Amusements This Week.

ALBAUCH's GRAND OPERA HOUSE. = The
Queens Lace Handkerchief being an opera
more nearly within the scope of the ability OF
the summer opera company, was rendered last
evening with better effect than the more am
bilious operas of the past few weeks. The per-
1ornlance may occasionally have lacked SpOn-
taneity, but this will correct itself after the
first performance. The choruses and ensem-
bies, especially those at the close OF the second
and In the third act, We're taken with vivacity
and literally applauded. Miss SearIe made an
excellent Irene, and Blanche Chapman, the
Queen, evoked much applause by her posing
and dancing. Miss Winston gave a graceful
impersonation OF the King, and s. w. keene
rendered SuyichO in excellent style.
IHE HORRORS OF WAR.-The realistic panO-

oerful that visitors sometimes linger for hours,
studying the various striking scenes depicted.

ty, in convention assembled:
That we are in harmony with the present
democratic administration and endorse the
platforms adopted by the state democratic con-

and further, that we endorse the nominees of
those conventions.
That we favor strict and careful exami-
nation of the records of Barber county, by n
competent committee of taxpayers, to the
end thai the exact financial condition of the
county may be ascertained and made public To
the Taxpayers.
That we are opposed to the further fund
ing of the floating debt of the county into
bonds having thirty years to run and bearing
six per cent. interest, until all legal judgments
and high interest bearing bonds have been
compromised or refunded; and when any other
| bonds are to be issued, we demand that II lower
rate of interest be fixed and that the county be
given the option of paying them at any time
after five years from the date of their issue.
| That we favor more just system of assess
| ments and demand that money, notes, bonds
mortgages and vacant town lots he assessed AT
their true value, and that system which makes
farm property bear the heaviest burden of tax.
alton be abolished.
That we demand a moro perfect system of
public highways that the producer may reach
the markets with the products of his toll; and
we will hold to strict accountability any officer
or public servant who permits a continuation
of tax-dodging and refusal to work the roads
so prevalent in this county.
That We invite the cooperation of oil vot
ers who favor rctrenchment and reform ir
county affairs; who favor equal and just tax
alton: and who favor a strict accountability e
the Taxpayers, by all public officials.
| That We agree to support the nominees OF
| this county democratic convention.

From Capt Skeen. 81

EDITORS INDEX:
My attention has been directed to an
article il the Kiowa Herald OF the Dist
inst, concerning the withdrawal of w.
+. COble, as candidate for supeTin-
tendent of public instruction. In that
article the editor of the Herald takes
occasion to severely critIcise me for
what he appears to think the part l had
taken in Inducing Nh COble to take the
step lie has.
L need not enter into any defense of
myself from any attacks of such men
as the editor of the Herald, but ! may,
for the benefit of those who do not
know of the circumstances. state facts
of interest at this time, not only III
justice to Mr.. Coble but in defense of a
worthy lady, of whom the ungallant
Herald man has made mention.
When many members of the demo-
cratic party approached me as the
friend of MIR. Coble and suggested that
his candidacy was hopeless one; when
his best friends pointed out the fact
that he could not be elected, / inquired
into the matter carefully and came to
the same conclusion; but never in any
manner suggested TO Mr. CobIe that he
should withdraw and he will bear me
out in this statement. l did not know
that he ever intended to withdraw un-
til he had already written his letter to
that effect.
As to having Mrs. Horizons name
substituted for his: 1t was done with
out my asking any member of the dem
ocratic committee 70 do so. But am
reliably informed that it was under
stood by that committee, when Mr..
Simmons was present, that in the event
of Mr.. Coble Withdrawing, that Mrs.
Horizons name should be substituted,
and l also understand that her friend
and brother-in-law, Mr.. O'Shee, stated
to several members of that commit
tee that he would be opposed to allow
ing her name used before the indepent-
ent convention, if they thought it
would injure her standing before the
I democratic committee; and l under
| stand that he was advised by better
democrats than Mr.. Simmons to per-
nit her name to be endorsed by as
many parties as would do so. And
now, L ask, why does Mr.. Simmons not
tear down the names of DIR. Downtain
and JAS. Ely? They were also endors-
ed by the independent convention.
One answer is that they are full grown
men; another answer is that because
he, Simmons, is an enemy of Mike
O'Shee be is also an enemy of his wife's
sister and in this last answer is the
milk that is in the cocoanut"
If Mr.. Simmons is democratic par
tisan, he should abide by the action of
his party. If he is not partisan, he
should have his name taken from the
list of central committeeman.
If he had not been a coward, he
would not have brought the name of
the worthy lady into the columns of
his paper. with undue respect.
In honor TO Mrs. Horton / will say
that she is one Of Our most accomplish
ed teachers, independent and self-sus-
tanning and she is especially qualified
for the position to which she aspires.
and if elected. will Gil the Office with
honor To herself and will! make n record
that will ever be pointed to with pride
by the citiZers of Barber county.
Respectfully,

