The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1894-10-26

We do not believe in villification and
abuse as campaign argument and regret
the necessity of bringing up the pastre-
cord of the Republican party in this
county, but when the Democratic annex
the News-comes out with the state
ment that when the Populists took con-
troll of this county it was in good shape,
it is so false, and so generally known to
be so by all the old settlers of this
county, that it is hardly necessary to
drag out that shameful record for
those who may have moved into the
county since the Populists came into
control. We have sought to avoid that
shameful record of defalcation, en-
bezzlement and misrepresentation of
county funds, for the reason that the
same men who were defending these
defaulters and embezzlers are today at
Goodland, the head and forefront of
Republicanism, and on the throne
dictate the policy of the party here,
and, furthermore, several of these very
record makers yet claim GOodland as
their home; and they, also, are wheel
horses in the county g. o. p.
By statements known to be false,
Tenant, whose record for boodlinR is
notorious from the county seat fight
up, seeks to make it appear that because
there is no money in the county general
fund now, that the commissioners
have been extrayagant, and to prove it
says that the carp pond cost $1,000.
This is their record of Extravaganza.
Mr.. Tenant does not tell his readers
that if the owners of over 700 quarters
of land in this county had been able to
pay their taxes there would be money,
and to spare, in the general fund. He
does not tell that by vote of the people
5000 has been paid out of the general
fund for additions to the court house
and not one cent of bonds issued there
for. He says nothing about the two
years of crop failures and the conse-
quent reduction of receipts, or the en-
larged expenditures for assistance to
unfortunate settlers. All these matters
Tenant overlooks and assumes that
the readers of his paper will do the
same.
If we are compelled to, next week we
will show up the record of Republican
party in this county. and viii give some
facts in regard to their boodling, en-
bezzlements, ETC., that viii not be very
pleasant reading to some of the Re-
publican bosses in Goodland.
It is true these matters are old, but
they are the only record the Repubi-
can party has made in this county, and
the men identified with the boodling
and embellishments cannot hope to
cover up their course by crying 'stop
theft"

Mrs. James Crosby of Griswold, left
for an extended visit to her old home
at FranklinviIle, N Y, on Monday. Her
many friends gave her surprise party
on Saturday evening. The programme
consisted of a grand vocal and instru-
mental serenade in front of the house,
after which the party took possession
of the house where there were singing,
Rotations, etc. A comic recitation in
character was rendered by one of the
party which put everybody in good hu-
NOR Supper was served at II o'clock
to which all did ample justice. The fun
continued into the ''wee sma' hours
of the morning. The party was gen.
uine surprise and one that will be long
remembered by all who participated in
it, especially by Mrs. Crosby.
A. NJ. Brennaman, chairman of the
Cheyenne county Republican central
committee, is offering to send passes
to any one who has left that county to
come back and vote the Republican
ticket for congressman and represen-
tative. Do the farmers of northwestern
Kansas want man in congress who is
so badly wanted by the railroad com
panies that they are willing to furnish
passes to anyone to come back and
vote for the railroad candidate Ellis?
Why. oh, why, did Bill Brown fail to
issue the registration notice and have
it published as is required by law? For
the same reason that he had men sec
reilly notifying unregistered Republi-
cans to "come up to the office and reg
lister on the q. t." He wanted to knock
out few Populist votes. Such skull
dugger won't work, Billy.

fully appreciated. The Cushman or.
chestra furnished the string music.
The Peoples party is not making Its
campaign on challenges, as is the case
with the Republicans, but it might be
well to let the people know that the
challenging Republicans refused thrice

that Populists are not wanted in that
organization, in fact no one but Re
publicans.
PopuIist resolutions, Populist plat
forms, Populist speakers and Populists
are all arrayed against that iniquity of
the 18th century, the A. P. A. There
is not word of truth in the statement
that Mr.. Teagarden belongs to, or is in
any way connected with the abOmbi-
able order. It is malicious, uncalled
for, damnable and devilish lie, manu-
featured from bolt of uncut cloth,
which is worthy of it's origin, Repubi-
can headquarters.
Those who are we'll acquainted with
Mr.. Teagarden know that there is no
truth in the statement and do not
hesitate to brand it as lie.
The only A. P. A. men in Goodland,
or in Sherman county, will be found in
the ranks of the Republican party,
working for Republican candidates,
and running for office on the Republi-
can ticket.

