COUNTY CLERK.
Why we Support S. T. Young

Since we learned that MI. Wm.
News, of Auburndale, was not making
canvass of the county for the office
to which he was nominated, and know
ing that Mr.. S. I. Young, the present
county clerk who has served the people
to the best of his ability, had been
unjustly treated by his party we de-
cided to give him our support. We
now believe that Mr.. News was simply
nominated to fill up the ticket with no
regard to his fitness or qualification for
that office. We also believe it was
done in the interests of Mr.. Rourke
the democratic nominee, for those who
were instrumental in his nomination
are just as persistent in keeping him
from resignlng. We feel that all re-
publicans are at liberty to vote for Mr..
Young or Mr.. Rourke as their indi-
vidual preferment would dictate. We
have and will support the balance of
the republican ticket from top to
bottom, but we do believe that all
republicans would be justified in voting
for S. I. Young for county clerk for
he is free from the democratic ties
which formerly bound him to that
party. We also believe that Mr.. S. I.
Young's friends in the democratic
party will vote for Mr.. Johnson for our
support of their intimate friend Mr..
Young.
The Enterprise makes hard work in
trying TO convince their readers that
Mr.. Young was honorably defeated in
their county convention. If they will
turn to their files they will find that
on the informal ballot Mr.. Young was
nominated the ballot resulting % votes
for Young 20 for Rourke and 9 for
Thiesen. Common decency and justice
would have given him the nomination
by making the informal vote formal.
But no there was deal on foot by the
"Bosses" which called for Rourke's
nomination, if Vincent Of Marshtield,
was to be nominated for sheriff.
Accordingly, Rourke was nominated on
first formal vote Of "a to o. These are
facts universally known. We heard
Mr.. Rourke quoted as saying that if he
was not nominated for county clerk
Mr.. Vincent would not be nominated
for sheriff. The Enterprise can talk
about Mr.. Young having been fairly
treated by their party but the people
all know it is false and we believe they
will rebnke the party Bosses at the
poles.

COLUMBIA SPEAKS TO GROVER.
BY JAMES CONDON.

l called you, Grover Cleveland.
When life was overcast
By treachery and treason,
To save me from the blast
Two million manly voices
Responded to my call;
Your answer, Grover Cleveland,
Was not among them all.
called you, Grover Cleveland,
When Treason's S rufflan lust
Had spat upon my banner
And trailed it in the dust.
Two million men were marshaled
To right the cruel wrong;
Your musket, Grover Cleveland,
Ne'er glistened in the throng.
A few there were who faltered,
While fewer still were those
Whose coward substitution
Gave courage to my foes;
Amid this traitor number,
Our rosters plainly tell,
| found you, Grover Cleveland,
Unmarked by shot Or shell.
And now the flag is floating,
Beautifed by blood
Of those who rocked not wound nor
But fighting for it stood death,
On land and sea. From east to west,
From south to Gods high heaven,
No nobler lives than those that fell
TO freedoms cause were given.
You'd take this hallowed banner
From the hand of my brave knight
That cherished it in danger,
And fought it's fearless fight.
| tell you. Grover Cleveland,
Ten million tongues will say,
"The flag you failed to honor
Won't honor you to-day"
'Tis true manipulation
Once placed it in your hand;
Your coward fingers clutched it
And held it DER the land;
Fallstaffian yalor waved it.
Did Decency not lend
A blush, to wave Nations flag
Your heart could meter defend?
I tell you, Grover Cleveland,
In no prophetic tone,
My people want hero
To bear my flag alone;
A bold and trusted statesman,
Of courage, tried and true,
Pray tell me, Grover Cleveland,
Does the pencil picture you?

BARNES DOES NOT WANT ANY
TAX RAISED FOR HIGH
SCHOOLS.

EDITOR OF REpoRTER:-In the Apple-
ton Nolksfreund, of Oct 2Sth, l find the
following remarks by Mr.. Barnes. Dem
| ocratic candidate for Congress, given to
the editor of that paper for publication.
"I am of the opinion that the higher
classes of schools, High schools, Uni
versities) should not be supported
through taxation, because it is an in
justice towards the working classes.
These schools are seldom visited by
children of laborers, while everybody
is obliged to pay taxes for their support.
| am not against the high schools and
universities as such, but l do not want
the poor man taxedfor them while he
derives no benefit from them"
1t seemed that Mr.. Barnes had been
accused of saying something detrimental
to the working men-and in order to
rectify matters, he went to the office of
the Eolksfreund together with Judge
Maeskes, giving the above as the true
words he had uttered. Now what more
detrimental to the working man and
everybody else could there be done than
the abolishment of our excellent system
of high schools? 1t is really to be Won
dered at, that man of Mr.. Barnes edu-
cation and experience, a man asking to
be made our representative in congress,
should be so little versed in matters
that concern every citizen. For the
enlightenment of Mr.. Barnes | will give
him the experience we have with the
high school al Green Bay, as also state
ment made by the State Superintendent
of PUBLIC Instruction, both of them
showing conclusively that the tax collect
ed from the laboring man for the support
of the high school is but trifing in COM
parison' to the vast benefit he derives
from it. Last year the expense of our
high school teachers salary, heating,
cleaning, ETC., y amounted to S3365, which
by the receipts from State school lands
was reduced to about $4,000 With to-
tai tax of S66, 900 the above amount spent
for high school represented A. per cent.
of the entire tax. Now, in looking over
our tax roll, l find that laboring people |
at an average pay $40 on their home
steads, thus 45 cents every year for the |
support of the high school. According
to Mr.. Barnes they do not receive any
thing in return for these 45 cents. while |
[ have it on the best Of authority that
about . per cent. of the scholars of the
high school are children of parents who |
could not afford to send them to outside |
institutions. This statement is corrohor-
ated by the State School SupeMnten- |
dent, who from reports received from
1l9 high schools in the state, arrives at }
the following conclusions:

