Over at Philippi last week, a wool
buyer came along Offering more for
wool than it sold at before the new
tariff bill went into effect and it
made the Republicans 80 mad that
they stoned him out OK town. 1t
was simply awful for anyone to dare
to do a thing Of this kind right at
the home Of Dayton the Republican
candidate for Congress and we
don't blame the Republicans for
driving him away. They had prob
ably ell taken the advice OF
the Republican papers and pol
iticians, about The free wool scare.
and sold their wool for Is cents a
pound and now It's enough to make
them mad for it to raise from five
to ten cents on the pound.

Il In the discussion Of county Fl.
nances the issue Of who lies IS
not the one that the taxpayers
will consider when they cast their
ballots for or against the county
gang. It is Of no great concern
to the $500 voters Of Nor
rison county whether some indi-
vidual who is not a candidate for
county office is telling the truth
or not. It is not question be-
tween either the Transcript or
Democrat and the county officers.
The county officers are not re-
sponsible to the newspapers for.
the conduct of county affairs, and
the voters are not called upon to
endorse or repudiate the state.
ments of any paper. The, news
papers will not elect or defeat
anyone. That work is the prov
ince of the voter, and elections are
held so he can choose men to his
liking to conduct the county af-.
fairs. The voter should make
every effort to learn what kind Of
service the men. in county office
perform, how they manage county
affairs, and vote accordingly. The
people Of this county want a good
county government. They will
have opportunity to get one, if
they care to. If the taxpayers en-
dorse the acts of the gang who
control Morrison county politics,
it will be a surprise to those who
have given the subject much
study. The taxpayers pay the ex-
pense of any mismanagement, and
if they enjoy the present condition.
they will approve it at the polls by
electlng the Democratic ticket.

HAPPILY ENDED.

of which has just retired from

fcer, publishes the following:
The old politician, after long
and stormy career, had retired
from the field and settled down to
make an honest living. A few
months after his retiracy a friend
met him.
*Well," he said '*you are out of
politics, I UNDERESTIMATE
'*Yes,' - was~>the reply, with a
longdrawn sigh Of relief, ''out of

A Chicago insurance man claims
that the Minnesota forest fires
were set by lumbermen, in order
to cover up their stealings Of pine.
That very suspicious person is
very full Of ignorance about fires
IN Minnesota. Thousands of fires
are started every year in all parts
Of Minnesota, and their effect de-
ponds on the condition of the grass
and trees. This year every hing
was dry, and the fires spread rap
idly. Many causes are response

dltions are right they will do dam

DEMOCRACY,S TRIUMPH.
At the election in 1892 the Dem

At the election III lS91 the Dem
ocratic count ticket IA Morrison
county met with entire success,
and every ndidate was elected.
The county gave the largest Dem
ocratic vote III it's history, and It
did look as though the court house
crowd had solid grip on county
affairs. They .felt free to do as
they chose, and were defiant Of
any interest but their own. They
had just succeeded IN carrying the
county tor that perpetual ofGce
seeker, Joseph i. Meyer, although
it was the third time he had tried
to obtain public support. They
had induced the people to place
Trettle in the probate office in
place of Richardson, and it did
seem as though their will was
supreme in the county.
The court house crowd
therefore began the year
1898 as officers who could do as
they pleased in this county. All
caution or policy was thrown aside,
and an era Of extravaganza un-
known in this or any other county
was inaugurated.. This year, 1893,
was year for economy and saving
in all lines of business and indus
try excepting that Of doing the
public business for Morrison
county. Here our public expenses
were piled up to an amount nev, r
before imagined. The revenue
expenses were swe'led to $25, 1000,
with receipts Of only $4,000 to
pay the expenses. The only ex.
PLANTATION offered is that no one
official is to blame. Indeed it is
true. All are to blame, and if they
are reelected the people will be
to blame.
It is not campaign bowling tc
say that the gang that now run
Morrison county and who seek tc
continue their control of it. are
extravagant and expensive beyond
reason, and that they made during
1898 the worst record for Morrison
county Of any county in the state
The blame rests with Democratic
officers who entirely control the
affairs of the county, and each one
on the present Democratic ticket
deserves defeat for supporting the
the men who are to blame fo5ii
increasing the county revenue
deficiency $4,000 in 1898.
From auditor to commissioners
they should go.

ENTIRELY BAD.

The people of Morrison county
certainly appreciate the many
faults of the local Democratic gov
eminent in county affairs, and the
expenditure of $4,000 a year more
than is received is a fragrant exam
pie Of extravaganza in public mat
ters and wasting Of the peoples
money that deserves a sharp re-
buke. No good reason for such
large expenditures can be given,
and the ohceholders of the county
depend on the former strong Dem
ocratic vote to take them through
the campaign to another success
and further control ofnthe county
matters. The voters of the county
are aroused, and will retire to pr1-
yate life the members of the court
house crowd.
But the voters who are offended
at the Democrat ticket on account
Of county mismanagement, have
also good cause to be dissatisfied
with their party in the nation.
Democratic national rule has
brought to the people, of this
country the greatest financial and
industrial depression the present
generation has known. The pub
lie debt has been increased by $780,
100000 Of bonds. A tariff law
has been passed that Cleveland
said was the work Of party perfdy
and dishonor, and the interests of
the trusts seemed to control ma.
tional legislation. This is all so
different from the pledgeof Demo
crazy in 1892, and so similar to the
predictions Of the Republicans,
that voters have less faith in Dem.
ocracy and more in Republican.
