Lamar's BoodIIng and Dishonsst
Elections.

AT meeting OF the Democrats
County Central Committee held a
Lamar recently some interesting
things took place. J. B. McGils
ray, secretary Of the eOmDsfttes anc
candidate for the nomination ioi
prosecuting attorney, in q speech
before the committee, made charges
that staggered the faithful as the
words fell from Mr. Nc Gilvray''
lips.
Mr.. MeCilvFsy sad be had livss
in Chicago, had twice voted for
Carter Harrison for mayor Of that
citv, and therefore knew something
Of the political corruption and rot
ienness that existed ia the ''wind,
city" He said that be thought be-
had seen political corruption in its
worst phases in Chicago, but when
be got to Lamar, he found
he had never before seen dis
honest elections, aud corruption
in politics. He went on to say that
Lamar in the matter OF corrupt el.
ections, was so much worse than
Chicago, that there was no eompaT-
ison between the two places, al
though Chicago had the name oi
having the most corrupt elections Of
auy place in the country. Mr.. he.
GIlvray has openly made a charge
of conditions at Lamar, which ths
people Of Barton County have fol
several years past, believed existed
at the county seat and therefore NJ
one will be surprised at MFR. MeGil
ways statements. Il has generally
been understood that votes wei
bought and sold out right at Lama
on elscnon DAYS for several year
past aud now comes q brave youni
man who knows what he is tslkini
about and publicly pioclaims tha
Lamar is the center Of political cor

at the old fashioned hotels. which are
dark, gloomy, uncomfortable and with
out modern conveniences, But al
though the marquis Is said TO be losing
lot OF money because OF his enter
prise, he evidently expects travellers
to help him as much as possible, for
the charges are pretty steep. 1t Is
not unnatural. however. for there is so
little patronage. There is nobody In

In an effort to show that New York
is safely Republican even II the Platt

attention is called TO the table of plur-

during the recent election. which has
just been published. The figures
show that the Republican plurality
outside Greater New York was 112,-

This is held to be remarkable show

drift toward Democracy has been
shown.
Not in many years has New York
had so many snow storms as this
winter, These have been followed by
big drops in the mnrcury and numer-

To such conditions is attributed the
prevalence of pneumonia. Efforts to
remedy the matter have failed. as the
