The Red Cloud chief., 1881-12-01

The editor of the Argus places HIM
self in rather q peculiar and unenvia-
BILE light by his comments on the
election, in last weeks paper. The
last political campaign was the most
holly contested of any since the
county was organized, and the fight
was between the regular republican
nominees, and boilers from the re-
publican party, and yet the immacu-
late old bourbon democrat who edits
the Argus and who claims to be a re-
publican, and to publish a republican
paper, freely admits that he took
very little part in the fight" Rather
a peculiar stand for a republican edi-
tor to take. He also publishes what
he knows to be a falsehood and what
every reader of the CHEF knows to
be false when he saysSthat the CHIEF
editor "retracted everything that he
had said of Mr.. Tulleys and warmly
commended him as a citizen of the
most perfect type" The CHIEF edi-
tors reputation for veracity is too
dear to him to admit of any such re-
marks in regard to either Mr.. Tulleys
or Mr.. Kenney.
The editor Of the Argus admits that
Mr.. Bayha, the republican nominee
for county clerk was a man of spot
less integrity and in every way quail
fed to fill the Office" and yet ne, 1.-THE
editor of the Argus) "took very little
part in the fight" Now if he will
explain to the people of the county
why he, the editor of an alleged repub-
lican newspaper, "took very little
part in the fight" when the republic
can nominee was "a man of spotless
integrity and in every way qualified
to fill the office" he will confer a
favor upon his few readers, who are
anxious to know whether the last in
stallment of the $500, the price of Mr..
Kenney's influence" has been paid,
or whether ]. A. Tulleys and the ire
putable citizens" had promised him
another $500 to keep quiet and "take
very little part in the fight" when the
republican nominee was q man OF
"spotless integrity &C." and Mr..
Kennsy is supposed to be publishing
a republican paper' The public is
anxiously waiting to be enlightened
on this subject. The facts are that
the editor of the Argus secretly worked
for the boilers and voted for them
while publicly protesting to support
the republican ticket. We car respeU:
o maj who openly avowed his prefer
ence for the independent candidate,
but we hold in utter contempt the
villaonous sneak and liar who, while
protesting to edit a republican paper
and support the republican nominees,
secretly works and votes against them
and for the other party as A. J. Ken
ney did at the last election.
We deem it very ungratefuI in the
Argus editor, to tea open the political
graves of j. A. Tulleys and others o.
the Independents who went down tc
oblivion with him at the last election
especially after receiving $500 Of
their money! and force q discussion
of the matter at this time. The CHIEF
advised the burying of the Ratchet
even though the handle be allowed Il
stick out for We all all know that it j.
entirely useless to keep up . newspa
per controversy on the subject. Ths
people all know that if the CHIEF ha,
he'd about Mr.. Halleys, or any on,
else they have their redress in tn,
courts. and they further know that Al
investigation of the records in TIT
clerks Office and the finding of every
thing straight is-the only thing tia
will ever convice them that the CHE
has not been on the right trail. II
! conclusion We would suggest tina, tn
way Is open for the reputable Cit
zens" to vindicate themselves, viz: B,
demanding a. Thorough investigations
, by expertz, Of the county records
Dare Hey do Z. Let them demand j
or let thens and their contemptibl
mouth-piece q the lower end Of town
forever hold Their. peace
