AS THE immaculate blackmailer
down the river seems to enjoy denying
little matters that we have cast up
from time to time, we have concluded
to furnish him little more amusement
i'm that line
Will he deny that in 1892, while ed
itor of the Independent Press, he
placed in the hands of certain lola at
torneys for collection, accounts against
the different candidates on the "Inde-
pendent" ticket, aggregating in the
neighborhood of $500, for alleged ser
vices of the Press'
Will he deny that one of the said
bills was against w: L. Bartels for S25
or S35, which was itemized as "For
publishing so many editorials, so much;
For suppressing such and such edito-
rial, so much, ETC., ETC."
Will he deny that another of said
bills was against l.. l.. Hartman for
the sum of 1852"
Will he deny that another of said
bills was against J. o. Fife for SlOO,
and that in this case he went so far as
to begin suit against Fife, by writing
out his bill of particulars in which he
stated among other things, that certain
communications that had been offered
him, fnr prhl;oofiop opd which wOuld
be very injurious to said Fife, had been
suppressed on.the agreement of the
latter to pay for the trouble?
Will he deny that he presented a
bill for S25 against Leroy Runyan last
year, for services rendered during
the campaign, and threatened to begin
suit at once if it was not paid?
That will do for this time. When
we hear from the i. b., the catechism
will be continued.

RESOLUTIONS.

AT the meeting of the Woman's
Presbyterial Missionary Society of Ne
osho Presbytery, held at Yates Center
Sept. 20, 1885, the following resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, That in the event of hui
man life the great procession is forever
moving on.
Whereas, our beloved sister Alice
+. Vannuys has passed over the river,
we feel it eminently fitting to pause
and offer tribute of love and respect
for departed worth.
Resolved, That we acknowledge the
hand that controls our destinies, and
our faith in the ability of Jesus Christ
to save all from their sins who come to
God by him, of which truth she was so
tender and eloquent an advocate. And
be it further
ResotUed, That We bow humbly to
the divine will knowing that "The
world passeth away and the lust there
of, but he that doeth the will of God
abidith forever Therefore, We ex-
tend our sympathy to her bereaved
family and society with which she
was connected and commend them to
Him who doeth all things well.

Hankins in regard to the matter and
he says emphatically that he is not

How much did The REGISTER get
from the republican candidates? We
understand that they paid $40 each
and that Brown paid 500 because he
drank, and Gardner had to pay SIS be-
cause he lived in Humboldt. How
much did you get Mr.. REGISTER In
ter-iStote.
THE REGISTER received the regular
fee Of IS from each of the candidates
who announced himself. In addition
to that it has not received a dollar or a
cent from any candidate, nor does it
expect anything more from them.
THE REGISTER does not make its liv-
ing by blackmai,ing candidates.

WE accused the Inter- State of black
mailing candidates. 1t denies it and
says "You're another" In order to
settle the matter we make this propo-
sition: We will give warranty deed
to THE REGISTER office to Mr.. Smith
or any one he may designate, If he will
furnish proof that any candidate was
ever asked by us or ever offered, in per-
son or by proxy directly orindirectly, to
pay us any money for the publication
or for the suppression of any editorial
opinion. We will also turn over the
property if he will prove that we ever
demanded money from any candidate
as the condition of supporting him.
So much for our side Of the proposition.
Will Mr.. Smith make US as liberal q
proposition?

After two years of democratic adj
ministratioH, the voters OF Ohio
cry. Hold, enoughv

The election in Ohio Tuesday, result
ell in a sweeping republican victory.
The plurality for the State ticket will
not be less than 10000. while the re-
publicans will have a working major
ity in the legislature. This is as it
should be. 1t means that JOhn.Sher-
man will go back to the Senate. 1t
means that there is still republican
party in Ohio, in spite of 'S4. 1t
means that republican principles are
enduring and will still win victories.
And it goes long way toward mean
