them as they are, it would require six
figures to denote the republican ma
jority in November.
Whenever a political party reaches
that point when it undertakes to say
to its members what papers they shall
read, or patronize, what arguments
they shall listen to and what to believe,
it is very nearly on its last legs.
Just before the war the democratic
party undertook to boycott" the New
York Tribune. Democratic post
masters refused to deliver to the SUBJ
scribers; it was denounced from the
rostrum and the pulpit and all because
it dared to tell the truth about slavery.
The result was that slavery went
down and the bOycOtted n. Y. Tribune
went up. In ninety-nine cases in
every hundred boycott is not only a
complete failure, but it generally re-
turns to torment the boycotter.

PRACTICAL REPUBLICANIsM
Col. Forsyth Makes an Able and In
teresting Address.

The court room was crowded last
night to hear the address of Colonel A.
2. Forsyth. The present campaign is
by no means one of the indifference;
the people take live interest in the
presentation of all sides of the ques-
lions before the people.
w. S, Stambangh made the intro
ductOry speech and held the closest of
attention for about 20 minutes. He
blasted as lowlived falsehOod the dec
larations of the peoples partyites that
the farmers of Dickinson county are
suffering and oppressed. The cOllec-
lions registered against farmers were
never so small. He made a strong
impression and gave the hearers some
thing to think about.
Col. Forsyth, who followed him, is a
strongly built, practical farmer and
his address was a surprise to all. He
held the closest attention of his audi
ence for over an hour while he mar
shalled facts and figures to show the
beneficent results Of protection and re-
pnblicanism. He compared the man
ner of living 40 years ago with that of
today, showing how much better farm
ers are off than ever before. He is an
alliance member in good standing but
he will not allow it to interfere with
his religious or political opinions. He
believes the farmers of Kansas are too
sensible to be led around by a corn
doctor from North Carolina, POLK
He closed with some good, practical
tariff talk.
The meeting was a successful one
and quite relief from the free trade,
free whisky talk of the night previous.

a mention of the fact to insure Mr..

BoYCoTTED, BY THUNDER!
Some Peoples Partyites Start Out
to Down" Everybody.

The REFLECTOR is in receipt of
voluminous communication containing
a number of "whereases," followed by
couple of very silly and childish res
olutions purporting to have been
adopted by a peoples party caucus in
Fragrant Hill. The purPort of the
document is to the effect that all the
''old party" papers are inveterate liars
and the only purely good and honest
men left to save Kansas from the fate
of Sodom are a very few Lots who are
trying to convert the farmers alliance
into a political machine and who have
the cheeky arrogance to call themselves
''the people," The resolution threatens
the "old party papers" with boycott
and urges everybody not to patronize
them and not to patrOnize any one who
will advertise in them.
The resolutions are adopted in apart
of the county where the people do not
come to Abilene once year on an
average. They trade at Junction City
and have all their interests except pay
ing their taxes in Davis county, and
subscribe for Davis county papers.
Hence it is as easy for them to boycott
Abilene as it would be for residents of
Penobscot, Maine, to boycott CalaV eras
county, California.
These imbecile resolutions are not
very annoying to the REFLECTOR. The
business of any man or set of men who
would stoop so contemptibly low as to
boycott" for political purposes is too
insignificant to miss when it disap-
pears. On the other hand we know
that these resolutions, which are being
published under color of the alliance
are extremely annoying to the intelli-
gent business men of that order. They
see in it the unmistakable signs of dis
Indignation. They realize that every
such nonsensical resolution tends to
bring the order into disrepute as a
business organization.
So far as the REFLECTOR is COZ
cerned we do not court the support"
of any one who does not wish to pat
ronize us. We have endeavOred, and
we think successfully to make the Re-
FLECToR one of the best weekly papers
in the state of Kansas. Our paper
contains three times as much general
and local news as any other paper pub
lished in the county. 1t is -preemi-
nently the paper which every citizen
of the county who wishes to be in
formed upon public AMI local matters
should take.
We have never knowingly misrepre-
sented any one. We never shall do
so. There are so many damag-
ing things about the character
and acts of our political opponents
that it is wholly unnecessary
to falsify anything in order to defeat
their political aspirations. If we can
succeed in getting the voters to see

The Waterworks Matter Not Quite
Settled.

The Waterworks Matter Not Quite
Settled.
The ordinance passed by the coun-
Gil last Friday evening regarding the
Waterworks improvements and arrang-
ing a new contract has not yet been
signed by the mayor. That gentleman
has gone to Topeka leaving the ordi-
nance unsigned. He demands that the
receiver of the Waterworks company or
some one else shall guarantee that no
back rental shall be collected. The re-
ceiver or the present holders of the
waterwOrks plant say they have moth
ing to do with such a guaranty. 1t
must be decided by the court, which
will probably be asked to make an
order allowing settlement of the
matter by the receiver.
Consulting Engineer Pierson, Walter
Stanton and E. F. Murphy, all of New
York, representatives of the bondhold-
ers, arrived last night ready to make
contracts and deposit the money for
the improvements. They were driven
to Sand Springs this morning. Not
being willing to expend money until
they had an assured contract with the
city they went to Topeka at noon &C
companied by City Attorney gilbert
son and Receiver Rogers. They will
confer with Mr.. Matteson and come to
an understanding if possible.

GENERAL DEFICIENCY"
Straight Political Talk from Hayes
Notes.
Special REFLECTOR Correspondence.

| Special REFLECTOR Correspondence.
HAYES TWP, Oct. S--The time is al
most at hand for the leader of educa-
ton of our county to be elected. Will
the votes of the intelligent people of
this county put such a man as Van
Dyke there? We believe the teacher
from Belle Springs knew whereof he
spoke in last weeks correspondence.
The majority of our teachers are only
too familiar with this mans profess
siona. ability. They know of his at
tempt at forming combine; of his I'M
derbidding honest teachers and of his
general deficiency in educational work.
They justly feel that he has been a
dishOnor to the profession. Heaven
forbid that such a man should ever
direct the educational forces of this or
any other county.
The creamery has suspended opera
tions since Oct. z on account of defec-
tive flues in the engine. During this
time much of the milk is being taken
to Enterprise. The company now pays
so cents per hundred.
A special counc il was held at the
River Brethren caurch last Tuesday.
Burt Austin was in some way Grip
pied in the leg during the ALLIANCE
picnic" at Abilene last week. He is

The meeting was well attended by
members of the RIB. chnrch from dis
lance. Two large tents accommodated
the people. Rev. Wengert, of Sedgwick
county, preached an effective sermon
Sunday forenoon. He was followed by
Elder Zook and others. Services were
held in the tent during the afternoon
and evening.
Among those who go on the excur-
sion to Pennsylvania are Daniel Sours

Arizona weekly enterprise., 1890-05-17

TIE Prescott Courier alleges that THE ENTERPRISE has chopped on it's system" in publishing an extract from the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette rejecting upon the official conduct of Chief Justice Wright. The article in question was given publicity for the purpose of affording opportunity for denial of it's allegations by the parties interested, as such grave charges if allowed to pass unrefuted are likely to be accepted as the truth. THE ENTERPRISE editorially stated at the time its suspicion that the attack was malicious and it asked suspen- sion of public judgment pending ex- plantations. So far no facts have been set forth that materially affect the nature of the article, and the mere as- sertion that it is tissue of falsehood Is no substitute for argument or denial. THE ENTERPRISE desires to do simple justice to all men and among them to Judge Wright, and it will be pleased to make public his authorized denial of the charges should he choose to set himself right before the people.
