June 27, 1878
Attorney D. A. Fletcher, of Maquoketa, is a candidate for
District Judge. We fear the gentleman aims too high. He might do
for a Justice of the Peace. -Bellevue Leader
Well may Mr. Fletcher cry out, “save me from my friends.”
This ramshackle sheet flaunts at its head “official paper of
city and county,” and is the recognized organ of the
Republican Party of this county. The Leader is opposed to Price
or any other good Republican. It supports anything anti-Catholic
that will contribute a nickel to keep it from utter starvation
and suspension.
