at home. We speak Of the matter now
as purely ethical question, one which
confronts every state organization dur
ing pres dental years, If one is at
loss to understand this phase Of the
question, is it any wonder he is lost
in the intricate mazes Of artistic jug
glory, performed by the Republican
party? If Mckinley is a
SAINT, then his political off,
offspring must be sanity. II the
Barnes administration is so rotten
that the Republican party of oklaho-
ma condemns it by ignoring it why
then does not Mckinley remove Mr..
BarnesP Every charge made against
Barnes was carefully considered by
the president months ago, yet Barnes
is still governor. Is the Flynn con-
vent'on las party representation Of
Oklahoma so great that it can go be-
hind the judgment OF Mckinley and
try Barnes by the three-fold ordeal,
adjudge him unfit and refuse him Que
word of recognition in its party slo-
gan? When the Cuban postal frauds
came to light Mckinley lost no time
in removing Neeley, Thompson and
Rath bone, These three men were
powerful politicians with influential
backing, and the argument against
their removal was based on the fact
that a presidential campaign was on
and dismissal would cause detection
in the ranks. For once, be it said to
McKinley's credit, he exercised his
chocolate backbone. If Mckinley
could remove from office men of ma
tional prominence on evidence of guilt
what would hinder him from exercis-
ing like power in the case of an official
in mere territory, which has no elec
toral vote?
The LEADER is not pleading the
cause Of Barnes. He is chump for
allowing himself 10 be betrayed by
Greer, Asp, Strang and others, but il
is the inconsistency OF the Republican
party that we condemn. The admin
istration is the Repu ublican party OF
Oklahoma, whether it wields the ma
chlnery or figures in Flynn's platform
or not. 1t is a creature of McKin-
leyism, and as such will be held
accountable to the people-just as
Flynn will be held accountable Tor his
juggling with school lands and his
lobbying against the interests of the
homesteaders Of Oklahoma. The whole
Republican outfit, embracing factions,
cliques and coteries, is noisome and
foul and the reform forces of Oklaho-
ma will show up the dark, ill-smelling
smear during the campaign which
opeps today,

unfairness could conceive has been
left unsaid. Nothing which dishonor
could dictate has been left undOne.
But his opponents as usual have over
dOnethemselves. Such senscless and un
principled onslaughts against the high
character of a man like Judge Armour
soon sicken the people, and their re-
sentiment will be swift and certain.
They cannot be thus deceived, nor will
their sense of justice and decency per-
nit, with impunity, an honorable and
upright man to be thus mercilessly
maligned.
We caution the voters to beware Of
further secret and underhanded charg-
es by the opposition made too late for
reply. Only honorable men need TO
be attacked in such y manner; only
dishonorable men will so attack them.

came home Friday evening from York,
Nebraska, and the following morning
went to the Anderson HOMESTEAD where
they will remain for the present. The
reception given them Saturday night
was royal one. About thirty persons
were present and the supper of which
they partook will be long remembered
1t consisted Of turkey, chicken, roast
beef, and all the accompanying deli
cacies. The presents made to the new
ly welded couple amounted to about
fifty dollars.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs.

The Facts of The Case.

