~REPUBLICAN BOODLE,

The Pittsburg Dispatch is a strong.
high tariff Republican paper, which,
though Republican in politics, is a great
newspaper, nevertheless, and publishes all
legitimate news. This much by way of
introduction to the following telegram
which appeared in the Dispatch on
Oct. Is.
New YORK, Oct. lit is reported
that the campaign committee of one hun
dred of the Union League club has raised
500, 900 for use in this city on election
day. When the committee met at the
club house on Oct. II Chairman John f.
Plummer requested the members to re-
main for a little while after the regular
adjournment was ordered. MI. Plummer
then said it was necessary to raise $780,
600. This sum is in addition 20 the cor
ruption fund of 5000, 900 raised by M.
S. Quay. Mr.. Legrand B. Cannon is
said to have subscribed 50, 200. Mr..
SelIeman, of the committee, subscribed
$1,000 and pledged nineteen different
subscriptions of a like amount, making in
all $50, 900 through Mr.. Seligman. This
sum, it is intimated, will be put where it
can do the most good for Harrison. This
money is to be kept in reserve until cleo
ton day, and then it is to be put in circu-
ton,

Il have somewhat against thee" In a

When in 1880 or 81 | was surveying a
line for a county road l wrote a friend
that it transacted" Whalen canyon and
the valleys of the North Platte

We offer our apologies to Mr.. provinces

EVERY person who knows anything
about the subject at all. knows that the

is performed in the committee rooms.
There the various committees sit around a

informal way, the delegates interested in
any matter pending, participating in the
talk and explaining what they want. Bills
for territories are not passed by force of

The LEADER of yesterday morning,
in an editorial, makes the startling an
nouncement that the county taxes this
year are l94 mills on the dollar Our
esteemed contemporary is wrong, or 1t is
a typographical error. The county taxes
are only II mills this year, which is the
same as last year. The law plainly states
that the county tax cannot exceed l6
mills, and if the taxes are as high as THE
LEADER claims it would be a direct viola
ton Of the aw.'-EUenng Tribune.
To a great extent this is a case of split
ting hairs. The taxation this year, for
all purposes, is 25 96-lOO mills. OF this
amount 6 2l-109 mills are assessed for
territorial purposes. The remainder is
divided up as follows: County tax II
mills, county school tax 2 mills, school
district No. l Al mills, railroad
bonds for the building of
the Cheyenne & Northern road %, max
ing in all l9} mills which the people of
this county and school district pay for
purely local purposes. The distinction
which We have tried to make, and which
the Republican organ is e~ndeavoring to
keep from the people, is that the largely
increased taxation is not due TO increased
county expenses, but to the taxation for
maintaining the public schools and the
territorial institutions.

have kept himself securely in the back
ground. AS a candidate for an office OF
comparative insignifcance he would know
that the very insignifcance of his aspira-
tions would have kept him from attack
when there was so much larger game In
the field openly inviting attention.
What does Mr.. Adams do? His nomi-
nation has scarcely been made before he
rushes into print with a card a column
long. In it he explains that he has been
a lifelong Republican, an dd interim Dem
ocrat, but is now a thoroughgoing Repub-
lican again. As a matter Of TACT the gen.
eral public never felt the throbbing inter
est in the matter which Mr.. Adams
ascribed to them, and for THE LEADERS
part it simply let the matter pass by with
out directing any special attention toward
Mr.. Adams or his see-saw record.
Not content with his continued immu-
nifty and with a blindness which is little
less than phenomenal, he again rushes
into print in last Sundays issue of the
Sun and thrusts himself into a fight
which does not concern him. The Re-
publican organ itself says never a word on
the subject but permits Mr. Adams to
make a garrulous cats paw of himself.
That Mr.. Adams could not see that he
was being made a cats paw Of to pull
chestnuts from the fire for other people is
the severest reflection that has yet been
made upon him, for it is a direct reflection
upon his own judgment and mental grasp
of a very plain proposition.
With such a public record as he has
made for himself it i'll becomes him to
c~riticise anybody, more particularly a man
like Perry Organ, who represented more
SOLID, t~axpaying Republicans than MIR.
Adams did and. unlike him, voted for
more than one bill on its merits.

