To the Voters of Thomas county. kanS
GENTLEMEN:-The time is almost ut
hand when re must again exercise our
rights as il free people, and decide who
shall rule over rs for the next two years
as state and county officers. As a free
people we can only maintain the liberties
bequeathed unto us by our Industrious
forefathers by strictly adilering to the
principles contained in The constitution
of the United States the constitution of
the cOnm0nT Of han>aG. and the
laws embraced iii the statutes OF cur

would refrain from electing any man to
an office either IN county or state, who
has hitherto either in or out of Office been
guilty of habitu&lly t,isregariiug the laws
Of orr commonwealth, it would help very
much to magnify the laws OF the state.
Gentlemen. you are aware that you are
laying the foundation. OF county gov
eminent in Thomas county, and that
much depends upon how you lay that
foundation. Thomas county is destined
to be noted county in Kansas, and if
you shall built wisely there is no just
reason why Colby may not become the
headquarters for morality, education. the
bright elements OF civilization and relig
ion, for Ell northwest Kansas. within the
course Of the next fifteen years. We. the
voters OF Thomas county. could, if we
would elect good men, tried men, honest
men, w-abiding men, who would strive
to lift UP the standard of law, SO as to
make it harmOniZe with the statutory
provisions of the laws OF Our state. Now,
gentlemen, are we willing to work ear
nestiy before the November election 20
secure COED men to rule over Us. Good
government is more desirable than mere
devotion to any political party No men
nor parties should prevent Us from voting
for only sUch men rs we verify believe are
best capavitated To ill with hon CIR the re-
spective Offices, and to enforce the laws
Of our country. Respectfully,

MATTERS THAT CONCERN
THOMAS COUNTY.

Practically we are all strangers il
Thomas county, consequently it be
comes necessary for a candidate who
asks the suffrages of the people to ex
plain his position and ideas on various
subjects
1st. The cost of transcribing the
records of Sherman county from
Sheridan county must be paid by the
State.
Cd. The cost of the criminal &C
tons tried in Thomas county and the
costs that have been paid from Sher:
man being attached to Thomas fol
judicial purposes should be paid by
the State.
Sd. Tie cost Of taking the census
for the organization of Thomas coun-
ty has never been paid in full. The
parties who were employed to do the
work are entitled and should have
their pay.
4th. The present system Of regu-
lating railroad rates is very unsatis-
factory to the people of thes far west.
The Board of Railroad Commission
ers should be given more power
or the regulating of rates done by the
legislature direct. The cost of freight
per hundred pounds from Kansas City
to Oakley is one-third greater than
from Chicago to Kansas City, and the
distance between the latter points is
double.
9Th. There are but few states in
the Union that have twelve and six
per cent. interest rate. Kansas is the
best agricultural State in the whole
list, and Kansas securities are above
par There is no earthly reason why
the interest rate should not DO reduc-
ed to ten by agreement and six where
no agreement is made.
9th. A special act should be in
troduced in the next session of the
legislature making all section lines in
Thomas county public highways. The
present law is long and tedious, and
before a section line road is opened,
action must be taken by the commits
two viewers appointed to
meet with the county surveyor and
Thomas County cat. [volume] (Colby, Kan.) 1885-1891, 1886-09-23

is the watchword of the Republican
party. Who said the negro was q
chattel and had no rights which we
were bound 20 respect, the Democratic
party. Who opposed reconstruction,
the 18th. 18th, amendments? The
Democratic party. And to cap the
climax of Inconsistencies they in this
state run ''nigger'' as they say to
catch votes. Kansas is Republican
and Thomas county is Republican.
Kansas is the Banner State in the
Union, so is Thomas county the Ban
ner county in the state of Kansas. We
are proud of both and their record
and let US strive to make it as pure
and clean and honest in the future as
ii has been in the past.
Thomas County cat. [volume] (Colby, Kan.) 1885-1891, 1886-09-23

The new law in regard to the imme-
diatc delivery of letters and other mail
matter having ten cents special deiiv-
cry stamp attached, vii! go into effect
October 1st It applies to all postof-
fees in the United States, and all
matter so stamped must be delivered
at the name of the addressed as soon
as possible after its arrival at the
postotfice, provided such addressed
resides within one mile of said office.
Registered matter hearing the special
delivery stamps must be in addition To
the lawful postage The delivery
shall be made at any time from { a.
n. to Z p. m., Or until the arrival of
the last mail, if not later than 9 p. m.
Thomas County cat. [volume] (Colby, Kan.) 1885-1891, 1886-09-23

lay out and plat such road. The or
der of the commissioners must also
be published two weeks, the total cost
to the county being near s75 for each
road With twelve roads in each con-
gressional township and 80 congress
sional townships in the county, the
cost would necessarily be great.
There are numerous other subjects
that space forbids mention.
In conclusion | would say that if I
am nominated and elected to the Of
fee OF representative, | will labor
earnestly for the above measures,
and the reimbursing OF Thomas coun-
ty for all costs by reason OF Sherman
being attached to Thomas for judicial
purposes. Respectfully,

Gov. Martin in his opening speech
of this falls campaign showed himself
a statesman and that he had and does
now take firm unequivocal stand
against the saloon. The Gov. has
been accused of hypocricy but no one
can place their finger on one act
that will prove such a base assertion.
Kansas is the child of the republi-
can party and there is not a more
prosperous state in the Union to-day.
Look at the good old democratic state
of Missouri it is as fertile as Kansas,
it is as l:rge as Kansas but it don't
have the intelligence of Kansas. Ii
don't have the enterprising noble cit
liens of Kansas. So the comparison
might 60 on 1t shows the republican
rule has been beneGcent, just and hon.
orable. The thousands that came to
Kansas, right by Mo. shows that this
is the best state and that its laws are
the best. Sometimes the slur is
thrown out by some indiscreet Demo
Gratis that the republicans don't favor
the soldier. This is too false to deserve
an answer. Stand by the soldiers

our flag, stand by them has been and

Reports from Texas ara to The cf-
feet that the drouth is very excessive

been sent from thirty six counties and
emigration is in progress to escape
