A Card from Mr.. Moore.

Mr.. EDIToR:-My attention has
been called to an article in an obscure
and contemplate sheet published in
one of the dirty cellars of Abilene, in
which article Mr.. j. J. Cooper, Mr..
Richard Waring and myself are objects
of considerable personal abuse. Just
why my name should be banded around
in such a promiscuous manner in a
newspaper controversy l am wholly I'M
able to understand. unless It be that
the stockholders of the REFLECTOR
Publishing Company have seen fit TO Sc.
lect me as their vice president.
am informed that the individual
who is now nominally editor of the
Chronicle was compelled to leave his
former home on account of his inherent
disposition to NEEDLE with that which
did not concern him, and that Geo.
Rohrer, who was just then in need of
such character, caught the fellow on
the fly as he was skedaddling through
Kansas. and placed him nominally at
the head of the Chronicle, there to ply

shall we do?' is question that tens
of thousands of farmers are asking
themselves today. The recent conven-
ton of cattle men that met in st. Louis
agreed unanimously that the power of
the ''big four" could be broken by
State Legislation, that each State
pass an inspection law making it TN
lawful to sell any beef that had not
been previously inspected by an inspec-
tor of the town or city, thus shutting
out the dressed beef men and setting to
work local butchers and so fixing it
that instead of three or fonr buyers in
this country there would be thousands
of them. Then the price of beef would
be regulated by supply and demand; it
would not be up five cents today and
down fifteen tomorrow.
1 believe these evils can be remedied
and as the Republican party will soon
have full control of this government
with all its branches, it will be held re.
spOnsible for the tlust given it. 1t has
ever championed the cause of the op.
pressed. Will our Congressman, Sena.
tors, and our Legislators take up this
fight for an oppressed people? There
is most certainly golden opportunity
to do good and aid the producing class
If the Republican party will speedily
remedy these evils, it will assuredly
have long lease of power; if not
these producers will demand a party
that will afford them relief.

way connived at the election of Mr..
Seeds is an unreasonable, baseless
contemplate falsehood, manufactured
out of whole cloth by the author of the
article. 1 may have, and probably did
remark the fact which was patent to
every man at all acquainted with the
politics of Dickinson county, that Mr..
Seeds would make hard fight for a
second term, and that the candidate
who received the Republican nominal
tion would not have walk-away; but
that l ever cOnnived at the election of
Democrat, or the defeat of Mr.. Peck,
or that l ever discouraged any person
whatever from seeking the Republican
nomination, is as base fabrication as
ever emanated from the Office of this
VIGOROUSLY unreliable and villainous
sheet in which the charge is made.
The motive which prompted the
article referred to is purely selfish
one. The article has the accustomed
arrogance of the political demogogue
in assuming to speak for the Republi.
can party. 1t attempts to restore these
two gentlemen to the favor of the party
by traducing the character of somebody
else. 1t is the appeal of cowardly
villain who would be willing to assassi
nate the character of private citizen
if thereby he might profit by the assas
sinatlon. 1t is the method of unprin
cipled men who care nothing for the
Republican party except as means tt
furnish them with political influence
for the distribution of political plum
der. 1t is the wall of once self-con
stituted leader who has been deposet
Oh account of his unworthiLess, ani
has become only camp follower.

The editor of the News is very angry
because the county commissioners
asked one of the REFLECTOR manage
ment to accompany them to Salina last
week. This is very easily explained.
The commissioners are all eminently
respectable and cultured gentlemen,
and when they go off on trip for BUSH
ness OF pleasure they always seek con-
genial associates to accompany them.
hence their preference for the society
of the REFLECTOR management. Now
If the commissioners were of the other
class of fellows, and wanted bottle
washer for the occasion, they would
probably have gone over to the News
Office,

I want to say in regard to the

they effect me individually they are a
series of unmitigated falsehoods and
must have been known to be false by

say that 1 was a friend to Mr.. NALL

any man who takes the pains to ask
him that my partner and myself were
among his most earnest and warmest
supporters. The gush aboutmy having
been candidate for district judge is
hardly worthy of reply. 1 was not a

support me for the position. Whether