ApnihiIating a Multiform Disease.

Miasmatic, or malarial, disease has
many forms. Physicians have, for the
sake of convenience and for the purpose
of indicating its most strongly marked
forms, subdivided it into intermittent and
bilious remittent fever, dumb ague and
ague cake. But it presents an infinite
variety of symptoms in different individ-
uals. Be these symptoms what they will,
always remember that Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters will annihilate them at the
outset, and prevent their recurrence. A
review of the proofs would convince any
one Of the fact. This, however, is impos.
sible because they are too numerous, and
unnecessary because the effects of this
grand anti malarial specific are a matter
of common knowledge. No less familiar
to the public are its remedial and pre-
ventive effects in bilious attacks, consti
patton, dyspepsia, incipient rheumatism,
debility and kidney troubles. 1t is more.
over, an excellent appetizer and tonic
n%ervine.

enemy invent about discussions and divis-
ions in our party. We are all united.

and the friends Of the national admins
tration are standing shoulder to shoulder,
arm in arm, and as sure as the election
day comes they will pile up a big majority
for Cleveland and Thurman. | know not

REMARKABLE

As a general proposition 1t may be
stated that a wise man upon entering
politics carefully locks up his pen and
places a strict guard upon his tongue.
This is particularly true in its application
to q~uarrels in which he has only an indi-
rect interest and in which he has not been
hit or ever incidentally referred to.
Now there is Mr.. Thomas B. Adams
who has helped to seal his political
damnation by his itch for scribbllng, and
his mania for seeing his name in print.
Mr.. Adams came to this section from
Brooklyn, n. Y, a few years ago. 1t
was reported of him then that he was an
independent in politics, but with Demo-
cratic leanings. At the Democratic con-
%vention held two years ago, his name was
mentioned in connection with the nominal
ton for county clerk, but as his political
record was somewhat dubious in its char
acter the matter never advanced beyond
an Industrious mention of his name in a
private way on the floor OF the conven-
ton. When the Republicans subsequent
ly met quite general surprise was created
when Mr.. Adams was given a place on
the legislative ticket. The strength which
Mr.. Adams could bring to himself, and
which he actually did bring to himself, as
secretary of the Stock Growers Associa-
ton, combined with an influential local
mountaineering secured his election.
Mr.. Adams is a young man OF consid-
cradle personal accomplishments. He is
equally at home in leading a prayer meet
ing or running a horse race, and it was
therefore expected of him that he would
make a decidedly good record for himself
in the legislature. But Mr.. Adams
lacked the essential element OF backbone.
Expediency rather than conviction gov
erned his career, and when it came to the
test instead of maintaining a conscien-
tious and Interchangeable attitude he de-
veloped the characteristics of a political
weathercock and trimmed his sails to catch
each favorable passing zephyr.
This was particularly noticeable in the
matter of the gambling bill. He ex.
pressed himself to dozens of people as
being opposed to the gambling bill and
yet subsequently voted and made a speech
in its favor.
When the Republican convention met
this year Mr.. Adams was a prominent
candidate for the place of county clerk.
He was attacked in convention because of
his mysterious political record and defeat
ed for the nomination. As a great many
nominations still renamed to be filed,
however, Mr.. Adams never lost his serene
confidence, Tor ne felt that sooner or later
he would catch on. He was next placed
in nomination for member of the terrific
rial council, but was showed under with a
cordiality which spoke volumes. Still he
didn't lose heart. He knew that ncmi-
nations for members of the house were
still open, and felt confident that some
friend would place his name again before
the convention. He was not %disappoint.
ed, and secured a place on the ticket by a
scratch vote.
Under all these circumstance a man
gifted with any political perception would
