We suspect that our local republican contemporary has net yet become ac- customed to walking in the sunlight of day-it yet sees things darkly as it did when it burned the. midnight gas. We are led to this suspicion by the fearfully constructed and wonderfully made ed itorial in last evenings issue that lays at the doors of the democrats all the op- position the Henney-Hotchkiss bill has encountered in the state. It reminds Us of the boy who cried wolf when there was no wolf.
 Evidently our dazzled contem porary hasn't heard that Governor Bulkeley vetoed this bill on the very grounds which it claims are an insult to the workingmen of the state. It is quite evident that it has failed to keep posted on the doings of the republican senate which sustained the republi- can governors veto of this bill that was to make impossible s'the campaign methods which Will liam H. Barnum used to employ" fire we to infer that Governor Bulkeley and his republican associates would re- sort to the methods which our contem- porary evidently had in mind? No, perish the thought. The unco' righteous Morgan G. is not the kind of man to stoop to unclean methods. Our contemporary evidently forgot, in the excitement of itsseffort to smear the democratic party, that at the hearing before the judiciary committee on Tues day most of those who appeared in op- position to a secret ballot were republi- can leaders, two of them being those canonized political saints Lynde Harri- son and Hugh Daley, chairman of the republican town committee in New Haven. It hasn't noticed-or if it has it has failed to profit by its observation that Chairmen Hall and Glover, repub- lican leaders of the judiciary con- mittee, have declared in favor of putting over the secret ballot question to the next general assembly, while the democratic members of the committee continue in favor of the Henney bill. And finally it seems to have escaped the notice of our rattled contemporary what is patent to everybody else, that the whole secret ballot tiasco was in ac- cordance with a we'll understood plan to defeat the fulfillment of the republican party's pledge last fall that it favored ..such legislation as will provide for the compulsory secrecy of the ballot and se- cure free suffrage and an honest count of ballots throughout the country"
 If there is anything of point in our contemporary,s criticism of the oppo- nents of the Henney Hotchkiss bill it ap- plies to Governor Bulkeley, who vetoed it, and the republican senate, which sus-

SENATOR INGALLS, HERE.

Senator John j. ingalls, spoke to a
tair-siZed audience in this city yester-
day afternoon, in Thompson's opera
house. This was to haYe been the grea-
test political event in the history of the
county; but it was not. There were
about as many democrats and indie
pendents present as there were repub-
licans, and nearly half of the audience
was made up of women and children.
The senator was introduced by Chester
l. Long, and he, the senator, announced
that he was here by summons of the
| senatorial executive committee of this
district to give reasons why Mr.. Long
should be elected state senator, He
then proceeded with his speech to the
extent of one hour and a half, but If he
even produced one argument for Mr..
Longs election, no one heard it. But
the senator did indulge in any amount
of self-landation, congratulations and
| compliments, telling what a great man
he, In calls, was, and it may be that he
intended to convccyy the impression that
if Mr.. Long was elected he would vote
for him, ingalls,. However, that is not
an argument that will take here in Bar
Der county.
Senator Ingalls, shook the bloody
shirt; he pictured the great outrages
committed in the south; claimed that
Cleveland was never elected; dipped
very lightly in an alleged tariff talk
attempted to show that the Barber
county sorghum sugar interest Would be
destroyed by free trade and that the
salt industry would stop; declared him.
self unalterably opposed to civil service
reform; declared that had he been cleo.
| ted president, before the sun would
have gone down March 4th, that every
democratic head would have dropped
III basket while the blood would have
run through the sawdust on the floor
declared that he had been a persistent
office-seeker for sixteen years; said
that perhaps Corporal Tanner had shot
| off his mouth too much, though in a
good cause, and again impressively, he
begged the republicans not TO vote
against any man on the ticket from top
to bottom.
The address was not mastery. 1t
was so full of egotism, false conclus-
ions, mis-statements and bosh that it
had no effect. The delivery was good,
but it did not make any converts and
the speech did drive the independents
clear away from the republican party;
it was an actual injury to Mr.. Longs
chances. So Mr.. ingalls, visit was a
succession the democrats.

