From Father to Son.

L. N. Grill has conceived the idea
that he is an orator. Some fellow
has done the boy an irreparable in
jury by telling him he CAN make a
speech.
Some days ago a crowd Of men
were citing in the court house when
Louis Rannum strolled in. One Of
the party asked him whether he was
going to attend Crill's meeting that
night.
"No sir" vas his emphatic reply,
81 have heard him twenty-three
times, and the speeches were all the
same. l heard his father make the
AMI speech before he died. / can
repeat Crill's speech from beginning to
end" and he did give them a good
portion Of the Richlander's haran.
que.
This is a case OF handing things
down from father to SON, but it is a
rare thing that political speeches are
among the plumber. If young Grill
could only have had several fathers
he might have amounted to some
thing. This is a case where a sup
ply Of fathers would come in mighty
handy.

What Will Result II the Election
Goes q Csrtainsvvay.
Two years ago N. A. Kirk, the
present county Judge, WAL already
to 60 t. Hot Springs, s. D., il the
election went against him. II is un-
derstood, in fact it is given as author
ity by members Of his household,
that he viii go there yet this fall il
he is not rejected. He is only stay
ing in Union county for what he can
get out Of holding office.
+. w. Miller, candidate for states
attorney came back to this county
for the same Office, aud that was the
only thing that ever brought him to
this county from Forest City. It is
doubtful il he will remain if not re-
elected. Mr.. Miller is probably one
Of the greatest winkers at open
saloons on record. He has permit
ted all who desire to run wide open.
Two years ago Ronell stated that
if he failed to get elcted lie would
leave the county within twenty-four
hours. 1t is reliably reported that
he has not changed his mind in the
least, but will leave ii defeated.
Sheehan candidate for county sup
erintendent, is not permantly an
chored. He has a location looked
up.
Gentlemen, these are the men
who want your votes or they viii
leave your county. 1t might be II
good thing TO let them go.

fNNr4laEHarFa
For two months the Oath Of o.
tober has been advertised 40 the
date for . great independent meet
ing at this point, but the dreams Of
the enthusiastic were turned into
nightmares last Monday. The
crowd in attendance was about one
Of the smallest that ever gathered in
Elk Point on q similar OCCASION.
Seats and tables were erected in
the court house yard, mostly for
women and children. in the after
noon Senator Kyle and HI. Loucks
delivered addresses to a very small
audience. The singing by the
"Three Graces" and the music by
the Jefferson band was about all
that held the crowd. Loucks had
the same old harangue about power
ty and calamity. Senator Kyle
was a sad disappointment. He is
one of the d~ryest and poorest orators
that ever attempted to speak in
Union county. In the evening the
same parties held a seance in the
opera house, and talked calamity
until after II o'clock, and would
have talked longer if anyone would
have remained to listen. When
they closed the few who remained
were sleepy and tired.
All in all the meetings of Mon
day were dismal failures. The
speakers failed to enthuse the peo-
pie, which indicates the distrust the
people feel in the leaders and their
doctrines.

Columbus day exercises by the
school children Of Elk Point last
Friday were Of the most interesting
kind. The little people, some three
hundred strong headed by several
members Of the Grand Army with a
flag, marched from the school house
to the opera house. The exercises
there consisted Of good addresses by
Rev. G.. w. Freeman and Ira T..
Nichols and singing by the little
people. The vocal selections were
exceptionally appropriate and finely
rendered. II was indeed q pleasant
sight to see these children, the pride
Of our happy homes, thus congrega-

happiness and spoke volumes for

MURPHY'S TROUBLES.
The laxative Hanco Brought up Short by
John HcKeller.

The Talkastve Hanco Brought mp Short by
John AcKeller.
Hance Murphy is not shrewd pol
i~tician, and his political friends are
beginning to doubt whether he is
any politician at all. In fact it has
reached a point where Hance has
been requested to submit his speech
rs to an advisory board before he
dare unload them. This a. comes
from some Of Hance's fearful breaks.
In the inner circles of the independ-
ent ring the opinion is growing that
some republican is stufing Hance,
knowing he will nse it, which will
act as a boomerang to the independ-
ent party. But this is not the case,
as Hance hates a republican too bad
to talk to him.
The latest break Hance has made
and which gave the loquacious indie
pendent a case of genuine swamp
ague last Monday, a the story he
peddled about John McKeller and
Commissioner Main. Hance told
all who would listen that Main told
McKeller he would raise his salary
500 as superintendent Of the poor
farm if he would vote and work for
him. Hance got a little tangled in
the story and told some parties that
he had it direct from McKeller.
This came to McKeller's ears, and
he made a special trip to Elk Point
| Monday to see Hance. Their meet
ing was lively from the jump
mighty lively for Hance. OF course
he had to tell John he never said he
told him, but had heard it from an
other party-the towards handy
mode Of retreat. During tho con-
versation Hance was willing to say
he did not believe the story, in fact
Hance was SO frightened he vas
mighty anxious to admit anything.
It is to be hoped that the sorry
lesson Hance Murphy learned last
Monday will do him good. He, Of
all others, has been the great ped
der Of SANDER, and were it not that
the public Is cognizant Of his one
great failing he might lave done the
republicans some harm. One thing
j. csrtain he will be very careful
what le says about John Nickel.

T.. w. Miller. 1t does not take a

this in Union county for about
twenty years. 1t would seem that
the old soldiers and others whom
he has stabbed on every occasion
could not swallow him. Is menu
DRY so short that any former repub-
lican can compromise with his con-
science enough to cast a vote for

sible. The COURIER does not be-
lieve that men can change SO sool.

If Sheehan is giving his Whole
time to the public schools of Union
county, people from all over the
county are telling some bad stories
about him. As every parent has a
direct interest in the education Of
his children, and as our school tax
is by far the largest Of any paid,
there is a general desire that the
man placed at the head of the
schools give them his attention in
stead of devoting his time to CAM
paining. Voters and tax payers can
make good money by looking into
this matter before election.
From what can be learned young
Jameson was only put on the ticket
as Independent trading stock. He
appeared to know from the start
that at a certain time he would be
gently forced aside to complete a
deal. 1t is hard to see how a young
man who expects to build up a bus
mess and reputation can afford to
be q party to such a scheme. De-
feat at the polls would have been no
disgrace. 1t would have been far
better for Mr.. Jameson, from u bus
mess stand point, to have taken his
chances at.the polls. A young man
of his ability and prospects cannot
afford to cloud his future.
