EDS. WESTERN KANSAS WoRLD:-A
"Tax payer" in the last issue OF the
Tribune quotes considerable law and asks
a few questions in italics. We are not a
lawyer and therefore will not attempt an
answer from legal standpoint. Besides.
we are satisfied that such an attempt
would be mere foolishness and waste Of
time and space. Similar attacks have
been made at, intervals, on Mr.. Hoar for
the past year and have been met and an
swered 80 fully and completely that in
every instance the positions assumed by
the Tribune have been abandoned and
the statements therein contained have
never been repeated. As Republicans we
can safely say that Mr.. Hoar's administra-
ton has been success. That he has not
tried to stand in with the Democracy is
evident from their repeated attempts to
injure him. The best evidence that the
Republicans can have of Mr.. Hoar's ad-
herence to duty is the opposition Of the
Democrats. What would you think of
Mr.. Hoar il the Democrats and the 7'ri-
bune were saying nice things about him.
The conclusion would be that we didn't
want him that he wouldn't do to tie to,
in other words that he suits the opposi-
ton too well Lincoln and Grant and
John A. Logan were more villified and
traduced and had harder things said
about them than, perhaps, any other
citizens of the nineteenth century. The
motive which prompted this abuse is so
self evident that it needs no comment and
we only mention it to illustrate an idea
which the readers of the WORLD can grasp
without any 'elucidation whatever.
Taxpayer" whoever he may be strikes
the key note when he says: "In ziezv of
the fact that another election is drawing
near and We zv1N be called ntou to cast orr
7Ofes for county officers, etc. Just SO. In view
of the fact that another election is draw
ing near, let us publish, and spread
broadcast all the charges We can think
of against Mr.. Hoar, not because we be-
lieve he has done anything, not because
we believe them ourselves but SIN zie7v
of tile fact that another election is APPROACH
ing" and, If we make our charges strong
enough and keep them persistently before
the public, we may succeed in getting
enough Republicans to vote against Hoar
to defeat him and elect OUR candidate for
clerk. We hoodwinked enough Republi-
cans two years ago to elect Hogan, why
can't we do it again.
want to say this to my Republican
friends: C. A. Hoar is the regular nomi-
nee of the party, is a competent officer in
every respect, is courteous and accomod
ating to all who may have business to
transact in his Office, has received for his
salary just what was allowed him and is
entitled to and should receive the entire
support of the party, and those who are
engaged in and countenance such unwar-
ranted, unreasonable and persistent war
fare that has been made should be re-
buked at the polls, and we are satisfied
that they will, for some, at least, of the
Democrats are disguised with the me-
thods employed by the self constituted
managers of the party. We have no in
terest in the election of any candidate
except that which we all have in our own
candidates and in our own party, and the
common interest that all should have,
irrespective of party, in seeing fair play
and fair, honorable canvas. You will
doubtless hear many other statements
before election and "In view of the fact
that another election is approaching"
