A Reply to Justice No. 2.

EDITOR WORLD: Justice No. {
author etc., in "a Statement of Facts
Not Queries" says: ''The election
hoard of Adair precinct were Josepl
Runnyon, w. D. Lombard and A. A
Cockrell, judges, and D. II: Horton, an'
George Musgrave, clerks" This is
fact but Justice No. 2 has not proven
that the election board were all popu
lists, as he sets out to do, but on tht
contrary proves that two members O
the board were something else.
Now let us take the statement o.
Justice No. 2. "Mr. Horton, on the
day following the election, in reply tc
the question: "are you a democrat?' p
replied that he always had been.
This should be enough to convince an
unprecedented mind that there was at
least one democrat on the board OF
election, as intended there should be,
and what Mr.. Horton was on the day
after election cuts no figure at all in
the case.
Now as Justice No. has been kind
enough to prove Mr.. Horton a demo-
GRAFT and, at the same time, prove that
there were not two populist clerks, I
will try to show why there was not a
republican clerk. Simply because re-
publiCans refused to serve and they all
had opportunities except those that
were candidates, and candidates of
either party were not requested to
serve as clerks or judges of election
neither was l solicited by a candidate
or any one else for q place on the board
of elections and that solicitation re-
fused. Hence the above answers the
queries in regard to republicans and
democrats as well.
"Why we have law at all if it is not
enforced" The undersigned believes
the law to have been carried out in let
ter and spirit; and the only ''kicker"
against the law Gas far as heard from is
this self same Justice No. 2, Author, etc.
Proof: Justice No. 2, Author. etc.
takes exceptions to Mr.. Runyon's re-
questing voters to give their names be-
fore voting, when the law and instruc-
lions say: CATER expressing desire to
vote, he shall give his name, and if re-
quired to do so, his residence, to the
Judges of election, one of whom shall
thereupon announce the same in loud
and distinct tone of voice." The next
"kick'' I shall quote is this: why the
last name gentleman when he is SO par
ticular about the technicalities did not
allow the voter to deposit his own ballot
as the self same law says he shall"
Now to prove that the last named
"kick' is made without cause, shall
quote brief paragraph Of the law and
instructions how to vote. "He then
leaves the booth, hands the ballot to
judge of election in charge of the ballot
box, and quits the space inside the guard
rail"
I could quote decision of the supreme
court as further proof, but the above
should be sufficient to convince the most
skeptical that Mr.. Runyon in this re-
spect complied with the law.
Very respectfully,
JOSHUA MUSGRAVE.

W. D. Lombard lost horse last week.
Dave Griffith is establishing quite a
reputation as a horse-trader.
Lue Howe and sister looked in on the
masquerade at Ellis last Wednesday
evening.
D. H. Horton, Sam Baird, Hiram
Griffith and maybe few others have
among them received a car load OF coal.
Charles Zeigler is assisting Will Clark
in finishing his fall and early winter
work.
F. P. Clark has about forty bushels of
potatoes. No, he didn't buy them; he
raised them.
Mrs. A. S. Hughes and family, of Ellis,
ate dinner on Thanksgiving day with
her sister Mrs. Clark.
H. M. Hallock was called before the
pension examining board at Hays City
on Wednesday of last week.
For the first time in five years it looks
as though Adair would not have a
Christmas entertainment.
No Sunday school, no church, no lit
erary, no entertainments, no dances, no
nothing. That's a mistake, its all moth
ing, socially considered.
Miss Florence Hallock, who has been
in Ellis the greater part of last year, is
once more under the parental roof.
Nett Morton will probably get through
working for Sam Baird on Friday the
22nd if he has no days to make up.
The new school district (42) has sue
cessfully voted bonds, but we hear in q
very roundabout way that all is not yet
serene sailing.
Lue Morton is fond of cranberries but
thinks he would be better off if he
hadn't eat them. They don't go well
with calomel.
Our farmers have raised sufficient corn
to do them this next summer. Several
loads of old corn have been thrown on
the market during this last month.
Miss Grace Hager took an active part
a consequence there was no school the
last three days of the week.
A petition for a road running south
from the southeast corner of Mr.. Christie

might say that there will surely be
struggle if an attempt is made to
abandon the road on the half section line

mate expenses viii be paid by the stockholders

directed not to dispose Of any lots on the south
side Of South avenue TO the railroad between
Grove aud Maple avenues until farther directed
by the stockholders. This caused quite dis
cussion. and the matter 10 all land within
the Grove designed as reservations was -
ferred TO the trustees for report.
