FUN IN cOMANCHE COUNTY
POLITICS.

CoLDwATrE, Kan, Nov. 30 PM, 'a5.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
The campaign in this county is admitted
on all hands TO have been the most novel and
exciting one ever engaged in BIZ our party
leaders, several of whom are experienced
politicians. In addition TO the two regular
tickets and in order to satisfy few chronic
| office seekers, faction known as the Gran
ger party, (ostensibly having for its object
the safe keeping of the farmers Interests,
but really the division of the county and
the reorganization Of the old Kiowa county,
on the north, in thu interest of Greensburg,
which would thereby be a county seat also
put a full ticket in the field. For two weeks
| before the election the candidates of the
three parties canvsssed the county thor
oughly, sometimes holding two or three
meeting in single township on the same
day. Aside from several drunken fights
and great deal of noise everything passed
of pleasantly on election day. The ballot
box had been stuffed in the Bars rancho
precinct, of Irwin township, and the judges
refused TO certify to the count of the votes.
But as the returns came in Yesterday,
the county clerk, who was a candidate
for reelection. and, with no intent,
other than curiosity, opened several
of the envelopes containing the poll books
The board of commissioners met here to-day
for the purpose of canvassing the vote. 1t
had been ascertained, however, that the
Democrats polled by far the heaviest vote,
and had elected all the officers except repre-
sentative, treasurer, county attorney and
commissioner of the second district. The
Changers only secured the commissioner of
the first district. 1t happened that the en-
velopes which had not been opened con-
tanned the poll books of Nescatunga and
Wilson's (Glick township precincts, in
which there he'd been large granger vote
The votes of these two precincts were can
vassed this forenoon, after which the COM
missioners of the first and third districts,
both of whom were candidates for re-elec-
ton on the granger ticket, refused to make n
further canvass.
1t is believed that the leaders of that party |
will take immediate steps TO secure AN in |
junction against any further canvass, and
issue certificates of election to the candi- |
dates receiving the highest number of votes
in the two precincts canvassed. II their |
scheme be accomplished it will put the en-
tire granger ticket in Office. Excitement |
runs at high pitch, and although regular
blizzard is raging, two of our leading sttor-
news are off tonight for Wellington, where /
they will try to checkma,e the CHANGERS in
obtaining an Injunction, and secure writ
ten mandamus compelling the commission
srs TO complete the csnysss. j. e. 5.

The Wichita EAGLE thinks Davenport

quite different reasons for the defeat. and
speaks Of Mr.. Davenport in the highest
terms as man. Possibly the editor Of the
Tribune knows as much in regard TO Mr..
Davenport as does the editor of the EAGLE

The EAGLE probably should have said in
the "millioniare dude" connection, that TAX

York campaign counted for very little
Still the EAGLE adheres to its original state

Where the people live on cupons, and like

And q very pleasant stipend he is able now
to draw
From the active perspiration of his large
and manly jaw.
He has gotten out q volume, which, q lead
ing paper said,
Showed vast amount of learning and very
level head,
| And he lectures to the students in the col
leges near by;
And be tells about ambition-how q man
should do or die;
Talks of allegoric eagle flying upward to

the thing is done.
And he lectures these poor students all
| about the roll offame,
How man should take broad-ax, as it
were, and hew a name;
Talks of noble, high endeavor, and refers in
strains sublime.
To those antiquated footsteps left upon
those sands of time.
| These same lectures have been printed
they're the best ever saw;
But they do not mention Kansas, and they
don't refer to draw.

Giving neither bread nor greatness TO the

When my silver lighted shanty seems the

alleged Tripping.

For several days past we have had
some excitement in roller skating way,
which is not surprising as the roller Kinks
are the principal sources of interest in
these times of cold weather and business
duilness and depression. Arthur Calm,
OF Milwaukee, weil'known to cur citizens
as an optieian, attended the Olympic
Roller Rink last Wednesday evening and
claims that two of the skaters, William
Dennis and J. Wieseman, Jr., tripred
him several times and finally succeeded
in pushing,him with such violence against
the wall as to injure several of his fingers
and one of his limbs Mr.. Calm pro-
ceeded to have redress for the wrongs
under which he thought he suffered,
and had Messrs. Dennis and Wieseman
arrested for assault, taking them before
Justice Halliger Friday. The case was
sworn away from Halligsr and taken
before Justice Stacy. The defendants
secured q postponement of the case until
March 8. The defendants deny all the
allegations set up by Mr.. Calm, claiming
that Mr.. Gains fall was the result Of
one of those unavoidable collisions on
the floor which are experienced by near
ly all roller skaters at one time or another.
That the management of TIA rink was in
any way to blame about the matter, or
acted unjustly towards any Of the parties
involved in the transaction, does not
appear, as yet. It is left with the courts
tos say who is to blame in this celebrated
case 49,
