Last week we mentioned the pee. liar in
terest the Orner-A IcNe:ll-C resset crowil took
in Judge Peters when he appeared here
TO speak. 1t is well known here that this
same set were enthusiastic in support of
Booth and against Peters in the contest for
the congressional nominations last summer.
The incentive was this: Booth was expect
ed to give one of the number lit is supposed
the one so we'll versed in legislative mat
ters) the position of Register of the Larned
land office, and the Cresset would then be
the organ for publishing the land notices.
So certain were they that Dir. Booth would
be- successful that they commenced to get
ND evidence to be used against Mr.. Morris,
the present register, by bringing sI'it for
money alleged to be due by him to the
Cresset. Slckcloth and ashes are now worn

expected 10 be satisfied with the reception
the Cresset folks gave him, though they did
neglect to write up his speech at any great
length

Have You Heard from 0hios

II not we will tell you. At the election
last Tuesday the old state wheeled into line
and went Democratic by at least twenty-five
thousand majority, elected fifteen out of
twenty congressman and will keep up the
good work.
The Germans are charged with causing
the result. They won't swallow prohi-
bition.
West Virginia also went Democratic as
WAS expected.
In New York and Pennsylvania the Re-
piblicans are badly demoralized and these
states will also go Democratic this year.

There is disposition among the Repub-
licans of this state to point with pride to
that plank in their platform which puts the
party against unjust determinations on the
part of railroads I'm the matter of freights
and fares. At the last session of the legis-
lature the present Democratic candidate for
governor, Hon. Geo. w. Click, made an
effort to have this very question inquired
into, and to that end introduced House Bill
No. 116, entitled "An act providing for Il
commission to examine into and report on
a just and fair rate of fares and freights,
and to prohibit unjust determinations -
The committee on Railroads (ard by the
way, the member from this county was a
member of the committee) loaded the bill
down with amendments enough to render
1t useless, even if enacted, and then report
ed it back to the house. Mr.. Click then
made an effort to perfect the bill that it
If once law it could accomplish the work
for which it was designed. In this he met
with considerable opposition, and even the
member from Barbour voted against the
amendment right along. Just before, he
had favored allowing two other members
to assist in killing it with amendments.
Clicks amendment was adopted, and then
1t was the gentleman from Barbour showed
what he really wanted done with the bill
by moving that it be Indefinitely postponed.
He had following of % who favored the
motion while 81 were i'm favor of examin-
ing into the matter of determinations by
the railroad complnies-these would not
allow the bill disposed of in such an ab.
rupt manner. To indefinitely postpone WAT
to kill the bill, and that appears to be what
Mr.. Orner wanted. IL was clearly move
in the interest of railroads and against the
interest of the people.
The bill was passed by the house by a
vote of este 20. Here Mr.. Orner appeared
in the attitude he has so often been seen in
at home, He saw that he was OH the losing
side, and with one of his hearty laughs. in
a Twas y-joking-tone he annoi need his
extreme love and admiration for the meas
ureand proceeded to vote for the bill. This
he considered made him even on the bad
break he made in opposing the measure in
the first place.
What about consistency and jewel?
The senate did not pass the Click bill and
consequently thereha been no effort to oct
at facts concerning railroad discrimination.
B ncombe platforms don't get ut the true
inwardness of any wrong, but a commits.
sion as contemplated by Col. Click could
have furnished the coming legislature with
valuable statistics on this important subject.
If there Is any doubt about our inrorma.
ton being correct in this matter we Gun
show the Official record.

One of the arguments Mr.. Orneris using
for his own denomination and election is
that he sec ired the enactment of the apend-
ment to the revenue law which taxes all
stock driven into the county prior to the
first day of December, for the purpose of
grazing the same as if the owner resided
in the county the first of March preceding.
The law is a good one for the counties and
had Mr.. Orner been the author of the bill
he might with better grace claim the credit
due its author. The bill which passed was
known as Senate Bill No. 6, and was intro
duced by Senator Sluss the very day Mr..
Orner introduced bill on the SINE subject
The Orner bill was laid over informally as
soon as the the House had an opportunity
of acting on the senate bill. which is the
law as it now stands. The House journal,
page 473, shows this to be a fact That
same Journal also tells about how Mr. Or
ner hid some other legislative experience
which he has not been claiming credit for
down here. 1t is referred to in this issue.
