A Warning

To the Editor of THE CHEF:
To the boyhoy, of the Republican party
from a republican who has seen little Of
po liiical strife: What most need is har-
mony in the party, but it seems some are de-
tcrniued to stir up Internal strife. Let us
look over the position with regard to the
office Of Clerk aud Recorder. We have two
prominent candidates, Moody and Sherman,
Each have their admirers. but ons can get
the nom nation, aud which ever is the man,
h. should have the entire support OF the par.
". But some tho claim to be republicans
say mo; If eur tavorlte is not nominated, We
will bolt" MIR. Moody calls to his aid
Judge King to get the nomination aud ad-
n,its the Judge will support him no further !;
III other words he lends himself as a ten-pin
on the political alley for the democrats to
roll at will. Tn. "Jedee" lowers his dignity
and takes the position rs pin-setter. Then
what? Mr.. Moody goes around telling that
the mugwump element say that If he does
not get the nomination they will bolt. Now
let us look at this thing in its proper light.
Moody needs the help of the Judge to get the
nomination, then does he not need his help
to secure his election? oh no. lie has
abiding faith in Sherman's friends 10 elect
him. | wish Sherman had reason to put the
same faith in Moody's friends, but according
to Moody's tell he has not.
1t seems there are few who think they
can establish Tamany ring in Delta county
to dictate the nominations of the Republican
party. but fear they lack the brains Of
Kelly, and am very sure the republicans Of
Delta county are not qualified to receive such
high order of civilization yet, and l think
Mcssrs. Dillon and Pugh had better let it
drop for the present.
gave Mr.. Moody credit with more polit-
ical sense than to repeat such things stand
ing rs he does. for rs look at the matter if
he needs the Judges help in the convention
he will certainly need the Sherman element
at the polls. and cannot see why they have
not the same privilege Of boiling rs Mr..
Moody's friends.
am n republican and propose to support
the ticket. | don't believe in this boltiny
business, and hope all who are going to
play the mugwump will get out of the party
rs I would sooner tight u regiment of open
enemies than have one traitor in the camp.
Hoping these differences will all be harmn.
niously settled and this faction fighting
stopped and the harty united, l will close
this my first epistle. A STALwARr.

Simply because Tom, Dick and Harry
wants an Office is no reason why he shsuld
he the nominee. The first thing to be taken
into consideration is can he be elected. The
strongest men that the republicans can nom.
nate for Office are the ranchmen, and a ranch
man is as fully qualified to fill the Offices OF
county treasurer and county Assessor as office
seekers or those who claim to know more
and who wears better clothes than the ranch
man. Good, solid. representative ranchm-n
are what we want to fill these positions.
They would not only strengthen the whole
ticket. but are of the class upon which the
foundation of the county is built. Nominate
ranchmen tor these offices by all means,

From the above fec bill we see that Judge
King received s2?.s5 IN fees as his official
compensation In that ease alone. Besides
tl,nt case he has had numerous other cases
within the pas. year, of which nearly all
have been FULLY tried and determined by him
In hi. court. The title of some Of the eases
arc as follows: Babin vs.. Shepherd; Ham.

trial; Bond vs.. Bond, tried; Wilson vs. ID.

But We have already devoted more space to
the article Of Judge King than we intended
n. Unfortunately for the county his time Of
Office does not expire this year, mud therefore
whether he receives 81, 900. or $45 rs he states.