No nun has any authority for saying
that DIR. Hoover has any intention of
Withdrawing from the canvass. lie is
the candidate of the democratic party {;
he deserves the vote of his party AID
he will receive it if there are no trait
Ors IN the camp. Mr.. Simpson has no
qualifications for the Office that DR..
Hoover has not; he has no claims on
the Office and there is no reason why he
should receive even one democratic
vote. Our state, congressional and
county platforms contain the doctrines
that are advocated 10y Mr.. Simpson and
our candidate is pledged to the reforms
that Mr. Simpson is so loudly advocat-
ing so why not elect DR.. Hoover? lie
will get mere votes than Mr.. Simpson,
and If any Withdrawing is to be done.
we candidly think Mr.. Simpson should
inaugurate the movement.

Tom Georges Speech.

II there was anything further wanted
to convince the people of BORDER coun-
ty that they could best protect their
interests by voting for ThOs. George
for congress, the matter was settled
last Thursday night. when Mr.. George
appeared here. and addressed the peo-
pie in public meeting. He was known
to most of his hearers, though but few
of them had ever heard him discuss the
political issues of the day. His effort
in this direction was frank, intelligent
and convincing. He declared himself
as opposed TO the government delega-
ting the issue of currency to any power,
and therefore he was in favor of the
national bank notes being retired. He
declared in favor of free trade, as be-
ing in the interest of the western far
mer and producer. He declared in ia
vor of the opening of the Indian Ter
ritOry to settlement for the reason that
Kansas would profit largely by such
opening, and would gain the overflow
of population that would flock to ok
! lahoma, and find il filed. But Mr..
George advocated one measure that
would prove popular beyond all others,
| if once inaugurated in this western
country. He said he would favor an
amendment to the land laws that would
permit a pre-emptor to pay 10 per cent.
of the purchase money for his claim at
the time of making final proof, and
that would allow him twenty or even
thirty years to pay the balance, he to
pay rate of interest on the balance
not exceeding 8 per cent. per annum.
and also allow the homesteader to COM
mute his homestead on the same terms.
He pictured the inconvenience and
hardships that many settlers are now
subjected to in borrowing money at
high rates of interest in order TO COM
plete even their first payments. Tn
der the amended law Mr.. George pro-
poses, the settler could pay for his land
OIL easier terms, even, than school lands
are now disposed of.
Mr.. George also declared himself in
favor of forfeiting all unearned land
grants, and opening the land to actual
settlers.
Mr.. George made many friends by
his speech. His audience was made NJ
of thinking men, without regard to par
, ty, and in conversation with the most
intelligent of his hearers, after the
meeting, we were surprised to learn
how hear he came to pleasing everyone
He made no effort at Oratory, but-dealt
out hard facts that could not be dis
puted.
lie was followed by Judge Dawson
Smith, of Clark county, democratic
nominee for judge of the 9th judicial
district. Judge Smith is an entertain
ing speaker, and mixes his solid facts
= with just enough humor TO make then
palatable. lie, too, is solid on thu
= finance question, and is in favor of free
, trade, as being in the interest of thu
: western producer. lie did not once re
fer to his own candidacy, but was pro
