The Carroll county Record has this
to say about the turn-coat, J. b.
Hale, who once imposed himself on
the Democrats of this district and
went to congress: THE Record has
stated that John B. Hale was a
'border ruffian" and went across the
line into Kansas to force upon the
people of that territory the iniquit-
Gus Lecompton constitution. 1t has
also shown by citing the pages OF
history that he was an earnest and
leading secess:onist; and now, to en-
phasize these statements and rivet
upon them the golden label of truth,
John Forsythe says that twenty
years ago he made concessions" to
him that would damn him with the
Democratic party''-the party of
which he was then a trusted leader
and on whose back he was riding into
place and power.
What kind OF a man is he, pray?
This is the plain English Of it.
The Record is right.
And strange as it may seem, some
of tho ''stable boys are grooming
this man as gubernatorial candi-
date on the Republican ticket.
Great Caesar!
Republicans who want such a veg
etable in their political soup are well
come to him; but as for the Record,
it prefers Il man whose antecedents
have been more consistent.

THEODORE SMITH, of Agency, a vii
liage fourteen miles from st. Joseph,
on the Santa Fe road, son of County
Judge William b. Smith, was shot
and instantly killed on Thursday
night of last week by unknown par
ties. He was closing his store when
three men entered and commanded
him to throw up his hands. AS he
failed to comply, one of thestrangers
fired a shot, which took effect in
Smiths leg. As he lay OH the floor,
a second ball was sent through his
heart. His little son, who was with
him, ran screaming from the place
and was also fired upon by the
strangers, but escaped unharmed.
No attempt was made at robbery.

Harrison, and His Hcipcrs.

The New York Worlds Washing
ton correspondent 2nnOunces that
Mr.. Harrison is about to turn back
to his old political friends and cap
tains, Quay, Dudley, New and their
like. This is undoubtedly as ii must
be if Mr.. Harrison is to secure the
denomination which he seeks.
There is only one Republican lead
er whose nomination is at all likely
to be forced by what may be called
the popular sentiment of the party,
and that is Mr. Blaine. Mr.. Harri-
son must depend upon the machine
and the men who are able to capture
Republican primaries and caucusas
or to lead Republican conventions.
1t is not easy to point out any one
at the head OF the Republican organ
ization who possesses anything like
an exalted idea OF politics. Mr.. Har-
risOn must capture the machine by
the use OF the arts and corruptions
in which Quay, Wanamaker, New,
Platt, Chandler and Dudley excel.
Any one save Blaine who secures
the nomination next year must de-
pend upon the mon who raised the
money and bought the votes in 1888.
And as Mr.. Harrison seeks the prize
he must secure it in accordance with
practices which will find most favor
in the national convention.
To say that he is seeking the sup
port of Quay and his chew is simply
to say that he knows how to play
the game of Republican politics.

The following from the Iowa State
Register is to the point and is sensible:
Courts and iuries in all towns, cities,
counties and states, should heed the awful
warning issued yesterday by the outraged
citizens of New Orleans As we'll might
the growth of intelligence attempt to stay
the cyclones of the air and the earth
quakes of terra iirma, as to gain and
maintain respect for courts and juries
that do not respect justice. 1t is
worse than folly to cry law and order
when courts and juries do not respect
justice" And very properly the State
Register holds that the remedy is in such
reform of the law as will secure intelli-
gence and character, rather than the lack
of both, in the composition of juries.

UNIFORM NATURALIZATION.

The pending contest between Thayer

braska brings into strong relief the slip
shod looseness Of our naturalization laws,
and the imperative necessity for their
revision. Either this must be admitted.

SENATOR HEARsr's SUCCESSORS.

The Republicans in the California lcgi,-
lature have reached happier conclusion,
and in better shape. than was to have been
expected in view of the reports and ru-
mofs incident to the earlier stages of the
balloting. BY the election OF Charles N.
FELTON, yesterday they have terminated in
IN exemplary manner a contest which at
one time threatened TO be scandalous.
The selection thus finally made could
not well have been bettered among the
many competent and worthy Republicans
Of that state. Both in the state legislature
and in congress Mr.. FELTON, has had a
training which will have prepared him for
the Office to which he has been chosen,
and in both Of those relations he has been
active. efficient and influential
He is man of scholarly attainments,
high professional standing and rare bust
ness capacity. He is comfortably en-
dowed With worldly goods and holds an
enviablc social position With the excep-
ton of Sargent. California has not within
twenty-five years been represented in the
Senate by one better qualified than Mr..
FELTON, will be to render effective service.

The ElecliOll.

After the PROsPEcToR went to press last night the voting began in real earnest and between the hours of 4 and 6 enough votes were boiled to bring the total up to 413 votes. Most of those who voted late were miners and Cheyney polled almost their solid vote with many for Mark Smith in place of Montandon. The counting was quickly done and the returns came in from the outside precincts be- fore nine o'clock. It was certain at that hour that Smith and Cheyney were elected but the triangular contest between Meade, Herring and Mon, tandon, was the most interesting part of the contest. The vote from Wilcox surprised the friends of Smith and Meade as they did not anticipate ovel 20 votes there for them. Their heavy vote was due to there being grea many cowboys from the valley il there.
Tombstone epitaph., 1891-05-17

No man can guess who the lucky candidates are in tO.day's election. Mark Smith is conceded to lead, fur ther thaa that no predictions are safe. Major Montandon is probably running ahead of his ticket somewhat as many democrats scratched White and placed Montandon on their tickets. There was an indication that Col Herring was to be slaughtered early in the morning, and the Cheyney boom grew larger as the day closed.
 From Benson dispatch came late this p. m. that Montandon had receiv- ed 9-tenths of all the votes cast there, and the similar news is reported from Fairbank and Huachuca Siding
 At Blsbee there is very little ex- citement aud the men are reported to be voting about as they see fit. w K Meade is polling the full strength ol his ticket and there is some cutting for him on the Republican ticket. One bet was made at noon today oI $l0 to $2O by sporting man that he could name the winning ticket, tho money was put up and he named Smith. Meade and Montandon.
