A Few Facts.

In reply to the crack of the Re.
publican party whip, and the man.
date that all Republicans should
vote the straight ticket, I would
remind my friends that two Of their
principal candidates, Billings aud
Phillips, were once "sore- heads"
and boilers; that instead Of bolt
ing and running on a Peoples ticket,
they accepted nominations on the
straight Democratic ticket; thst
eight years ago, while I was on the
straight Republican ticket for Coun.
ty Treasurer, l found Mr.. Crosby,
their present strong Republican
candklste for county Treasurer, on
tho Democratic ticket for the same
Office; ,hata great many Of the loud
est bawlers to vote the straight tick
Ut have been Que time and another,
i" boilers" and "sore.heads"; that
the great Transcript gun has al it,
life been bolter aud "yow-yowing."
IS Horny Miles would say, over every
ticket nominated by the Republic
cans. To my recollection this 10 the
first Republican ticket it has ever.
supported. and it appears very plain
to "a man up . tree" that its sup.
port now only comes from the ex-
pectstion that the Ring will give
it ." fat position. the land Of.
fee for instance. Vain hope. Won't
tho ring " set down" ON him hard,
when the time comes, and won't I
join 1.-THE ring" with my heavy
weight" and won't there be JOY when
it 10 accomplished?

SOME wiseacre takes advantage OF
the fact that the heading OF the Peo-
pies Ticket was accidently omitted
in last weeks STANDARD, and the
nominees Of that party appearing
under the same heading as the Terri
torial Democratic ticket, to accuse
US of The foolish intent 10 claim there
by some inexplicable party advan-
tace. The idea could have origin
ated only in a small brain, and would
be unworthy of notice except that 1t
was being used to whip in Republic
cans who have temporarily sundered
party ties. The ticket has appeared
correctly in every issue of the paper
during tho campaign, except this,
and would have been right that time
had We not used the type in the
heading to print ballots and neglect
ed to return it to the form.

is false. Mr.. Lee knows how false
this ia; every one knows, who vas
then in the country, that SO anxious
was to repienish the country with
cattle. tina. killed none till 1898.
and would sell none, because, as
told them, they would kill them,
and not allow them to increase; but

AS to kicking or striking the half

measure is the imperial meas..re.

some time ago with DR.. White, in

ured by an imperial copper half pint
measure (s-nt here TO, the purpos-),
in tbs presence of DR.. White, aud
though it was exactly the measure
with water, yet l find filled with
wheat it does not weigh 20 pounds,
and as our wheat is as good us any
l know, l infer that the measure is
smaller than it ought to be, which is
caused by the copper measure hav-
ing been Knocked q little on the
side, and is, therefore, smaller than
the size.
The truth is, when I wac first
asked the price of wheat, said q.
Cd, as l calculated the bushel to
weigh GO pounds. but finding. on
measuring it, that it weighed u
pounds, told them, without their
asking it, l would give them 81. per

when find who those are who have
cast these reflections on me, l shall

pect my integrity. As to the rs-
ports. if they sold their boards $40

that can easily prove it is not so,
and that o very large maj 'rity will

you the truth I am astonished that
there should be one person in the
country to gay such q thing of me.
As to the petition. considering the