Outside of running Kiowa badly in
debt and voting bonds on the townships
of southeastern Barber county, Jim
Dobson has neyef done anything for
Barber county. In fact he was through
with the county last spring and went
with his family TO Oklahoma, took lots
in Reno City; but came back when he
found that the republican bosses were
determined to have a Kiowa man for
sheriff instead of one of the soldiers who
were candidates. Charlie Taliaferro
had served more months in the union
army than any man ia che county; John
Wheat had done more hard work for the
party than any other republican In the
county and received less reward but
these men were laid aside and Dobson
taken up just because he was thought
to be solid at Kiowa. In this calcula
ton, however, the republican bosses
will find themselves badly mistaken.
He will not carry Kiowa because the
people there do know him and he will
not carry the country precincts because
they do not know him. He has not one
real qualification for the Office of sheriff

MIR. ROUSE AND MR.. PECK.

It is fact, notorious now through
out every valley and on every hill il
Barber county, that w. Il. Rouse, re
publican candidate for reelection a.
county clerk, has been regularly draw
ing a salary at the rate of 81 500 pei
year, when he was, by law, entitled t.
but 81 200. 1t is equally as we'll known
that E. b. Peck, republican candidate
for reelection as county treasurer, ha:
drawn $500 more salary than the Law
allows, for he has drawn $1,000, wheI
he was entitled to but 81, 500.
These are not mere assertions, but
they are cold facls. The law is plair
on the subject. 1t says that when the
population OF the county is 1900 and
less than 10000, the clerk shall receive
a salary of 81 200 and the treasurer a
salary of 81 500. Yet it is an undispu,
ted fact that Mr.. Rouse has been draw
ing SIPS month and Mr.. Peck has
been drawing S166.66 per month.
Then we ask the voters and taxpayers
of Barber county if they propose to re.
elect these men in the face of these
glaring facts Will you encourage mel
TO draw money from the county treas
ury to which they are not entitled !
Will you re-elect men who knowingly
willfully and deliberately violate the
law and subject themselves to punish
ment under the statutes of this state I
These are serious questions and every
man owes it to himself to study them
well. No matter how good a fellow Mr..
Rouse is; no matter how accOmmoda-
ting Mr.. Peck is, they have received il
legal fees and if the ballot should ever
be used to stamp out wrong, now is the
time to inaugurate it.
For fear that some may say that
the statements made herewith are not
correct, we refer the reader to the fact
that the population of Barber county is
but 8, 200 and no man can successfully
deny this. That being the case, we re-
ter the reader then to section II, chap
ter 80, revised statutes of 1885 and to
section q of the same chapter. These
sections of law fix the salaries of the
clerk and treasurer as stated above.
What will you do about it, voters and
Taxpayers of Barber county?
Senator Ingalls, did not mention this
in his speech; but perhaps he did not
know it.

The voters OF this commissioner dis
trict will make no mistake if they elect
J. NJ. Reagin as their commissioner.
He is in every way qualified for the Of
fee, where his opponent is ib every way
disqualified. Mr. Reagin is an abso-
luiely sober man, Yhiie we understand
that Mr.. Cool cannot claim such q viz
tue. Mr.. Reagln never gets on spree
and he is therefore to be relied on when
great interests are at stake. Mr.. Rea-
GIN IS the creature of no bank or corpo-
ration and his domination was not
asked for or obtained by any bank in
fluence. Neither is he servant, tool or
property of any clique of individuals.
He is III the campaign free from pledges
and alliances; he wears no mans collar
on his neck and no mans ring IN his
nose. Tkose who have known him long
est like him best. Those who know him
bsst are hIs strongest supporters.

IL. A. Burnett is moral, upright
Christian gentleman; he has been iden-
tilted with Barber county since 1880; he
was the choice of the leading men in
the county and he is not in any way res

nomination. A vote for Burnett will
DE vote for a competent, honest, up
right citizen.
