From away off in Cincinnati, George
Hubbell, secretary of the Mill Creek Dis
tilling company, has written letter to
the Columbia State in which he makes
grave charges against Liquor Commits
sioner Nixon. According to Hubbell,
when Nixon took charge of the dispen-
sary, he employed private agent and
asked the distilling company to sell this
agent liquors with commission Of 81, ~
and SO barrel for 1,2 and x liquors
respectively. The company, so Hubbell
claims, refused to do anything of the
kind. 1t told Nixon that it had advan-
ced $4,000 worth of liquors on credit to
make the dispensary a success, and the
dispensary therefore owed it more than
it owed the dispensary. 1t was entitled
to business without being required to
"put up for it." We do not know exact
ly what to make of the story. It is easily
possible that there has been some ques-
tionable dealings in the dispensary busi-
ness but under the circumstances we are
inclined to conclude that the burden OF
presumption is against MI. Hubbell.
Mr.. Nixon made the first charge against
the Mill Creek company. Ifthe compa-
ny had been in possession of knowledge
of crook kedness that it could use against
him, it is not likely that he would have
begun the war. On the other hand, since
the Mill Creek company has been charg-
ed with questionable transaction, it is
not surprising that its management
should try to besmear Mr.. Nixon in re-
turn

While the wives and daughters were

brothers were out extending invitations
to the feast. If there was anybody on the

After dinner, DIR. Strait and Messrs

They were followed by such of the other
county candidates as cared to have any
thing to say, and it was not until late
hour in the afternoon that the meeting
finally broke up.
But this was not all. There was sig
nificant feature of the day that even the
unobservant could not fail to notice,
About in the great crowd, while the speak
ing was going on, during the dinner hour
and afternoon, were to be seen dozens Of
the most prominent politicians of the
county. Most of them were at work.
The reporter has never seen them more
earnest or apparently more concerned.
In fact they looked almost desperate-not
at all satisfied, and they log-rolled and
log rolled. What they did in the way OF
practical results, the reporter made no
effort to discover; but most thinking peo-
pie will agree fully with sentiment that
he has since heard expressed. 1t was
this:
"Is not this a shame? Here it is the
end of the campaign. The people all over
the county have seen and heard the can
didates and made up their minds pretty
we'll as to how they will vote. 1t Is still
five days before the election. During that
time there will he sent all over the county
letters and messengers bearing all manner
of messages that are ostensensibly urgent
and important; but really campaign
lodges that are calculated to change hon.
est voters. Why, there are some people
who think that an election is the expires.
sion of the choice Of the people. True
this is what it ought to be; but in three
cases out of four 1t is merely the triumph
of the schemes of half dozen or more
shrewd politicians, who, by hook OF
crook, manage to manipulate the whole
people,"
And politics, really, is strange game

HON. w. n. ELDER.
