There Is dlscord In the mongrel cnmn.
This time IL is over the distribution OF money
amounting to over 81 900, which was raised
by coterie OF bankers and railroad officials.
and placed in the hands OF G, NJ. Hitchcock.
for the purpose of defraying the expenses of
a campaign for the exposition bonds. Ho has
been hiring some good democrats with this
| money, and giving them the tip to put Ia
! two ticks for Hoctor and Red6eld to every
one for the bonds When populists or silver
republicans applied to him for employment
on this campaign work they have been given
the cold shoulder. and the money reserved
for those who can be depended on to do the
fine work of the mongrel program, which
consists of trading OFF three-fourths of the
ticket for the other one e-fourth. Hitchcock
still has a good part OF the pot raised by the
syndicate, which he is doubtless holding
back for use the last day or two before the
election.
The office Of register OF deeds is one of the
very important offices in the county and to
entrust 1t to incompetent hands would be
grave mistake slight error In this branch
OF the county government might cloud the

The populists and free silver republicans
are just waking up to the fact that they
have been beautifully limhammed in the
matter of the Board of Education ticket.
The sample ballots for the Board of Educa-
finn bntpu distributed ~ ~
tickets-one headed Republican" and the
other headed Democratic" 1t will be re-
membered that the fusion Board of Educa-
tion ticket was nominated in a sort of con-
solidated convention, presided over by the
notorious Dan Honin, and while the nomina
tons were apparently made by three different
parties, Honn took care to file the certificate
only in the name of the democrats, and when
the vote comes to be counted on the Board
Of Education ticket they are going to claim
that every vote cast against the republican
nominees was vote for the democratic
party.
Tom Hoctor is encOuntering the same old
trouble which always arises when candidate
promises the same job to too many people.
There are three or four active politicians in
conditional promise from Hoctor of an APP
pointment as his CHIEF deputy as soon as he
assumes the office of sheriff. In the mean
while the redoubtable Charlie Rosters is Civ
ing his cronies the tip that he has dead
cinch on the job. no matter how many other
people get promises from Hoctor.
The Western Laborer asks how the
mOngres ever managed to get man on
their ticket for cCuuty judge who never had
anything in common with any of the
mongrel elements 1t wants to know If
Candidate Anderson thinks his fellow citizens
have forgotten his services to the prohibition
Oarty when he appeared prohibition wit
ness against Governor James E. Boyd. He
is asked to explain why he appeared as a
prohibition witness against the only demo-
cratic governor the state ever had and, while
he is in the explanation business, to tell also
why he was an applicant to eX-May0rl
BrCatch for the position of city prosecutor?
Was it because he supported Brcatch in
stead of the democratic nominee. Charles II.
Brown? AS yet, however, Mr.. Anderson has