the evening air, carried one back to
tike scenes in eastern homes in years
gone by. The effervescent spirit of
Kansas people help to make a merry
making merry at all times and this was
no exception. The social was the most
successful one of the season and the
popular host and hostess have the
thanks of all attending.
The Dark Horse is bowling because
the Republican meeting at Topland
didn't materalize. These are excusing
themselves on the failure by blaming
Mr.. Hartzler with having the key to
the school house. A good, honest Re
publican came in and told The Re-
PUBLIC that he lives near Topland and
had deciphered the article in the
Horse, blaming Mr. Hartzler for having
the key and that he felt ashamed that
anyone should claim such thing. He
said: "No one knew of the meeting.
Even the postmaster, who lives right
next to the school house, and is Re-
publican was not aware of the meeting.
No one else knew of it down there, as
it was only published in the Dark
Horse and no ever reads that"
Attorney General Little is usually
addressed as Judge" although he has
never held a judicial position. Like
all unearned titles, the dignity came to
him by accident. When he settled in
johnson county excitement over the
Black Bob lands ran high and meet
ings Of the squatters were frequent.
One Saturday, soon after his arrival, he
went with a crowd of politicians and
lawyers to the Black Bob district to
take part in meeting. ALI the others
had been there before and their
speeches lacked interest. But Little,
who modestly stood in the background,
was newcomer An old squatter, who
had formed casual acquaintance with
him, spied him and cried out: Il see
my old friend, Judge Little, in the
crowd. Judge, come up and give US a
talk. Introducing the blushing and
boyish-looking young man, the squat
ter said: Friends, introduce the
Hon. Judge Little, who has come all
the way out here from Ohio to help US
in our fight" This pleased the squat
tiers, who yelled their appreciation, and
Judge" Little made such a favorable
impression by his speech that he was
at once retained as an attorney and
has been employed in the case ever
since.

The Republicans say that the dollar
will buy more today than ever before

Died, at the asylum in Winfield,
Kan, on Oct. 13, Lee Turner, aged
years, 9 months and Is days. Mrs.
Jessie Turner, the chi1d's mother, had
taken him to the asylum from Good
land some three months ago, the little
fellow having suffered for five years
from a spinal and nervous disease
which deformed his body and seemed
to destroy his reason. While death has
apparently come as a relief to the lit
tie sufferer, yet his death is sore
affection to his mother, who has the
sympathy of this community in her
sorrow.
Now isn't that great, that Captain
TAFT should claim that the attachment
of the Dark Horse was a PopuIist
scheme? A leading Republican told
Captain TAFT, when he threatened to
close the Horse unless the Republican
candidates paid him certain sum of
money. that there was much worse
thing he could do to the Republican
party of Sherman county than closing
the Dark Horse, and that was to run it.
When Republicans feel that way, it
stands to reason that the Peoples
party men should continue to hope
that the Horse VIII be kept on It's legs
until after election at least.

II is a popularity about the public
statues in New York city that they have
had to be provided by popular subscrip-
ton with little or no aid from the city.
An exception to the rule is the monu-
ment in Madison square erected in 1857
in honor OF Major General Worth. The
6ity paid for that. Most of the other
statues have been erected by private en-
terprises.
individuals paid for the bronze statue
of Franklin on Printing House square,
that Of Alexander Hamilton in Central
park, the statue Of Daniel Webster in
the same place and the Irving statue in
Bryant square. The Scotch residents of
New York contributed to the erection Of
the Scott statue in Central park in 1871
and of the Robert Burns statue in 1880.
The German citizens of New York pre-
sented the bronze bust of Humboldt on
the one hundredth anniversary of his
birth, in 1859, and ten years before that
they had provided for the expense of the
Schiller statue in Central park. The
French citizens of New York raised the
money for the Lafayette statue erected
in Union square in 1875, Irish citizens
for the bust of Thomas Moore, erected in
Central park in 1880; the Venezuela
residents of New York for the equestrian
statue Of Bolivar in 1884, and the Ital-
ian residents of New York for two
statues-that of Mazzini, erected in Cen
trail park in 1878, and the Garibaldi
statue, erected in Washington square a
few years later.
The statue of Holley, the civil engi-
neer, was unveiled in 1890 by the civil
engineers, and the telegraphers gave the
statue of Professor Morse in Central
park, which was erected in 1871. The
German singing societies contributed
the statue of Beethoven erected in Cen
trial park in 1884, and the postmen fur.
nished that of S. S. Cox, erected in Astor |
place. The Lincoln statue in Union |
square was erected by popular subsorip- |
ton in. 1865. The equestrian statue of |
George Washington on the same square
is many years older. The latest statue
Of Washing ION was erected ON the sub
steps facing Broad street in
1889. There are three statues of illus

nent. They perpetuate the memories of
