4 MISTAKE.

W. s. Tilton. the editor of the Wa

Keeney district, is an independent candi-
date for reelection. hr. Tilton was a
candidate before the Republican conven-

The Commonwealth has always treated
us fairly. We have no doubt of its de-
sire to do so now. We were not a cand;-
date at the county convention. We are
the candidate of the Peoples Convention
for representative. Our candidacy is
based upon the wish of our Republican
friends, who include more than one-half
of that party in this county. These
friends claim that Tilton was trlcked out
of the so-called straight Republican NOM

FOR FREEDOM FROM RING RULE.

In the peoples convention in Wa
keeney, last Saturday, Hon. W. s. Tilton
was nominated for representative. This
Is the outcome of the efforts of certain
ring OF Trego county Republicans to run
the party in their own way, and without
regard to the wishes of the people in the
matter. This ring is said to be composed
mostly OF new men who do not think the
old settlers are capable of attending to
political matters, and are therefore
dubbed "Old wads," and frozen out of
the party councils. It is altogether prob
able that Colonel Tilton will be reelected
this fall, as he has been about the only
representative Trego county ever had
whose services were worth "tinker's
d-m." We wish the "old wads' success
in their efforts to free themselves from
the rule of the ring Afalbyook Democrat,
-.
We would be less than human if
we failed to appreciate the above
handsome notice. Mi. Singrey. of
the Democrat, worked on the WORLD
last fall and portion Of the winter.
He knows the situation down here,
and paints it with the hand Of an

Western Kansas world., 1888-09-15

In making an investigation after facts
In this polite al canvass, we recommend
that business rules be applied. For
instance, did Tilton do his duty in the
legislature? Did he accomplish any
thing for Trego county? Did the bulk
OF the Republicans desire his return?
Was he swindled out of the Republican
nomination by set of ringsters in Wa
Keeney who set decency aside? Can
Republicans afford to kick and stab an
officer at the end OF his first term. if he
hes been faithful and efficient? These
are suggestions merely. Every voter
should make up tie mind to answer them
with his ballot. OF the verdict, if rem
dered with calraness and courage. there
can be no doubt. and we have not q par
ticle Of fear. The whole of the Peop,e,s

taken It upon themselves to control abso-
lutely the political machinery of Trego
county. The people of the county have
taken up the case against the ring.
The Common ue1KA knows whether
Tilton is Republican. It has reason to
know that the proyocation must be very
great which would lead him to oppose
any ticket labeled Republican.
We have the right to judge that boiling
party nominations is not always crime,
because Captain Hanna, some years ago,
bolted the nomination of Mr.. Sampson,
OF the Salina 5onrnal, when the latter
was the Republican nominee for state
senator in that district.

He spoke as an educated gentleman,

W. E. Saum, the nominee for dis

marks, thanked the convention for
his nomination.
D. P. Eversole, the nominee for
county commissioner in the second
district, returned thanks to the con-
vention for the honor conferred upon
him.

THE Republican "forgets" to note the
number of sold wads" in last Saturdays
convention. 1t also forgets to state that
the Democratic vote for the combine"
stood 40 for to 3 against, and this after
the best work possible had been done to
create schism. Our contemp. should
not let such trifing thing as self inter-
est intervene to prevent its giving the
news with accuracy The number of
working 'old wads" present was not
less than 15o. Add to these those who
were compelled to stay at home, but
whose hearts are with the cause, and it is
easy to figure out definitely the result on
November 6.

THE Ref"N,oam's personal denunciation
of men who are associated with the Re-
publican side of the Peoples movement
will be boomerang. They ask no quar-
ters, and, like men in any just cause, are
thoroughly equipped for the fray. The
people of the county are not yet prepared
for approving of indecent assaults upon
old, respected citizens by mere sdven-
turer. Nor is the case of the attacking
party strengthened by the ring to which
he lopks for protection.

CONGRATULATIONS, OLD BOT.
The Renublicnn of this week con-

The Republican of this week con-
tains some gems Of thought which
make it the best number ever issued
from that Office. These are QUOTA
tions from W. S. Tilton against
boiling. We believe in them with
all our heart, or we never would
have written them. Now, our
friend Of the Republican, Of course,
knows it to be a rule Of logic that
an occasional exception to a rule
proves the correctness Of the rule it
self. The rule Of Mt. Vesuyius is to
be quiet, but its eruptions, at wide
intervals, are, like the present Peo-
pies movement in this county, proc
esses OF Nature, and full OF busi-
ness. When that paper finds in the
WORLD sen timent which denoun-
ces a man for bolting his party
nominations upon the ground Of
generally-recognized fraud, then
there viii be something in the point
which it would make against US.
We have been consistent and fair in
politics, and this Peoples movement
is now an army on a victorious
march because small ring has
sought to take into its hands the ex-
elusive control Of the politics Of this
county.
We have told what makes the Re-
publican Of this week shine. Now
we have to tell what partially dims
its Iustre. 1t says every speaker at
the Peoples Convention charged
Captain Hanna and his friends with
fraud at the Republican primaries.
Tilton. according to our recollection,
did not mention Captain Hanna's
name. The captain is not politi-
cal hustler, and we never have in
tended to accuse him personally Of
having taken hand in those
frauds. That his ring friends did
wilfully deceive large number Of
voters, thereby changing the will of
the people to the will OF that ring,
is well-known throughout the coun-
ty, or our Republican friends never
would have invited US to go into
this movement with them. A mat
ter which is so generally known as
this fraud business is always justi-
fes the plaintiffs in using their own
judgment as to the time Of taking
the case into court.
The Republicans attempts at the
belittling personating Of Republic
cans in the Peoples movement will
do them no harm. The movement
is forward, and every unjust asper-
sion against one Of its organization
will recoil upon the head of the
utterer.

Primitive Mining in Honduras.

During my travels in Honduras last year, I
found, situated several days journey in the
interior, mine that was discovered in 1S47
by q native who has since continued to work
it. but in slow and inefficient manner The
old miner has driven seven tunnels. or rather
levels, averaging each about 70 yards long,
about feet high and about feet wide. The
distance vertically between the levels is
about 20 feet; the several levels are con-
nected by independent shafts about feet by
feet, situated at different points, descend
ing from level to level, each an average of
say % feet Thus the total length of the
seven levels equals total of 400 yards, and
the total depth Of the seven shafts Of 20
feet each equals 20 feet.
Until the last eight years this native
worked his mine for silver only without any
assay He then discovered that he was
throwing away much more value in gold than
he saved in silver His only mode of extract
ing the gold has been, and is, by carrying thu
ore out of the mine in sack TO huge bowlder
on the surface, in which is cut a concavitv
something larger than hat crown in size.
Another round bowlder fits into this cavity,
and is worked by a wooden handle mortised
into its top The dirt and rock from the
mine is rather soft 1t Is easily pulverized in
this primitive manner, then washed and the
gold gathered by quicksilver. The magni-
trde of the work accomplished by this old
man during the last forty years, in his poor
way, is simply incredible, for he has done it
all himself with a single bar of iron. The
natives never use powder for mining, but 90
all their work with short iron bar. If the
work cannot thus be done they invariably
abandon the mine.-Col E. II. Powers in
