The Evening Star. PUBLISHED DAILY AT FOUR P.M. Resurrexi. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1881.
The old electioneering dodge has been resorted to in this contest. Saying that pressure has been brought on men to vote for particular candidates. Any person who knows how the ballot is protected will laugh at the idea. Mr Ehrenfried may have saved his money, and not been indignant over idle slanders. Their very absurdity should have made him do so. We entirely acquit the reputable bodies who are running Mr Speight as their delegate from any complicity in these slanders. When they are traced to their source it will doubtless be found that Mr Speight has evolved them from his imagination. There are black sheep in every flock, and those of our friends who are running Mr Speight at the present time, and felt some anger against the local Press, will in due course know that Mr Speight is estimated by us at his proper value. Why cannot the friends of Mr Speight fight fair P Why should they allow themselves to be demoralised by the chance association of his being their delegate P Better things .ought to be expected of our townsmen.
