That's Right, Charley Parks Did Not Sign It.

The Democrat is enjoying a discovery. Charley Parks, assessor of Newton township, who is. a progressive man and consequently in favor of anything that will promote the welfare of Newton township and the city of Renssealer, recently called at The Republican office and asked that an article contradicting misrepresentations in The Democrat be written and his name signed to it. The Republican did as Mr. Parkis requested and was very careful to embody into the article exactly what Mr. Parks stated. To be exact, Mr. Parks did not write it and did not sign it, but he has been a reader of The Republican and a friend of its editor for a number of years and he will doubtless inform the excited editor of The Democrat that the article he authorized contained what he authorized and that it expressed a truth he found to exist in Newton township. If the Sherlock Holmes on The Democrat could now discover a remedy for the grouch the editor wears it would deserve something better than the ignominy the public so unanimously grants it.
