A LOAN TWICE PAID.

The friends of Judge Nicholson claim
that he is the special friend of the poor
mortgagor, and as an instance of his en-
deavor to protect them from the rich money
loaner claim that he refused to confirm a
number of mortgage sales in his district at
the last term of court. This, in the opinion
of all intelligent men, is only another evil
dence of his demagogism, and that his
change of heart toward the poor man has
been as sudden and is as insincere as his
conversion from a bourbon democrat
to a granger. We called attention to
the tender mercy he showed a poor farmer
by confirming a sale of his land for a gross
inadequate price. We now cite another
case where he had it in his power to pro-
tect the unfortunate mortgagor from the
grasping avarice of the rich money loaner,
and was reversed By The Supreme Court for
not performing his duty under the law.
The facts are as follows:
On the 10Th of January, 1880, Vansant
and wife executed to Asa C. Palmer their
note. This note was secured BY a mortgage
for $3.50, due in FIVE years, with interest at
10 per cent. Vansant and wife sold the
land to A. Shane who faithfully paid each
interest coupon as it fell due to T. c. Hen
~ and Co, who acted as the agents of the
mortgage in this and other loans made by
them in Kansas. A few days before the
principals note fell due Shane paid it in
full to T. c. Henry & Co., but T. c. Henry
& Co. failed to pay the money over to their
principal. Palmer commenced a foreclOs-
ure suit against Shane in the district court
of Dickinson county for the $3.50, and inter
est after maturity of the mortgage. The
evidence upon the part of the mortgsgor
clearly showed that T. C. Henry & Co. were

THE MORTGAGOR ROBBED.

On the first of September, 1884, Geo. w.
Harris and his wife, Mary A. Harris, exc
cuted their note to -, mortgage, or
order, in the sum of $500. This note was
payable on the 1st day of September, 1889.
with interest at the rate of 7 per cent, pay
able semi-annually, but if not paid when
due, both note and interest coupons were to
draw II per cent. Said note was secured
by a mortgage on 160 acres of land in
Geary county, described as follows: The
northeast quarter of section l, township y,
rang 6. Harris paid two and half years
interest, amounting to $40, and defaulted
on the interest coupon due Sept. /, 1887.
On the 9Th of August, 1888, the mort
gage commenced foreclosure suit against
Harris and wife in the district court of
Geary county, and obtained judgment for
the amount due on principal and interest,
which sum amounted to 81, 05l 20, and cos is
of suit. On the Sth of April, 1889, an or
der of sale was issued BY the district clerk
of Geary Co., directed to the sheriff, COM
handing him to sell the mortgaged land,
lgithout appraisement, to the highest bidder.
May %, 1889, the sheriff sold said land
to the mortgage for the sum of 500. The
costs of clerk and sheriff amounted to
S36 80, which left a credit to Harris and
wife of $685. In other words, it appears
from the journal of the court and the rec
ords in the case that the account between
said parties stands as follows:
Mortgage is the owner of the 100 acres
valued at three times the amount of
loan, basis on which all real estate loans
Mortgage received interest on loan....... 40 90
Mortgage still has a judgment against
Harris and wife, after deducting credit
allowed on sale of land................... 9S7 50
This makes grand IS
The Judgment of s9S7.5s has drawn interest at u
per cent since date of judgment.
At the October term, 1889, the motion of
the plaintiff came on to be heard before
Judge Nicholson who, after an examina-
ton of the papers, remarked that the price
paid for the land appeared to be made
quate, and he took The matter under cOnsjderd-
tion. After due elaboration and ample
time to consider the matter, and during
said October term he confirmed the sale,
and ordered the sheriff to make a deed to
the purchaser, the mortgage. He further
aIlODed a rrit of assistance to place the mort
gqgee in possession prorided Harris and wite,
Or any cLaiment under them, refused to suTren-
der the premises.
The case is No. 1916, and the order con-
irming the sale, and granting writ of as
sistance is recorded in journal D, page 273.
Any one who doubts this plain statement of
facts can satisfy himself by examining the
records.
Alliance men, what thinkest thou?

