DENNY DONOVAN and his friends
are not feeling very good over the re-
suit of the convention held here and
are not tearing their shirts. While
Donovan doesn't blame Shook for
securing the nomination, he does
charge him with creating sentiment
yainst him before the convention,
by misstatement and misrepresenta-
tion. Denny isn't saying much now
but Henry county will be heard from
later on.-Van Vert Republican.
Just keep on hugging that delusion,
Mr.. Republican, and on the morning
after the election you will find about
5000 majority on the Shook side. Mr..
Donovan is perfectly satisfied with
the nomination of Mr.. Shook, and as
for Henry county, she certainly will
be heard from, now and later on. The
Hon. John. s. Shook will have any
thing over 1000 majority in the
county, and our Democracy are en-
thusiastic for him.

MANY people out in the country be-
lieve Bro. Russell of the Signal is out
Of the postoffice and has his head
quarters in the auditors office, which
of course is not so. But it is not
strange that people get the idea, as it
is fact, which has become notorious
and by-word, that our Republican
postmaster spends more of his time
nosing in and around the county
auditors Office than he does attend
ing to the duties of postmaster! The
neglect of his official duties is becom-
ing quite marked and if complaint is
not made to the department it will
not be for lack of evidence. His Wis
it's to the county auditors office are
almost wholly for political purposes
and in the interests of the Republican
party in this county, in warfare they
are waging upon our Democratic
county officials, solely for the purpose
of benefitting the Republican cause.
Such actions are not tolerated by the
postoffice regulation and are grounds
sufficient for the removal of our Re-
publican postmaster, and if a Demo
cratic administration does not call for
his resignation it is recreant to it's
trusts and the interests of the people

OK Monday eveningthe lower house
passed the tariff bill as amended by
the Senate, bringing to an abrupt
close the long drawn out fight over
the Wilson bill in both houses. There
is no doubt now but that the bill will
become law, even II the President
does not give it his signature. But it
is hoped President Cleveland will
sign the bill. 1t is not just the tariff
reform the people want, but it is the
best that could be given them under
existing circumstance, and N a great
improvement over the Mckinley bill,
as it rights many of the iniquitous
provisions of that law. The lower
house has also passed seperate bills
placing on the free list sugar, iron.
coal and barbed wire, which measures
are now pending in the Senate.

There's Something Behind l..

From the reading of the call issued
by President Mcbride for a confer
ence composed of delegates from all
labor organizations in the State, it
looks, to man up tree, at least,
now that John has lost his hold, po-
liticaly, and can not again get hold of
public seat through the Democrat
ic party, he is ready to hitch M with
the Populists. and wants all members
of organized labor to go with him.
John is sly and there is a ''nigger in
the wood-pile' in this move some
where. We don't think even if con-
ference of representatives of all the
labor organizations in the State do
agree to fuse with the Populists, that
they can turn over the ranks and file.

unsavory record than that made by
the editor of the Signal while he was
auditor of this county for three years,
yet he has the brazen gall to pose be-
fore the people of this county as the
immaculate. Time and again we have
proved him prevaricator and hyp-
ocrite, but his persistence in misrep-
resentation makes it our painful duty
to unmask him again.
Geo. Russell has been making much
ado about the unexpended funds in
road improvements, which funds he
says should be certified back to the
various townships. Well, We ask him
again why he did not do so when he
was county auditor2
The closing up of the accounts of
every road Improvement having a sur
plus on hand was done by Geo. Rus
sell himself, when he was auditor, and
not one dollar was certified back by
him to the townships. Now he has
got the extreme gall to censure his
successor, who had nothing at all to
do with any Of these road improve
ments, with neglect of duty in not
certifying back money, which he
should have done himself, if that was
the law.
Let us see: Road Improvement No.
ID was settled up on the auditors fund
book September 1st, 1889, by Geo.
Russell, then auditor, and a surplus
of $S5.79 ascertained (see page 1889.
Why did he not certify this to the
proper township, as he was auditor
until the I'd week in Sept, 1891?
Road improvement No. IS (see page
1859 was closed up by Auditor Geo.
Russell with surplus of $92.15 on
Sept. 1st, 1880, but not one dollar of
this did he certify to the proper town
ship! Also, he was in office for two
years afterwards.
Road improvement No. 10 (see page
159) the last tax collection was made
in June, 1890; the last outstanding
bond was paid in Geo. Russelrs own
handwriting by order No. 1896 B. on
December 18th, 1890. Since then Au-
ditor Russell made two settlements
but not one dollar of the $4,000
surplus did he certify to the proper
township, as he now claims should
have been done.
Road improvement No. % (see page
175) the last tax collection was made
in June, 1890; the last order No. 6134
was paid out by auditor Geo. Russell
July 18th, 1890. He found a surplus
on hand of $1672S, and was in office
after these transactions for over a
year, but not one cent has he certifi-
ed back to the proper townships!
When Mr.. Resh came into office,
these road improvements were com
pleted long ago and the last collections
and payments made during his pre-
decessors time. Mr.. Resh never had
anything to do with them and had
the right to suppose that his prede-
cessor had complied with the law and
certified back to the various town
ships such amounts as the law re-
quired him to do. Now he is censured
by Geo. Russell for not doing what
Geo. Russell should have done him
self. Here is your model ex-preacher,
q hypocrite with big III" How
do the people like him?
