John W Foster, POSTMASTER. after the
guests had entered the banquet hall and had
taken their positions at their chairs, an
nounced the reason for the ceremony and
called upon the Rev Dr. Wilson for prayer.
The dinner followed, and when the last
of the courses had been discussed, Mr..
Foster introduced as the first speaker Sen
ator William P. Frye OF Maine.
He said that it was seldom that due
honor is paid to living men. It was an old
saying Speak naughJ but good OF the
dead" IN euIogies on dead members OF the
Senate he had heard their virtues dwelt
upon sometimes with such exaggeration
that even their best friends could not have
recognized them. Don't you think it
would be better" said the Senator. TO
give Just tribute to the living and not
wait for men 10 die before we sing their
praises? The dead are deaf TO applause.
We scatter flowers on their graves, but the
silent slsepers see not their beauty. Would
il not be better to scatter a few flowers
along the thorny pathways Of living men ?
The most magnificent epitaph that ! recall
is that chiseled on the tomb of the English
General Gordon: His strength he gave to
the weak his sympathy he gave TO the suf-
fering; his life he gave 10 his country; his
heart he gave to Cod
Senator Frye said it would have set a
better example to the world had the Eng
lish put those sentiments into execution
while General Gordon lived. These things
led him 10 think how appropriate it was
! that so many men prominent in so many
! walks OF life should meet TO 90 honor 10
/ a living man. He congratulated DR.. Butler
/ on his long and useful career. In closing
/ he offered this toast His strength he
| gave to the weak. his sympathy to the suf-
/ fering and his heart to God

1t IS needless for us TO give any ex-
tended wiite-up of w. N. Jackson, the
fusion candidate for register of deeds.
He is we'll known and liked by all who
have had any business transactions with
him. He ha: attended to the duties Of
the register of deeds in a faithful and
painstaking manner and has given ell
tire satisfaction. The Republicans have
continually during the campaign made
the statement that Jackson was well
fixed financially, and did not need the
office. They have made the statement
that he owred three farms and much
other property. To make such state
ments about an able bodied man, know
ing them to be false is inexcusable, but
it is much worse to make them to inlure
a cripple in Jackson's condition Jack
son has not walked a step for years.
He wheels himself in a chair as shown in

has succeeded in supporting. Before he
was elected he had a store in Milan, and
about a year before before being elected
the store and its contents was burned.

The Republican management is scared.
The feeling among the Republicans to
vote for the best men for the Office has
frightened the management and some
thing had to be done to line their voters
up. The candidates have been over the
county and know how the people feel.
After Sam Cobean had been on one of
his long drives in the country he made
the statement that IF he were in Dan
Holidays place he would 20 home, as
he had not found more than half-dozen
who were not going to vote for Charlie
Shawver," and Cobean was right.
Nearly everybody is going to vote for
Shaver. We have no doubt but that
Holiday has felt the same way about
Cobean, but Of course Dan is too smooth
q politician to speak out in meeting.
Such has been the experience of the
candidate and something had to be done.
This election is purelya local affair, the
selection Of some county officers. The
candidates of all parties are well known.
The fitness and qualification of the
various candidates is we'll known by the
voters. But the Republican manage
ment got scared, and Just on the eve of
the election speaker must be imported
to tell their voters how to vote. For the
first time in the history of the county
has it been found necessary to import
foreigner, federal Office holder to tell
the intelligent voters of Sumner county
how to vote for county officers. W. NJ.
Wallace, deputy revenue collector from
the sand hills in Kingman county, in his
wise and mysterious way is instruc;ing
Sumner county voters how to vote.
Such conduct on the part of the COM
mittee and Mr.. Wallace is an insult TO
intelligent voters of Sumner county.
The Republican management heaps this
insult upon the country precincts. The
voters in Wellington do not need in
structions like you ignorant country
voters. No speeches are to be made in
