S36, 600, from the people. Is not
that enough for one man.
is eighteen year in Office
enough for one man? Judge Ell
ison has been in Office that long,
Every Indication deserving
the notice of intelligent men
which has hitherto appeared, has
pointed uuerringly to the fact
that the people of this country,
were never SO we'll off as now, in
the midst of the campaign of ca
lamity which is being waged so
bitterly against the Republican
party. Commissioner Peck's re-
port and the Senate report on
prices have showed this, and they
were backed up by the statements
of half dozen other official re-
ports from various States on in
dustrisl conditions.
IF Judge Ellison wishes to
exert his influence in behalf of
any one, it should be in favor of
that william who, under cover of
night, sneaks up dimly lighted
alley, crawls over back yard
fence, steals across a backyard
lawn, and steathlly enters home
by side door, leaving the i'm
preston that he has entered that
home to pollute its virtue, distroy
its happiness and blast its reputa-
ton. This is the sort of individ-
ual Judge Ellison should be solic-
itous about, instead of one who
has never sought and does not
need the interposition of his
wonderful influence to shield him
flom calumny and public re
proach.
"A very conservative esti-
mate OF the result of the election,
which gives the three votes of
Nevada to Weaver and puts Della
ware, Connecticut, New Jersey,
New York and West Virginia,
several of which are certain to go
Republican, into the doubtful col
umn, gives Harrison and Reid a
certain vote in the electoral col
lege of 225, or two more than is
necessary to elect. This esti-
mate comedies Alabama to Cleve-
land which is more than the aver
age Republican will do; it also
gives Cleyeland, Tennessee and
North Carolina, in which states
many we'll informed people be-
lieve there is fighting chance to
elect anti-cleveland electors.
Last Monday night Judge
Ellison In attempting to answer
the charges of extravaganza in the
awarding of contracts and the
payment of bills for the repairs OF
the Normal building, went out of
his way to express surprise that
the GRAPHIC had published Ger.
tain things about him, when he
had stood between the public and
the editors reputation and kept
it from being crushed. If Judge
Ellison meant by that declaration,
that he had violated his oath of
Office by standing between the ed
itor of the GRAPHIC and any vio-
lation OF law, he uttered a false
hood that is as black as his own
official and political records.
The Adair County Farmer
of last week attempted to deceive |
its readers into the belief that |
Judge Ellison had not tried to get |
his name on the peoples Party |
ticket, and that the Peoples Party |
did not want his name thereon. a |
letter from the Secretary of State,
now on our table, recites that |
Judge Ellison did petition him to
put his (Ellison's) name on the |
the Peoples Party ticket, but as |
the number of signers to that pc
tition was less than the number |
required by law, the application
was not filed. J. G. Fisher, of |
Jefferson City, one of the most |
prominent lawyers in the State, |
also writes that Judge Ellison |
sent petition containing fifty |
names to the Secretary of State,
asking that his name be placed |
on the Peoples ticket. The
petition was defective because
it did not cover the entire
judicial district. When Judge |
