A Dead Lock
Was the Board Of Election in Their
Attempt to Choose a Secretary.

| On Saturday last the Hooking
County Board Of Election met at the
Court House in Logan for the pur-
pose, among other business, to select
a clerk for their board to fill the
vacancy caused by the death OF
Clerk Ed. l.. Davenport. AS the
deceased clerk was a republican it
was ruled by the Secretary Of state
that his unexpired term should be
filled by person Of the same party.
In lieu of this the Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee met u few weeks
ago, as is the instructions of law,
and unanimously chose Mr.. Charles
James as their recommendation to
the board for clerk. Their choice
was officially certified into the
board of election.
This all sounds very nice and
smoothe, but there is nub to it.
Prior to the meeting of the Republic
can Executive Committee, Mr.. A. f.
Huls, of the Journal Gazette had
secured the names Of five of the
members of said committee out of
nine on a petition, favoring his ap-
pointment to the position. This
recommendation had been presented
to Brashears and Evans, republican
members of the Election Board, and
they met Saturday and revised
petition was presented to them from
the Executive Committee unani-
mously recommending Mr.. James to
the clerkship. They were stumped.
1t was evident that some body had
| played sheenanigan, and they con-
suited and agreed to stick fIrst, last
and all the time to the candidacy of
Mr.. Huls who was recommended by
the signatures Of a majority of the
Executive Committee. The demo-
cratic members of the board had no
communication or recommendation
to go by, except the official paper
signed by the chairman and secre-
tary of the Republican Executive
Committee unanimously recon-
mending Mr.. James to the appoint
ment, ard they could do none other.
under the time honored ruling, but
to vote for Mr.. James. Thus 1t was
that the board locked and could not
choose a clerk.
| The sequel to the whole business is
that the bosses are after the Journal
Gazette, and every time any of their
force bobs up his head for anything,
and the bosses find it out in time,
they will beat him out of it if it ruins
the party. They propose to run the
thing while they are at it, and when
they go down it will be all in a
mighty heap. Mr.. Huls' friends are
charging fraud in the matter of the
Committee clerkship deal, and we'll
they might. That Hanna gang will
do any thing to accomplish their
purpose. They will rule or ruin like
the boss. boodler, briber whom they
worship has taught them to do, and
the sooner the rank and file of the
republican party in Hooking find /,
out and rise up in thier might and
stamp the lining out of them the
better they will be off. A body never
will thrive with carbuncle fester-
ing on 1t.

Work goes on daily at the Cotton Mill, and
