According to the above the populist
committee and candidates expended
more than the republican, but whether
it is worthy of belief in its entirety or
not, we leave the reader to decide for
himself. If, however, the statements
of our republican friends are to be tax
en- as true, it is no wonder they were de-
feated. They undoubtedly thought it
was the duty of the voters to call on
them for the privilege of casting a re-
publican ballot instead of it being the
duty of the candidates to call on the
voters. In our humble opinion the g.
o. p. candidates forgot some items
as a republican, especially a defeated
Gne, is prone to do. The statement of
the republican committee is ludicrous
one and shows that the whole republi-
can campaign was performed on the
'still hunt" plan. 1t shows, also, that
the republican party of Barber county
don't need central committee to dc
It's financiering and campaign work
But all this is republican politics.
AS to the expenses of the populist
CONF ittee and candidates, we are pre-
pared to say that the expenditures were
perfectly legitimate. and most of it was
spent for livery hire and meals while
making their campaigns.

The silver mass meeting held in the

thing else. II. p. Watts, of Cedar

committee appointed to organize silver
leagues in the county no material ac-
ton was taken. The committee chosen
to do this work consists of Mes srs. Nc
Gregor, Funk and Roessler. No viva
voce vote was taken for the purpose of
obtaining the sentiment of those pres

platform OF '96 to the financial issue,
though from the remarks that were
made it was evident that few were will

The discussion of the high tax ques-
tion in Woods county, o. T., is up to
fever heat. AS we look at it, the
board of county commissioners is re-
ceiving great deal of unjust condem-
nation, whereas the blame should rest
upon the territorial board of equaliza-
ton. The territorial board has made
vicious practice in raising the valua-
ton of large number of counties for
the benefit of favored few, perhaps
for handsome consideration, and the
counties are justly indignant. Indi-
vidual Determinations by township
trustees is also said to have been prac,
ticed to some extent. The disturbance
sufficed to open the eyes OF the resident
taxpayers and it looks as though the
entire imposition will be fought to the
end.
