Element of the county's claim against
ex-county clerk, W. H. Carnes as
he has been with Stewart, his mo-
tives would not be called in question
in this latter instance.
Carnes owed the county about
Sl,6OO.O0 for which suit was in pro.
gress. Carnes himself had offered
TO pay 5000 in satisfaction of the
claim. The case was suddenly taken
from the jury and compromised at

Carnes is Republican; John T..
is Democrat. Mr.. Espy's
motive may have been the very best.
but it looks bad.
We are glad the matter has been
settled. We understand that the
personal property statements will be
more rigidly scanned in future and
that Mr.. Stewart, as we'll as others,
will be compelled to make a proper
showing of their taxable holdings.
This is right. The farmer has to
pay taxes on everything he owns,
and bankers and business men should
do the same.
We understand that others will be
brought before the board to make a
showing in regard to past assess.

rich beyond the cravings Of ambition,
while not paying back single cent
that the government so Obligingly in
trusted TO them.
The campaign Of Huntington and
his associate milliOnaires has been
conducted here with great adroitnesS.
They began work promptly as soon as
it became known that the Republi-
cans would control both branches of
Congress. The Republican leaders
have been in close communication
with Mr.. Huntington. There will be
no effort made to pass his bill dur
ing this session of Congress, but as an
evidence of good faith the committees
of both Houses will report favOrably
the measure that has been drafted by
Mr.. HuntingtOn's lobbyists.
The understanding then is that at
the short session of Congress, after
the presidential election, the bills
will be forced through both Houses.
1t is whispered here that in cOnsid-
Grafton OF this service from the Re
publican party, Mr.. Huntington is to
invest the enormOussum of $1,000 900
in the Republican presidential cam
paign. One would think that with
the manufacturers to draw on and the
trusts and the corporate wealth Of the
country generally, the Republican
party would not find it necessary to
mortgage itself to c. P. Huntington.
time. He has felt the pulse Of the Re-
publican party and has dealt directly
with the leaders. The Democrats
have not been taken into cOnsidera-
tion. Perhaps a few of them in the
Senate-Mr. Brice. for instance-have
been consulted and can be relied upon
to help the scheme along. 1t is be-
iieved that in a general way the new
funding scheme will involve extension
of the debt for 100 years at II per cent.
This is Huntington's own offer and
unless all the signs are awry the Re-
publicans of Congress will obey the
magnate's bidding.

"ReafRrming our faith in the People party
and its principles, we invite the alliance aud
cooperation OF all reform elements Of the
state and nation, 10 the end that a union of
all voters may be formed to oppose the gold
standard and the European level of prices; we
call the attention Of the American people to
the fact, proved by many trials, that changes
from one party to the other have brought no
relief from the burdens under which the
people are struggling, but thato on the contrary
conditions have constantly grown worse; aud
we'ask all lovers Of their country to unite
with US in an honest and earnest effort for

Third-We demand strict and effective con-

Fourth-we demand that the president and
the secretary Of the treasury be deprived Of
the power to issue or sell bonds without the
authority of congress being first given for

Fifth-We believe that ALI the money ofthe

Sixth-We demand the free and unlimited

United states is capable Of maintaining such
financial system as will promote the pros
perity Of its own people, without asking the
consent Of any utner government
Seventh-We demand that the constitutional

Editor Recorder: The development
of the financial and industrial legiS-
latiOn of this country has been under
the control of the Republican party
since the war. For more than twenty
years The conditions of the masses
have grown from bad to worse.
Every bond that has been issued by
Cleveland's administration was under
Republican laws, while his power to
do which would have been taken from
him by law but for Republican votes.
Every trust and combine having for
its object the forcing up of prices and
the forcing down of labor has been
done under Republican laws. Every
railway that has been taken from
Americans and turned over to English
holders, and every raise in freight and
reduction of wages of labor has been
done under Republican law.
Every labOrer that has been confined
in Jail without trial under the
order of an irresponsible United States
