The Farmer Boom

Is increasing in size every day, and
there IS little doubt that Mr.. Farmer will
be elected Judge Of this district by large
majority. John Q. will wear well. His
opponents have been only political oppo-
nents-ambitious politicians. Now, that
he is the nominee, they are free to admit
that Farmer is we'll fitted for the position
of Judge, and that nothing can truthfully
be said against his private or public life
and character. Page CLAIMS Houston and
Frechorn counties. 1t does not now look
as though he could carry either of them.
The Hokah (Houston county, Herald
says Farmer has hosts of friends in that
vicinity who are rallying to his support.

and strongly Republican. Charles Kit.

Page Economy.

Within six months after s. Page first
came TO Austin, lie discovered and an
nounced to the people of Mower county,
that the county officials of the county and
their partisan friends, constituted 'cor-
rupt ring" and that they had robbed and
plundcrcd the people as public officials.
This announcement boldly made, and
published IN an irresponsible sheet, from
week to week, raised suspicion in the
minds Of many persons that the county
officials might be corrupt The then
county officers were, Sylvester Smith,
Treasurer; s. Snow, Register; II. NJ.
Allen, Auditor; c.. j. Short, County At
torney; and u. B. johnson, Jr., Repre-
sentative. Some of these men had been
in Office some time, and all were respected,
and believed to be honorable men, by
both Republicans and Democrats. Page
accused 8. Smith, treasurer, of Stealing
from the people $4,000. He accused
Snow of embezzling county funds and
had him arrested. He declared, in his
blanGest manner, that he did not accuse
them through any selfish motive. lie
disllked politics. He had no political
aspirations. 1t panied him to be- COM
PEELED to make these accusations, but it
was high public duty to perform, and
he did it for the public good, rcgretting
that so painful duty fell to his lot.
Page organized rarty against these
men whom he styled public thieves and
"vile criminals" and sought, in the en-
suing election, to carry the Republican
county convention, but failing in this, he
and his followers boiled the convention
and ran ticket Of their own, and were
defeated. Still pers,sting in the cry OF
corruption, and raising suspicion in the
minds Of the Scandinavians Of the county
and Offering to one of their number the
Office of County Treasurer, Page succeed
ed in clecting a county ticket, composed
of his friends, with the exception Of
Sheriff: He had succeeded under the cry
of "thief:" HIS followers, most of them
believed Smith had robbed the county
He had branded Smith as criminal. HI
was willing to blacken his character and
ruin him financially. To this end suit
was brought against Smith and his bonds
men for $41, 900. and All attempt made tc
indict him for criminal misconduct.
The following are the items of expense
paid by Mower county to prosecute ar
innocent, honest man, at the instigation O.

Smiths family consisted of himself,
wife and son. They were economical, and
his expenses were light. He was worth
four to five thousand dollars when elected
treasurer, and held the Office eight years.
he bought real estate at a low figure, and
made q part of what he had when he
died, on the increased value of the real
estate he handled. The fact is, that all

The above shows the amount paid by
the county in the civil action against
Smith, but does not show the amount ex-
pended in the attempted criminal pro-
ceeding against him. 1t cost Smith to
defend himself against these prosecutions
about $4,000. Many persons who were
not acquainted with Smith, in this and
adjacent counties, believed that he was
defaulter, and that he embeZzled $41 900
of public funds, but his friends and
neighbors, who knew what he had, as
we'll as one neighbor knows another's
circumstances, did not have the least
doubt of Smiths integrity, nor believed
that he had embezzled even one cent of
public money, and they were correct.
After having been harrassed, prosecuted
and illuminated as public robber, for
seven years, by this human vampire, he
died.
When a man dies his administrator
makes an inventory of his estate, which
shows what he was worth. The follow
ing is copy of the inventory OF Sylvester
Smiths estate as made by w. T. Wilkins,
executor, and appraised by John F. Cook
and J. B. Yates:
