The Ring organ stated last week that
the investigation Of county accounts
was not nearly complete, which seems to
have created distrust in the minds Of
many, that there may still be something
wrong, and that the particular anxiety
of the Ring to have men of their own
choice elected to take charge of the
books, arises from the fact that it is
desirable to keep something covered up.
Men who; get their nomination and
their election, through the especial eff;
forts: Of the Ring would be very likely
to spread the mantle of charity: over a
deficiency, in a careless way without
perhaps giving the matter a close ex-
animation. 1t will do no harm to have
4 change.. 't,.*:.sI assn Ill i a'sfz.sst,ll

1t may seem strange to some that
there are so many hotel arrivals at Wor-
thington. It must be remembered that
the travel to Lu Verne and Sioux Falls
is by the way Of Worthington, and as
the trains do not make close cOnnec-
tions, many are left there awaiting
trains and stages. But Worthington is
a wide awake place., though somewhat
|lindered at present, owing to local dis
sensions.-Sibley Postman.
Owing to the Ring and it's organ, you
should have said.

The Ring organ has refus,d from the
first to put up the regularly-nominated
Republican ticket, yet it claims to be
a Republican paper. The intention,
even before the convention, was to bolt
in case the Ring did not carry every
nomination. And bolt they did.
There is therefore but one question to
decide ''5ha1l the RING be overthrown,
or shall half the offices be still held by
Ring men?'' The issue is Ring and
Anti-Ring, the politicians VS.. the peo-
Dle.

We hear of men who do not intend

polls and vote. This is one of the most
important county elections we. shall
have for many years. If the ring are
thoroughly routed, Ringism in Mobiles
county is at al end. The office and job
hunters will have to change their tao
tics and will give up their Internal pur-
suit of men whom they cannot use to
help them get their hands into the coun-
ty Treasury.
The ring will have every one of their
men in battle line on election day and
every vote of theirs will be polled. Ii
the people are beaten it will he through
their own indifference.
