How About This.

While great deal has been said pro
and con regarding the citizenship of
those who have taken land i'm the Strip
and the attorney general has ventured
an opinion in the matter. the man with
the town lot has been sadly neglected.
He made the race to the best of his
ability, and 20 be overlooked in so i'm
portant a subject is unfair, to say the
least. While we do not believe his
opinion In total would be sustained in
supreme court test case, and hold. as
we always have, that man is allowed
SIX months in which to commence
residence, yet those who have been SO
enthusiastic in support of the contrary
opinion as expressed by the attorney
general will of course be equally as iub-
liant over another opinion received from
him later. AT all events it is good in
one case If 1T SIS in another. and if the
one Is adopted rs the policy in this
election The other should be as strongly
enforced. The opinion is regarding
town lots. in answer to letter from
Mr.. Beals, and reads as follows:

A Watch with a HI ,tory.

A singular old hand made watch has
been for half century in the posses
sion of a venerable citizen of Philadel-
phia, named Kirk 1t was made by
Philip Lukens. who used it as regu-
lator for the clock in the old state
house. timepiece which he also con-
structed The old clock is now a fea-
ture of the townhall, Germantown, and
it's melodious bell, into the construc-
ton of which one Thousand silver dol
lars entered, strikes the hours accu-
rately So does the odd little watch,
for it also has bell attachment The
watch was sent to London some time
ago. and repaired at cost of fifty dol
lars. so that it may run for enother
century. if no accident befall it.

ids used by their political opponents
Every man on the ticket was put there
to be elected and not to trade. Good
men were nominated for the places to
be filled, men against whom naught can
be said, and in asking the suffrage of
voters they are honest and consclenci-
Gus. Touching their qualifications We
have comments elsewhere in this Issue.
The democratic convention has been
discussed quite thoroughly in Our col
umnS heretofore, and It's character full
ly demonstrated to the public. The
Stalwart element secured control of the
body by joint scheming with the re-
publican leaders in this city, and hav-
ing secured a majority vote nominated
ticket in the interest of the favored
ones on the republican ticket. This
was done over the protest of the liberal
and patriotic element of democracy
and In way that carried an insult to
every one who voted the pOpulist ticket
last fall That it was done in the IN
tereSt of one or two on The republican
ticket there is not a doubt. The action
OF the convention that forced Mr.. Bail
ey OFF the pOpulist ticket was concocted
by caucus of republicans and stalwarts
because they feared the populist ticket.
and who can say il was not in the in
terest of republicans? The men NOM
mated on the ticket were among the
best men in the county, but tins fact
only adds more evidence in support of
the generally known truth. that the
ticket was put up to catch the liberal
democrats while the stalwarts them
selves propose To vote straight repub-
lican ticket. The fact is too plain to
admit of any doubt.
In considering the ticket to support
at this election the voter must remem
Der that one of the two tickets are to
be elected, pOpulist or republican, and
1t remains with him TO decide which il
shall be. There are two ways Of vot
ing so 1t shall be republican, that of ]
voting the republican ticket straight or
the ticket puts up by the slalwarts,
while there is only one way to prevent
1t from being republican, which is To
vote the populist ticket straight. The
present condition of politics makes
this true aud every man should appre-
ciale the situation. Remember when
you vote that one of the two is going
to be elected. Which shall it be?

A Word 10 Voters.

AS this is the last issue of the INDEX
to come before the people prior to the
county election it might he we'll to
whisper few words of sound advice 10
voters. Never before has politics been
in the condition in Barber county that
exists this year, and never before has
there been such necessity for the ex-
erclse Of principle in local campaign
Three tickets have been placed in the
field by the three political organizations,
and we will say for them what our con-
temporarIes have not had the truthful
ness CD admit, that three tickets with
men of better personal character were
never placed before the voters of this
county asking for their suffrage But
there are other things to consider, ad-
hitting the personnel of all tickets to be
OF equal merit, which must not be for
gotten. The REGULAR trend of events
governing the various nominations pre-
sent phrase of the question that OBJ
literates matters of personal friendship
i'll many instances. We are compelled
to measure the tickets by the methods
and principles used i'll their selection.
In rejecting over the methods used
this fall the republican convention first
greets the eye, as a convention in which
the slate OF professional fxers was car
ried thrOL gh unbroken. 1t was put up
with very evident intention of sacrltic-
ing part OF the ticket for the election
of one or two, and among the number to

left a leg on the battle field in the civil
war. Al this was depicted in glowing
cOlors as has been done by republican
conventions for thirty years past, and at
the same time it WAS known by The fix

the stalwart democrats. How they
love the Old soldier The ticket was

gates and empty chairs, and now the
party leaders propose To trade some of
their best men for votes enough to elect
two on the ticket; one because of the
Importance of the office aud another
because of personal advantages to be
derived from his election, by some of
the leaders. These are but few facts
relative to the methods used bv the re-
publican mOguls to retaain their pets at
the public trough.
The populist convention presented
decided contrast. A large delegation
of representative men of Barber county
selected the men they wanted for the
various offices, ignoring the slate meth

Il TICKET.

In the absence Of any semblance of
organized opposition In the party Tam
many Hall has had complete control of
the Democratic county nominations. and
has put forth a ticket which must be
accepted rather as a test OF the kind of
government Tammany proposes to give
us than as an expression of the prefer
ences Of the Democrat tic voters.
1t Is very certain for instance that IL
the preferences of the voters had pre-
vailed, Myers would have been nomi-
mated for Comptroller, and he would un-
doubtedly have greatly strengthened the
ticket. The substitution of any other
name for his Is a, mistake to be re-
GREETED from every point Of view.
During two terms of u most trying
IND responsible office Mr.. Myers has
served the people of New York faith
fully. He has not been merely a firm
and intrepid guardian OF the important
interests Entrusted to him. but he has
shown high financial and executive abil-
fly. by which the city has greatly prof
tied. 1t Is seldom, indeed. thai public
sentiment is 50 unanimous In recogni-
ton OF public service as In the case OF
Mr.. Myers. and 1t was bad politics to
leave him of the ticket.
Another mistake which will not
strengthen Democracy in the county is
h substitution Of Fellows for Nicoll
for Distrtct-Attorney. 1t IL true that
II was Nicoll who put Fellows In noml-
nation, but II is also true tina Nicoll
had previously said that when he sue
ceeded Fellows as District-Attorney he
found the office In bad condition.
1t is evident that Tammany opposes
TO rely not on the strength OF its candi-
dates, but on the strength Of the or
ganization which backs them. This
policy is a safe one In q local election
I'm an of year. and against d feeble and
demoraiized opposition. but II would be
n dangerous one In d close campaign
with wider issues depending on the re-.
suit.
