The racket of the hammer and the
saw still keeps up in Clifton.
DO one thing r,ght-votc for the
county seat to remain at Clifton.
Rev. G.. T. Black and family, of

After the convention, Tuesday, the
Fairbank and Clifton boys repaired to
the diamond and indulged in
game of base ball, at which Fairbank
proved the victor by score of 26 to 8.
None of our staff being present we are
not prepared to criticize the game.
The cry Of ring" trying to run
the politics of Sully county has taken
on new version since the convention
of Tuesday, at which Fairbank came in
and dictated the whole business, nom
mating one new man from the east part
of the county and 0 from the west,
and, with Endorsement OF the Republi-
can nominees, only giving the east end
places on their ticket to l3 in the
west part of the county. Down with
+" ring politics, say we, and vote the
straight Republican ticket
At the peoples cor vention, Tues
day, such little pleasantries as Il don't
want any back-talk from that man,
I" That fellow ought to be nominated for
justice as he is good judge of whisky"
:" Is this ring convention or q con-
vention of the people" He wants
men nominated from the east end of
the county to help Fairbank out on its
county seat scheme" &c, were indul-
ged in. The show was equal to first
class circus and a menagerie thrown
in, all for one price of admission
Though it had been howled about
for weeks, the great uprising which was
to take place at the peoples convention
last Tuesday failed t6 pan out. For
the two nominations which were made
by ballot--register of deeds, IL votes,
and probate judge, II votes--the larg-
est only showed up 0 more votes than
the Republicans polled upon basis of
one delegate to 90 voters. This would
only be one out of Is of the voters of
the county, and we know that mum
Der who participated will vote the
straight Republican ticket though they
took part in the convention for person
al motives.
BE not influenced to vote for any
other place than Clifton for the county
seat of Sully county because of prom
ises of what will be done in the way of
gifts to the county in land or money,
for no other place than Clifton has
placed cent where it will benefit the
people by tightening taxation. Prom
ises have been made, but, should the
desired object be attained, not a cent
can be collected by law. No deed in
trust has been deposited and no bond
given to fulfill promise of any kind
or give cent Not so with Clifton.
She has made the county the owner of
22 fine lots in the heart of the village,
a court house building and the use of
the same for Is months past. The
deed to this proparty is on record, open
