RECENT REFLECTIONS.

Comes through all the ieeting hours,
'NicholsOn's not in it,"
j. II. Burton tomorrow night.
Hear Burton tomorrow night.
Burton at the opera house to
morrow night.
The big rally of the campaign viii
be held at the opera house tomorrow
evening.
Ladies are especially invited to
attend the republican meeting tomor-
row evening. Go early as seats will
be taken fast.
The infant child Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Seymour Coble died last night, aged
4 days, The funeral services were
held this afternoon.
--Chas. FOswick, a Union soldier,
will lecture in the court house on the
evening of Nov. on the battle of
Missionary Ridge and his prison exper-
fence. Admission free.
What is the reason that Geo. Liv-
ingston and Simon Rothschild were
not called upon to deny that Cranston
and Nicholson sent them to make the
deal with the whisky men?
Political schemes sprung now
mean that they are canards. They
were held until too late to be answered
ard will fail to have any effect. Hon.
orsble politics does not include such
actions.
The desperate straits to which
the opposition is reduced is seen in
their herculean efforts to show that
6F4pston's administration has been no
worse than Mr.. Bitting's, who is not
here to defend himself.
A letter from Chas. X. Newhall,
formerly of the First National bank of
this city, is dated SILVER City, N. NJ,
where he is In search of health. Since
leaving Abilene he has had consider
able lung trouble, which he hopes the
New Mexico climate will relieve.
1t will be easy enough to tell
republican when he votes next Tues
day. Put down the man who walks up
to the polls with his ticket open so
that anybody can see it and casts it
with pride put that man down as
republican.
Palmer says there are but two
tickets in the field Wall street on the
one hand and the people on the other.
We suppose Wall street is represented |
by Banker Kirby anu brother Matte
son, who are enthusiastic supporters of
Mr.. Balmer's ticket.
The late James Mcintyre had
pension of S45 month. His family |
will receive about $40 hencefOrth.
There is no nation On earth that takes
care Of its defenders and those Deepen
dent on them as has the United States
under republican rule.
If anybody expected Judge Mich
olson and B. C. Cranston to admit the
charges made against them by Mead
and Hurd they little knew the chaIac-
tiers of those BOOSTERS. They have done
just what all other defendants do,
plead mot gnilty,n but that does not
decide the case.
Judge Nicholson makes some very
wicked threats about what he proposes
to do after election. Would it not
have looked little more like innocence
if the judge had caused the arrest Of
those men last week and published the
evidence to the voters before election
so they might determine who tells the
truth?
The News seems to have been
thoroughly familiar with the fact that
q deal was going on between the
whisky men and the court officers at
least "ten days before the Mead Hurd
letter was published" Yet that
paper deEotes an entire issue of this
week in denying that a deal ever
existed.
The REFLECTOR finds every once
in a while among its subscribers one
who proposes to evade his debts. II.
H. Mcdonald, the peopless party lee
turer, is one of this kind. He has
put his theory into practice by repu-
dating his subscription bill. I. H.
Clarke is another specimen. He has
left the county and also left his bill
unpaid.
CLAY Center Times: A young kid
announced on the street corner the
other evening within hearing distance
Of several ears that he was going to
have q picnic election day by taking
all the cigars that were offered by the
candidates who would think him 81
years old. IT'S thus the American
youth learns the lessons of government
and practices them.
james Spear, Abilene's well known
contractor, suffered q severe accident
while working on the barn of Geo. W.
Townsend the first of the week. The
scaffold on which be was standing
