Payne ana the Republican Ticket

We are informed that ID. l.. Payne, the
leader oi tho Oklahoma colonists, is making
a strong effort TO defeat the Republican tick
ct in this county. He and his followers are
conveniently csunped in the southern por-
| ton of the county. at this, and il may be for
this purpose. We are also informed that
they have created some diSaflcction among
the Republicans IN some localities. Why
Republicans should be influenced hy him in
their votes we are unable to see. He is not
resident Of the county and j. actuated only
by desire to further the interests of small
number Of men off of whom he
makes his living. We have said that we do
not believe the government has dealt fairly
with Payne-that if he had violated any law
he ought 60 be punished; that the farce of
marching him to Fort Smith and then
marching him back again. was disgusting
the public and making friends i-.r HIM
While We said this we not believe that Mr.
Payne Is so important parsonage that he
should cut figure in our politics. His fight
is with the inferior department, and with
that alone, and it should be so treated by the
Republicans ofSummcr county. No Repub-
lican nor cItizcn Of any political faith ought

settle any portion of the Indian territory I'M

ted authorities of the government. Ger
tainly Republicans cannot afford to encour-

Dave PAYNE. Ii would undoubtedly be a
matter of satisfaction to Mr.. PAYNE and his
lieutenant, TO run the Republicans of SUM

simply a piece Of demagoguery. That

THE WICHITA FAIR.
What Our Special Reporter Has To
say Concerning il.


The Fifth Annual Fair. of the Arkansas
Nalley Agricultural Society at Wichita.
opened under favorable, auspices. The rain
OF Tuesday night laid the dust and cooled
the mir 20 comfortable degree.
There was fair attendance on Nednes-
day and on Thursday the crowd WAS inn
mense. The large amphitheatre presented
to the society by the business men of Nich-
ita. and holding 1000 persons, was filed to
overlooking with women and children.
There were probably 5000 persons on the
grounds. The displays in the different
classec were general good; OF agricultural
implements and machinery including wag-
ons and different kinds OF carriages ;here was
probably a larger and more varied colleo-
ion than ever before made at any county
fair in the state
A portable steamer was used to furnish
the power TO run the machinery now on cX-
hihition.
The business Of Wichita Was well repre-
scented by many beautiful displays OF hand
some and SNOWY goods.
The season in ,Iedgwiek has been favor
able for crops. consequently the agricultural
hall was well filed with samples of grains
fruits and vegetables. There were Cuban
Queen" waterInelons from fifty 90 seventy
i've pounds each. In the way Of fruits it
was interesting to observe the great number
of varieties exhibited, especially in apples.

II may be interesting to note that while

feature of it, fairs. went down under load
of debt that absorbed all the property. not
leaving a cent 10 the stockholders; this
granger fair, starting under difficulties aad

position. has from the start been successful

they be thought little set in their ways,
they know how 10 run fair and are usually
found at their posts.
Two pens of half bred Polled Angus

the attention of stackmen. The improve
ment was very marked. Every cali, in ad-
dition 10 being black and hornless, was also
well formed. and the contrast between the
cows and their calves was very great.-El-

PAYNE AT LARGE

Oklahoma PAYNE seems as reckless in his
regard FOG the truth a he i in his defiance
of the laws If the government. SANDERS
from such source hardly deserve notice.
In his speech here the other evening he
made slanderoUs charges against Major
Hood and Senator Plumb concerning cattle
interests. Payne claimed these gentlemen
had in the oklahoma country. In his state
meniS PAYNE boldly assumed ihst Major
Hood was in the audience, though evidently
knowing he was not. Major Hood stated
very positively, IN a conversation this morn
ing, tina; be has never had any cattle in the
Oklahoma country, nor within fifty miles Of
it. and that he also knows that Senator
Plumb has never hsd any cattle there.
In regard TO Payne's statement that il Is
impossible 10 carry even a letter through the
territory Of the Oklahoma country without

There is no question which concerns the
producer and consumer Of the nited States

The most cruel act of his life was to secure a
reduction in the Sandy Hook pilots charges

Sometimes il takes the entire freight of

producers and consumers will defeat Mr..