The Facts of The Case.
The fusion organs of the district
have boasted so loud and long of the
ability and economy of District Attor-
ney Hays, and with such utter disre-
gard for the truth, that we have deem
ed it necessary to present to the peO-
pie the real facts in the case.
This is "honest" Williams record: !:
He has brought in Phillips county
during his administration Is criminal
complaints. & of these he has dismiss
sed, 5 OF the defendants have plead
guilty, 3 have been acquitted, and but
l convicted.
In Washington county out of a total
Of l3 criminal complaints, have been
dismissed, passed and still stand on
the docket, and none convicted.
In Yuma county we find "a prosecu-
tions brought, 20 of them have been
dismissed, passed and pending since
1858, acquitted, dismissed by agree
ment at defendant IS cost for which de
fendant gave bond on which no action
has ever been brought by Hays and
these costs are still unpaid by reason
Of his negligence, and only 2 OF all this
company have been convicted.
In Logan county we find SO cases, Al
of them dismissed, & acquitted, dis
missed by the court for want of ar
raigDment, 3 passed to the prefent
time, in one ahe jury disagreed. and
but have been convicted.
The record for Sedgwick county,
which is still worse we omit because
we have not at hand the exact figures.
In other words, out Of 15 cases in
Phillips county Hays secured convic-
tion; out of - in Washington, none;
out OF "a In Yuma, 3; out of SO in Lo-
gan, 5. 13l cases cases commenced
and criminals convicted.
Subtract from those the cases in
which the work was done by special
counsel, employed by interested par
ties or the people while Hays slept or
read the newspapers, and this number
will be reduced to less than 2 convic-
tions for each year of Mr.. Hays term
OF office
Hays has brought y cases at s. each
and dismissed them at Sl5 each, max
ing total OF $144O. And in addition
to this enormous expense all the court
costs, clerks, sheritf's, jurors and wit
ness fees, have been taxed to the re-
spective counties, and this vast amount
of work and expense has been abso-
lutely fruitless Of results. While this
farce has been In progress citizens of
every county in the district can call to
mind numberless violations OF law and
order, particularly in the matter of in
temperance, which have never been
prosecuted for reasons known only to
the district attorney and therefore,
doubtless, personal to himself.
Can any law abiding citizen read this
record and vote for Its continuance?
Can any tax payer consent to this
further plunder Of the peoples money?

ling and Logan county, hereby certify
that we have carefully examined into
the business affairs Of Judge Armour
and unhesitatingly declare that the
charge against him of concealing his
property from taxation is untrue. We
find that he has no large amounts, nor
any amounts, loaned out in the name
of others as charged, but on the con-
trary has his savings, in the main, in
vested in property Of various kinds in
this town, county and district, on
which he pays, and since acquiring
has paid, his just and full share of tax-
es, which is very considerable in
amount. We make this stasement to
the end that truth may prevail and
justice be done.
GEO. HENDERSON, Mayor Of Sterling.
D. b. DELzELL, Ex-County Treasurer.
A. M. W1LsEY. County Assessor.
L. M. JUDD. Merchant.
Mr. Henderson is mavor of Sterling,
as every one knows, one Of the leading
Delzell was county treasurer for two
terms and has been long prominently
identified with Sterling's business and
official history. Mr.. Judd has done
business in this community for many
years and stands among the first in
wealth. integrity and public esteem.
Mr.. Wilsey is the present assessor and
has long been honorably identified
with Logan county and its interests.
These gentlemen are so we'll known in
business and official life that the mere
mention OF their names carries with it
confidence, conviction and respect, and
completely sweeps away the vicious
ISLANDERS of the News, Democrat and
Leader, and others who anonymously
contribute to these libelous sheets and
peddle them surreptitously through the
district to prejudice the minds of the
people against Judge Armour. This
certificate should prove an effectuaI
antidote for such venom.
Fourth. The attempted criticism
by an outside paper on some of Judge
Armour's decisions contains 50 little
truth as to be scarcely recognizable
and constitutes the most infamous of
falsehoods. Instead of sentencing
Eaton to three and one-half years for
simply killinga hog, the conviction
and pleas Of guilty on which he was
sentenced also include separate ver-
dict for grand larceny and two sepa-
rate pleas of guilty on distinct charges
OF killing horses; and instead of a two
years sentence in the BartholOmay
manslaughter case the maximum sen
tence was five years. Consult the court
records and not an irresponsible aud
villifying press if you would know the
truth.
Not content with these and other
like falsehoods, the opposition grum-
BILE and growl at Judge Armour be-
cause the county board, less than one
year out of six, has voluntarily extend
ed to him the courtesy of a piivate Of
flee and a little stationery from time
to time for use at court and chambers.
But these are not mere courtesies,
they are absolute legal rights, fully
recognized in every district In the
state, and none but quibbling and
desperate opposition would stoop to
treat them otherwise.
