The report has been originated and
industriously circulated by persons whose
aim it is to make political capital by decep'
ton, that the Democratic central COM
mittee appointed five men to place an in
dependent county ticket in the field, and
that therefore it is nothing more or less
than regularly nominated, straight-out
Democratic ticket. This report was circu-
lated in order to create wrong impression
in the minds of the voters who have, for
years gone by, been in the habit of voting
at county elections withou: any regard to
political parties. 1t is an erroneous re-
port. There is no truth in it. The Dem
ocratic central committee or
any other committee had not
the slightest influence in bringing an indie
pendent ticket before the people. For four
teen years the Democrats have refrained
from making nominations for county offices
and the Republicans have not done so for
eight years until this year Even in this
campaign, though having good reason to
hope for success, the Democrats sacrificed
party interests to those of the people of
the county, by protesting from the begin
nlng against partyism in county politics
wisely concluding that if the people were
left without any such encumbrances, they
could with greater freedom choose the
best men for the several offices. The gen.
tlemen running on the Independent ticket
against the Republican ticket come before
the people solely upon their merits. They
do not run as Democrats. They are not
even all outspoken Democrats. They stand
upon their own pins expecting no support
from any party or any particular class of
voters. They stand before the people of
the county, independent of any and all
political organizations, and they expect, and
ought to receive the vote of the PEOPLE
They have THE BULLETINS support not
because it is Democratic journal, nor be-
bause it believes them TO be Democrats.
but because they are running IN opposition
to the regularly nominated candidates of
the Republican party, If they were all
Out-spoken Republicans, they would yet re-
ceive our hearty support, because, firstly, they
are the only independent candidates in the
field, and because, secondly, we believe
hem to be the best men for the offices they
seek.
We had talk yesterday afternoon with
Mrs. Samuel Owens, into whose house the
oaded gas pipe was thrown yesterday
morning. She is Of the opinion that the
machine was intended for the destruction
VI her family and was not intended to In
ure Mr.. Martin GLADDEN., who occupies the
second story of the building, and who took
possession of it but a few months ago. We
inquired of her whether she had ever had a
difficulty or misunderstanding of any kind
With anybody in this city, to which she re-
,lied that about year ago she had caused
he arrest of Mrs. Clark, who is the wife
f colored blacksmith who occupies the
adjoining building. She had done this
rom necessity and not from choice, but
ince then Mrs. Clark and her husband
lad exhibited anything but friendly feel
ngs towards her. About Christmas. last
year, the family had lost little child, and
Mrs. Clark blamed her for the child's
ieath-saying that she Mrs. Ovens had
poisoned it. So firmly did Mrs. Clark be-
ieve this that she had the corpse taken to
DR.. Gordon for examination, and, although
the doctor gave it as his opinion that the
child had died natural death, Mrs. |
Clark, nevertheless, seems TO have ad-
hered to her former opinion. Besides this
there were those in the neighborhood
who had repeatedly threatened to
force her to vacate the house,
although the better element in the neigh
borhood desired her to remain. Some very
