such. chirps as naturally would bt
expected from that source.
Its heart had been thrown into {
flutter by our statement that the so
called local Republican victory II
this county last fall was no victory
at all. The futtering machine, with
the earmarks of being prompted, as
sumes the defensive; tells how We
supported ourself for presidential
elector in the year 1884, and backed
is. C. Robb for something out
side the county after that; states that
we promised Martin Allen the ap-
pointment of forestry commissioner;
reharps its old harp about the Re
publican party winning by such
huge majorities in this county last
fall; repeats S. C. Robb's treachery
to the party, and so on.
Well, now, we want to ask any
one of good sense, Why all this de-
fensive squirming is INDUCED in by
that organ if its crowd is ION top
and so happy? The fact is that, in
trying to keep their rotten bars up,
they are losing the whole fence.
For instance:
When Hon. Martin Allen backs
the statement that we ever promised
to see him made forestry commits
sioner, we shall have something
more to say of it than to brand it as
a dirty lie!
Every time the statement is made
that the Republican party in this
county consists Of the voters who
elected the local ticket last fall, just
so often are at least half the Repub-
licans Of Trego county provided
with renewed energy to use as a
weapon for the destruction Of ring
rule. Democratic votes elected
Captain Hanna last fall. Talk
about the unprecedented Republican
for the local county ticket!
Jim Legate virtually elected at least
a portion of the ring ticket in this
county last fall, and this fact is gen.
orally conceded by those of both
sides who are posted.
While we are on this subject, we
state that Mr.. Legate is our author
ity for stating that Captain Hanna
himself at Topeka, last
winter, as being favorable to Mr..
Robb's reappointment as forestry
Mr.. Legate himself,
knowing the circumstances in this
county, went to the governor, made
an urgent plea in behalf of his
reappointment, and stated that Robb
had acted manfully in standing by
such a friend as Tilton. Treachery!
Mr.. Robb helped make this republic
wholly free, and has in either of his
fingers or toes more Republicanism
than could be crowded into the
entirety Of G. j. Shepard's frame.
The Republican winds up its silly
screed with this quotation, fall
ing to give the credit therefor to the
WORLD, from which it was stolen:
Point to man of any prominence who
has made business of boiling the Re-
publican ticket. You can not do it. He
may have been prominent once, but he is
now worn out. 1t politically kills the
best Of 'em.
That is sound doctrine.
But Shepard can not see where
nectar come to the anti-ring Repub-
leans. All right. We will tell
him again. It comes from seeing
The flash in the pan as to Yetter's
appointment on ring pledges; from
The ring failures in controlling land
office appointments, and so on, &C
,ording to last falls chart, and from
he fact that the anti-ring men, who,
being on the outside, expected moth
ng, are really getting good deal
rom these sources; but it is gall for
he crew who are thus baffled.
