for It's independent voting, for in 1875
Geo. 7. Anthony for governor, lacked
294 votes Of having q majority; In 1878
the republican shortage was S75; in 1882
II was 1885, and even in the great trl
umphal year Of Of 1893, Congressman
Perkins lacked G52 votes Of carrying the
county. As a voter for the Mckinley

blind, obsequious follower Of that
modern political dictator Speaker Thos
B. Reed Mr. Perkins has irrepanbly In

In the centennial year William p.
Hackney was lbs representative in the
state legislature; in 1880 he was elected
state SENATOR but in 1890, he appears as a
would-be political boss shorn Of his
strength, and he finds IL convenient to
play in a new feld--the kingdom Of Ok
lahOma.
In 1883, CowIey county gave Harrison
a plurality Of 2,l7S; in 1889, Hackney
was It's principal manager, its great ring
ster in the county convention Of the par
ty and the chairman Of the committee on
resolutions.
