LOCAL POLITICAL NOTES
The Republican party never sland'
cred Kansas.
Every man who has had business in
the county clerks office during the
past two years has found z. NJ. Eckly
a faithful, accommodating and pains
taking officer.
-
The Republican party has never
insulted the farmers of Kansas by tell
ing them they were serfs and slaves
aud would all 60 to the poor house
unless the Government came to theil
relief.
We wish every Republican would
cut out the statement we publish about
the tax levy during the past ten years
and take it to the polls with him next
Tuesday. The figures are official and
they may shut off some vagrant bio
viator.
There is not a candidate on the Re
publican ticket for whom the most
conscientious voter i'm The county
cannot conscientiously cast his bal
lot. There Is not a candidate on that
ticket whose moral character needs
defense or apology:
~
The election of u single candidate Oh
either the Democratic or Peoples tick
ct means a harder fight for the Re-
publicans next year. The opposition
recognize this and Republicans would
do well to remember it. The best way
to keep the enemy whipped is to whip
all of them all the time.

About nine-tenths of the calamity
speeches that have been made in Kan
sas during the past year have been
merely a rehash of Mrs. Emery's book,
1.-The Seven Great Conspiracies." On
one OF the inside pages of this paper
Senator Sherman points out the false
hoods and fallacies of that book. Read
what he says.
Capt. Dewitt speaks at Wise school
house tonight, Ewing and Cummings
at Jeddo, and Foust at Enterprise.
Chas. +. Scott speaks at Spring Val
ley tomorrow night. On Monday
night Capt. Slower and Schuyler Brew
ster will speak at Pleasant Prairie,
Capt. Ewing at Rock Creek, Capt.
Stewart and A B. Johnson at Maple
Grove, Dist. 80, Mai. Foust at Hum
boldt and Chas. F. Scott at Moran.
The A. H. 7. A. men will remem-
Der that they had "a bill before the
last legislature which they were very
anxious to have passed, as it would
have given certain of their members
the powers of Deputy Sheriffs. This
bill was passed by the Senate on Feb
ruary Is, and was sent to the House
the next day. On March 8, it came to
House. For proof of this look Oh page
103S of the House Journal.

We wish that every voter, before he
goes to the polls next Tuesday might
read the statement concerning the tax
levy which we publish this week.
That statement is the strongest en-
dorsement of Republican admins
tration that could possibly be framed.
showing beyond all cavii that the af-
fairs of the county have been managed
with prudence, honesty, wisdom and
economy. A party which can show a
record such as that will do to trust
awhile longer.
The election of Hiram Lieurance
would be an endorsement by the
voters of Allen county of political de-
ceit and double-dealing. 1t would be
giving notice that the man who was
the best straddler was the one who
had the best chance for an Office. 1t
would be advising every man who
desires an election that the surest way
to secure it is to deceive your friends
and court your enemies. 1t would be
giving due warning to every future
aspirant for office that if he hoped to
get the "spiles" he must get rid of the
principles"
Somebody must have been giving
the Yates Center Democrat pointers
on the situation i'm Allen county. In
its last issue it says:
Any man who will desert the DEM
ocratic party in order to be elected to
some petty office deserves to be defeat
ed, and the Democrats should spot
such deserters aud bury them low on
the day of election. We understand
that the Alliance bosses have succeed
ed in getting one or two Democrats to
run on their ticket for township offices.
To the Democrats in these townships
We say down them"
Some of the Peoples party men in
the south part of the county we under
stand, still claim that Mr.. Lieurance
has not accepted the Democratic NOM
ination, and charge that the report
that he has done so is all "a put upI
game" on the part of the REGISTER.
1t is four weeks to day since the REG
IsTER first stated that Mr.. Lieurance
ton. Isn't that good while for "a
put up gamen to last? If Mr.. L. was
by that assertion bas he not
had time to deny it?
