The oasis., 1902-11-08

In 1884 1t had gwen Cleveland more than 400 majority and had elected the entire democratic county ticket. In that campaign the Index made an aggressive, vigorous con test, and 1t won out. The Cleve land majority of 1884 was entirely wiped out, and Harrison received 500 majority. The republican county ticket made clean sweep, and in all the county the demo- crats elected only two justices of the peace and two constables.
 In the course of that campaign the republican committee brought to the editor of the Index a bill the sheriff had rendered in which there had been charged several dollars more than the regular fare paid to convey a boy consigned to the home of the feeble minded at Santa Clara. The Index published the bill and called upon the sheriff for an explanation. His defense, pub- lished in the party organ, was that the boy had been sent up by a busi-  ness man of the city going to San Jose on business, who had rendered the bill as returned by the sheriff. To that plea the Index replied that the sheriff was paid $4,000 yearly to scrutinize such bills, and he should not have permitted the county to be defrauded. The busi ness man, who had to go on his own affairs, had made his expenses for the trip and had been amply re- munerated without filching a few dollars on the fare charged.
 The business man himself was interviewed and all he would say was that he "had made the trip, rendered the bill and the sheriff had paid it like a gentleman" To that assertion the Index replied that the "sheriff was paid his salary to pay out the peoples money like business man and not like gen. tleman.'
 As it is usual in such cases the democratic newspapers of the county fused and fumed and had a deal to say about "mudslinging" But democratic taxpayers who had never in their lives voted anything but the straight democratic ticket, would go up to the county treas urer's office, examine the bill; then to the railroad office to inquire the correct fare, and then go to the sheriff's office and tell him they couldn't vote for him. The result was that he was overwhelmingly defeated and carried down with him the rest of his ticket.
 
 Through three campaigns THE OASIS man conducted the repub- lican organ in San Juan county, New Mexico. It was a democratic county, yet by strong, aggressive campaigns large part of the re- publican ticket was each time elected.
 In Maricopa county, in this very election Sheriff Stout who was a

fell in love with the scenery and he de-

Ships carpenter was his trade, and he
tinkered on the whalers that winter in
the harbor. He married a daughter of
white man in the port; she died six
years later and left him some proper

THE PRINCESS DAVID"
The News Letter says: The new
Princess David of Honolulu is a hand
some young woman with decided Ha-
yaiian appearance. During the opera
season she, with some relatives, was
often at the various performances, but
for some reason the society reporters
missed her. although her gowns were
maryels of French art. Like many peo-
pie who wish to avoid inaccuracies, she
or the Prince David sent to one of the
dailies a description of the frocks of
the ladies in her party. The writer was
not content with merely a description
of the apparel of the others, but when
she came to the Princess to-be, she
was described as a handsome bru-

Few Letters an ADVANTAGE.

Stress of business and the dearth OF
time will lead to a change in Presl-
dent Roosevelt's signature. He has
always been accustomed to write out
his first name in full, but he finds that
it will save him about SO per cent OF
time and trouble to make it simply T..
Roosevelt. Where a man has to sign
his name about 1000 times day it
makes a big difference. There is a
man in the office of the auditor for the
Post Office Department who, it is said,
owes his appointment largely to the
fact that his signature contains but
five letters. He is Second Deputy
Auditor N Chew. He does little but
sign his name and ne does that for
about eight hours day steadily.
