The regular tjprrespondeiit wishes to say that lie has ,, made it a custom all through life to slight no one on account of his political sentiment. When corresponding to Democratic publications he always announces the names ol Republican candidates the same as Democrats, and vtce tfersa when corresponding to JSewubUiran publications. The people pay to' tihe news of the day and they Wpet$ td get a portion from the pen Jpf tile' country correspondent. Th&tnajfjr portion of Tiik Jot unai. readmte |eL,Jackson township •ire Democrat*,,YJIvm are fortunate enough to be aQjl^fto read) and they expect the news and intend to get ft to them regardless of politics, so lonj- as the editor doesn't object, and when he does all will stop on our part.

crats who have political aspirations in Tim Jouknai., and the editor accepts of such items, it is our business and nobody else's. The Waynetown correspondent blew a note on his bugle last week when he should have remained quiet, as he was not concerned in the least in this matter. Had lie a in re in ii a plant he would then have a right to howl, but he has no more interest than we have and so he must agree with all intelligent people that, once in his life he has meddled with other people's business without right or cause. These letters will be conducted in the future as in the past, as far as politics are concerned.
