job. By-by, Obby.
The people of this county will be
called upon next Tuesday to say
whether the Senatorial toga is hang
ing in the cloak-room of the Valley
Times.
ONE plank in Mr.. Braces platform
has disappeared and he has slipped
through. he "begs no man or class
of men for votes" etc.--Just mere
humorous sort of "here-am-I, end
me" exhortation. 1t was lonely at
titude, innocent and beguiling, but
manners change with times and ne
cessities. The brass buds which ap-
pearsd on the cheek two weeks ago are
full-blown roses now.
The Valley Times now insists that
Mr.. Oder cannot, if he would, favor an
elective mine inspector. Go slow, V.
T. Whom Mr.. Oder is "yanked out
of his boots" he will be there to see it
well done, "6guratively" or otherwise.
If the miners send Mr.. Brace to the
Legislature on the errand laid out
and he fails, (and fail he willy the
Homecoming newspaper Prince of the
Royal House of Stalwart will be
under bonds to resign further sup
posed keeping of the Senatorial tcga.
WE know men in No. IL who have
in our presence damned the bosses for
harsh treatment when there were no
elections around. Now, however,
some of the bosses, having selected
their candidate for the Senate and
impressed their choice upon the pop
ulace, these men, and others of whom
we have not heard, are mild az suck
ing doves, in obsequious Difference to
the mastery condescension pre-
vailing over there. Mr.. Brace will
gain some votes by this operation,
but not enough to overcome the I'M
tranmeled exodus from his camp
everywhere else. We will add, too,
that there are scores of men in No.
- who will not surrender their man
hood at the beck Of an extraordinary
demand upon their consciences, no
matter how near and dear the pet
idea advanced may be.
TIE paragraph below from the
Valley Times appears to have no
legal origin:
There is one plank, at least, in the
Greenbackers platform that we approve of
viz: Opposition to the corporation police
bill. By the way, the history OF this bill
illustrates somewhat the ADVANTAGE OF
having speaker to represent the county
in the Legislature. In 1878 this bill came
before the House after passing the Senate
Ar. McKaig and Mr.. Brace both made
speeches against it and exposed its dan
gerous tendency. The result was, it re
ceived II affirmative against So negative
votes.
Yes, vast neutrality-suspicious..
But how have you provided for the
advantage ?" Mr.. Turner thinks he
can speak Messrs. McAleer, Fatkin
and Hetzel make no pretensions in
this direction, and Mr.. Brace is noto-
riously deficient as an orator. The
difference between him and three Of
his legislative associates is-he at
tempts public speaking; they do not.
1t may be said, too, that ain 1878
the Fuller bill "came before the
House." "Mr. McKaig and Mr..
Brace both made speeches" in favor
of it; indeed, only one member was
opposed to ii and he defeated it, Isn't
thore little too much advantage"
sometimes in having orators to take
care of such precious interests as
were wrapped in the lurking folds"
of Mr.. Fuller's bill? We pass on:
1t the corporation police billy was
brought up again in 1880; there was no
watchful eye in the Legislature to see tho
snake, no tongue to expose its lurking
folds and it slipped through and became a
law.
Where was the Flintstone Demos
thenes2 We will tell you. He was
present, although the Valley Times
says "there was no watchful eye in
the Legislature to see the snake, no
tongue to expose its lurking folds and
it slipped through and became law"
Is that trus2 Let us see: The bill
passed the House April Sd. Mr..
Anthony voted mo" Why? An
thony had the "wstchtul eye" but
Turner had the bulge on him in
''tongue." What did Mr.. Turner do ?
He not only failed to "expose its
