], r. JEsEINs,

J. r. JENKINS,
Circuit clerk of Bates county, was seen and
asked by the reporter whist he thought oil
the charge Of bribery as charged upcn Mr..
Waltou.
Ansape~-fdon't believe ii for moment.
His Me o. Is and business relations with
our people would give the lie to any such
q story.
o. d. AUSTIN,
present p master. The Butler postof6ce
nets shout 8, 200 per annum, and is not q
big thing, and l want TO to get rid of il.
Question-What do you think Of the
bribery charge az inst Walton?
ARS,ceT -Thst don't amountto anything.
Ali The people here know what il means.
SAMUEL LEVY.
I think Walton made a mistake writing
the letter, but / don't think he intended
10 bride any body. He is a public spirited
man. and is very anxious for the success
of Butler.
Tw. cHILDs.
Bribery was foreign TO Wslton's
thoughts. He Ia up.ight in all his
transactions, ard if the whole letter he
wrote to Stone was given, il would have a
very different light.
In. DAVIDSON.
Mr.. WALTON never intended his propo
sition as bribe His way OF doing BUSH
ress is not that style. He is honorable,
upright and just.
JNo. L. HICKMAN.
/ do not do nv banking business with
Mr.. Walton and / have no interest in this
postof6ce fight, but he never intended
bribery. He is a shrewd, active and am
bilious busin' IS man and be no doubt in
tended the proposition to Stone as friend,
10 assist him 10 a denomination and re-
election
s.P. FRANCISCO.
am not interested in this pcs'ofice
muddle and prefer not to be quoted, as |
am out of the fight and want 10 KEEP out.
A number of other business men were
seen who expressed SIMILAR sentiments as
given above, and public opinion wherever
Mr.. WALTON is known, is almost universal
" for him.
The rostoffice fight at Butler is sorry
piece OF bu mess but at the same time il
mas its funny side which provokes much
nirth.
wADE's DREAM,
lred up as one of the histor,c,l reminis-
Il noes of tie sir fe and handed down to pos
Gritty rs something that will make the
addest faced deacon smile.
The rush Of the friends of the respective
ocations to Washington, the red heat of
wires transmitting messages to |
Ind from tie national capital. and the |
bankrupt condition of the lunch stands |
,etween Butler and Washington, !
made so by the eager and ravenous |
Ippatites OF the hungry place hunter, will
Ill arise in monumental msguifcence,
alter as the unwritten history of the strife |
will be seen and read by men.
To the citizens Of Butler when the strife
S settled all agree to be pleased meet and
Jury the Ratchet. Let Wade isll upon De-
Almonds breast and weep; and dream Jake
Allen carry flag in each hand around the
qusre, while Col. Pace will lead band
flowing the BAZoo. Let Stone and Judge
Parkinson go to the rearest mouruer's
ench to swap stories. while Geo. Todd
tfers consolation 10 all concerned except
Wade and Allen.
HAVE A JUBILEE,
invite in your mrthar-in-law ard your
eighbor's mother. in-Isw; let th- 81 G.
lectric light burn on top OF The
curt house at MONDAY, put a little
niger in the cider, and in fact roll the
'illapus wsllopus of peace over all
ifferepces, and like brothers who have
e. n long separated, chew the cud of fra
'rnal aft ction and partake of the fatted
slf with renewed gHsto.
