The VOICE took the trouble Monday
to present his Liarship, Andynias
Richards OF the Mail and Star, with a
copy OF the VOICE Of Aug. 26, contain.
Ing the resolutions passed by the Pop
ulist county convention, it appearing
that he was very much troubled be-
cause as he thought they had not been
published. He was informed that no
retractiUn was necessary and that he
should not be sued for libel, but that
we desired him to accept the paper
with our compliments. He now
grumblps because the VOICE does not
publish these resolutions every week,
which his Liarship says has been the
custom, and which his Liarship knows
is false. Come TO think of il, wonder
why the Mail and Star is not running
that little Insignificant platform
passed by the Republican convention.
1t was an endorsement Of tue Dingley
bill-nOthing more-but we cannot re-
call that the Mail ever laid it before
its readers at all.

W. H. Maddy, who is a candidate
for reelection on the Republican
ticket, has already had nearly twelve
years service at the pie counter of
Sumner county. He was appointed
deputy county clerk under VIM. H.
Berry some time during January, 1888:
served six years under Berry; was re-
appointed and served four years under
Carnes, making a service of ten years
as deputy county clerk. Then during
Sadler's first term Mr.. Maddy was en-
ployed by the county commissioners TO
do special work for the county large
portion Of the time. For the past year
Mr.. Maddy has been filling the office
OF county treasurer and is now can.
didate for re election. In view of these
facts, which are within the knowledge
Of everybody, it does seem that Mr..
Maddy has served his country long
enough. Yet when we see tina: Mr..
Maddy has erected a fine residence
across the street from and almost
within the shadow Of the cOurt-hCuSe
We conclude that he will continue To
ask for office during the remainder of
his generation.

f. B. CreekmOre, late of Osborne
township, has some pointed remarks
to make about W. S. Nelson, the Re-
publican candidate for county clerk.
As the VOICE stated last week the
time is too short to develop all of Nell
sons deals. There are several town
ships in Sumner county and forty-two
states OF the Union yet to hear from,
but enough has already come to light
to convince the people of Sumner
county that he is not the kind of a man
they want to put 10 charge OF their of.
fetal election returns and other
county business.

Why the Fight on County Clerk.

Considerable comment has been ID
dulged in during the past few weeks
at the instigatiOn Of the Republican
machine, concerning the fear that
Wilford E Wood, il elected county
clerk, would select as his assistant,
Capt. F. H. Gilmore. Feeling that
the inspiration for this selection Of
his assistant emanated from the brain
of the "Republican cadaver" who runs
the pig alley sheet, Mr.. Wood, with
due respect for the law and the dignity
due his official candidacy, paid no
attention to this report, further than
to say that until he was authorized
by the voters of the county he would
make no selection Of deputy from
the many good men available, and
further that if elected he thought he
would have no trouble in making
selection alike satisfactory to himself
and to those who might favor him
with their votes.
Under ordinary circumstances this
assurance of Mr.. Wood that he would
in the event of his election accord to
his constituents fair, impartial and
courteous consideration in the seleC.
ton of the party to assist him in the
Office would have been sufficient to
aIlay the fears and feelings Of every
one.
In Justice to Mr.. Wood the VOICE
through its columns, duly authorized,
has several times asserted, and now
again repeats, that no man need heSi-
tate to vote for Mr.. Wood from the
fear that Capt. Gilmore will receive
partial hOnOrs from his election, We
do not desire by this announcement
to in any way reflect upon the honor
or standing of Capt. Gilmore, and
would remind him and his friends
that it was the Republicans who iu-
jeCted his personality into this fight.
and who have been and are still
harrassing his feelings by insisting in
season and out Of season that Capt.
