and shameful order OF things that
makes the politics Of New York City
a stencil and disgrace!
Richard Croker, the king OF the
army OF saloon keepers, dive keepers
and gambling house keepers who can
have protection in New York City by
paying Tammanv for it, is the most
despised politician in America. He
is political leper. We doubt il a
man, Republican, Democrat or Popu.
list, in Abilene or in Dickinson coun.
ty will stand up in public and
cay that he commends and endorses
Mr.. Croker and his methods. He
stands for all that is bad in politics
and is opposed to all that the west
with its pure air and self'reliant peo-
pie stands for. Democrats and Popu.
lists alike condemn him. In Kansas
he would be buried so deep at the
first election that Gabriel couldn't
find him. Kansas simply would not
tolerate him or his methods-not for
a minute.
Mayor Van.Wyck is Croker's SER
want and both are ice trust magnates.
Ex.Gov. Stone Of Missouri is his right
hand man.
When Mr.. Bryan went to New York
City he was greeted by Croker; on
Cookers arm he entered gorgeous
banquet room where costly viands
aud wines were spread in profusion.
He was seated between Croker and
Van Wyck. Over across the table
was Adlai Stevenson-poor old man,
he fell asleep before long and did not
see it all.
Stone was at Bryans side. The
New York papers say he called for
whisky.
There is none on the menu, sir"
said the waiter.
IL don't care a -. want

voice.
He got it.

met; Van Wyck expects a place on
the supreme bench. The worst ele-
ment in American politics expects to
rule the nation for its own loot and
gain as it now rules New York City.
This is the shame Of Organism.
Free silver might be corrected; the
flag taken down in the Philippines
might be restored-but the methods
OF Tammany Hall introduced into
national affairs, and Croker and his
allies put in the cabinet would mean
q stain on America that this and the
next generation could not wine mt

Aattsson's Anonymous Circular.

The voters Of Dickinson county
have had this week an example OF the
kind OF politics in which David Mat.
teson believes and practices-the
anonymous circular.
David Matteson went to the News
office and dictated the circular, be
secured the same and he went out on
the street with these dodgers and
gave them to voters and put them up
on posts. This was the circular:
GROSSER FOR BURTON. Il
A vote for Emil Grosser is a vote
for Burton.
"Grosser will vote for Burton, that
is what he is instructed by his party
to DO, and what bis personal choice is
in the matter. "-REFLECToR.
Cyrus Leland, a noted Republican
politician, says: when Burton was
in the legislature it was public his
tory that he was an immoral man and
an unblushing tol.taker, etc."
Burton is such dead beat that he
will not even pay his personal taxes.
Sheriff j. W. Baker now has 10 bis
possession tax warrant for bis per.
sonal taxes but no property can be
found to levy on. Do you want
tax jumper to represent you in con-
gressP
Yet Emil Grosser, Republican can
didate for the legislature, is pledged
to vote for this toll.taker and tax.
jumper.
Sit down on such man by voting
for David Matteson, a true and faith.
full friend Of the people.
Now for the facts:
In August last, Mr.. Burton wrote
to G. T. Estes Of this city: go and
pay my taxes, let me know the
amount and | will send you draft. )"
On August 81, Mr.. Estes went to
the county treasurer's office, asked the
amount Of Mr.. Burton's taxes and on
being told the same, $1S4.17, by
Deputy Treasurer F. A. Wilcox, paid
them with his personal check dated
August Slst and made payable to
VIM. Matteson, treasurer.
The following day, Sept. /, he re-
ceived from Mr.. Burton who had not
yet received Mr.. Estes letter OF mott.
fication, the following telegram:
TOPEKA, Sept. Ibid you fix my
tax matter. Please answer.
-. R. BURTON.
When Mr.. Burton had been in.
formed Of the amount he forwarded a
draft for $lS4.l7 to Mr.. Estes and it
was cashed at the Abilene State bank.
Both Mr.. Estes and Mr.. Burton
supposed and intended that the
amount covered all taxes due but it
.transpires that through misunder.
standing or error only the amount Of
his real estate taxes was named, hence
the personal tax OF $3.50 remained
unpaid.
Mr.. Estes in order to correct his
own mistake today, Oct. 25, paid the
personal tax and notified Mr.. Burton
Of the additional amount.
Inc original documents In the mat
ter are on file in Mr.. Estes office and
may be seen by anyone at any time.
Voters Of Dickinson county, we ap-
peal to your good sense and judg.
ment In this matter.
The facts are given in full above
and you may draw your own conclu.
sions as to the weight which Mr..
Matteson's anonymous circular should

commander. whose recent successes have
revived hopes among the friends of the
Boers:-"De Vets a dandy. He is a
little man with clear, fierce eye and a
stern visage, and wears a small black
hat. Que would not pick him out in a
company of men as a warrior; and he's
a butcher, or his brother was, but he
knows how to fight" Capt Reichmann
says that although the Beers are fine
hunters and good marksnen. they are
not good soldiers, because they are not
susceptible to discipline"

serted around Washington, although

that the President has promised to set
