the Graphic.

Geo. Watson cannot expect "a
good word from us in this campaign,
for in the distribution of dinner tick
cts we were left out in the cold.
~
Judge Grinstead made a good i'm
preston on us,-he subscribed for the
Graphic, while he passed the Mdrcury
coldly by! This paper will not sup
port him, however, for we are not to
be bought for 25 cents.
~
Griustead told the convention that
he was not politician, and then pro-
ceed 10 prove it by saying that he was
hunting for votes with non-partizan
ammunition. He evidently realizes that
to be elected he has to get populist
votes, and thinks that they can be
caught with that kind of bait. Thanks
Judge, but we have had seven years
| of experience with a non-partizan
Judge, and have concluded that "a pop
Judge is good enough for US. The
| Judges talk did not hurt the pops,
and for that reason did not please the
republicans.

Thorne would have been nominated
if all those in the convention who
had asked him to be a candidate had
voted for him, but they didn't, and
now John wants to know why they
asked him to run.
Nv
"Mandamus'' Aderhold was nomi-
mated without opposition. He is
good fellow and pretty smooth, but he
will be kept busy this fall, explaining
why he is called ''mandamus''-and
we don't mind helping him a little.
We miss our guess if the voters of
this county will elect Aderhold. and
so say by their votes that they approve
and cOuntenance the high-handed out
rage perpetrated by Vandivert two
yers ago.

Fred Avery had tight race, and
had Jackson cast their full vote
instead of only two on the first formal
ballot, Thorne would have been nomi-
natrd. There was also one of the del
egates who could not attend, but he
saw his alternate who faithfully prom
ised to vote for Thorne, and then voted
for Avery every time.
~
Bob McCanse re-appeared in the
political arena and, as usual, knock
ed the rim Off of the slate. Bob is
smooth. He made the motion for a
committee or procedure. so as to be
named chairman of it. That gave him
a chance to get the voting done in the
ways of old leach delegate announc-
ing his choice J, and that where he got
in his fine work and secured the nomi-
nation of his candidate for sheriff,
Fred Avery. Thorne was on the slate
but Bobs eloquence and the fact of
their promises to Avery secured tho
necessary number of votes. The only
mistake made by Bob. was in holding
an old soldier up to ridicule in
order to tell good story. But that
did not loose his candidate any votes
in the convention.
~
Tom Huffman is a good fellow, but
II
too. When he ran two years ago, the
fellows out in Wayne didn't suppose
he had a ghost of a show, but he was
a good fellow and a home man and
the boys thought they would let him
down easy and remove the sting of de-
feat by giving him good vote at
home. They overdid it, and as re-
suit Tom gets a two years salary,
But the boys have seen the error of
| their ways and won't do it again.

1t was rather shabby of the Kinsley
crowd to choke off Ed Browns nomi-
nation for coroner. He might have
been nominated and he might have
been elected, for Alec said he had
always been wanting an office.
| ~
Jim McCarty looked after his nomi-
nation by bringing in a few of the
family as delegates. Let's see. How
many times has Jim been a candidate
anyhow?
McCarty and Manuel. Boys it's a
shame. These men are good fellows
and to put them on the ticket inst to
trade on, We repeat, is shame. You
don't believe they will trade 'em OFF I?
Well, just wait until the votes are
counted.
Rufus Buchanan was turned down
with dull thud.'' The trouble with
Rufus was that he believed the gang
when they told him that they were GO
ing to nominate him. This makes
twice-about once more will fix him.
Sam Manuel was nominated just to
fill up the ticket. If he is elected he
will Immediately procede to qvalify
hinls elf for the duties of the office.
