ELEVATOR IN THE CAPITOL BUILD.
ING.
The bill TO provide an elevator for the
Capitol building was, on motion Of Mr..
koiner, taken up.
Mr.. Lovenstein stated the committee
rooms and elevator could both be made
for $4,000.
Mr.. EllysOn hoped the improvements
would be made. The elevator would
be great convenience TO the Governor,
the basement officials, aud especially
to the many hundreds of visitors who
annually visit the Capitol building.
Mr.. Wickham was opposed to the
bill. He thought we had gotten along
all these years without this elevator,
and we could do it now.
Mr.. Heaton hoped the bill would pass.
lie thought the committee. rooms would
add much to the comfort of members
Of the General Assembly, and that the
elevator was much-needed public con.
venience.
Mr.. Koiner favored the committee
rooms, but thought the elevator might
be dispensed with. The bill was or
dered TO its engrossment.

What an object OF pity is he who, at
the dictation of a boss. sacrifices his indie
pendence as a citizen, his honor as Il man.
his self-respect as a human being, his
decency as a member of society and his
liberty as a free mani In this city the
manipulations of the Republican ring
have cracked the party whip, and a few
beings. who would like to be called men.
nave heard the sound and, like affect
slaves, have crawled and cringed at the
feet Of u.eir heartless masters. and are
even now kissing the hand that is stab
bing them in the back.
These masters who dextcrously handle

with threats, to another with promises. 10

lies. To him who is in the employ Of a

missed il you don't vote the straight
ticket; you must look out for your family.

addressed. sacrifices the courage Of his
convictions and complies with their no
quest. Notwithstanding the fact that, by
SO doing he only %foririts their r. spect AID
and increases their disgust. The result
in his case is that. in time, lie will lose
his position. and lose it because he has
shown himself unworthy OF being trusted
as a man.

with our party and we will lift you up;
we will establish you in the high walk. Of

sire" This one complies. and then. with
the mo;kin1 laugh of hollow hypocrisy,
they give him a thrust in the dark, which
Injuries his reputation aud darkens his
life.

with us, an We will give you such an ot

last arrives.
And to still another they 90. and if this
one IL not inundated by threats. allured
by promises. or deceived by fl ulery, they
do not hesitate 10 misrepresent well known
facts.
Do not these people know that the only
object of the ring is to secure their W
elrction2 They care for nothing but the
present. They must have the office just
this time, and anything aud everything
must be done to secure it.
Is it true that there is not independence
enough among the voters of the Republi-
can party to see AMI expose these
schemes? We know there is, and we
know that the folly OF adopting such
methods will be emphasized on Tuesday
next. While a lew cravens Ill " put their
necks in the yoke, we know that the
manly, independent and intelligent Gle
ment Of their party will walk III miully
forth to the polls and deposit their ballots
according to the courage Of their honest

DON'T nLuEE.

The only question the people are TO
decide is; Which candidate is the best
one for the position?
The Ecening Boodlc and the Sun
have endedvore1 to direct the attention
Of the people from the points at issue,
but the facts are against them. and facts
ARE unwholesome to these organs. When
Facts fail them, they misrepresent, and
when truth comes 10 the top they bluff.
We say. don't bluff, gentlemen. 1t
won't do you any good. The Sun says
Mann and Sharpl,ss will be elected. 1t
says so because it is the regular party or
gan, and, TOR want of argument, 1t cam
lay anything else. The Erenin9 BoocHe
says the same thing, but it does so because
it is paid handsomely Tor it.
You haven't played your hands well
enough to bluff at this late stage Of the
gaine You cant get any votes by it.
Murrin and Stoll will be elected and you
can bluff them out Of it. Try it all you
please. Every time you bluff you will he

TIE JACKET.

How nicely they now come out and try
to take the bull by the horns.
There are men on the Democratic ticket
who have lived honorable lives and tolled
hard, but they are too manly to say any
thing about their personal affairs. Never
one word has escaped their lips, yet they
could tell volumes. Never will they utter
one word upon these subjects, because
they are of the stuff that MN are made
OF.
Scarcely had the campaign opened than
the Republican candidates for sheriff and
prosecuting attorney began to play the
poverty racket" on the quiet. They did
not come out openly, but worked it amonr
tho c they could influence by it. But
some careful and conscientious men, who
don't always believe everything a whining
candidate tells them, looked at the records
OF the county, inquired into matters Of
loans, land, etc, and the conclusion was
inevitable that these petty lodges were
without foundation in fact When II
candidate goes around and asks you to
vote for him because he is poor, while the
fact is that he is not, you may dopend
upon it that his Efforts to get sympathy
will result unfavo-ably To him. Such was
the result in the two cases We have men
toned.
Now that the reaction has set in, what
is to be done about it2 Th,se
candidates NUT be saved-even FROM
the folly of their own unmanly course.
Why, Of course, there is but one way
left, and hat is to charge the same ot
Tense against the oppositiun. notwitlt.I
stan linz the fact that the opposition has
never uttered one word on the SUI jeci.
This is in accordance with the policy VI
the SIN, AMI Of course, the E'reniag
Boo lie is we'll paid to adopt the same
course.
1t is a well established fact that certain
men in this county have been %clecteu
SIMPLY because they have used large SUN,
Of money in buying votes. Some Of hes
same Ill n are candidates again. The
have opposed 10 them men who use u,
money, aud one thing has been insisted
upon BY the Democrats, viz. that n,
money should be used in this election.
They place the test at a mans fitness fn
the position, and upon this they stand.
The LEADER alluded to these facts and
said that the coming election would de
eide whether a poor man coull be elected
1t wanted To know if those who sell then
votes would control this election, u;
whether the hunest sentiment of inte.ll.
gent voters woul prevail
The SIN and 30 ,'ye seized upon thi,
expr ssion Of The LEADER s. anil took IL
as a handle to make an onslaught upon
the opposition, and they did so becaus.
they knew Of the reaction that had al
ready set in against those who started on
10 advocate their fitness for Office b,
working The poverty racket, > and 1t was
necessary To do what they could to stem
the tide setting in against them.
Gentlemen, it won't do any good. TIL,
bluff won work. The fact is that you,
" can lidates started out on that un
manly course, and most of tie peopl,
know it. No one on the Democratic
ticket advanced any such claim, and you
cant stuff such chat down peoples
threats. They. and they alone. have used
the poverty plea. No one on the Demo
cratic ticket has done SO, 1t is hard to
kick against the pricks, but, gentlemen,
you will have to bear it

small voice whispers a statesman s ambi.
ton into his organ ot sell est cm, and

be well to cautiously remember that even
if he should be elected he would have no
relative present in the house to assist him
There is much food for reflection in this
idea

The opposition know full well that
Nal Glafcke is neither the editor Of
The LEADER nor is he writing the edi-
torial articles for it. They also know that
he has not been in the city for several
days. Il is, therefore, extremely unprin
ciplei to endeavor to make capital against
the major on account OF what the editor of
The LEADER may say. The editor is re.
sponsible for what he says and assumes all
that responsibility brings.
