PERSONAL
TO a Unaffected Republican


DEAR SIR-Your note at hand and
questions noted. In reply would say,
first: A vote for your personal friend,
il opposed to the regular nominee may
elect your friend. At the same time il
defeats your party, gives the same excuse
to others to do likewise in future years
and adds to the disorganization of the
party whose principles you favor and
whose organization you claim to be in
favor of. More, it is heralded rs an oppO-
.sition victory from one end of the c,unty
to the other, encourages the opposition
and discourages all members Of your
own party.
You claim to be in favor of organize,
lion, but believe you have the right to
scratch" in favor of personal prefer
ence. If admitted, all Others have the
same right. hence party organization
ends and with it dies the party whuse
principles you profess to believe in. Even
- majority in the election is monarch
before whom all good citizens bow so in
party we beiieys that fair majority is
monarch to whom you and all other
members Of that party should submit
10 conclusion. permit US to urge hearty
support OF the entire ticket even Is in
other years you have urged Il and as in
future years you may ask it. Demoral.
tzation does not stop with the present,
but extends to the future. Can you
consistently aid in that disqualification I?

laundering NO.

DISTRICT JUDGE.
JUDGE TALCOLT.

From the Kates Center Ne,cs, Oct. 23d.
1t is customary to honor faithful.
efficient officer with at least second
term. This is the rule with all political
parties. We are speaking of officers
whose duties are simply ministerial or
clerical. In Judicial offices we are in
favor Of even longer leases. Unless for
good and sufficient reason We do not be
lieve in making frequent changes on the
bench; it is detrimental to the interests
of justice to do so. Without going into
any lengthy argument as to our reasons,
we will merely say that we are firmly
convinced of the correctness of our posi-
ton. If H. w. Talcott has filled the
Office of Judge of this district. during
the term for which he was elected, in an
honorable, dignified and competant man
ner, he should at least be hOnored with
a second term. If any good and suffi-
cient cause can he shown for dropping
him and taking up an untried man, let
it be done. II he Is to be dropped, we
know of no man in the district whom we
would more readily support Tor the posi-
ton than Mr.. L. w. Keplinger. But we
do not believe there is any good reason
for throwing aside tried and worthy
Judge merely to crafty some other mau's
ambition, no matter how honorable that
ambition may be. We believe Mr.. Tai,
colt to be an honorable man and capa
ole. conscientious Judge, and We are
heartily in favor of his re election. And,
what is more, HE WILL BE REELECTED

- Goodin questions his political faith il
enough TO satisfy all Republicans that
Sims is "stalwart" enough. The Repub

litical beliefs as some one did iu
the Democratic convention about HOdg-

of Slavens, and the latter gentleman
will tell any one 80. And while it is
true that J. g. Murray supports Sims, it
is also true that large number Of the
straight Democratic brethren will do so.
They would rather be consistent and
true enough to their party to rebuke
the ''Great Boom" who stated that
HOdgson authorized him to make his
speech for him and place him squarely
upon the Democratic platfOrm-when in
fact he did nothing of the kind. John

state, and in an editorial upon ~ ''yudicial''
question there Wa written these words: "His
(Keplinger's) rare abilities and eminent fitness
for the bench are strongly in his favor even
among those who speak kindly Of Judge Tai
colts cleverness and his agreeable social quail
ities," The writer Of that editorial unquestion-
ably sought by inuendo to compare Judge Tai
colts ''s0cisl'' qualities and ''clsvsrpess'' 70
Mr.. Keplinger's 'sabilities' and 'seminent 1T
ness" and to insinuAte that the comparison could
he carried no further. Such comparison Is in
vidi0us! From the standpoint occupied by the
writer Of this communication-in the ranks and
down amongst the peOple-we cannot see how
the Interstate can afford to make such reckless
and extravsgsnt statements. If, instead OfJu ige
Talcott with his splendid legal sttainments-his
experience As judge, together with his fine nat
ural qualifications, there stood one Of small legal
stature-without experience and whom nature
might have seemed to despse, we could then reas-
onaLly expect such bold language. l. am quite GER
tain that the sentiment expressed, in the manner
aforesaid. Is not the sentiment of the voters OF
this community, or Of the county or the 9Th Judi
cisl District, and for one, 1t least, desire public
ly to record protest against it.-''Fairpiay" in
Humboldt Interstate.
Several Of the papers in the District
have also M de very favorable mention
of Judge Talcott. The Headlight says
the people ''are fully satisfied Of his hon
esty aud ability" The Yates Center
Nens and lola Register also speak very
highly of him, aud Of his favorable pros
poets for success. He certainly stands
we'll among the people, and will receive
large vote.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Vote for TalcOtt
THE LAST WORD,

