piration Of his term of Office, that
the cash books Of the Office were
his private property, and he pro-
posed to keep them. If his state
ment before the board is true, he
was derelict in his duties as
public officer. Common business
methods demanded that he keep
an accurate account Of every dollar
that passed through his hands.
This, according to his own state
ment, he did not do. Abstracts
were sent out of his Office for years,
yet not scratch of pen was left
on record by which the number he
made, or the fees he received for
making them, could be ascer-
tanned. This is also true of ac-
acknowledgements and certified copies
of instruments other than court
records.
The SILVER BLADE has no fight
to make on Mr. Bragaw person
ally, but it cannot too strongly
condemn his business methods, to-
gether with those who were aware
of his shady transactions, and had
not the moral courage to make
them public.

From Our Special Correspondent.
Dean Weimer had a. very painful
accident few days ago. He was out
peeling poles and his axe slipped and
gashed into his leg. 1t is not serious,
however, and it is expected he will
be around again in few weeks.
Mrs. Lyman Markham has gone to
Illinois, where she was called to the
deathbed of her sister.
Mr.. John Crabseeker, who recently
married, was serenaded by the young
people of the vicinity.
Ellie Gordon has returned from

SALARIES OF COUNTY OFFICERS.

AS will be seen by the commits
sioNer's proceedings, the salaries
of the various county officers for
the ensuing two years were fixed
at yesterdays meeting of the
board. The only departure made
from the salaries paid the present
officials are the amounts allowed
the assessor, probate judge and
coroner. The assessor was cut
$500 per year; the probate judge,
5000, and the coroner 500, total
of 5000. The salaries of county
commissioners we're not fixed and
will remain at the old rate, So per
day, and necessary expenses.
There is difference of opinion
concerning the decision of the SUI
preme court in the salary case.
The general understanding is that
the inhibition mentioned in the SUI
preme court decision extends only
to the present board in fixing their
salaries for the terms they are now
filling, but by advise Of County
Attorney Goode, they refrained
from taking any action in the mat
ter. The commissioner of Ada,
Bannock and several other coun-
ties of the state, have proceeded
on the same lines. The salary OF
the county attorney will be fixed
at the July meeting of the board.

THE members OF the democratic
county central committee, the
members of the silver republican
county committee and the populist
executive committee are called to
meet here on May 1st. The OBJ
ject of these meetings is to ar
ranhe time and place for holding
county conventions to nominate
candidates for the various county
offices. This is the initial step in
again uniting the three silver par
the union of which won such a
signal victory two years ago.

that the convention should be held /,
The democrats of Henry county
base their action of yesterday on the
charge of unfairness on the part of
the democrats of Rock Island county
toward them, pointing in support of
their claim to the practice respected
for some time of alternating the nom
ination for minority representative in
the two counties. There has been
such custom, and happy one it
has proven to be. and many members
of the party in Rock Island county
would have preferred to see it contin-
ued. But the Henry county demo-
Gratis seem to have lost sight of the
fact the opportunities they have en-
joyed from such an arrangement were
not their right by law, but came to
them as part of a purpose on the part
of Rock Island county democrats to
deal Justly with them. And if,
since the Rock Island county conven-
ton. Henry county has had any SYM
pathizers here on the representative
question, yesterdays performance
changed their feelings. Justice de-
mands consideration for the minority,
but the majority, if It'll disposed, can,
where law and order are respected,
dominate.
Two kinds of fairness enter into
human trans actions. One springs
from generous heart and just i'm
pulse. The other the law prescribes.
The former is bestowed according to
spirit and inclination. The other the
law demands. 1t was the last kind OF
fairness that applied to yesterday
legislative convention
The majority must rule.

Boru. Charge Revived.

The campaign bugaboo, the abso-
lutte falsity AID absurdity of which
was proven four years ago, that silver
mine owners had promised Mr.. Bryan
a consideration for his consistent de-
votion to the cause of silver, has again
been sprung. 1t comes little tardy.
but is perhaps justified from the repub-
lican standpoint by the desperate state
of affairs that confronts that party.
The Information that is expected to
startle the world is that one Mr.. King
man. of Delavan, tells the Peoria
Journal that he learned from young
lady who lives at Jacksonville, whom
he met on train; that she (the young
LADY, is friend of Bryan's sister,
with whom she exchanges visits; that
she (the young. lady from Jackson
ville) was visitor in the Bryan home
last summer, and that she left there
the morning of the day that the demo-
cratic national convention met at
Kansas City. and went from Lincoln
to the great lakes, and that later she
returned to her Jacksonville home.
and while on the way home she met
the aforesaid Mr.. Kingman on the
train; that while in Bryan's home as
the the guest of his sister. who rs also
one of Bryan's private secretaries, she
learned that a committee of Colorado
mine owners had called and offered
Bryan $3.50, 900 if he would decline to
accept the nomination on any other but
a silver platform. And the next day.
which was the morning of the day
that the Kansas City convention met,
the young lady, who lives at Jackson
vile, and who met Mr.. Kingman on
the train on her way home to Jackson
vile, left Lincoln for the great lakes.
This is the train of startling corrobora-
tive evidence with which the Chicago
Times-Herald backs double column
display headed article in border on it's
front page this morning, relying for
its information on 8 dispatch from
Peoria that tells what the Journal of
that city says that Mr.. Kingman says
about his interview with the young
lady on the train on her way to Jack
sonville from the great lakes, where
she had gone the day the Kan
sas City convention met, after she
had visited Bryan's sister at Bryan's
home, where she had learned of the
offer that had been made by the mine
owners to Bryan to stand by silver.
Think of it all and weep, 1t is in
deed sufficient to warrant another
alarm circular from the republican
national headquarters.

