The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1878-02-14

How IT STANDS For the information and
qualification of the Bsilefia, we have taken the
tronI,Ie to figure semewhat on onr subscription
list W. have ON the lis, 1881 nainr> that are
sent TO most offices in Doniphan County. Out OF
thes. 1921, there are jnst l63 Demccrats In
this cnunt, have included number whose
politics We have been unable tn ascertain, giving
all doubiful ones as Democrats, aud thereby,
very likely, making the connt larger than 1t
should he. We are as thankful to Democrats for
patronage As to any sther persons. They all
know our politics. and have never been deceived
into taking the Chicf. We have never begged upa
list of subscribers by pretending to advocate the
principles of certain party, and then suddenly
turned the tables npon them, and begged from the
other party, by pretending to advocate their prn-
cipIrs A large number of these Democratic sub
scriLers will remain on our list even if the Baefin
should hammer away at them forever. ihere
are Others Of them, no doubt, who can be infiu-
enced by the constant entreaties OF the Baiiefh
and IFS agents. For every Democrat who stops
the Chief on this account, the loss will be made
up by new Republican subscriber. Thus far, the
loss has more than been made mp, as we have q
larger list now than when the Bulletin was
started. We make this statement, from the fact
that the readers of the BslLefia would he led to
believe that the Chief is actually kept mp by
Democratic support; that we had somehow
wronged our Democratic subscribers by support
ing Republican principles, as they knew we did,
when they subscribed; whereas, on the other
hand, it was the Bulletin that got list OF Re-
publican Subscribers under false pretences, then
deliberately slapped them in the face, telling
them that they belonged to set of corrupt
sconndrels, and calling upon Democrats to rally
and help it to put them under foot.
~ The Bulletin says that it has frequently
been told that its charges for advertising were
| only about half the prices charged by the Chief.
| Yes, aud an inch of matter in the Chief makes
as much as two inches in the Bulletin, and an
advertisement the Chief reaches three times
as many persons as one in the Bulletin. Besides,
| you had better take down your advertising rates
from the head of your paper, if they are not in
| tended to mean anything. If man will stand
a big charge, you sock it to him but if he OBJ
| iects, You take what he is willing tn give.
II Here is recent decision by Attorney Gen.
eral Davis, which may interest Justices of the
Peace elected last FALL Changing the time of
election did not change the time of entering np-
OH official duties:
| Attorney-Gcneral Willard Davis has decided that
Justices Of the Peace elected in November 1871 can
not legally take their seats until the first Tuesday in
April 1873. unless the incumbents choose to resign,
| or were appointed to fill a vacancy.
| rS- The President has pardoned the notorious
Eph. Holland, the Cincinnati ballot stuffer,
who elected Banning over Stanley Matthews,

thews has gone back on Hayes masters, the
Eastern Money Ring, the President doesn't
think it was crime deserving punishment to
cheat him out of his election to Congress-.
| = The Bulletin has regular frcshet of salt
water, in its sympathy for the Taxpayers of the
County, because the Chief gets the printing
How much are you interested in the taxes ?
We paid S27532 taxes in Doniphan County, last
year. How much did you payi Did any man
who signed your begging petition pay within
500 of as muchi
| ~ Beecher delivered an address at tho recent
| Burns anniversary, in which he said til 1t Barns
is now chanting melodies in the realms of bliss,
and looking down upon the millions whom he
tried to succor and to help. And yet, Lut a
short time ago, Beecler said there would be no
| burns in the hereafter.
| r The Bulletin says it has been aware, for
months, that it would not get the County print
ing That's just what's the matter. Knowing
that it would not get the printing, it put in a
bid for less than it could legitimately afford to
do it, in order to get some capital to howl on.
Well, howl.
70 Things are working The sub-C Committee
on Finance in the House, in view Of the almost
certain prospect of the passage of the Silver bill
have prepared bill providing for the retire
ment of National Bank notes, and the substitu-
tion of Treasury notes, or Greenbacks in their
stead.
u We think We shall make the Chief "con-
servative Democratic" paper, about the fourth
of March, if the Democrats of Doniphan County
will call County Convention to meet the 22d
of February, to denounce those fellows who
skipped out" without paying for their papers.
II There is now vacancy in the Office OF
Pope. Why not choose an American as his sue
cessori We nominate the editor of the Troy
Bulletin. He is . thorough believer in his own
infallIbility. Call Democratic County Conven-
| tiou, and recommend him for the place.
e Said an old subscriber, few days ago,
when renewing his subscription to the Chief: 81
am an old-time Democrat, but want to read the
Chief. l consider the Bulletin fraud Call a
County Convention, and read him ont of the
party!

Ouray, in the San Juan country. He was ''fred