Admitting only for the sake of the
argument that Mr.. KepliDger is good
lawyer to-day as Judge Talcott, what is
gained by putting a new man into an
Office who may or who may not do as
well as the present incumbent. One ia
an official who simply asks customary
endorsement of term of official life that
every fair man admits has been a success.
Personally we have no animosity against
Mr.. Keplinger, but we do claim in all
soberness and good faith that the defea,
of Judge Talcott simply to CRAFTY an.
other mans even laudable ambition,
would be a terrible mistake on the part
of the people Think the matter over
carefully and see if you can Oxford to
vote against an excellent officer for the
reasons advanced by the few supporters
of Mr.. Keplinger.

1t is an admitted fact that political
principles can only be enforced and sus-
tanned by organized parties. The more
important the principle contended for
the greater the necessity for the thor.
ough organization of the party contend.
ing for that principle. The late utter
ances of the leaders of the Democratic
party, and their conduct in Congress,
thoroughly aroused the Republicans ev-
erywhere, so that the most conservative
OF them may justly be called ''stalwarts."
10 order that this unity of feeling and of
purpose be maintained in the Republi.
can party for the campaign of 1880. it is
important that the Republicans keep up
their local organization by working for
the success Of the nominees of their
party. In Allen county let % do our
part Of the work, and elect our entire
ticket by an increased majority.

BRAVADO.

There is species of cheek which is
sometimes almost admirable. 1t is not
that sort which bears the impress of its
character on the surface, which is most
calculated to deceive, but rather that
which has the appearance Of genuineness.
No sooner had Mr.. Keplinger
announced himself as candidate for
Judge than some of his friends and most
active workers began to SOW. broad. cast
over the District, the report that the
press and the lawyers were call for Kep."
From the courageousness with which
these statements were iterated and re.
iterxted, we began to wonder if such a
thing could be possible. We we're there
fore led to Investigate the matter. We
had but to await the comments of the
different papers in the District in which
his announcement appeared to learn
that it was mistake as to the press, aud
2 little inquiry soon put to flight all
doubts as to the lawyers, and we found
that they were just-the other way. A
demonstration of the fact reveals that
the majority of the practicing lawyers
of the District are warm supporters and
admirers of Judge Talcott. And yet,
whilst this is worth s great deal to Judge
Talcott, and ought to be feather in his
cap, we are by no means sure of the fact
that the lawyers are one way or the
other, should determine the choice of
the people. The people some how, find
out quite as soon as the lawyers, or the
press, who makes good judge. And
we fancy that the effort to "bluff" the
friends of Judge Talcott. and the Dis.
trict generally, by reporting in the out
set that all the lawyers and the press
were for Mr.. Keplinger, will prove pre-
mature and miscarriage on next Tues.
day.

in regard to Judge Talcott:
JUDGE TALCOLT.
We understand that Jud &c Talcott's
time~between this and election day will
be largely occupied by the Woodson
county Court and other official duties.
And that his attention TO such judicial
duties will prevent him from visiting
various portions of the the District as
often rs he would probably like to 90 in
the race for the Judgeship. However,
he need have no fears down this way.
He is almost as we'll known to the people
of this portion uf the district as he is at
home, and they are fully satisfied of his
honesty and ability, As we'll as the man.
ner in which he has conducted his courts.
From all we can learn we are fully
assured that he will receive Ia rye and
substantial majority in the district.