NICHOLSON'S JUDICIAL GUESSES

The Council Grove Republican said: "a
few weeks ago in Candidate Nicholson's
personal and official organ, the Herald
Guard, he asserts, or rather claims, that his
varied, various or variegated political Opin-
ions are not in issue in this campaign and
should not be criticised, and that the only
issues or subjects for discussion are his per-
sonal character and judicial record. We
have been ready at all times to concede
that the candidates personal character is
fairly good, and will proceed to join issue
with him upon the other issue that he
tenders, his judicial record. His blinded
and most devoted or deluded followers must
admit that, if after eight years experience
upon the bench, that Judge Nicholson is
not an accomplished jurist, 1t is idle to
hope that four more years experience will
render him such. We will give the record
he has made, as it is disclosed by the Re-
ports of the Supreme Court of Kansas"
On account of its length and complicacy,
we omit the table which gives the title of
the cases, volume and page. Out 9th Sc
cases taken from NiehoLson's court to the ST.
preme Court, just an eUeH % hare been reversed.
Divide these Sc cases in two, and in the
first half there have been IA Of the % re-
versed. This indicates that his decisions
we're nothing more than blind guesses, and
he doesn't improve any on his guesses.
That is to say, as many cases taken from
Nicholson's court to the Supreme court
were reversed and sent back during the
first four years as there were in the last
four. Four years experience on the bench,
according to his record, did nothing for
him, and consequently nothing for the dis
trict. Voters, Do You care to try another
four years?

heard of the robbery until arrested and did
not know they were purchasing stolen prop
erty. The officer was impressed with the
statements of these unfortunate boys, and
has been heard to say that he did not be-
lieve they we're the parties who robbed the
store. Many other persons, including Mr..
Hicks, have expressed the same opinion.
Whatever may be the truth, they we're at
least entitled to a fair and impartial trial,
and reasonable time to prepare for their
defense, all of which was denied them. The
proceedings in this case shocked the moral
sensibilites of every one who was present
and witnessed the proceedings, and the long
cruel punishment inflicted by the judge met
with the indignation of the community.
There never was greater act of judicial
outrage perpetrated in this state, and it can
be atoned for, in part, by the Judge in max
ing an earnest appeal to the governor
for the release of these boys from the bal
ance of their long consignment in the peni-
Tertiary, and if he should fail to do this act
of justice and mercy, it is hoped the matter
may be brought to the attention of the
Board of Pardons, and that careful exam
ination be made of all the facts, so that
these poor, defenseless creatures may be re-
stored to liberty. If they were even guilty
of the crime charged, the punishment was,
in view of their ages and defenseless condi-
ton too severe.
They have now been confined over
over four years, and ifthe sentence imposed
is carried out they have yet nearly nine
years to remain at hard labor in the peni-
Tertiary of the state.

the agents of the mortgage, and had au-
thority to collect and remit the proceeds of
the various loans made BY him in Dickin-
son county, and letter was introduced writ
ten by Palmer to T. c. Henry & Co., calling
their attention to this particular loan, and
requesting them to remit the proceeds.
Yet with all this evidence Judge Nicholson
decided in favor of the mortgage, and held
that he tCas entitled to judgment for the full
amount paid Henry q Co. The case was TAX
en- to the Supreme Court of Kansas, and
was very properly reversed. AL the judges
cOReurred in the opinion of reversal. The facts
and opinion in full can be found in the 43d
volume, Kansas Reports, at page 4Sl.

Judge Nicholson, the bridge burner" of
the Eighth district, who is running for
reelection, askes the people to measure him
as Judge, ard that politics and Personali-
ties be omitted in the canvass. According
ly his record for a given time has been dug
up, and that it has been found that ont of
fifty -four cases that were taken to the su-
preme court from his court, twenty eight
we're reversed, and twenty-six affirmed.
This shows that Nicholson is not only not
lawyer, but not even a good guesser. Mich
olson is a freak and laughing stock Of his
whole district. He runs his conrt with
gavel. His mind runs to little things. If
he sees a mans bat on table, rap goes his
gavel, and business is suspended until the
sheriff removes the hat. II is not permits
sable for man to rest his feet on a table,
when this rule is violated the gavel thumb
ers away. Lawyers are sawed of in the
midst of their work at the most trifing
provocation, and the court is thus kept in
ferment of excitement. It is fitting that such
a man should be candidate Of the peoples
party-Atchison Globe.

As will be seen Judge Humphrey, instead
of working in the interest of the railroads,
is continually hired to work sgainst them.
Among other cases out is the case of C..
Hoffman & Son of this city, against the IN
ion Pacific. This was an action brought to
compel the U. P. to place its cars on this
side of the river and was argued by the rail-
road commissioners. Judge Humphrey was
retained by Hoffman & Son, and word has
inst been received that the commissioners
have ordered the q. P railroad company
to do as requested. This will be a big thing
for Enterprise as it gives three railroads on
this side of the river to compete for the
vast amount of freight shipped from this
city, and must prove of immense benefit to
our shippers. This result has been attain
ed to great degree BY the efforts of Judge
Humphrey, and the citizens of Enterprise
can show their appreciation of the work
done BY casting their votes for him at the
coming Observation-Disclosures Journal.

AN INTEREST EXTORTION.

