On Saturday we learned of peculiar
deal which was SAID to have been fixed
up in Lake City township on the morn
ing of the election by whichsthe demo.
Gratis were to have trustee in considera-
ton of democratic support of w. G.
Millar for representative. The deal is
said to have been made by republicans
and democrats but a few populists
seem to have been captured also. The
result was that Mlllar got large ma
jority in Lake City township and John
NJ. Doan, the Populist candidate for
trustee, was elected by only one major
ity. His opponent was Cook, whose
name did not appear on the ballot and
who was in no way responsible for the
deal. He is said to be good man and
always above political chicanery. Trad
ing in politics should be discouraged
1t is neither fair nor right. In this in
stance Messrs. Doan and Creighton,
both Populist candidates, were imposed
upon.
