RALLY! RyBUKE Tue RING!

l
The struggle is approaching! One
week from next Saturday, the 2S,h of
September, at two o'clock P. NJ, the Re-
publican voters of Saline county are re-
qucsted by the call Of the county central
committee, which is published in this is
sue of the paper, to assemble in their re-
spective precincts to choose delegates TO
the county convention, which meets in
Salina, October 5th., to nominate coun
ty officers, to elect q county central
committee and appoint delegat,'s to the
Senatorial and Judicial convention which
meets at Ellsworth on October 10Th.
The whole fight must be made at the
primary elections. There honest l'epub-
licans are entreated to rally in their
strength and, by their votes, rebuke the
continued exactions and assumptions
of ring which is blasting the prosperi-
ty OF our county and giving Saline
county politics despicable name abroad.
1t is full time the people were arousins
themselves, putting on the armor of de-
termination and rushing to the polls to
grapple with the malefactors who have
been trying to run our county govern
ment in their own interest. Probably
the tick ct that is nominated will be elect
I'd. Therefore, the whole struggle must
be to elect delegates to theprimaries. 1t
is not enough for the voters to say, "we
are against the Ring and don't want any
of the Ring nominated" bu. they must
turn out with their friends en- nasse and
elect delegates to the county convention
who do not belong to the Ring. If the
voters do not wish to see Senator NOM
mated who would sell himself to the high
est bidder; member of the legislature
WHO'S 20 be Jumping Jack Of the Ring
chief; clerk of the district court who
has eaten dirt and wal!owed in the Ring
mire for time out of mind to gain their
support ! county attorney who has
no character and never brought any
with them, and who has absolutely sto-
len over three thousand dollars in the last
eighteen months from the county+then
they must attend the primary elections.
Elect delegates who are 4" teeth and toe
nail against the inscriptions set who
propose to bleed the county for the next
two years. If stern and determined
fight is made at the primaries, all will be
we'll. We have not the least doubt It
that people arc convinced the present
Ring must collapse soon bat they are
roften careless and let the primaries run
by before they are aroused. Let them
remember how much is at issue now,
and they will not fail to be present.
1t is conceded that much depends on
the success of the firing ticket Of
delegates in this (Salina) precinct. We
would therefore earnestly entrcat all the
voters to be on hand, ready for the fight.
Let your ticket of delegates be carefully
read. See that every man upon the
ticket is first, last and all the time op-
posed to the Ring candidate for county at
itorney. There is no doubt but that he is
bound to he defeated if the voters all
come out.
The Republican National and State
tickets will gain great strength by repu-
dating the Ring ticket, which has been
made up for a, least six months. The
Republican cause has already been great
| " injured by the tyranny and corrup-
ton of the pretended "reisrlng dynas-
ty" of Saline county. Many good hon
est men have become discouraged at the
prospects of change and have joined
the Liberals, hoping that reformation
in our county matters might be brought
about through the instrumentai'ty OF tha'
party. If a change were immediately
effected. by the nomination OF 3 good
ticket, many OF these voters would be
reclaimed before the ides Of November.
ihen let the voters take interest in
: '"e coming primaries and see that good
Ring.
