Trickery.
The Same Old Game, but this Time
Athwartcd.

AtHhuEItu.
The Republicans of Fairfield
County were slick enough to put
on the election board two members
whose consciences were not subject
to being smitten by the doing of
that which they knew to he wrong.
They were acquainted with the
fact that the fight between Slough
and Martin was very close, and
were watching for any tecnicality
to dodge in and defeat Slough.
When they opened the tally sheet
of Berne Township the opportunity
presented itself. The judges and
clerks of this precinct, honest as
sums rays, had agreed to tally the
counts the old way, viz; when
ticket is straight they called it so
and marked one mark opposite the
words straight Republican," or
straight Democrat, "and this saved
the time of marking for each man.
When all were counted they added
the "straights" to the credit of each
candidate on the respective tickets
and carried out the totals regular.
ly. There was nothing wrong
about this, except it was a little
old fashioned, but perfectly honest.
These pias Republican supervisors
saw that 69 mixed votes were cast
for Martin and II for Slough; that
if they threw out all straight tick
cts and counted the mixed, that
Martin would have lead in this
precinct Of SO instead of Slough
having IA majority of !, as was the
actual and honest count, and that
as the district was very close, per-
haps this difference would defeat
Slough. This was the whole dam
nable scheme, fostered 10y some
rotten minds in Fairfield who have
fought Slough vigorously, because
he has ever been lover of the
right, foe forever of the wrong.
The Democratic members insisted
on counting the whole tally sheet
as was the honest intention of the
officers OF the precinct, but the Re.
publican members like drowning
rats, hung to the straw for two
days, in dead lock. In the mean
time the balance of the vote in the
district had been canvassed and
the Democratic members OF the
election board seeing that Slough's
majority was greater than they
suppo sed, they let the count go
mixed votes and the straight votes
thrown out, the voters of the pre-
cinct DISTINGUISHED. Slough's ma
jority now we learn is AZ and he
was rendered his certificate of elec-
ton. The scheme drew the ma
jority Of Hon. Jno. j. LEM very
close also, which will be contested
and the Infamous Congress will
unseat him.
Judge Slough will hold court in
Fairfield next term just as regular
and we hope he will squeeze the
tar out OF some of those little peo-
pie who thought to steal his honor
ed seat from him. Judge Slough
has made a careful and honest
Judge and not but the skum OF his
party have cut him in this contest.

Middle of the Road Men Rule in
Kansas-WatsOn Endorsed.

Abilene. Kan, Aug. s.-The populist state
convention was opened to-day by the com
mittee on resolutions, which submitted
a platform indorsing the national pop
ulist code Of principles. severely arraign~
ing the republican state administration,
and demanding the enactment of a max
lmum freight rate bill by the next legis-
lature.
The committee. in its report, neglected
to mention the populst nominees for Pres
ident and Vice President. This was no
ticed by the 'mlddle-of-the-road" element,
and there was fight on the question of
indorsing the candidacy of Watson for
Vice President. After a stormy debate,
the names Of Bryan and Watson were
injected into the resolutions. and tele-
grams were ordered sent to the populist
state conventions OF Texas, Georgia,
Pennsylvania and Nebraska, notifying
them of the action taken. This was done
at a time when il was known that the
/ convention In conference committee APP
pointed yesterday had reached an agree
ment with the democratic committee,
which practically accepted on behalf of
the popuists the proposition made by the
! democrats to name the presidential elect
/ ors, and the populist all candidates for
| state offices and ongressman-at-large.
The only condition attached to the or
| iginal proposition was that, If outside of
/ Kansas there were more votes in the
! electoral college for Watson than for
! h90WelAt Aiieit AAAD ANdiAoda NAtNAbIS vote
/ for Watson, but If on the other hand
! Sewall should receive the most votes out
| side of Kansas, that he be given the vote
of this state. A minority report is also
| in readiness, which will demand the nom
nation of a straight populist electoral
! ticket.
Judge Frank Doster of Marion county
was nominated for chief justice on the
| first ballot. When the afternoon session
| opened there was a lively fight over the
| report of the conference committee but
| ii was finally adopted, and the electors
named by the democrats at Hutchinson
| Tuesday were nominated. One of the
| electors-MorTis Cliggett of Pittsburg
Kan, was objected TO by representative
of the coal miners union on the ground
that he was against them in the strike
three years ago. The state central com
| mittee was instructed TO investigate the
charge, and If il was found to be true

Galveston, Aug. 6.-The populists state
convention didn't adjourn until nearly
midnight, but began business again at
o'clock this morning. The report OF the
credentials committee was satisfactory to
the convention, but the platform threw
the convention into a snarl over the pro-
posed amendments.
One Of these limits the salary Of any
state or county official to a maximum of
$1,000. Another favors the abolition of
the fee system OF payment for officials
and the substitution of salaries.
Not including a recess for dinner and
supper, the convention was I'm session fif-
teen hours to-day, from a. m, to II p
m After a long fight over the platform
to-day and the adoption of portion of 1t
and the sending back of the remainder to
the committee for revision, the convention
got down to nominations. Jerome G.
c.. Kearby was unanimously nominated
for governor, and G. H. Pasby was NOM
mated for iieutenant-governor by accia-
nation.
Among the amendments to the platform
that were adopted was one making the
maximum salary to be paid to state or
county officials $1,000 and abolishing the
fee system. There was a strong effort
made to amend the plank in the platform
referring to national politics so as to de-
clare that the convention Endorsed the ac-
ton of the Texas delegates to the popu-
list convention at st. Louis, and announc-
ing that Texas would not stand by Bryan
unless the democrats accepted Watson as
Bryan's running mate. The amendment
was sent to the platform committee and
will be heard from tomorrow
A resolution was unanimously adopted
to copyright the platform when II was
adopted. The mover of this explained that
he wanted to prevent the democratic par
ty from stealing it,
kilograms of congratulations were eX-
changed with the populist conventions in
session in Kansas and Nebraska. The
convention is expected to adjourn to-mor-
row.
