POLITICAL NOTES.
Phoenix Continues to Worry the HALEY
Ring---Monroe Takes a Tumble.

tee have taken tumble to the Rim
dictation in Bellevue, and hav
compelled Monroe, the citizen Q
three weeks growth, to resign from
the ticket, and have placed Ira S
Waring, of Camas-one of tn
Rings victims who aspired for leg
islative honors from the late repub
lican convention. The Ring acqui
esced in the committees course
because it had to. Their reason
given for compelling Monroe t.
withdraw is, he is ineligible on &C
count of not being citizen Ions
enough. But, the true reason is
Monroe was dead duck; there
wasn't the least possibility of his
being elected-citizens of primitive
growth are unfit to make laws fol
full-blooded and full-fedged natu
rallied American citizens. If Mon
roe had even prospective chance
Beatty would have produced an
other legal opinion. Vale, Vale
Monroe
kinney's election is generally
conceded. He has made frst-rate
sheriff, and is a frst-class' gentle
man. No one can lay at Kinney's
door any act of dishonesty in Off
cial or private life. Kinney came
west in 1876. He served as a hod
carrier, brick maker and miner in
Colorado, and as brakeman and
railroad conductor in Idaho. Kin
ney is laboring man, and has the
sympathy of the entire laboring
classes. His most active support
ers are day laborers. The re-elec-
ton of Kinney is an Endorsement
of tried and a true officer.
The Hungarian is getting to be
somewhat modest. He is modest
in behavior, general demeanor, and
extremely modest with his "smut
mill" Some one made an allusion
in the News Miner, to passing law
to cut out mems tongues. This,
with the showing up by Phoenix,
put a quietus on him. The Hun
garian is great worshipper at the
altar of the Almighty Dollar. Let
the coincidence of the Hungaro-
Spanisho-stylo see the cart-wheel
of 412 grains, and he is ready to do
the bidding Of the devil. Yes, the
Hungarian representative from
Camas has captured the republican
Doodle and gracefully paid $50 to
the county papers to publish the
Ring ticket.
1t is said that James H. COM
pletely routed the confederates and
slaughtered the Mormons on the
banks of Smoky, near the King of
the West mine. The rout and
slaughter was great; it required all
of Bierbower's and Burners time
to take care Of the wounded. High
Private Guy" was a quiet specta-
tor of the blood and carnage; Low
Private Burkhart, the great fighter
with the jawbone Of an ass" re-
treated at the first fire; he is still
retreating; he will stop Nov. 7th.
Settlers, who know, state that J.
5. Waters sons-in-law, brothers-in-
law, step-sons, nephews, ETC., have
fled On the choicest lands in Wood
River valley. And, it is also cur
'ently reported, that after making
inal proof and payment for the
ands, the land turned up as prop
,rty of J. S. Waters. Waters evil
lently made big thing out of the
Kansas relatives to the detriment
If the honest settlers. Whenever
! man as a Receiver of a u. S. Land
Office comes out with the choicest
ands and has his very numerous
elatives supplied with choice
anches, person concludes that
there is something rotten in Den
mark"