OHIO CORRUPTION

The editorial prepared by us day before
yesterday showing how Ohio was carried for
the opposition by the most unblemishing
methods Of corruption, is at the service OF
our evening cotempoary. We shall not use
il under the circum instances. Not that cor
ruption and the base use of money was not
rcsorted to III Ohio to carry the election by
the Democrats but the .tate having turned
up all right, we have concluded that guilty

NORTHERN STATES
SOUTHERN STATES.


The total number of votes in 1880 was
1863. The total number for 1881 is i0l,
majority of which is 20l. 1t will be seen
that out of the 3iS votes Of the northern
states, Republicans can spare IL and
still have the necessary majority TO elect,
not counting one vote from any southern
state, though their chances are even, to say
the least in four or five Of them. In West
Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee and Louisiana, Republicans are
reasonably sanguine of success. But lcav-
ing them all of the count. and admitting
for the time. that they viii go Democratic,
still success is seen in the figures remaining.
'Blaine and Logan will be elected without
the iorty-iiyc votes Of New York and New
Jersey, or without the thirty-cight votes of
Indiana and Ohio, or without the forty
three of Connecticut, New jersey, Indiana
and Michigan. or without the twenty-five
votes of California, Nevada and Wisconsin.
Ia other words, carrying New York, they
can afford to lose the electoral votes of any
three other Northern States that have APP
peared TO any one at any time to be doubt
full. Or losing New York they can succeed.

The Greatest Of All.

A man seemingly about 60 years OF age
was telling the people in the waiting room
at the Third street depot recently that he
had been east to old Massachusetts to see
his sisters, and that OH the way back he
stopped off at Niagara Falls.

woman with poke bonnet on.

lots OF hotels, and several Injuns, and the
bridal veil. and land only knows what else
II any old woman had a-been along she'd
have wilted right down"
There's water there, suppose?"
oh, heaps of it. 1t pours and thunder:
and roars and foams and humps around In
the terriblest manner. You have bit on a
shirt button in piece of pie, haven't your

well, the feeling was about the same
kind OF shivery. Why the biggest man tina,

Let him stand there and see that ere water

help but feel what miserable hoss- fly he is
You've fallen out of bed haven't your"

"Well, it's about the same thing-you
wake up and find yourself upon the floor
and you feel as If You had been stealin' ol
What portion Of the falls did you mos

The water. num-" he promptly replied
:" II you'd put 10 900 kegs OF beer on the roo

Great Loss of Life.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 2S.-The particulars
Of recent disastrous storms along the coast
of Lower California, were received at the
Merchants Exchange to-day, on the arrival
of the steamer Newbern from Guaymas
Che reports that the steamer Estado de So
nora left Nazatlan on September 10Th, and
on the following day encountered violent
southeast gale during which, the supposi-
ton Is, that the steamer rolled over carrying
all and everything on board to the bottom OF
the sea. The steamer was Mexican coaster
OF seven hundred tons, owned by Don Joa-
quin Redo, and insured in this city for x0,0OO
At the time OF the loss she had on board
q partial cargo, nineteen passengers and a
e!eW Of thirty-eight, including two captains,
an American, e. r. Rode, and Mexican,
MareiaI Campo. During the same storm the
American schooner, Dora, hence for Mexi-
can ports Sept. 18th, Is also supposed to have
been lost The Newbern reports that on Oct.
18th she passed 0 quantity of loose canvas,
which is believed to be from the Dora. as
that material comprised part of her cargo.
wreckage known to be part OF the Dora was
also found on shore near Cape 81. Lucas. No
bodies nor boats from either Of the above
vessels have been seen or heard OF
since the time OF the supposed disasters
Another gale occurred on October 7th which
continued with unabnted fury for three
days, creating tremendous sea and doing
great damage along shore In the vicinity of
Cape st. Lucas. AtCape 81. Lucas it blew
and washed away twenty houses; also a
large number Of live stock and farm prop
erty. The Storm was the most violent ever
seen In these parts OF nine small vessels
