transact the business of the treasurer,
office. His returns made while asses-
sor of Marmaton township were tn ,
most complete and methodical and
accurate of any books brought into
the clerks Office this year,-apd that
Is saying good deal for we elected
some mighty good assessors all around
at the last election. Mr.. Nelson is
able to fill the treasurer's office,-and
the people will say next Tuesday they
are willing.
Vote, vote, vote with care,
Vote for the man that's true and square
Vote for the party that will dare
To stand up for the right and fair;
But beware
Men who scare
Capital from the State with their
Tales of hardship and despair
Men who haye less brains than hair,
Men famous for their ankles bare
Demagogues who set q snare
For the simple and unaware,
Let them swear,
Don't You care,
Their GOODWILL you well can spare
A ticket good and true prepare
Go TO the polls and vote it there;
Shed your coat and earn q share
In downing the party of despair,
In freeing the State from its big night mare.
-Emporfd Republican.
When our Democratic brethren go
to the polls next Tuesday with a tick
ct which has at one end the name of a
man who declared in an Alliance
lodge that if the Democratic commit
tee did not take bis name off their
ticket he would have it done, and at
the other end the name of man who
declares that he voted the A Alliance
ticket last year and intends to vote 1t
this year, we hope they will recall to
their minds thase words from w. c..
Perry, of Ft. Scott, one of the leading
Democrats in the State:
"Have the Democrats of Kansas
lost their self respect? What do those
who favor coalition think of the inso.
lent manner Of those with whom they
seek to fuse? Are Democrats whip
ped ours to follow at the heels Of an
aggregation of crude cranks whose
vagaries fade in the presence of COM
mon sense and ordinary decency as
would a SNOWFALL in the heat of
hades?"
Humboldt Uaion: Tuesday, Nov. 8,
election day is near at hand, and we
desire to impress upon every Republi-
can the Importance Of going to the
polls and voting. With some people
this is considered an 'of year." but
We don't think so. The principles of
Republicanism are at stake In this
election as they will be in the election
of 1892. 1t is as much the duty of
members of the party to go to the polls
and vote this year as it will be next.
We would also urge you to vote a
clean, unseratehed Republican ticket.
Every candidate thereon Is a plain,
practical, American citizen every day
in the year. They were fairly and
honorably nominated, and their nom-
nations were effected without any
room for the complaint of bossism,
trick or fraud to be made. No candi-
date is member of any clique, ring
or faction. They are Repu blicans in
the best sense that term implies. They
are men of unguestioned integrity and
reliability and are honest and capable.
Allen county can certainly point with
much pride to the long line of compe-
tant Republican officials, and our
present candidates are but duplica-
tons of those who have preceded
them.

Mr.. Hiram Lieurance is still in the
tall grass. He has not made the Dem
ocratic committee take his name off
their ticket, though he promised his
Alliance lodge on Oct. 10th that he
would do it. And he has not answer
ed civil letter addressed to him in
good faith by one of his constituents
asking him to define his position, al
though he is under every obligation,
as gentleman, if not as a candidate,
to do so. What is the inference to be
drawn from this persistent silence?
There can be but one, and that Is that
Mr.. Lieurance is after the squirrel!
He is not willing to say he is Peo-
ple's party man, because that might
lose him Democratic support, and he is
not willing to say he is Democrat
because that might lose him Peoples
party support. Would a-man who is
really worthy of the highest office in
the county thus stultify himself for
the sake of obtaining it? Would a
truly honorable and self-respecting
man be willing to rest under the inn
putation of political dishonesty which
has lain upon MIR. Lieurance these
past four weeks? We cannot under
stand how he could do it. The voters |
of the county certainly owe it to them
selves to teach him that it does not |
pay to do it.
