Atkeson devoted about all the
editorial page of his last Free Press
in fulsome fa:tary OF G. A. Denton
and j. F. Chambers, republican can
didates. He gives no reason why
poPulists should bolt the instruo
tions of their county convention,
and disregard every call to party
principle and honor by going over
to the republican party, with which
they are not in sympathy on any
question. He appeals to their baser
passions and tries to stir up feeling
against democrats, their natural
allies. 1t is no surprise that Atkeson
wants to return to the party of his
first love, he has abundant reasons,
chiefly among which is Hanna's
barrel But will self respecting
populists be carried into the repub
lican camp in order to help Atkeson
further his ends and line bis pockets
We hardly think.

SAVE THE PRESIDING JUDGE,

The Office of presiding judge of
the county court is the most i'm
portant IN The gift Of the people
He practically has control CT the
county finances and eupervises the
work OF the other county officers. He
should be broad minded man with
business ability and integrity Such
man is Samuel West, whose name
is on the democratic ticket. His
opponent, James Drysdale, who has
succeeded in getting his name on
both the republican and populist
tickets, is a narrow minded bieot, a
fanatical partisan who can see no
good in any other party or man
whose views do not coincide with
his own narrow vision. He is q
populist for the revenue alone and
when that is taken away he is q
republican. He was elected county
clerk by the grace OF fusion in
1890 and his deputy had to conduct
the business of the Office. He was
no sooner out as county clerk than
his nose for Office led him to petition
a pspulist city board for city clerk.
Therein he showed his complste in.
competency. He mixed the city's
books up in great shape and bis
successor, a democrat, had to
straightsn them out as best he could.
A democratic sheriff appointed him
On the grand jury, democratic
Judge sslectsd him as foreman, the
democrats on the jury voted for
populis. for clerk, then Drysdsle
was asked to appoint democrat IS
door keeper and showed his narrow
partisan spiri. by appointing a pop
ulist
This shows him too narrow for
this important Office Like Atkeson
hs always gets his own name on the
ticket, and the other fellows can do
the voting Vote for Samuel West
sud scratch Drysdale.

Denton, Gench, Chambers and

STANDS ON HIS RIGHTS.

On Tuesday J Frank Chambers,
the republican nominee for circuit
clerk, went to the home of John III
Coleman, one of the associate judges
of the county court, and brought
/ Judge Coleman 10 Butler, and an
affidavit was fled before him asking
him to compel county clerk Craw-
ford to correct the ballot by placing
Chambers name on the middle Of
the road ticket, instead Of on The
fusion ticket where he was properly
placed By the county clerk.
Judge Coleman was asked by the
democrats, in view of the fact that
he was not a lawyer, to submit the
matter to the Attorney General OF
the state, who is his legal adviser,
or to any two reputable, disinter-
ested lawyers of different parties
anywhere in the state outside the
county, or to any member OF the
supreme court, or to call In the other
two members of the county court in
an advisory way, but he steadfastly
refused any of these suggestions
and, acting under the advice Of Mr.
Chambers lawyer, cited county
clerk Crawford to appear before him
on Wednesday at o'clock to show |
cause why he should not correct |
the ballot as asked for. This alter
native writ was put in the sheriff's
hands at five minutes to one on that
day and was served on Mr.. Crawford
Just four minutes to the time he was
expected to appear and make his
answer by the sheriff's watch By
the clerks time and by that of sew
sral gentlemen present it was then
0ne minute after one. It was of
course impossible for Mr. Crawford
TO prepare hisa nswer in that time.
Judge Coleman then proceeded to
ssue peremptory writ command
ng the county clerk to place the
names OF the three republican candi-
1ates, Chambers, ley and Gench on
;he middle-of-the road ticket, instead
