NEVER CORRECT THEIR OWN FALSE
HOODS.

HOODS.
We are gravely told by that sheet (the
Reta5lican) that the method of calling the
county conventions was an "unheard of
proceeding" 1t was, eh? Shepard
bosses knew better, OF they are even big
ger fools than we have credited them
with being. For instance, on Saturday,
July II, 1886, the Republicans in the
different townships of Trego county held
caucuses, and selected delegates to the
county judicial convention, which had
been called for July "a, 1886: and to the
regular county convention which was to
be held on August % of the same year.
This action on the part of the county
central committee in assigning to last
Saturdays caucuses the selection of del
egates to two county conventions is SINH
lar in every material feature TO the action
OF the county central committee in the
summer of 1886. The fellows who have
been leading the fight against Tilton's
friends this summer were Sin that dear'
two years ago. The hbeling of the
county central committee and its able
chairman at this time is of a sameuess
with the mo precedent" babble.-lW WEST
ERN KANSAS WORLD, July q, 1888.
The unheard Of proceeding
charge appeared in the Republican
Of July 1.-two days before the
party caucuses. In simple justice
to the demands of a people who
want the truth, that paper should
have admitted its error as publicly
as it had made the charge. It
never has done anything Of the
kind. Its bosses, Of course, would
not permit such step.
This plan of false statement is
yet carried on by the ring outfit.
The ringsters' campaign motto is
clearly emblazoned on the skies of
Trego county. 1t is: "Charge ev-
erything; stop to prove nothing.

We are in receipt of neat little book,
bearing the authorship of NJ. E. Dixon,
county clerk of Ellis county. Its aim Is
to be compilation of the more important
parts of the official records of that county.
The people of that county ought to ap-
preciate such work. To them, it is of
value. In fact, such a pamphlet, if it is
devoted principally to Ellis county, would
be of interest to every live Kansan.

CAMPAIGN KERNELS.
How Matters in Trego County Look
from the Outside.

They are having faction fight in
Trego county, and Col Tilton, lifelong
Republican, is in bed with the Democ-
racy.-[ Ness City Times.
The Times permits its Repub-
licanism to sway its judgment in
stating the case up here. Tilton
has accepted the nomination for
representative at the hands of the
Peoples Convention. He did this,
not at the solicitation Of the Dem
ocrats, but Of scores Of the best
Republicans in this county. The
Democrats then endorsed the action
Of the Peoples Convention. If this
puts us sin bed with the Democra-
cy," we simply answer that we are
following a well-established prece-
dent in this county. For years, the
Democracy Of this county, in meet
ing in county convention, has en-
dorsed portion Of the Republican
county ticket. There has been no
kicking at it by the Republicans
who have been thus endorsed-that
is, not since in 1880, when the writer
was defeated for district clerk be-
cause he gave the Democrats to
understand that he did not want
their endorsement Of his Republic
can nomination. Do you ask if we
have learned something since then?
We have. We have learned that it
is the plausible star-chamber pre-
varicator, and not the honest Re-
publican partisan, who is apt to
receive the biggest vote at an cleo
ton. We are proud Of our endorse
ment this season, and this in spite
of the glowing fact that we are
safe in counting on a majority of
the Republican votes on November 6!
