Why this great anxiety Of the op-
position press that voters should
keep out'of the circleP" Don't they
expect their party readers to vote the
straight Democratic ticketP 1t seems
not. They want the matter left open
on both sides so as to make trades
possible. Then they can buttonhole
Republican friends and ask them to
vote for the Democratic candidate for
representative, or some particular
county Office, in exchange for their
votes for some Republican candidate
(whom they know will be elected any
way.) Do not be caught with such
chat. II Republicans will mark only
the circle they can elect their entire
ticket. After all, the Democratic
advice to vote only in the squares Is
intended largely for Republican con.
sumption.

What are the iactsp We quote
from the court proceedings Of the fall

FLEcroR's news column October 81,
1898, And substantiated by the court
records:
Take Kane's record at the recent
term Of court, closed last week: The
criminal cases brought were 81; be
convicted 4; the percentage is 10.
Kane seems to be growing weaker
the longer be is in Office. OF the four
convictions one pleaded guilty and
would have done 1t In q lower court
and saved costs;another was willing to
have pleaded guilty to assault and
battery in . lower court but Kane
only convicted him OF assault; one
was q liquor case; one was against
the two negro burglars Eicholtl
marched to jail. Seventeen cases
were continued. dismissed or acquit'
ted. How's that for an efficient
county Attorney"
That is Mr.. K&he's record as
county attorney and he knows it.
The people Of Dickinson county
have had one experience with Mr.
Kane - county attorney. After ht

BY 800 majority while other Popu'
lists on the ticket won by 800 ma