At last the election is over Homo
lulu will at once step back into its
easy-going groove, and recover from
the state of excitement our citizens
have been in for the past two months.
The elections passed off in very
quiet manner, the workers for the
two parties doing quiet but effective
work.
The rain did not deter voters from
appearing at their respective polls,
who after casting their ballots, would
stand around and consider the
chances of the different candidates.
After the polls closed large
number OF people congregated at
the Hotel, and at the headquarters
of the National Reform party to
hear the returns. After s O'Clock
interest was conferred at the Elec-
ton Registrars Office where the off
cial precinct lists were handed in
and read.
The result of the election was a
big surprise to everybody, the most
sanguine members of the National
party did not dream of electing as
many men as they did, and conse-
quently they were all in happy
frame Of mind.
The result of the contest is about
even for both sides, as the Liberals
elected their Representatives from
every district on the island, with the
exception of the first, Mr. w. c.
Wilder, the independent candidate,
being elected from that district.
The new Road Board consists of
Mahelona, Dwight and Fernandez
all three gentlemen being elected by
heavy vote. The independent can.
didates with the exception of Lish-
man and Morgan polled very light
vote. Mr.. Bowler's friends failed to
materialize, he receiving but 322
votes.
The following figures are from the
official returns, with the exception
of the outside districts. The latter
were received by telephone and
may be incorrect, but it is thought
if there are any errors, they will not
be sufficient to change the result.

ped the Democratic platform squarely
in the face by voting for the Stewart
free coinage silver bill, and proceeds
to administer a good spanking to
these gentlemen and read the riot
act to the Tennessee members in the
lower house lest they should be guilty
of the same otIense. IL the Tennes-

then it may be said that the Demo-

Democratic platform, however, de-

LOUISVILLE, July II. - The loss
from the fire at Wedekind, lIallen-
berg & Bros. tannery at Eighteenth
and Lexington streets, is somewhat
less than was at first thought. Mr..
Gustav Hallenberg, member of the
firm, was Sc n yesterday by a re-
porter. He now thinks that the loss
will not exceed 100000, although a
correct estimate can not be given I'M
til the books of the firm are examin-
ed and the correct amount of stock
is ascertained. There is a large
quantity of hides in the watts, which,
unless they are taken out in the next
two or three days, will be ruined,
The machinery was very little dam
aged, and that mostly by water. The
members of the firm will go to work
to take the half-cured hides out of the
watts at once.
1t now looks like no deaths will re-
suit from the fire. Charles Beck was
much improved yesterday. Drs'
Vance and Perdom, who attended
him, think there is very little danger
OF his injuries proving fatal.
Henry j. Hallenberg, another OF
the men who jumped from the fourth
story window, was resting more cas-
lily yesterday. He was more serious
ly hurt than any of the other victims,
and it is feared that he is internally
injured. DR.. Anderson, his physi-
clan, however, thinks he will recov-
er.
William Baker suffers intense
pains, although his injuries are not
considered so serious as the others.

MOST SOLEMN PROTEST.
A Gard From the Brothers of
David H. Poston.
They Oppose the Signing of a Petition for
Mercy for Murderer II. Clay King
Their Reasons.

In view Of the fact that a petition
is in circulation for the Communication
of the death sentence of H. Clay
King, the following card was pub.
lished in the Memphis papers yester-
day:
80 the Public:
"On March 10, 1891, our brother,
David H. Poston, whilst peaceably
walking along Main street, unarmed
and unsuspicious of danger, was shot
down by III. Clay King. Our broth
er was a law-abiding citizen, who
had given his murderer no just cause
for his brutal and cowardly deed.
When we looked upon his stricken
form and beheld the bloody work of
the assassin, our natural impulse was
to avenge his death. But we our
selves are law-abiding men and felt
as citizens and fathers Of families,
that we owed it to this community
neither to take nor advise any rash
step and to leave II. Clay King to
the courts Of the country. He has
been fairly tried by jury and an
impartial court and sentenced to
death. The Supreme Court of Ten
nessee has affirmed the sentence, and
now a petition is being circulated for
his pardon or Communication of SEN
tence by the Governor.
eve ask the people Of Memphis is
there anything in the history Of his
crime which calls for mercy? Did
any sentiment OF mercy stay the
hand which fred upon an unarmed
and defenseless man? Is it true that
King has been already sufficiently
punished, as is being now suggested ?
So do not say the widow and father
less children OF David H. PostOn, and
unless we mistake its temper 50 do
not say the people among Whor he
was born and lived his blameless life.
Aside from the personal feeling il
seems to us th' question often asked,
whether man Of prominence and
fortune can be punished in this com
munity for murder VIII find its prac-
teal answer in this case, and we, in
common with all other law abiding
citizens, are vitality interested in
what this answer shall be.
"For the wife and children of II
Clay King we have only feelings OF
kindness and sympathy, but neither
we nor this people are dealing with
them, We solemnly protest, there,
fore, against this community inter
posing itself by signatures to peti
ton for pardon or commutation o
sentence that is now being circulated
between II. Clay King and the due
execution Of the sentence of the law
that has been pronounced upon him

A T amily Row.

Monroe Ellis, negro al Sadlers-
vile, raised rumpus with his wife
Sunday and she used a razor on him,
giving him a rake across the throat,
which came near severing the jugular
vein. Ellis had been separated from
his wife some time, and observing
her in company with another man,
he undertook to administer good
whipping, which resulted as above.
