crosses and dcvelopes more Rim,
maneuvering. The Haley Rims
has discovered its fatal error and il
explaining how it happened tina
Haley captured the entire payin,
nominations for the republica1
ticket. They are also apologizinI
on all sides for this gluttony. Sew
eral of the Ring visited US during
the past week and informed US tina
the republican delegates to tn.
Bellevue convention are perfectly
satisfied with the ticket, and fur
Their, that no republicans, outside
of HALEY, aspired to get payins
nominations.
Now, are these broadcast state
ments true? Let US see. The Rims
manipulated the temporary organ
ization, the Ring captured the per
manent organization, and the Ring
by combination, gave five nomina
tons for the legislature to places
too far away from Haley to be o.
much Importance, and thereby
walked off with the entire paving
nominations.
Yes, the republican members OF
the convention are satisfed-Yes
of course,-they have to be; they
went into the convention, got "done
up" and, like the little boy with a
pain in his stomach, they have to
take their medicine. There were
many aspirants outside of Haley
who wanted nominations, and it is
a most palpable untruth to state
that only aspirants were from Hal
ley-the headquarters of the Ring,
1t is useless to repeat their names
the proceedings Of the convention,
published in all the county papers,
give the names of all the innocents
sacrificed by the Ring for the greater
honor and glory of Haley.
RING COMMITTEE WORK.
The republican central commit
Tee, like the convention, is under
Ring management. General Riley,
;ommander-in- chief, is at the head,
and Colonel Picotte, the commander
Of the Sucker wing, is secretary.
The General and the Colonel are
brothers in-law. 1t became neces-
sary for the Ring to have an organ
10 do its dirty work under cloak of
and the Times was
the selected organ. So Picotte was
made a member of the county COM
and is made to hail from
Camas. Who ever heard of Picotte
living on Camas? Poor Camas
Why are you thusly afflicted? Is
there no one living on Camas that
has the responsibility CD of Picotte
No, the Ring had use for picotte' 5
Times and took him into full fell
lowship. To cap the climax. Pi-
cote is made secretary. Great
Doodle scheme! Picotte gets his
work in by making his organ the
republican puff organ for the cam
paign of 1888. Picotte never gets
left when there's dollar in sight /;
be is too much of Hungarian.
There is about as much republican
SIN in him as there is in an old,
strong boot; it takes grease" to
Keep it stuffed into him, He is a
bird class comedian of the Hun
yarian stripe-an elegant (?) dose
or honest Americans and respecta-
bly, naturalized citizens to swallow.
The Hungarian style is: "You
pays your monish and you gets big
oulfs." But, remember, it takes
'monish."
The News Miner, true-blue re-
publican paper, is kicked aside by
he Ring. And, while the Hunga-
ian is receiving orders from the
poodle HALEY nominees at the rates
# % to so copies each for general
circulation, the News Miner gets
Cup. The Doodle nominees have
xtra superfne puffs. It takes
doodle, or the Hungarian wouldn't
'e thar" In the campaign two
ears ago, a Hungarian jumped the
rack and was gotten on again with
'ut the aid of jackscrews; it took
grease "yaller grease" Native
'orn American citizens, Yankee re-
'ublicans ola quarter of century's
landing, like the Richards, of the
Sews- Miner, get cold soup from the
Ring. When George Richards was
citing the republican ticket, this
hungarian was on foreign soil and
Iidn't know there was such a place
s America-"the home ofthe brave
nd the land of the free"
A GREAT BOOMERANG (?).
The Hungarian published the fol-
owing as "paralyzer" for Sheriff
Kinney. The Hungarian is like the
Id lady after a flee. She got her
humb-to all intents and purposes
on the flee. But, on raising her
numb, the flee wasn't there. The
hungarian paid puff-organ says:
The average annual amount of Ii
ense tax collected by Sheriff Furey
uring his four-year term of Office
,as $21 900; the average amount
