1ntelligencer:-"The talk Of Mr..
Gladish being a farmers candidate is
rubbish" Register: Mot nearly SO
much so, we beg leave to state, as is the
talk of MIR. Hicklin's being a farmers
candidate. Mr.. Hicklin lives in town,
and practices law. Mr.. Gladish lives
in the country and works OH a farm"
Does he, indeed? We have his assess
ment list before us IN which he swears
that all the live stock he owns is one
horse, worth $50; one COW, $15; 2 hogs,
$50; all the other personal property he
gives in for taxation is, one watch, 500;
one piano, $50; household and kitchen
furniture, $50; total valuation of his
personal property, $155. Pray how
does he work a farm with one horse !:
And after raising his crop with the poor
animal we suppose he bitches it to the
piano and hauls his produce to market
in that. He has no wagon or farming
implements, or at least he SO stated I'M
der oath July l, 1886. The fact is, MIR,
Hicklin owns more farming land and
does more farming than does MIR.
Gladish, and does it more successfully
as he is never heard to growl about his
inability to make it paw.

THE q

As the subject of county printing has
been injected into the county canvass
and has become a subject of discussion
it may % be amiss to say a few words
regarding 1t.
1t has been stated that from one to
three thousand dollars could be saved
by letting out the printing. 1t has al
ready been shown that the county paid
only 1887 for printing for the last year.
We now propose to show what has
been paid by the county for printing,
to newspapers, for three years ending
Oct. 1, 1886, and also for three years OF
the republican administration of coun-
ty affairs.
The county paid for printing for three
years ending Oct. LIST, 1855 $3.50 10
Average per year..... ............. 800 O5
The amount paid by the county for
printing, to newspapers in the county,
for 1871, 1872 and 1873, under republic
can administration, was as follows:
t8,oo4 4o
1871 2,I49 6U
1,749 80
Total. .....8 81. 1888 60
Annual average. ,729 "
deduction in amount for three years
of democratic administration ....S7,1S3 SO
Reduction in yearly average........e2.397 81
The expense of county printing for
three years under republican rule was
nearly nine times as great as under
democratic management fer the same
period, and the average yearly expense
under republican rule was three times
as great as the whole of the three years
of democratic management.
We might not have thought Of in
shutting the comparison if it had not
been for the false impression tried to
be created by an sssistsnt-republican
who is quite reckless In his statements
against persons who have dared to Of
fend his blue-blooded feelings. The re-
publicans of the county may we'll ex-
claim, save us from our new-found
friend and self constituted leader.

MR.. GLADISH AND THE PUBLIC

The Intelligencer of the 10th inst.
contained this editorial paragraph:
The Post gives great many alleged reasons
why Mr.. Gladish should be elected to the
legislature. We are given one by his
and that is. that he is opposed to public
schools. How is that, Mr.. Post!
To this Mr.. Gladish addressed us the
following reply which we cheerfu!ly
printed in the paper of October %:
H~IGGINsvILLE, Mo-, Oct. 10, 1895 =.
EDITOR INrELLIGENCER:-In your paper
Of last Saturday you charge that my neigh

because l do not believe that you would

Mr.. Hicklin would approve OF it. Please
give this u place In your paper and oblige, re-
specially, NJ. NJ. GLADIsH.
Since our last issue we have received
the following letter, which, it will be
seen, justifies our original publication.
and shows that some very estimable
gentlemen, his neighbors, hold that as
to public schools Mr.. Gladish is an OBJ

MR.. FRANK N. THOMAS.
The Intelligencer last week printed
this paragraph:-

The Intelligencer last week printed
this paragraph
Mr.. Frank NJ. Thomas voted at the
primary election indeed was a candidate tor
constable. How can he, consistently, sup
port a republican for sheriff: We are told
that he IL soliciting votes for Mr.. Clark on
the plea that he is promised a deput'shlp.
Now this is all wrong. In the first place,
having participated in the primary. and had
his chance therein, he is in honor bound to
support the nominees. And, further. the
promise of a deputyship for support at the
polls Is bribery as defined BY the statute, and
would. were il proven, disqualify. Mr. Clark
from holding the office If he could be elected
| which is not in the range Of probability even.
Mr.. Thomas has been a democratic official. a
constable, and he should know the law. For
Mr.. Thomas benefit, as he does not seem to
remember the law I'VE will here print tiff
any person shall, directly or indirectly, give
or procure to be given, or engage to give anV
money, gift or reward, or any of1ce, place or
employment upon any engagement, contract
or agreement, that the person to whom. or TO
whose use, or on whose behalf, such gilt or
promise shall be made. shall, by himself or
any other, procure or endeavOr to procure the
election of any person to any office, at any
election by the electors, or any pubic BODY.
under the constitution or laws OF this state,
the persons so offending shall, on conviction.
be adjudged guilty of bribery, and punished
by Imprisonment in the penitentiary for q
term not exceeding five years."
10 this Mr.. Thomas makes the fol
owing reply
LEXINGTON, Mo-, Oct. q, 1885.
EDITOR 1NTELLIGENCER:-In Saturdays
issue of the Intelllgencer OF Oct. %. there Is a
notice of Frank NJ. Thomas, that reads in
this wise -. Mr.. Frank NJ. Thomas voted at
the primary, indeed was a candidate for con-
stable. How can he consistently support q
republican for sheriff? We are told that he
is soliciting votes for Mr.. Clark on the plea
that he is promised q deputyship."
In reply to your astonishment and rehear-
sal of the law, I will say, that l am working
for Mr.. Clark because he Is a personal friend
of mine. So far as Mr.. Clark's pledges or
promises to me about q deputy are concerned
I don't think that he or L will visit Jefferson
bound to vote for the nominees of the demo-
cratic party; 10 other words no man Is honest
that voted in the primary that will not sup
port the nominees.
What about the scores of democrats that
say they will not support the ticket! What
about the scores of democrats that voted for
John T Crisp? And what about the hun.
dreds OF democrats that supported DR.. P. 3.
Fulkerson?
You quoted law, about bargain and sale.
Please listen while l read an article from the
Intelligencer of May Doth.
I take this means of warning my friends,
and saying that If Mr.. Steele is elected 1 will
remain where l have been for years rs his
deputy. If Mr.. Warren IS elected l will not.
Very Respectfully,

SCHOOL DISTRICT No. 6.

LAFAYETTE COUNTY, Mo-, Oct. %, 'S6.
EDITOR INTELLI0ENCER. In answer to
Mr.. Gladlsh in the Intelligecer, we the un-
designed board of school district No. 6, here
by state what he has done. For two years
MI. Gladish has been trying to break up our
distr let set apart by our honorable Commits
sioner. One year ago last April he signed a
petition to divide school district No. 6, taking
nearly one half of our territory and joining 1t
to the Jennings district, which Is one among
the largest districts in the county. Failing in
this. when it came to vote for a two months
additional school. he cast his vote against 1t,
which the school record will show. Last
April, failing to divide our district, he signed
another petition, which we can show, to con.
solidate US with the Jennings district making
a district from eight to ten miles square. our
children having from three to five miles to
walk. Mr.. GladIsh ives Just one mile and q
quarter from the school house in district No.
q, and two miles and a half from the Jennings
school, where he votes to send his children.
