Pierce followed his lead, simply stat
ing that he would follow Mr.. Brady.
This loss seemed to be relief to the
remaining portion of the convention
and most everybody who witnessed the
act was thoroughly convinced that the
democrats gained by the loss (?) they
had sustained.
The convention then proceeded to
business and it only required a few
minutes to grind out list of candi-
dates. The only man who declined to
accept a proffered honor was j. G..
Clayton. who was first placed in NOM
ination for clerk.
The ticket contains some good
men, but it is conceded that
they will receive very few votes. Dem
ocrats in Barber county are not num-
erous, but we hope that they will stand
by their candidates in preference to
voting the republican ticket. One
thing we can say in favor of our demo-
cratic friends is that they partially
supplied by resolutions what they lack
ed in numbers. Yet we fail to under
stand why they overlooked Greece,
Crete, Turkey and Klondike.

The case against j. b. Gano in the
district court of Sedgwick county was
dismissed last Thursday. 1t is thought
Jim's candidacy for sheriff had some
thing to do with the dismissal, but
whether that be true or false, we
are all glad that Mr.. Gano was relieved
from this embarrassment. 1t is conced-
ed that the prosecution had no case
and they were only making vain eff.
fort to manufacture criminal procedure
out Of civil action. The manner in
which Gano was first arrested and car.
ried off to Wichita was disgusting and
contemplate in the eyes of all who fav.
or human liberty and this action on
the part of the Sedgwick county officials
is proof within itself that they were
connivlpg with the Wichita Wholesale
Grocery house to run bluff game.
We congratulate Mr., Gano on this hap
py termination OF the whole matter.

Barber county has lost another good
citizen in the person of VIM. M. Will
son of Sharon township. Mr.. Wilson
and family departed the first of the
week for the old home at Ratcliff,
Georgia. They will stop few weeks
in Missouri to visit Mr.. WIS father
whom he MT. WILSON, has not seen for
twenty years. The INDEX sincerely
regrets Mr.. Wilson's departure. He
is man of whose citizenship any state,
county or township can be proud, and
we feel that we suffer great loss In
his leaving. But every man knows his
condition and his opportunities best
and we have nothing but the very best
wishes for him in his chosen location
Before leaving, Mr.. Wilson called and
advanced his subscription to the INDEX
year and half, to keep posted on
Barber county affairs.

The people of Medicine Lodge town
ship h.3ye three candidates to choose
from fer trustee. The Populists have
nominated !. A. Murphy; the .republi-
cans, J. u. Mccoy; the democrats, j. B.
StockstilI. We are aware of the fact
that all that is necessary for the repub.
licans to elect their man is to vote the
ticket upitedly, but we also know that
if they are looking after the best inter.
ests of the township they will vote fof
John Murphy. The township made
money by electing Sam Adams to that
Office one and two years ago. and if it is
desired that the record for economy es-
tabllshed by him be continued, the on
ly way to produce that result is to elect
John Murphy. He is both competent
and honest.

J.Z. Fleming thinks the Cresset docs
him an injustice in attaching blame to
him ON account of the fact that p. O.
Ward, insane, who was confined in the
Jail few weeks ago, had knife con-
cealed on his person, and we are inclin-
ed to think that Mr.. Fleming has a
just grievance. The fact of the matter
is that the insane man was turned oy-
er to j. L. in open court by the Hazel
ton officers, and 1t was naturally to be
expected that those who had him in
charge at the beginning of the action
would disarm him.

On Monday County Clerk Gaddie
rendered decision in the matter of ar
ranging tickets on the Australian bal
lot this fall. He gives republicans first
place, Popullsts second and democrats
third. He takes this position contrary
to the demands of the Populist candI-
dates and contrary to the instructions
of the Populist central committee.
Mr.. Gaddie says that while he is ID
doubt as to the law in the matter he
can not conscientiously give any party,
except the republican party, the benefit
of that doubt. We are very sorry that
he looks at it in this light. We believe
the Populists are entitled to first place
and we also believe that Mr. Gaddie's
arrangement of the tickets eDdangers
the success OF the Populist party this
fall. Notwithstanding the high esteem
we have always held for our county
clerk. candor compels us TO say he has
done the Populist party and Its caEdi.
dates an injustice and an injury, and ii
they suffer defeat this fall it will be
/ solely due to the fact that the Populists
have the most undesirable place on the
ballot.
