thought from the voters Of the county,
showing ss it does that he is not seek
or after political favors, nor the emolu-
ments OF Office.
A few reasons Why We believe Mr..
Pickens should not be elected commits
sioner. LIST. He is resident Of Drift
wood precinct, which has had commits
sioner for more than ten years continu-
ously. He was placed in nomination
for this Office by the Republicans, three
years ago, and elected. This year, the
Republicans in convention conceding
the Office to another precinct, did not
place him on their ticket Mr. Pickens
himself virtually conceded this precinct
the commissioner, saying he was not
candidate for reelection; but asking
the support of this precinct for Treas
urer, which was cordially given him for
that Office, as Is well known, cast our
ten votes for him each and every time
until the nomination was made.
All these things being facts, it seems
hardly fair or consistent for Mr. Pick
ems to bolt the convention and espec-
tally to accept at the hands of another
convention and party the nomination
for commissioner, the only Office sought
by our delegates, which was conceded
US by the convention.

THE TRIBUNE has not seen proper Ia
take an active part in politics, this fall,
nor to identify itself with either Of the
tickets seeking the suffrage of thevo,ers
Of Red Willow county, because the edi-
tor had not been in the county sufii-
GENTLY long to become familiar with the
needs of the county, and the characters
and qualifications Of the candidates. He
considered that the intelligent property
owners and taxpayers of the county
could make;a more judicious selection
than could he--a stranger. He ap-
prised the candidates with whom it was
his pleasure to meet, of his position,
and while stating that he would not per-
sonall y say anything either in favor or
in opposition to their candidacy, the
columns of THE TRIBUNE would be
open for any honorable use which they
or their friends, might desire to make
When the representatives of the people,
men Of character, ability and intelli
geLce, met at different times, and in
opposing conventions, nominated two
distinct tickets that received the appro-
baton of the friends of both sides,
he felt assured that from the two tick
cts regularly nominated, the voters
would elect officers that would be salts
factory to the majority, and who would
strive to administer the affairs of the
county to the satisfaction Of all. But
when new ticket appears in the field,
nominated by a convention of one that
met without call or authority, and in
its superior ability and wisdom, ignored
the work of the former conventions,
and formulated new ticket, silence
is no longer golden. THE TICKET!
What tribute to the brains of the
eountys representative men! What
colossal monument to Dodesty(?).
Every voter in the county has the
right to vote for whom he leases 1t is
but proper that he should exercise that
rlght. # he desires to vote for the
gentlemen on the revised ticket. let him
do so, but let him take either Repub-
lican or Peoples ticket, and make the
alteration he desires, and not soil his
fingers by handling ticket that is an
auxiliary tn the Zone man power, and
There will be but few
persons handling the revised tickets on
election day, and the few that will han
die them will be sore-headed kickers,
who will be found in dark alleys and
secret places. 1t is to be hoped that
not a single candidate on either of the
regular tickets will touch this ticket
'or the one who does, and it is hard to
believe humanity would be so depravcd,
would be traitor to the trust reposed
n him by his friends, and should be
Stunned by every honest man in the
community. Candidates stand by your
ticket, and sink or swim with it!

Communicated.

To the Voters of Red Willow County:
A few of the many reasons why we
believe DR.. Green should be elected
county commissioner from this district:
The district is comprised of the pre-
cincts of Willow Grove, Driftwood and
Red Willow. Willow Grove precinct
is much the larger of these, and con-
.tains more people and property than
both the other precincts combined, and
is as large, and is increasing in popu
lation and property more rapidly than
any precinct in the county. Now, this
precinct has never yet had commits
sioner, while Driftwood has had three,
who have held the off e more than ten
years, and Red Willow has had one
commissioner for three years, For
these geographical reasons alone it ap-
pears to US that this precinct is entitled
to the office for the ensuing term. The
Republican convention so believing, con-
ceded us the Office. and DIR. Green, who
was the choice of a large majority of
the delegates from this commissioner
district, was nominated to fill it. He
is the regularly nominated candidate for
the Office He is the choice of the dis
trict and will undoubtedly receive a
very large majority of all the votes cast
in this district.
He is.a resident of the precinct which
is beyond question, entitled to the Office.
He is man whom we know, and whom
we can trust. He is a careful, sober
and competent business man; and, if
elected, will bring to his aid, in the dis
charge of his official duty, careful, an
earnest, and a well balanced mind.
Then, again, he has not sought the
Office, but it the man. And it was only
after much solicitation On the part of
our people that he consented to be-
come candidate under any circum-
stances; and for the last named reason
alone We think be merits a favorable

From tie Secretary Of the County
Central Committee.
To the Voters of BED Willow County:

TO the Voters of Bed Willow County:
Permit me to call your attention to
the political situa 'ion as it appears from
the reports received from the various
precincts of Red Willow county, from
day to day and time to time since the
primaries were held.
! Scarcely any strife occurred in nearly
all the precincts at the primaries. The
convention was harmonious from be-
ginning to end. A ticket was placed
in nomination that was generally con-
coded by the majority of all parties,
would give as good satisfaction as any
that could have been made; ia fact was
considered very strong ticket D M
ocrats said, | can support nearly all of
that ticket Greenbackers said, Nearly
all Of that ticket suits me. So it was
generally thought the opposition to the
ticket nominated by the Republican
Convention would not De strong or Uni
ted. This brings US to the subject of
opposition, in the shape of what was
called Peoples Convention, held at
Indianola, at which the people were
represented not by vote of each and
every precinct, through regularly elected
delegates; but, by several men who,
having failed in finding others, and who
were much intereS ted, in their anxiety
for Office. stirred up few men in sew
eral precincts, and got themselves en-
dorsed, not by men representing all the
precincts of Red Willow county, but by
men who to considerable extent openly
stated after their convention adjourned,
81 was only working for one man in
that convention, the rest | do not care
anything about, but that one man l
shall work for" And such is the case.
Every man who was nominated in that
convention is talking for himself, and
letting the other candidates on the tick
ct do the same. If he talks up his whole
ticket he knows he will be covered up
Sc deep on election day that he cant
hope to dig out for so long that he will
be glad to forget that an election for
County Officers was ever held in Red
Willow county, on the 9th day of No
vember, 1888.
He wants office so very mach that he
is bolser of everything that does not
put him in office, if he is out; and boil
ter of everything, if he is not kept in.
He is a good republican when he can
get Office from them. He is good
Democrat, sometimes, not always, and
he is above all things, anything and
everything, and good deal of the time
nothing, to get office These matters
are common talk. While they work
hard for one candidate, they openly say
they don care anything about the rest,
which no doubt is very encouraging to
the rest Of their ticket
Voters Do not let men who are so
extremely anxious for Office, as to al
most force themselves upon you, receive
your support Stand by the men you
know Will not drift like straw, which
ever way the wind blows! Vote the
straight Republican ticket by all means!
