The Abilene Gazette in an article OF
some days ago, likened the editors OF
the REFLECTOR to a smooth bore"
and 'choBe BORE gun, a sort of
double-barreled institution. We would
rather be a smooth bore or choke bore
than bore to the people. Of all the
bCres the Reformed Editor act was the
worst boring. Then the great Abilene
Daily Gazette bore, with its stale news,
was another bore; then the Editor pos
ing as the Editor of a moral paper was
a bore so rusty, coTTOded and unnatural
that the bore ON the bore is wearing
through in spots and revealing the rot
tenness of the barrel, made sort of worm
eaten like by the drug store act that
closed the great wholesale bore on the
south side; that was a single-barrel-
Observation-Disclosures, shooting 40
rod Wy straight out of a 800 per
cent. profit bore, cooked and primed at
all times, except few days before his
Honor, the District Judge, presided. 1t
has been bore to the hungry and starv-
ing, shooting grief, heart-aches and de-
spair over our fair county. At times 1t
bored around the ragged edge of de-
spair, when the cross bars of the county
jail was ready to receive the great piO-
atOr. 1t bored in the pockets of the
taxpayers, it bored the court, the jury
and the people. The great bore laid
back and let the law fall upon the cytin-
ders. The people are bored with gush-
ing editorials and the ammunition prln-
cipaly shot is blank cartridges, plenty
of noise and smoke but nothing solid.
1t may be the ammunition is stored III
a receptacle that has been over hoped.
His shooting as an editor shows he is
using an old fint-lOck, often missing
fire. but when it does shoot the kick is
mutual. The wholesale gun, if it was
not a breech-lOader, it was breeches
filler, and if the present drug store law
can be repealed the old flint lock will
be laid aside and the Jersey twist bore
once more cheerfully and gladly brought
in use.

An eastern paper says Parson NEW
MAN is going to write book on Me and
GRANT

Every newspaper is cursed with an
occasional subscriber whose soul seems
to have been made of One-fag end Of
the material, and a shaimp pattern of
that. We are always thankful when
sue i:ffs themselves from our list. The
sooner the better. They generally re-
fuse to take the paper out of the office
after taking it two or three years with
out having paid cent for it-a plain
steal with an insult added. Or else
they move away without saying word
or paying a nickel. Or, all at once dis
cover that they never ordered it, never
wanted, or they received it irregularly,
not more than half the time-won't
paw for it. In either case it is cow
ardly snap, such as an honest man
would not be guilty of. The proper
way to stop newspaper is to pay up
first, and then stop it afterwards. If
you are a gentleman and don't owe a
cent walk into the office, look the gen.
tleman in charge full in the eye and tell
him you don't wish or can't afford it.
If you are on the hog plan, chuck it
back into the postoffice and mark 1t
refused. Ed.

For the Reflector.
JEFFERSON, Oct.

JEFFERSON, Oct. 20, 1885.
MFSsRS EDITORS-When a voter is
denied the right to express his views in
his party paper, he must apply to more
liberal sheet, hence | write to your pa
per hoping that you will give space to
the broken sentences of one not accuS-
toned to writing for the press.
The writer has been moved to this
by reading the Saturdays issue of the
Abilene Daily Gazette. 1t is well I'M
derstood that Rohrer, of the Gazette, was
active in inducing Mrs. Leming to offer
herself as an independent candidate for
the office of Register of Deeds, and that
he and his friends were booming her as
the soldiers widow, also as being in ev-
ery way worthy and well qualified for
the place. The friends and neighbOrs OF
Mrs. Leming in this part of the county
are almost solid for her election and
have felt kindly to ROhrer and all 9th
ers that were helping us in this effort
to i'm part render aid to a needy and
worthy woman and as tribute of re-
spect to departed soldier. But you
may imagine our surprise on taking up
the Gazette of the date before mentioned,
and finding an editorial urging the cleo
ton of Miss Junken. So far as the in
fIuence of that paper goes it operates
against the election of Mrs. Leming.
| asked a gentleman, of the ROhrer
stripe, what this meant, and got the
following answer: You just keep
quiet. George is all right; he was obliged
to do that to save Ball. You see Miss
Junken's friends were going to turn
against Ball if Geo. did not support
Alice" Now in the opinion of the
writer this explains the whole thing.
The soldiers widow must be sacrificed;
solemn promises broken sooner than a
boon companion and hail fellow well
met be defeated. How long, oh how
long, will the honest voters of this
county be traded, sold and bartened by
the political Jockeys?
If you will give this a place in your
paper you will hear from me again.
A VOTER.

1.-The president is democrat, and it
is strange that any person should ques-
ton his position. He heartily desires
the success of his party in the pending
election in New York state as well as
elsewhere, and any assertion to the
contrary is utterly and maliciously
false"
This is the presidents answer
through the associated press to the
campaign canard that he was opposed
to the reelection of Gov. HILL, in New
York state.

got the true guage of the two parties he

New York Does Her Own Thinking.

The Republicans are just now very
sure of carrying New York in Novem-
Der because they have carried Ohio in
October. Have they forgotten that
Ohio gave Republican majority last
year also in October, and that New
York was carried by Cleveland in
November? Can they recall 1876, when
the Republicans carried Ohio in Octob-
er and the Democrats carried New
York in November? And 1876, when,
after Republican October majority in
Ohio, the Democratic November ma
iority was nearly $4,000? New York
does her own thinkingl-N. Y. World.
