1t makes attorneys like Charlie
Crawford and b. G. Cranston smile
to think Of Mahan being the nominee
Of their party for judge. They con-
slider 1t huge joke on the commun-
ity.
Shorty Buchanon has located at
Enterprise and a spiritualist is hold
ing forth there every night with table
tippings and other contortions. Our
neighboring town ought to be kept
lively.
Chapman Standard c. N. Hull,
Republican candidate for county
clerk, spent couple days in the
city this week looking after his polit-
ical interests. Charley is rustler
and will "git' there.
VIII G. Anderson has been chosen
local editor Of the Beacon, the weekly
rollcgc paper Of Baker university.

will bc published all the time and
that no flies will be found on the
Beacon.
The Monitors liver is bad again.
1t pounds A. $. Phillips full col
umn because, as 1t says, he has
bought paper at Emporia. He has
not bought any paper anywhere but
the Monitor wanted an excuse to

Our Demo-Pop contemporaries
who are so busy scoring the late la

tor Of the News, saying that he is all
right.
Il. A. Davis, the well known
creamery man, formerly owner Of the
Holland creamery, writes from Val
ley Falls, N. Y, where he is visiting,
that he was recently severely injured
by being attacked by 4 savage bull

the house for several days, but he is
now able to walk out with cane.
Chapman Standard: P. II. Hal
leck, the popular chairman OF the
county central committee, has proved
already to be the proper man for the
position. He Is an unwavering ke-
publican, shrewd politician and
with the advice and cooperation of
his associates he is conducting an ag-
grcssive campaign against the COM
bined forces Of Populism and Democ-
racy that will result in a sweeping
victory for the Republicans OF Dick

der Cleyeland's administration, en-
dorscd Humphrey, a sound money
Democrat, for the judicial bench in
this district, declared for free silver
at a ratio Of 16 to /, and wound up
by endorsing the Populist ticket.
Any Democrat who cannot endorse
part Of these proceedings is hard to
please.
The Enterprise journal quotes
the Hcrington Times as giving Judge
Humphrey credit for his work and
then wants to know what he will do
as delegate to the Republican judi
cial convention. He will be a Repub-
lican, as he always is. The fact that
he is, however, does not prevent his
being fair to all nor does it make him
SO preiudiced as to abuse and mis-
represent anybody. Mr. Crary Is 2
manly and upright Republican and
YOU always find him working for his
party ticket straight
