SAYS EVERYBODY LIED.

John W. Medicos cards tbe Rensselaer Republican to the effect that Rev. Royce ‘‘storied” to him when he signed tbe recent saloon remonstrance here, and says The Democrat editor lied, or words to that effect, in his stateof the case, also that he did not vote at the judicial election in Cook county last yreek, and that he will not be a voter of that state until August. 26th next. John has perhaps forgotten that when he signed the remonstrance he said he was a resident and legal voter of ward 1, of Rensselaer—the caption of said paper so reading—and that his public statements to several others as well as The Democrat man bore out this inference. As to his Being entitled to vote in Illinois on August 26 next, we think the gentleman’s arithmetic is afflicted as badly as his fickle mind. He voted here last November, and if he immediately thereafter took up his residence in that state he would still not be a legal voter there until next November. Of course we care nothing about where Mr. Medicus claims a residence, but merely called attention to the inconsistences of his declarations. Many people regard a signed declaration to be as truthful as an affidavit, which it should be. A man who will deliberately lie in the one case might also be induced to lie in the other.
