SAINT" OARAWAY'S KICK.

NOW now 90 you StdilU. aiS you iOl
Joints or for law? From the above slur
oIc would be warranted to infer the
former. Do you notice that the Regis
ter is the only paper III the city that
has taken a stand for law and order?
The Others are afraid to own their own
souls. Stoke you have no elements of
manhood. You are afraid to favor law
and order and you dare not do so.
You know you are moral coward and
dare not speak your sentiments. You
have said yoa were raised and trained
by God fearing republican father.
''What fall, my countrymen!' Why
do we have joints? Only because SUCH
canting hypocrits win crouch before the
violaters. If such as you, would be
men, joints would disappear as quickly
as the morning mist before a July sun.
1t is not question of prohibition and
resubmission, so much as question of
law and order, or violation of such.
| You are afraid to get on the right side.
The only reason that the joints are run
ming in Great Bend land they are) is
because those in authority are just like
you, Stoke. When the county attorney
will go quietly to the jointists and
| notify them that the attorney general
| has written him and asks them to close
! they have got him down. He is subject
! to their demands as is proven by the
| fact that they continue to sell right
along and no prosecutions are made.
| Attorney General Kellogg has just been
in the same boat. The only effort he
has made is to write Mr.. Cole letter.
| Of course with such condition, the
joints fear nothing and will run. But
if you, Stoke, and the officers, and the
people who are in favor of law and
| order, had anything but curtilaginous
| backbone the law can be enforced.
But there are more persons who are
afraid to denounce what their eonvic-
tons condemn, than there are fearless
| men and women, hence we have joints.
Register.
| Thus again does the foul and unblush-
| ing hypocrit, the loud mouthed braggart
and self-praising bigot, placed in his
position by the grace Of the republican
party, force upon public notice his abil-
ity to indulge in Billingsgate and abuse
and pose as a saint of unblemished
character and pure purpose. It is a
l
isms that such a man is permitted to
thus pose as moralist, christian, or a
gentleman. We believe, however, that
| it is only a matter of time when his
hypocracy and treachery will lead him
iuto the darkness of social and political
oblivion, where the corruptness of his
gangrened soul Will be compelled to
turn upon itself and in solitude devour
| its own rottenneSs.
| Who is Caraway, that he should so
eagerly fly into a TRADE of abuse of his
fellow men? Does he think the people
OF Barton county have forgotten the
dark chapters of his life? Has there
ever been anything bnt dark chapters,
filed with political intrigue, corrupt
methods and questionable integrity.
Does he think that the people gener-
ally do not know his history, from the
time he landed in Great Bend few
years ago and Immediately began to
hunt for an office? Does he hope that
Lthey have forgotten the disgraceful dis
closures of his corruptness made at the
senatorial convention held at Sterling
on October 81, 1889, when it was
, charged that he, Caraway, had furnish
: ed beer to the voters in the 4th ward OF
Great Bend in order to secure the del
eeates from that ward to his support
J as a candidate for state senator? Has
, he forgotten the back room in the Con.
, tinental hotel where, on that occasion
! beer was dished out freely to his dele
gates? Has he failed to remembe1
that be only got his delegates into tina,
convention through minority report
of the committee on credentials, and
/ because the Rice and Stafford county
delegates saw that they had Barton
, way, bolted tue regular convention:
1 No, the people have not forgotten all
: that; nor have they forgotten various
other small Ito iim) matt ers that have
: come to public notice concerning Ger
tain business transactions Of darl
nature that have never reached tht
public print. but that are well known
throughout the land. They have moi
forgotten the way he secured the Grea
! Bend post Office, nor the Frybergel
r affair, nor the sl;irs cast upon the young
. ladies of the alliance, nor various othe
; transactions that have helped to brant
: him as demagogue. cormorant and J;
, political boss of the rule or ruin class
who never hesitates to turn upon hi
, best friends when his own persona
? interests or political desires are a
q stake.
Y In his editorial quoted above he make
!, no argument, advances no line of par
thought; hut he again demonstrate
p that he is The worst case of seIf-eol
t Iceited demageguery that has eve
{ afflicted our city or county. In sayin,
! that there are more persons who al
r afraid to denppnce what their cenvie
: tons condemn than there are fearles
