POLITICAL POINTERS.
Our Correspondent Considers q Few
Division Candidates.


crat speak Of H. Y. Perkins, the latter
part of Believue's recent political birth
AS Virginia renegade democrat. We
dent ln'ior>e this style OF campaigning
1t he Is ~ renegade Mahoni,e, aud dis
graced tile soil of Virginia rs the excited
democrat states. it Is matter that appeals
I" the conscience ut MIR. Perkins. The F
+. VS. are hotab'y Virginia solid stock,
and MIR. Perkins claim as belonging
thereto, is a matter that concerns only
himself. He can be an F. +. V. forty
times over as far Ms an IuahOan is con
cerned.
Waters, the republican nominee for
district attorney, is having heiIlsh time
explaining how he will fulfill his many
pledges made at the Bellevue convention
The triangular fight PROMISED to he Il
lasting one, and Waters, IN order to Cal,
ture the prize, hy breaking the dead lock,
made promises promiscu"usIy, which he
can no more keep than Slnyiser kept his
multitude of promises to asplrants few
years ago. Waters IS still, wire pulling
politician from ''bieeding Kansas Pol
ltics is his legitimate business; lie knows
just enough law to he calie.i lawyer,
which entities him to u lawyers cnnsid-
Grafton He is chronic office seeker,
having been tor two or three terms IA
member of the Kansas legislature, Il
county Judge and n Federal office holder
here. Waters is always ready t. run for
anything in the gilt of the people Wa
ters, apparently, does everything from a
sactlmoniOus stand point, but after un-
earthing his schemes, the threadt'are pol
itician's dupicity is discerna.e ut every
turn. Waters expects the united efforts
of the Methodist Church, and his I'M
ported ''bieeding Kansas sufferers TO carry
him through. Report has it that when
Waters Was in the Haley land office, our
most valuable ranches -iumpabie ranches
and government lands were known to
Waters relatives away down in Kansas.
Some Of our best lands were filed on by
men direct from Kansas. They would
land in Haley by the morning train and
in twenty four hours time the filing would
he u matter of record. the Waters rel
alives from Kansas smeit the scent or the
good sol at distance of 1000 miles. 1t
"A rancher had not complied with the strict
letter of the law Waters relative smeit
the unfortunate ranchers mistake and
filed on the whole or any part he could
gnbble up. Practical illustrations Of this
statement can be had by applying to set
tiers living between Haley and Bellevue.
The Waters relatives have been well
looked after 10y having the inside knowl-
edge of valuable vacant lands, and valu
able jumpable claims.
The nomination of Guy Hammer for
recorder is looked upon as big Joke
Guy, HaiIey's postmaster, has always
been mug wump republican until he
shifted the breeze that gently b!OWed from
the auditor aud recorders office. So en-
thusiastic was Guy over Cleveiand's NOM
ination. that he, III company with several
of the "untelritied democracy" invested
So in Cleveland hat. Guy, being good
looking young man, made very credit
able appearance beneath the hat. and was
much admired by the ladies as lie peeked
through the general delivery. Guy IS a
good boy and we are sorry to see SO nice
a boy put up to he shot full OF holes with
paper balls next November.
Dr. r. Muuror. candidate on the re-
publican ticket for the legislature, ex
hibits great amount of presumption
He was naluralized before Judge Berry 5
court about three weeks ago. Now, is
It not presumption Of the highest order
for a naturaiiZed citizen of three weeks
growth, asking the suffrage ut the people
to place him in position to make their
laws The generosity of our laws al
lows any foreigner. after five years resi-
dence, to swear allegiance to our country
and become an American citizen. But II
was never the intention Ot the law tiat
naturailzed citizens of mushroom exIs
tence should tie parties in making laws
governing bona tide citizens OF America.
We believe that foreigners should he res
i,ients of America ten years before being
Admitted 10 citizenship. 1t requires time
for their allegiance to their mother c"un
try to wear off, AMI requires equally as
tong time to learn oar laws governing
citizenship. Ii foreigner remains IN
America for ten years his lot is cast with
Us, ami ninety nine times OUT III nun
drei his bones go back to dust ON Amer
lean soil.
Mr. Monroe, we have no sympathy IN
your election We want you t" remain
in America long enough to tell us "why
you are rcpublcau;" and We wish you
10 remain long enough to tell US "wh"
was our first Pres dent" There was an
American named Andrew jackson Did
YOU ever hear of MIN. Mr.. Monroe And'
Mr.. Monroe, did you ever hear of Thomas
Jefferson, John Quincy Adams. Abraham
Lincoln? Again, MIR. Monroe, did Dan
lei Webster. Henry Clay, John q. Cal
houn, Thomas Benton, Stephen A. Doug
lass, practice medicine ar preach Z what
was their stock III trade to earn llveil
hood And. Mr.. Monroe, one more quts'
tim: Which army won. the army com
map,ied by General Monitor, or the one
commanded by General Merrlmac
Yon see, Mr. Monroe, II IS necessary tc
he full hedyed citizens and knew some
thing about the history of our country III
order to pass examination IN American
history, Be citizen long enough, Mr.
Monroe, to he in full harmony with our
institutions and our laws, before you
promise to make laws for the government
of full tledged Americans.
