The Railroad DODGE.

The sore heads Of Austin are trying
to induce Republicans to vote for MIR.
Cameron the Democratic nominee for
Representative.
The argument ased.is thatMr. Bsowp
is interested in having the Southern
MINI. R. R, 60 to Brownsville and his
acts: will consequently be uufavorable
to Austin. >:
Now, gentlemen Of the Republican
party, just stop and ask what you are to
gain provided you could do an impossible
thing, and elect Mr.. Cameron. He is
more deeply: interested in having that
road go to Brownsville than almost any
other man and has so expressed him
self within the last year Nearly the
whole Of his property outside Of little
homestead in Austin, consists of land
near Brownsville. The advantage to
him Of having road to that point
would be ten times what it would if il
run TO- Austin
We mo6 sincerely hope the Republi.
cans of Austin will not be duped te
throw away their votes by such subtcr-
fuge.

Clerk or the Court.

L. A. Sherwood has been clerk Of
the District Court of this County about
eight years. During this time, as every
lawyer in the County knows, he has
habitually neglected his duties and
transacted the business in a most ineffi.
cient manner. He is Ring man to
the backbone. He swears by Allen,
Smith & Co., and will do anything to
serve them. He went into the convention
and was fairly defeated. Now he comes
and tries to beg and steal an election by
scattering tickets broadcast over the
County with his own name in place Of
the regular nominee. This act alone
is sufficient to condemn him and should
deter any honest man from supporting
him. No upright man would be en-
gagged in such dirty work.
But what claims has he to che Office :
None at all. He pleads poverty and
weakness. What bare-faccd imnudence
to ask an Office Of the people Of Mower
County on the ground Of poverty
Has it not already cost the County
thousands and thousands Of dollars to
support an d enrich this class Of n'en :?
If there are any others who claim SUBJ
sidy Of this description let them be
sent at once to the poor farm and not
be quartered upon a public Office. 1t
might not be am;ss to ask what has i'm
pcycrished this aims seeking bolter !?
a trae solution may be found in the
causes which. led; to the early decay and
death. Of. Lord Byron,
, No-Mowcr Cvunty has no further
use for this class Of office seekers. No
true Republican will cast ballot with
L. A. Sherwood's name on it.

Another Sell.


The Ring sold their party, their
friends and the people Of Austin yea'
ago, aud elected Democrat Register
Of Deeds. This year they are again uE
to their old tricks. They dare not boil
openly, but they do what is very much
more disgraceful. They are secretly
endeavoring to sell the Republican
party to buy votes for the little insig.
ni6cant bolter, i. A. Sherwood. They
promise all Democrats who will vote
for this whisky distilledtool of the ring,
that they in turn will vote for, Wyckya
for Treasurer. Drowning men soj he.
times do neaner things than to catch
at straws.

March LIST, ofs5G,96S,1s7 80, being an
average reduction of over $S,000,0OO,

ment, is something they were not pre-
pared to answer. 1t is an ugly thing for
them to meet just on tho eve Of an i'm
portant election, and our Democratic
friends here are making all sorts Of
sour faces about it, since Judge Austin
called their attention to the fact in his
speech in this city last week.

lican party perpetuated, to so manage

A Lie Nailed.

Some malicious member of the little
sore headed old ring has started the
story that Mr.. Atherton the nominee
for Clerk Of tic Court is not resident
Of the State. This is willful false
hood, Mr.. Athcrton has been a resident
of Mower county several years, his
property is here, his family resides here,
and has for three years past, their only
absence having been for brief visit
during the present summer. The Re.
pub:icans of this. county intend to elect
Mr.. Atherton by an over whelming
majority. His only unftness for office
Is that he never joined the old ring

their own selfish standpoint and in
doing this become oblivious to what is
really Rr their own interest. Infatus-
ton is a characteristic Of politicians
but we are sorry that honor is not.
Almost ever since its organization
Mower County has been ruled by half
dozen men, most Of these men have
been and are now residents of Austin.
To- support and enrich them the people
have been willing and liberal. They
have given thousands when economy
would have required only hundreds.
These men have been gready and mer-
ciless in their demands. Their ceaseless
cry has been more, MORE! They have
coaxed. and cajoled where these would
serve the purpose, while threats and
prescriptions have been their most tell
ing weapons. Thousands have been
whipped into their traces, and driven
under their tyranical lash. Protested
friends Of the village Of Austin, their
conduct has 5ecn most disasterous to
the interests Of the town. Once and
for the first time these enemies Of Aus.
tin and the people have been defeated,
fairly, honorably, aud effectually was
their overthrow accomplished by: the
people. It was the spontaneous up
rising Of tax ridden citizens. Wise.and
honest Republicans would have accept
ed the result in. a becoming manner,
not so with the Old Ring. unable to
rule they at once determine to ruin.
They bolt the ticket and go with the
Democrats. But this is not the worst,
not coutent with working their own
ruin they seek to carry the voters of
Austin with them. How? by raising
false and puerilc issue about Rail
roads and the fact that Austin ought to
have Representative. We are among
those who greatly desired a. Representa-
tive in the Legislature from Austin.

do these old. fossil politicians now sore
headed and almost defunct, care any
thing about Austin Every clement Of
their little siren 9Th was thrown against
Austin in the convention. Note then
inconsistency. The truth is they are
now endeavoring to induce people to
vote for Democrat simply and solely
to crafty their own personal animosities.
The course they mark out, as it has
done in the past will be suicidal to the
best interests Of the town. Austin can.
not afford to bo constantly At war with

strength enough outside to manage her
every time, if she places herself on hos.

Before let thy future give

Before peril all for thee,
Question thy soul tonight for me.
Ibresls all alightcr bonds, nor feel
A shadow of regret
Is there one lin k within the past
That holds thy spirit YETI
Or is thy faith as clear and Tree
As that which can pledge to thee
Look deeper still. Ifthou cans't feel
Within thy Utmost soul
That thou hast kept portion back
While nave stakcd the whole
Ictno false pity spare the blow,
But, in true mercy, tell me so.
Is there within thy heart need
Which mine cannot iU.hh
One cord that any other hand
Could better wake or stliI:
Sneak now, lest at some future day
NV whole life wither or decay.
CouId,st thou Withdraw thy hand one day,
And answer to my claim
That fate and that too ay's mistake,
Not thou, had been 10 blame !?
Srme soothc their conscience thus, but thou
Will surely warn and save me now.

Yet would sparethee all rcmorse,.
