptn who have stood in the van guard of civ-ilization?

He who stood on Pisga's height and viewed his people's promised land from afar, bolted from Pharoh's oppression and led thg *£ons of Israel from Egypt's dask land to that land that Bowed with milk and honey. Mosea was a )>oiter.

When this world of (>urs was shrouded i».the veil of .intellectual night, when the earth bowed to the mandate of the Pope^at Rome, those illustrious bolters, Wycliff, Lather, Calvin and Knox struck from the limbs and minds of men the shack-els of Catholicism and the Protest-ant religion shed fta light upon a gladdened world. Jj^esley in Eng-land and his compeers in America, bolted from the established creeds of their day and gave to man S bet-ter and truer mv to follow the teachings of the Humble Kazareue. Tiny ,»Wlall bolter*,'becanst-;«7 dared to do the right, and stood up! boldly against the errors of their day.

When England's oppressive King had disregarded ilie rights of his subjects, the Bolters of Eng-land met htm cn the immortal field of Runemede, and wrested from the tyrant's hand the Magna Chit«8,t)ss galaditjRjri: syr liberty, and to-day their praises are sung wherever the human heart i' by the sweet concords of freedom; 'yet, they were bolters.

They opposed wrong and up-held the cause of right

And, in our own beloved land, when King George Itrampeled up-on the rights of our people. Wash-ington and his patriotic comrades unsheathed theii swords and bore their breasts to England's ledan mist fits t trough seven years of bloody war that you and I and all of us might be free.

In answer to an article which ap-peared in the "The Republican" of last week in regard to the duct of some of the County Officials We wish to differ from those whose names follow that article

If necesgpry, it can be proven by reputable Republican citizens that some of said officials have been guilty of official and general con-duct, not only unworthy of their-of-ficinl positions, but of the djgnity and morality expected of the humb-lest private citizen: M.
