Y A. Low was a candidate for the Rspubli

his failure, he and his whole connection openly
worked and voted for Symns. In 1864, when
Mr.. Low and his crowd were denouncing and
bull-dozing all men as rebels who did not belong
to his Union League and support Jim Lane, and
even charged that Bob Flickinger, just home

r Frank Brown had special Republican
ticket of his own in circulation on election day,
containing the straight Republican ticket, ex-
cept his own in place of Closes. In counting
the votes it was found that nearly every one of
these tickets in the box had Heatley's name
scratched of, and Armstrong; written on
showing that the men who handled them were
as anxious to beat Heatley as to elect Brown.
We think that Mr.. Brown will be convinced, by
little reflection, that if some of his most zeal.
ous supporters had devoted less time to revenge
fnl opposition to Heatley, and more to working
for Brown, his chances would have been much
improved

A BEAsr-Last weeks BHlleiis raised the cry
that we lad used the argument, against Mr..
Heeney that he was a Catholic, au,t had at
tempted to drfra; him because of his religion.
We have not mentioned Catholic or religion
during this campaign; and this ssssr tion OF the
Bxllefis was made for the purpose Of appealing
for Catholic votes for Heeney. 1t also raised
the old cry of "lnfdel' against ID. W. Brown.
This is a never failing resource of the Ba'leiia.
If it is an offence to oppose Mr.. Heeney because
of his religious views, is it is justifabie to op-
pose Mr.. Brown because of hist
But what we wish particularly to call atten-
tion to, is the Bslietia's beastly attack upon a
woman, for the purpose Of injuring Mr.. Brown
naming the woman several times in the article,
in order to represent Browns association with
her as public offence. Now, no matter what the
editors opinion Of the woman may be, and no
matter what the public thirk of .,er. this parsd-
ing of the name of defenceless woman in lis
columns, for the purpose Of holding up candi-
date for Office to pnblic disgrace, 10 simply beast
ly, and no one but Q cowardly brute would do it.
The beast who thinks this is . smart CT brave
act, because he has the power to do it, aud it
suits bis purpose, will beg and whine like pup
py for protection and support for himself and
his. His selfish soul cannot conceive that other
people may have feelings, - well a. hs. What
ever the reputation of a woman may be, and how
ever fallen she may have become, there is an in
stinct in the nature Of every person who pos
sesses feelings above that of beast, that rsvolts
at publicly insulting her. But anything better
could hardly be expected Of ono whose nightly
occupation is prowlng about the slums and
brush, in quest Of commerce with the most do
graded of that class.

II We told Squire Dixon that he was allow
ing himself to be sacrificed to accomplish the
personal revenge of enemies of Mr.. Selover, who
had always been his friend. The result prov es
that We were correct. The best thing all parties
can now do, is to heal up and forget these differ
ences, that have SO long existed, and all hereaf-
ter work together for the success of the whole
Republican ticket, and roll up such majorities
as they used to give. We presume that Mr..
Selover will not again be a candidate for Office,
but win be willing to put in his share of work
(and he is good worker) to aid the election of
any other man who shows disposition to con-
ciliate and forgive.

the Resu.t i'm This County.

The Republicans of Doniphan have cause for
rejoicing. They have stood ont against the
Greeuback mania which has demoralized and
crippled the Democratic party, and have p"lled
for the State ticket good, old fashioned major
itv. showing that the new issue has had no ef-
feet upon it, In addition TO this, they have cleo
ted their entire Legislative ticket, and their
whole County ticket, with the exception Of the
tail end-the Office of Couaty Superintendent of
PgbIic Instruction. Under the circumstances,
they have done glorioEsly. They have not only
had to contend against political opponents, but
men who have been honored by the party for
years, unwilling to give Others chance, have,
when failing to be re-nominsted, run in opposi-
tion to the regular ticket, and done their tmost
to defeat it. The friends of unsuccessful candi-
dates have sought revenge by attempting to de-
feat the party. II all would pursue the same
course, when defeated, there would soon be no
party to give them office. But the Republicans
of Doniphan County have withstood enemies
without and within, and have won signal vic
tory.
The day of election was splendid, and there
was q pretty full vote. We shall publish an Of
fetal list of returns next week, after the can
vass by the County Board, as We wish to have
it exact. We have not the full returns a { hand,
but the following msjorities which will be some-
thing approaching the official figures;
Kelley, Republican, for Representative Of
First District, ITO majority over Sesver, Demo
crat.
Kennedy, Republican, for Representative of
Second District, 13O majority over Symns, Dem
ocrat.
Selover, Republican, for Representative OF
Third District, g majority over Dixon, Inde-
pendent Republican.
Shulsky, County Commissioner for First Dis
trict, IS majority over Gilmore, Democrat and
Greenbacker.
Close, Republican, for Clerk of District Court,
600 majority over Kearney, Democrat
Probate Judge, very close. A few votes will
turn it either way.
Heatley, Republican, for County Attorney, $50
majority over Armstrong, Democrat.
Heeney, Democrat, for County Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction, 200 majority over
Brown, Republican.
The majorities are over the next highest op-
posing candidates. The Republican State tick
ct has about 700 majority.
The Greenback vote of the Couty, is about
800.
Later returns show that Wilkinson is elected
Probate Judge, by about 25 majority. He was
the nominee of the Democrats and Greenback-
ers, and also ran as an independent candidate.

