The Middlebourne Star says
Hill is a "safe man" Hill is no
doubt safe, He will never do
anything that is not safe. He
never has and won't begin to do
so now. There is no doubt about
him being safe. He is safe from
having any legislation that will
help or injure our county. He is
safe and sure to draw his mileage
and salary. He is safe to vote as
the Star gang asks him to vote.
He is safe to not vote for any Act
of the Legislature that will not be
entirely in accord with the cor
ruptionists of this county
Finally, we agree, Hill is not only
"safe," but silly.

In the write-up Of candidates
the Star says of R. A. Martin,
nominee for Commissioner of the
County court, that his Martin 81
experience as a member of the
Board of Education of Ellsworth
district will be valuable to him.
If reports are true, this is true.
His experience will be very val
uable-he will know where to buy
to the best advantage for Martin.
We say if what we hear is true
his experience will be valuable to
Martin, but a little costly to the
taxpayers. Does the Star know
'of Mr.. Martin buying anything as
a member of the Board of Educa-
ton that there was a rebate or dis
count given to him for buying the
goods for the district We ask
the question honestly; if not, then
Mr.. Martin is being woefully lied
about, and we will publish a de-
NAL of the story. If he did do this
thing, then the people should
know it.

cts for Ben, and allowed Demo
Gratis to vote for him, and still it
all just happened so. Nobody en-
gineered the thing at all. We are
asked by sane men to believe just
such silly nonsense as this. Shri-
yer was the candidate of the Red
Ticket swindle. He knows that
system was worked here, knows it
is an open secret, knows nobody
denies it, and the only excuse pre-
tended to be given is that nobody
knew of it. If Mr.. Shriver wants
to retain the self-respect of his
friends he will decline to accept
a nomination secured by such
open, notorious and disreputable
proceedings. That's what he
should do, but he won't.

The Star says Underwood gen.
orally succeeds in everything he
undertakes" If that is true, and
we presume Harry knows and
tells the truth, this explains much
that we thought key was guilty
of. For instance, Clerk Mayfield
says but very few fines have been
collected by Ikey as Prosecuting
Attorney. Some evil-minded peo-
pie thought he did not attend to
this part of his duties because he
collected his own fees and let the
fines 60 by default. But we now
learn the true cause of this dere-
LECTION in Office-he never under
took to collect them! If he had
he would have succeeded. Then,
we know why he never, or hardly
ever, convicts any person indict-
ed, because che never undertakes
to convict them!" Now, we in
sist before he is again elected he
be required to undertake" to do
his duty or be elected to stay at
home. We expected the Star to
also insist that Ikey was not in
the Red Ticket swindle, but that
seems to be too great a dose for
Harry this time. Later on he will
no doubt plead the baby act for
his champion. 1t is an open Sc
cret here the saloon men of both
parties worked every corrupt
scheme known to nominate key
he knows it, and everybody else
knows it. Why should they sup
port himY They have been indict-
ed and could have been jailed, but
no one heard of any saloon man
being put in Jail from this city un-
der keys management. They did
run wide open, seven days in the
week, and Ikey knew it, and the
men themselves openly boast they
do not fear this man as prosecutor
who generally succeeds in all he
undertakes" He evidently has
espoused their cause, has agreed to
protect them, for this is the only
way he has been a success" IN
