The BLOW That Killed.

IL VIII be remembered That there |
was quite contest in Hooking |
county this spring for committee
men In the Republican party, be.
tween the White factions and the
Keynes crowd, resulting in the
Whites capturing everything in
sight and organizing both COM
mittees. The powers of persuasion
on both sides was which could
promise the census enumerator-
ship the strongest to the rural COM
mitteemen. Both sides claimed
the power to dictate these ap
pointments, and the rural fello VS.
seemed to believe the White argu-
ment against that of the Keynes,
for they all fell in line for White.
Keynes lost the committee, but in
the meantime he had up his sleeve
the real power to appoint the
enumerators of this county. He
had received this valuable power
from District Enumerator Vollen.
weider and Grosvenor, at Athens,
once upon time when they need
ed Keynes very badly in their busi-
ness. The committees met and re.
CONNIE nded list of Hooking
enumerators and everything was
lovely, and Grosvenor had promis-
ed If they would stay with him in
his convention he would see that
all their recommendations were
appointed. They stayed with him
in his convention and made ii
possible for him to return to con-
gress, but the convention is over
and the old liar turned down the
whole shooting match.
Will Keynes, true to his promise,
appointed II out of the IA enumer-
ators in Hooking, and Grosvenor,
false to his promise, left his "trust-
ed lieutenapts" to hold the sack.
Now, all that we can say at this
time is like the old lady, "We told
you So" We have been telling the
people of Hooking county for II
years through the columns of this
paper that Charley Grosvenor is a
liar,scoundrel and political octopus.
Quite number have believed us
all along, now everybody in the
county believes it. Most thinking
men have long since dropped him
as stercoraceous disgrace to this
community and the nation, and
now it has come to pass that every
body has been fGored b. his de-
ception and infamy, and have
shook him cold. He has made
beautiful jack-ass of himself in this
county, and has both republican
factions and the Republican COM
mittees openly declaring them
selves against him.
In Benton TIP. the committee re-
commended M. D. Hill for enum-
orator and Dan'l. Engle got the ap.
pointment. In Falls TIP. all agree
on Bob Tucker and he got it with
out opposition. In Logan First.
Fourth Ward District Pearl Barns
was recommended, but Grosvenor
goes down into the Second Ward
and appoints Miss Grace Green
democratic girl, daughter of Lewis
Green, Editor of the Sentinel, to
take the census of the First Fourth
district. When the committee
made personal kick on this queer
action, Grosvenor persisted, and
said that he was under obliga tions
to Mr.. Green for favors and the ap-
pOintment of Miss Grace would
stand. This was direct slap at
Cap Ryan and Willis Mcdonald re-
publican committeeman of the
First and Fourth Wards. It is
plainly saying that he does not
care for the support Of any repub-
licans in these wards, and that he
does not recognize any of them as
being good republicans, hence his
going into another ward, out of the
district, and appointing a Demo-
cratic girl in preference.
In the Second-Third Wards dis
trict, Logan, Hayes Finney was ap-
pointed, as against the committees
recommending Tom Collins. This
was hot slap at John White, COM
mitteeman of the Second Ward,
for he and his friends in the spring
election turned Finney down for a
second nomination for assessor, be-
cause the said Finney was alledged
to have talked too much against
White. Keynes had Finney ap-
pointed, to show White few lines
