w. G. Hoffer, editor of the Sylvan
Grove News and Democratic candi-
date for congress in this district three
years ago, takes fall out of DR.
Dykes and his Populist friends in the
following language:
I'VE have been waiting for some
time to see something in the Populist
press of the appointment of John b.
Dykes as d member of the State Board
of Health by Governor Stanley. 1t
will be remembered that Dykes was
the Populist nominee for congress
last fall. and in his campaigning in
this county openly charged that the
candidacy of Tully Scott was in the
interest of Reeder. BY his acceptance
of a position under the Republican
state ADMINISTRATIONS purely parti-
san position at that-John b. Dykes
lays himself liable to the charge that
he has received his reward for his de-
feat of Tully Scott and the winning
assistance he gave poor peace-maker
Reeder
1t is true there is only trifing sal
airy connected with the position. but

peculiar facilities offered for working
graft from the legislature. This APP
pointment of John Il. Dykes recalls
the appointment of Henry Dykes to a
similar position by Governor Level

to, and it seems that opening is again
being made for a re-enactment of Off
cial scandal that pervaded admins
tration circles under the first reform
government on EARTH
We say we have waited for the Pop
ulist press to say something on this
appointment; but our waiting seems
to be in vain. Can it be that the re-
