From every part Of the county
come assurances that the lying course
Of the Monitor in manufacturing con-
versations which never occurred is
not endorsed by Populists. Nearly
every candidate on the Pop ticket has
expressed himself to the REFLECTOR
as regretting Struble's fool break and
the secretary Of the central commit
tee has been importuned to make the
Monitor shut its mouth before every
possible hope Of success is blasted.
The indications are that the Monitor
will keep on lying and the ticket will
keep on losing votes. When the
gang bought out the Dispatch and
turned it over to an opposition paper
to prevent it revealing the tricks that
were in prospect it lost better advo-
cate than the fool Monitor has been.

Political Prostitution.

A calm, cool-headed view Of the
manipulation Of political wires in
dulged in by the 20 alleged Demo-
Pops who constituted a Democratic
mass convention Saturday compels
the judgment that it was the most
shameless prostitution Of politics
ever seen in Dickinson county. We
very much miss our guess II those 20
men can lead the 500 Democrats Of
Dickinson county whittier they desire
simply by such farcial proceedings as
Saturdays convention. Most Of the
manipulators also attended the Pop
ulist caucuses and gave their allegi-
ance to that aggregation Of nonsense.
The kind Of deal that the Demo-
Pop fxers have put up will have one
good effect: 1t will teach the Repub-
licans and every lover Of decency in
politics that there is nothing to be
gained by pandering to promises Of
support from this gang, whose high
est ambition is to jerk the wires SO as
to handle both Pops and Republicans
at the same time.
A few weeks ago they very ingeni.
ously engineered scheme by which
they succeeded in getting Democrats
into the two best positions on the
Populist county ticket. By this ar
rangement they hope to combine the
Populist and Democratic vote Of the
county and defeat the Republican
candidates. 1t is exceedingly doubt
full II the better element Of either
party will endorse this mongrel
ticket.
If nothing else had walked up the
Republicans Saturdays meeting
would have done so. They won't be
fooled this year, mark that. By
united and earnest work they will
wipe the unholy Demo-Pop combina-
ton off the face Of the earth.

Republicans Not in It.

The socalled non-partisan conven-
ton held in Abilene on August "a
named 22 Republicans among its list
Of delegates and alternates to attend
the Herington convention last Satur-
day. Only a half dozen of the list
were present at the Abilene conven-
ton. Mr.. Morehouse, the secretary
Of the Hcringlon convention, has sent
the REFLECTOR a list Of the delegates
who were admitted to seats in that
convention last Saturday, and among
the list there are Just five Of the Re-
publicans who were included in the
Abilene convention list, namely: j..
M.Hodge, J.J. Schneider, C.Hoffman,
J. A. Hopkins and Daniel Weaver.
TO fill out the delegation it was nee
essary to pick up Tom, Dick and Har-
ry who happened to be on the streets
of Herington that day. Out of the
entire list which were admitted as
Dickinson's delegates to the Herring
ton convention only eight Republic
cans are named. 1t will thus be seen
that the Herington convention was
overwhelmingly Democratic. The
Republicans do not propose to be
forced-not this year-to vote a DEM
ocratic ticket.

Judge Humphrey has set at rest
