WE HAVE been told by several
parties that Nimicks, the mud-slinging
stump orator for the opposition, said in
his speech at Claf1in last week, that Mr..
Krause paid Mr.. Moore, the expert,
$3.50 to straighten up Krause's books
and start them right" There never
was bigger nor more groundless lie
manufactured by any political lick
spittle of the Nimicks stripe. No one
of good sense will believe it, and no
one but such pettifogging jackanapes
as the stump speaker referred to would
pursue such a course in making cam
paign against an honest and efficient
officer

A Word in Denial.
Editor DnGocRAr.

DEAR SIR:-On Oct. 6. 1889, thu
German-Americans of this count!
celebrated the anniversary of the lant
ing of the first Germans in the U.
which is too well understood for me Z
writea lengthy explanation in this let
ter; but the editor of the Great Bend Reg
lister comes out on the following Thurs
day, Oct. 10th, with a slanderous article
which was so utterly untrue that
considered it my duty as German.
American citizen to ask correction OF
said article. So ON the day of the
republican county convention to elect
delegates to the senatorial convention
to be held at Sterling, being delegate
to said convention, I made it point to
fsee Mr.. Charles, editor of the LEICESTER,
and asked him to publish a correction
t'ef said article, to which he replied he
would see Chapman abontit.7 i have
been looking for said correctionIin the
Register, but it appears that either Mr..
Charles has forgotten to speak to Chap
man or Chapman has refused said re-
traction or correction. I now desire
you, Editor DEMOCRAT, to publish for
me this declaration: That said article
in the Register of Oct. 10th is false, and
is done for the purpose of creating a
false impression concerning the -pur-
poses OF said anniversary in every par
ticular. If the editor of the Register
had shown willingness to correct the
misstatements made in his criticism,
when requested to do so by reliable men
who told him of his error, would be
inclined to think he had been misin-
formed in the first place, but az it now
stands / believe the thing was done for
a false purpose. When he states that
the meeting was for political purpose,
.he states falsehood; when he states
that 1.-The orators at that celebration got
their inspiration from the Kansas City
Times" he states falsely; when he
states tnAt the speeches were made to
influence any votes, he states falsely;
when he refers TO that celebration as
one of ''those Sunday picnics, where
beer is free,' he willfully tries to create
a wrong impression Of the conduct of
that meeting to the disgrace of all Ger
man Americans. His whole criticism,
from top to bottom, is cowardly, false,
and unjust to all German-Americans,
and as one of them have no more use
for cuoh u follOW
Now Mr.. Editor of the DEMOCRAT
1 desire you will find room for this in
your paper. as it is my sentiments, and
I think it will be agreed to by all Ger
who attended the Gel
ebration on the 9Th of October. The
article in the Register is an insult to all
German-Americans,a and was also done
to work up feeling of prejudice
against our citizens of that nationality.
A German American, who signs his
name,
Respectfully Yours,
MARTIN MUsIL.

CONCERNING the two candidates
before the people for county clerk, w.
E. Carr possesses no essential qualifica-
tion that is superior to D. R. Jones, the
present clerk. The books of Mr.. Jones
show that a neat and careful hand has
had the managing of them; the board
of county commissioners, and each
individual member of said board,
acknowledged that Mr.. Jones has made
q careful and painstaking clerk, and
that he has not neglected his duty in
any particular. 1t is in very bad taste
for the opposing candidates to claim
that the present officers are iii ANY wise
lax in their duties or unable to attend
to them properly. The books of the
county all prove such accusations false.

PAY no attention to the false charges
of the republican political strikers and
wire pullers. They cannot prove any
of them, and as they have waited until
the close of the campaign to circulate
such charges our candidates have not
time to follow such political assassins
around and personally disprove their
charges. Rest assured that if the
fellows could prore the charges they so
literally make they would do it too
quick. But its all ''shoot mouth" all
done to gull the credulous, and we
doubt not will amount to nothing IN
the end.

large and powerful and led the dogs a
long chase. The Cheyenne plains were
in excellent condition, the rains of the

ground and taken: away the brittle,

Another County Heard From.


Another County Heard From.
There seem to be those who would
rather not tell the truth if they can
help it. "A case in band is the Great
Bend Register. It stated some time ago
that Judge Bailey was nominated at a
peoples convention here, in which
neither Stafford nor Barton had a
representation. We pointed out the
fact then that Judge Bailey was not
nominated at that convention, but
simply asked to become candidate
the same as hundreds of individuals
have since done-and pledged its sup
port. notwithstanding the Register
last week reiterated the statement
knowing it to be false. 1t also says the
Judge dosen't know what party he
belongs to; that he oscillates from one
side of the fence to the other. The
Register will learn quite different from
this if it will come down in Rice county
and make inquiries. He was formerly
a democrat, but he long since ceased to
be partisan, and now votes and talks
for what he believes to be right,
irrespective of party-and no man can
accuse him of being two-faced on the
subject. He talks to democrats
exactly as he talks to republicans,
union laborities, prQhibitionists and all
other parties-and no honorable man
in Rice county will say differently.
The Register will learn there will be
nothing made against Judge Bailey by
Misrepresentation Democrat.

The Southern Kansas Farmers
Association will hold meeting at
Wichita on the 18th of December for
the sole purpose of discussing the mat
ter of early seed corn. Last year this
organization procured good quantity
of early seed corn and used it, and a
comparison of individual experiences
has made the members of the associa-
ton more firm in the belief that an
earlier variety of corn will greatly bene-
fit southern and western Kansas. Ar
rangements will be made to procure a
large quantity of early corn for seed,
and by thus buying in large quantities
they will get corn for 80 to 40 cents per
bushel that they would have to pay
$1.OO a bushel for in small lots. 1t
would be good plan for our farmers
to unite in the same manner for the
same purpose. Barton county is all
right for corn. The main point seems
to be to get in early and have it ma
ture early.

letter from Mr.. Martin Musil, of Elm

of the Register that the German cele-
bration held on the 9Th inst. was in any
way political affair. This gentleman
requested Charles to correct the mis-
statements made in his article of the
10th inst, and the answer given by
Charles was that he 'swould see Chap
man about it," Nothing further hav-
ing been heard of the matter in that
paper, the gentleman publishes his let
ter in the DEMocR4T.. There. is no
doubt in the, minds of.any one but that
the Register article was written for a
purely political purpose, without any
regard to the truth in the matter or
the injustice done to the Germans of
this county.
