We ARE SLANDERED

don't endorse this kind Of De-
mocracy at all, or under any cir
cmumstance. It's not Democracy
at all; it's a mere apology for De-
mocracy, and we are opposed to it
tooth and toe nail.
We are opposed to the manner
the court pay it's debts, keeping
accounts filed before it for many
months. This is not right, just,
nor is it honest.
The court, we believe, is trying
to do right, but don't seem to be
able to get matters shaped up. So
far it has been a great disappoint-
ment to the people, a miserable
failure, and is the laughing stock
of the people of the county. This
may not be pleasant reading for
the majority of the court, but it s
absolutely true.
We think there is about as
much reason and sense in it's or
dering all bills filed for payment
ten days before court meets as
was the motion of the fremen
here who moved the hose carts
be creased fifteen minutes before
each fire. The court is not in ses-
sion ten days before it meets.
Many people, in fact all, who
have bills against the county, ex-
pect them to be paid promptly,
without any delay; as it is, we
know of some that have been filed
for months, and not adjusted yet.
We do not approve of such non
sense at all. We endorse most
heartily the efforts the court is
making to give us an economical
administration. 1t is honestly
working to accomplish this, but
it has gone the wrong way to do
it. Nothing is gained by not pay
ing the debts it owes. Nothing
can be gained by appointing Re-
publicans to office. Nothing can
or will be gained by patronizing
the Star. It's Republican and its
friendship is not skin deep. Be
Democrats! Patronize and ap-
point Democrats only to office.
Kick out every Republican in Of
flee. Pay your county debts
promptly and with as little red
tape as possible. Make as many
public improvements as possible.
If the court will do this we will
support it, love it, and fight for
it, but the way matters have been
manged you can count us out OF
the fight.

We understand that Mr.. Swee-
ney, president of the County
court, elected as a Democrat on
the Democratic ticket, has made
the statement publicly that the
oil Review is not a Democratic
newspaper, and the editor is no
Democrat, either, or words to this
effect. We cannot exactly figure
out what called forth this unnec-
essary language from the presi-
dent Of the court. The Oil Re
view has asked no favors from
Mr.. Sweeney, either directly or IN
directly. We supported and voted
for mis- election. We are ready
and willing to support him as an
officer in everything he does that
we can endorse. We ask no ia
vors, do not care a continental
damn whether Mr.. Sweeney, the
County court or any of his sup
porters reads The Review, pat
ronizes it, or likes or dislikes it.
We run the paper exclusively to
suit our own ideas of what is
right and wrong. Of course, we
appreciate the patronage of ev-
erybody, and of the court, but the
courts patronage does not for a
moment influence us any way.
We have a County court that
is composed of two Democrats
and one Republican. We support
ed and voted for both of these
gentlemen and made the issue for
Mr.. Riggs that elected him.
We have not had a majority of
the members of the court for
years and years, yet we have had
many Democrats that supported
the party, worked for it, spent
time and money for it's success for
years and years. At last we win.
This Democratic court, for
instance, appointed four commits
sioners of accounts in this county,
an office that is worth something.
Who does this Democratic County
court appoint? 1t has appointed
one Democrat and three Republi-
cans to fill these offices, and one
of the commissioners is a mug
wump Republican, another a re-
constructed fiop-over Democrat,
the other a man, who, when edi-
tor of the Star, said about as
mean things about the Democrats
as he could think of or clip from
other papers. If this is Democ-
racy, we are not a Democrat. We

Rev. H. B. Bowden's s Mother Dead

We announced Thursday that
Rev. H. B. Bowden had been sum-
moned to the bedside of his moth
er at GAINESVILLE, O., and who
was dangerously i'll. She died be-
fore Mr.. Bowden could reach her
home. 1t appears a telegram had
been sent to Mr.. Bowden, sum-
moning him to his mothers bed
side, but for some reason it was
not delivered to him promptly, if
it had been, he would have had
time to have been with her when
she died. Not hearing from him
the family called him by phone
and afterwards he received the
telegram, but too late to- reach
the sick lady. Naturally, Mr..
Bowden feels very indignant over
the delayed telegram, and the
way the telegraph service is man
aged is enough to call forth an
indignation meeting of the people.
This is not an isolated instance at
all, and the people should take
the matter up and demand better
service. We do not know who
is in the fault, but it is time it
was stopped. The public gener-
ally will sympathize with Mr..
Bowden in his great loss. We
could not learn any of the partic-
ulars of the death and funeral,
but extend our sympathy to the
bereaved relatives and friends.

For Illegal Voting at the Munich
pal Election Thursday.

Two men have been arrested
for casting illegal ballots at the
municipa | election held in this
city on Thursday. On complaint
of George Phillips, j. W. Staple
ton was arrested upon a warrant
issued by G. L. Lowther, Justice
of the Peace, for illegally voting
at the city election Thursday, in
the Fourth ward. The prelimi-
nary trial was held yesterday af-
ternoon, the prisoner was found
guilty and has given bond for his
appearance before the grand jury
next month, the penalty of the
bond being 5000, with D. E. Cur
ran surety. NJ. D. Hanes prose-
cuted the case, and F. L. Black
mar appeared for the defendant.
The defendant made no defense
whatever in the way of evidence,
and was not sworn himself. Mr..
Phillips was the principal wit
ness in this case, and stated in
substance that Mr.. Stapleton had
made his home in the Fourth
ward with his mohter, who after
wards married John Shea, and
moved to Martinsvillee, and that
he had not resided in the Fourth
ward since that time, and was
positive he had not been a resi-
dent for the past year.
The other man is named John
Hoffman, and no one seems to
know him. 1t is believed he is
simply what is known as a tramp,
and dropped into the city on or
about election day, and was in
duced to vote by two men whose
names have been sent to the grand
jury. Mr.. Hoffman was partly
tried yesterday, and his case will
be finally adjudicated this after
noon, but there seems to be no
doubt about his being guilty.
The gentlemen who are prose-
cutting these cases have employed
counsel and propose to have the
matter fully investigated and all
guilty parties punished. D. E.
Thoenen is prosecuting witness
in the case against Hoffmn. We
believe in allowing every man to
vote according to his best judg-
ment, but we do not like to see
men vote illegally. Perhaps these
arrests will deter people from vot-
ing illegally in the future. We
hope so. Let the majority rule,
but let it be an honest and legal
majority, no difference which side
it may be for or against.

Sunday will be an important

trial and crucifxion. His path
was strewn with flowers, and his
followers carried palms; hence
the name given this day.
