When the democratic County Convention me,
in council on the 9th July last. and offered to the
democracy of Crawford, ticket for their support,
it at the same time, endorsed the candidates by the
following resolution, which was passed by accIa-
nation.


Resolred. That this Convention have offered for
the support of the citizens of Crawford county,
gentlemen of aeorth and merit, and deserving of
The warm and enthusiastic support of the democ.
cy Of this county.


No one will deny the responsibility of the per.
sons who composed this convention and therefore
their endorsement is good.


The character Of Mr.. MAYERS was endors.
ed by three hundred citizens of this county, who
at the same time pledged themselves 'to use all
fair and honorable means" to procure his election.
Can Mr.. SIMPSON show more than this for him.
self?


In 1912 Mr.. Mayors character was endorsed
by the citizens of this county who elected him to
the Assembly by a vote of 537 outstripng all of
his rivals for the same honor; and by reference
to the poll books Of this precinct, it will be seen
that the Goth vote poed for Mr. Mayors, was Civ.
en- by JAMES A. SIMPSON, epen he endorsed
him.


Now these gentlemen are competitors for a seat
in the Assembly, the latter is denouncing the for.
ner, and rebuking the good people of Crawford
who endorsed Mr.. NJ.


lfthe facts given above did not warrant us in con-
sidering those gentlemen as equals; the evidence
'"'"''''0er No oy 'h''. rv"'"rns r,vr',,-y
Justify us in coming to that conclusion.


Mr. Simpson in his speech upon the occasion H..
Iuded to, digressed from the usual questions which
should occupy the candidates, and denounced Mr..
Mayors in one of the most severe, unmany, up.
generous personal attacks that we ever heard from
the stump.


We. who were rebuked by Mr.. Simpson in this
attack. heed it not, for in the affair MIR. Mayers
obtained the decided advantage. The rule among
gentlemen is that if person is so degraded wretch
as TO be unworthy of the notice of a gentleman,
he is then unworthy of his comments, it is ungen-
erous unchivalric to attack him. We therefore
suppose Mr.. S. did not deem Mr. NJ. beneath
his comments he could no, consider him as his in.
ferior. sustained as Mr. Mayors is. by his nomi.
nation and the resolution of the democratic con.
vcnt'on Of July last, by his election in 1912 by
so large majority of the votes of Cra y ford Co.
and by the vote of Mr.. Simpson himself.