Most of the loans on real estate mort.
cages made in Dickinson county were ne
gotiated by T. G. Henry & Co. The notes
and mortgages taken by them as the agents
of eastern capitalists and investors provided
for interest at the rate of per cent per an
mum, payable semi annually, and the notes
had coupons attached representing the in
terest and the times when it fell due There
was a condition contained in said notes and
mortgages to the effect that if the mort
gagor failed to pay the principal debt or in
terest thereon or any part thereof when
the same became due, then the whole of
said debt should at once become due and
payable, and that said mortgage and note
should draW interest at the rate Of II per cent
per dnnum from date. On the foreclosure Of
these mortgages in the District Court of
Dickinson county Judge Nicholson held,
that when the mortgagor had paid the in
terest at the rate of seven per cent, and
taken up the interest coupons as they fell
due, but afterwards made default in any of
the conditions of said note and mortgage,
then the mortgage was not only entitled to
recover y per cent interest from the date
of the default, but was also entitled to re-
ceive interest at the rate of y per cent for
the period interest had been paid and set
tied at the rate of seven per cent. In other
words, when the interest notes had been
paid and taken up, say for four years and
six tbs, on loan for five years, and the
mOrtgagor through failure of crops or other
misfortune was unable to meet the last note,
he was required to pay five per cent penal
ty from the date of his contract. On loan
of $1,000 for five years when default was
made on last payment this additional bur-
den would amount to $3.50.
Courts of equity were created to relieve
parties from just such hard and unconscion-
able conditions as were contained in these
contracts; to administer exact and equal
Justice between man and man. 1t is a car
dinal principle of equity that whoever
comes into court "must have clean hands,"
THAT he who seeks equity must do equity"
We submit that after a mortgagor had paid
his interest notes when they fell due and
they had been surrendered to him by the
mortgage marked "paid in full'' that no
Judge, who has proper conception of the
principles of justice and equity, would re.
open such settlement and require him to
pay FIVE per cent interest in addition upon
the whole loan. Under the contract it was
right after the date of default to tax interest
at u per cent, but not before. The records
of Dickinson county district court will show
many cases where Judge Nicholson has so
decided.

KILLING RECORDS
They Show What Judge Nichol-
son has been doing for
the Farmer.
A Disgrace to the Profession is
not what Intelligent voters
wish to endorse.
The High Office of Judge Prosti-
tuted for the Support of
Liquor Men.

Unfortunately true it is that all state
ments that appear in newspapers are not
entirely free from coloring, and not in the
strictest sense, true. Newspaper readers,
however, have come to appreciate these
facts. But the farmers, some of them,
strange to say, are content with an indis-
criminate application of this rule to all
matter published this fall in regard to
Judge Nicholson's court record. If these
were matters of passing concern only if
they were not facts thrown out as guides to
the people of the 9Th judicial district to as
sist them in making what, under the pres
ent disturbed and somewhat dangerous con-
ditiOn of state politics, is most important
selection, such an attitude on the part of
class OF farmers would not attract special
attention. But the results of this falls cleo
tons in Kansas are of unusual importance.
If the farmers want purity and efficiency
in politics, and no one doubts that, there
certainly can be no excuse, then, for those
who are intelligent and honest for support
ing Judge Nicholson. Aside from his os.
citations on the prohibitory question, the
charges made against Judge Nicholson
have been upon his court record. The
fight against him has been clean and free
from attacks upon his personal character.
The charges herein made were published
weeks ago, and have been distributed freely
over the district. These are too grave
ofenses to be given against an officer occu-
plying the high position that Judge Nichol-
son does without all the necessary facts to
substantiate them. Yet neither Congressman
Davis organ nor any other sheet or sup
porter in the district have denied the
charges or advanced one word in extenua-
ton of his conduct as Judge.
With such an array of statements-all
matters of court records-we deem comment
unnecessary. We cannot believe that the
mass of intelligent voters of the 9Th Judi
cial district can support a candidate with
such court record, in preference to a gen.
tleman and lawyer, as is Judge 'Humph-
rey. During this entire campaign Judge
Humphrey has not been attacked in a
single instance. No one doubts his ability,
and no one has intimated that his integrity
can be questioned. Read the two letters of
acceptance published on this page. They
bring out the differences between the two
men. They tell the entire story.

Nicholson's adherents claim for him that
he saves the peoples money let us exam
inc that question. The Furney and We'll
lington cases we're reversed for errors that
were so palpable that they should have
been avoided by an average Justice of the
peace, and since the re-trials were made
necessary by Judge Nicholson's ignorance
of law he cannot complain if the people
charge him with the cost of the second
trials in each case We have compiled a
part of these costs from the records and find
that they amount to the enormous sum of
S4,34O so, and this does not include the
cost of summoning the special panels of
jurors, the fees of the baili6s in attendance
on the court nor the amount paid for couu-
Gil fees BY the county in the Furney case,
which will increase the aggregate cost to
not less than 5,OO0.-Council Grove Re-
