Down in the town of Mcpherson lives
cur by the name o. McClintick. That
he was ever deliberately Designed by
Nature for a man never entered the
mind of single human being. From
his little 2x6 printing Office kennel he
jumps out and barks at anything and
every body, but never goes beyond the
length Of his chain-each and every link
of which was made and hammered out
by NJ. P. and 7. E. Simpson.
Some way or another he got it into
his diminutiye head that the people OF
the Both District were SO hard up for
timber as to want him for State Senator.
How he ever got it into his head to as
pire to position so far above his abil-
ties as the heavens re above the earth,
passeth all understanding. 1t was in
deed like the maniac raving amid his
straw and chains, fancying himself
king. A smile oycrspread the face of
every voter who was acquainted with
this wouId-be Senator, when the fact was
announced that "His littleness" G. w.
McClrtick proposed 10 be candidate for
this Office. Strangers,to whom this aspir-
ant was pointed out, at Lindsborg, laugh
ed in their sleeves and said: care you
joking? He candidate for State Sen
ator? Why, he looks as if he bad stolen
horse and was watching for an opening
10 steal another"
BiIked by his own delegates, he be-
gan TO rave and swear and rant because
they would not make him Senator.
He then made his boast that the editor
Of this paper should not receive the
election. Actuatcd by jealousy entirely,
he, with tho Simpsons, began that dis
graceful action at Lindsborg and caused
the Mcpherson delegates to bolt. Nc
Clintck and the two Simpsons thus hoist
upon the people Of Mcpherson county a
boiling candidate. Had it not been for
these three lowest Of low demagogues,
the Lindsborg convention would have
been harmonious in every respect.
McClintick cannot muster the requisite
amount of ability to write concerning
the convention and the regular candi-
date, and calls in his "boss," N. z.
Simpson, to compliment NJ. d. Samp
son with such delightful arpelatlcns
as "shystcr," rascal" etc. A beautiful
spectacle, to see McCIintick, 7. +. Simp-
son and NJ. p. Simpson calling people
''shysters," rascals," etc. McClintick,a
low down assassin Of character one
who has attacked all the good men Of
county in the ioalest man
ncr, at some time or another, not ex-
,epting John Richey, the boiling cand-
late for State Senator. L. L. Simpson,
hat great railroad projcctor-who builds
| railroad somewhere every time he is
candidate; who prays ono evening ,
md gets drunk the next; who has not ,
IN honest hair in his head, and never
lid an honest deed since h first drew
breath. NJ. p. Simpson, conceited,
Try humbug, who has tools all around
lin, like McClintick, to do his dirty and !,
amnabe work. These three specimens :
# Sublime craftsmanship" are the de- |
ectable THO who call the regular nomi. =
zee for State Senator "shyster," "ras- v
al, etc. In every sSind'o perpetrated
n Mcpherson county since Its organi- :,
alton, the names of these three men are $
lore or less intimately connected; and
ow they shield themselves behind the G
haracter of John Richcy to spit ;
heir venom at every body who will not n
hey their behests. The question now {,
can John Richey afford to be the tool b
f this dirty ring? Is