arsa. Ovation Awaits Bryan In New Yor


William E. Curtis, in the Chicago
Record today, compares the welcome
that awaits Bryan in the Empire state
in this campaign with the reception
received there four years ago. In the
campaign of 1896 his reception there
was chilly. The Records correspon-
dent states when he arose on the plat
form to reply to his formal notifica-
ton. she faced an audience of 90 900
in the largest auditorium in the world.
Before he had finished reading the
first page of his manuscript people
started to leave the hall. and a con-
slant stream from the floor and the
gallery ontinued until not more than
z. 900 or 5000 faithful hearers re-
manned about the platform when he
had finished. 1t is true that the
weather was warm the temperature
in tie hall was somewhere near 100
degrees the audience was cold
enough to freeze out any speaker.
The next day Mr.. Bryan spent in a
dencs of Banker St. John, where he
received comparatively little atten-
ton. and a few days later John Bris-
ben Walker took him into the>country
to recuperate.
Now says the same source of infor-
nation: when Mr.. Bryan appears
at Madison Square garden this year
he will be escorted by a procession of
100. 600 men under the personal direc-
tion of the democratic boss who went
to Europe in 1896 to avoid meeting
him. Democratic clubs will be
brought from all the towns and cities
within three hours ride by railroad
of New York; 1874 bands have already
been engaged to furnish music, and,
according to the stories they tell at
the democratic headquarters, con-
tracts have been entered into for
$4,000 worth of fireworks, and
searchlights will be placed at inter-
walls along Fourth avenue and Fifth
avenue so that the night will be
turned into day. No committee dare
propose a revision of his speech this
year; he will not be compelled to seek
the shelter of the house of friend,
and a thousand eager men will be
waiting upon him for every one that
sought his presence in 1896"

The Majority Mus. Rule.

1t is indeed to be deprecated that
personal am bition or local zeal should
have been carried to the point that
Iprecipitated the unfortunate state OF
affairs developed at Cam bridge yester-
day. Persons, factions or parties
may feel aggrieyed by the force of cir
cumstances and may seek redress.
People may be stung to bitterness by
what seems to them an ungenerous
act, but wrongs, whether actual or
Imaginary. cannot be rectiied by 60
ing outside the prescribed rules for
the government of society. There
has been nothing in past circum-
stances or recent developments in the
relations of the democrats of Rock ISL
and and Henry counties to justify the
course pursued by the minority fac
ton in yesterdays democratic conven-
ton of the Thirty-third senatorial dis
trict. The plain, ihdisputable law,
that the majority rule should have
prevailed. Strategy and superior
generalship sometimes enable one side
in q dispute to outwit the other, even
in the face of desperate odds. but tao
tics such as these were not employed
at Cam bridge. The plan of action
pursued by Henry county did not
even rise to the dignity of a.
successful; bluff. 1t was simply case
of bulldozing. needless of right or
wrong. A faction OF the convention,
the minority faction at that, seized
control and defied the legally consti-
tuted expression of the convention.
The convention was in fact without
organization because no organization
was legally projected by the minority.
The self assumed chairman not only
took upon himself arrogant powers.
but usurPed the prerogatives that be-
longed to the floor of the convention
until the majority succeeded in chang
ing the place Of meeting. Under such
circumstances little was the wonder
that disorder eusued and serious dis
turbances were threatened.
From the start of the late contro-
versy between the Rock island and |
Henry county wings of the party in |
the Thirty-third district, Rock Island |
county has exhibited no purpose to |
insist upon rights ether than those |
that belong to the majority. What |
the majority may do for the minority
is one thing, what il should do il an
other. The minority may have q right
to expect and express itself on the
first proposition. but it has no right
TO determine the second. Had the
friends of Mr.. McEniry's candidacy
been disposed to exercise the
they had after the
Rock Island county democratic con-
rention, and have called the senator

could have had Il held in this county.