Poor Old Rr,axes:

accompanied by its odor; whose support is al
most certain death to any man or cause. We

ing 80, we spoke only from experience, not from
the possession of any prophetic power. RsPub-
licans rrjoic-d when he fopped over to the De-
mocracy; for the Republicans had never achiev-
ed complete success, since he came into the
County. They felt that his conversion" to
Democracy was equivalent to the yellow fever
in their ranks. Behold the result the very first
election. The party is SO badly dercoraiized,
that their strongest holds have failed to support
the ticket.
Poor old shyster! He will fawn npon and
kick every man by turns, and 60 back on his
own plans soon they are laid. He will ex-
hort men to do = thing, and thea reprove them
fer doing it. His insircerity is so notorious,
that his own friends distrust him j; and tbosc
who dc the most for him, receive the hardest
kicks in return.
Poor old black mailer! He came with -four
ish that said be would sweep tho Chief out of
existence forthwith, and . boast that he would
make the politicians get down on their kuees to
him. This means that that he would hold all
aspirants for pablic favor in mortal dread of
him, and make them plank down their cash, and
lots Of it, for every smile and favor that they
got from him. But, alas, instead of their CON-
ing down to him, he was soon begging and
squealiug for bare pittsuce to keep his enor-
nous paunch filled, and enable him to keep his
machine moving. He defeats everything that
be favors, and poisons all that he touches. He
is SO effectually played out that men of his own
party apologize for his support Of them. In
stead Of fearing his displsasure, a. he antici-
pated, they all fear his favors. When he en-
braced the party, be found half the County off,
Gees, and some of the best ones, filled by Demo-
Gratis. After less than year Of his assistance,
not an Office in the County is held by Demo-
crat, save one of the most Insignificant.

e Another literary Democratic editor has
turnei up-this time, ont at Kirwin. He pub
fishes Byron's poem, commencing, "The day Of
my destiny's over" and says that Pope pro-
nounced it the most perfectly rhymsd poem in
the English language. Byron was born in the
year 1888; Pope died in l744, just A years be-
fore Byron was born. But this is no worse than
the blundsr committed by the old Saturday Eren-
ing Post, some years ago. 1t said that Gene
Wolfe, just before leading the assault upon Que
bee, rected the poem on the Burial of Sir John
Moore, and remarked that he would rather be
the author of that poem than be tho conqusror
of Quebec. Wolfe was killed in that assau 1t,
in 1859, while Sir John Moore was killed at Cor
unna, in Spain, in 1909, and must have been
buried after that event.

II A large proportion Of the Groouback tick
cts, in this precinct, contained Armstrong; .
name for County Attorney. Their anxiety to
beat the Republicans was SO great that they
"played Off on O'Driscoll. Now it is claimed
that if O'Driscoll had not been in the way, Arm
strong would havo been elected. On the con-
trary, We think that if O'Drisooll had boon out
of the way, it would have been to Heatiey's ad-
vantage; for large proportion of the Green.
back voters who could be Influenced in favor Of
Armstrong, voted for him, in place Of their own
candidate, while majority of those who refus-
ed to do so, would have voted for Heatley, had
there been no Greenback candidate.

q The Republicans of Doniphau County
have complained, with good reason, that men

of doors to help the ticket, until they are again
up for election. They have become tired Of
electing men to of1ce, who never try to help
the party, or other candidates. They had no
ground for that complaint, during the cam
psign just past. Bob Flickinger and Charley
Burkhalter did much effective work for tho tick.

and when at last they think somebody else il
entitled to something, try to beat the ticket.

An lMPRovEMENT.-Mrs Frances d. Gage, of
Ohio, relates that, in 1910, she and one or two
other ladies' resolved To 60 and hear Tom Corwin
speak. Some of the men pr otes.ed, saying that
Corwin said things not delicate for ladies' to
hear, and that if they went, his speech would be
ruined. She replied that che had several sons
who would be there, and she did not want them
to listen to anything not proper for her to hear
They went, and the result was, Corwin exerted
himself, and made one of the grsndest speeches
ever heard in the State. The thing took, and
from that time on, the ladies' participated in the
meetings, and the campaign was never equaIed
in enthusiasm. In this State, the present. year !,
the Republican State Central Committee started
the practice of inviting the ladies to their meet
ings. The result was, the ladies' formed con-
siderable number a. all the meetings, and became
interested in politics. The speeches were of q
better character than formerly, aud the soo ef-
feet is seen in the large majorites coming in for
the Republican ticket. We are decidedly in
favor of the ladies interesting themselves in
politics.

" Ed lioverson's conduct contrasts favor
ably beside that of other persuns who failed to

number of effective speeches, and did mneh
