Acklin is an Issue.

The Tidings said last week that
Judging by the columns of last week.
Grit-Advocate one not being otherwise
| informed would think that Ack!in wa,
the only issue in the present county
| campaign. when Ms a matter Of fact
| Acklin is not candidate and could
not be even il he so desired. because
he has not gained residence here
yet"
While the editor OF the Tidings is
not the only Issue in the present
county campaign, he is certainly one
OF the important issues. So great an
issue is lie that the result OF the elec.
tion on November sth will determine
whether or not he Is to seek newer
fields or is to remain in ,Iulesburg and
continue to preach calamity and kind
red doctrines during the next two
years.
The election OF the democratic
county commissioners will mean an in
dorsement of Acklin and his methods,
and it will insure the continuation of
his campaign of opposition to all prog
ress. On the other hand, the election
OF the commissioners nominated by
the republicans last Saturday will
sound the Geath knell OF Acklin and
his organ of diScorj.
Neither can remain here without
more patronage than he is receiving.
and when the possibility Of securing
the county printing is removed by the
election OF the republican commits
>ioners, Acklin will pack up his outfit
and hike for II more congenial cline
This is one of the issues of the pres
ent campaign, and it must be decided
by the people at the polls next month.
II they want u continuation of Acklin
and his organ, they will vote for the
democratic commissioners: if they de-
sire to rid the community of them,
they will vote for the republican, COM
miSsioncrs. Personally, we are willing
to abide by the decision of the major
ity of the voters.

Bring 1t HOME to Yourselves

One day this week We heard citizen
OF Sedgwick county condemninR Gov
srnor Peabody for deporting innocent
men from the Cripple Creek district
during the strike troubles in that dis
trict q few months ago. This man is
q believer in the enforcement OF law
and the punishment of evil-docrs, and
the only fault he seemed to find with
Governor Peabody was that he did not
use sufficient care in sending members
of the Western Federation Of Miners
out OF the state. Because of this a
few innocent men were deported.
In reply TO our friend We cited him
to the fact that the criminal annals OF
the country abound in examples CT men
who have been convicted of crimes, of
which they were afterward found to
be innocent. Just SO with the inno-
cent men who were deported from the
Cripple Greek district by Governor
Peabody. possibly few Of them were
innocent OF the dynamiting outra9es
committed by the members Of the
Western Federation OF Miners; il SO
they suffered the penalty OF having
evil associates.
Take the matter home to yourselves,
citizens OF Sedgwick county. Suppose
4 gang of tramps should locate a rem
devious In this county: suppose that
some OF these tramps should commit a
heinous crime, and should be arrested
and convicted in court OF Justice.
There would probably not be sufficient
evidence to convict the whole bunch
IT even completely in the crime: what
would be done with these? Would
they be allowed 10 remain In the coun.
ty aad further menace the safety OF
the entire community? We think not.
They would be depc.ted out Of the
county by the proper authorities, and
we believe that thsFe is not a person
In the county who would not uphold
the authorities in this course.
Thts 10 what Governor Peabody did
He sent gang Of cutthroats and mur-
ierers out Of the Cripple Creek dis
tPiet. In the bunch there may have
been an inbocent man or two, and il
- it Wss unfortunate. But the ma
josity Of tiHse depOrted deserved n
Rrester punishmeut than they receiv-
ID. The inn0cent men suffered for the
crimes II their associates Under the
circumstances il wle una votdablc.

a Correction.

Last week unde: the mead OF "a
Real Object Lesson" we published a
statement to the effect that Jonathan
Porter had lost the sale Of his land be-
cause the prospective purchasers learn
ed that the land was no. in the Jules.
burg Irrigation District. We secured
onr information from sources which
we supposed to be reliable, otherwise
we should not have published the arti-
Gle. However, since the publication
OF the article in question we have
been informed by Mr.. Porter that we
were in error: that no parties from
Chappell, nor from any other locality,
offered to purchase his land at go 90
per acre provided that it could be put
back Into the irrigation district. In
fact no offer was made upon Mr.
Porter's land, but the parties mentior.-
ed did make an offer upon quarter
section of land owned by A. D. Coy.
the offer being made upon the suppos-
ton that the land was in the irrigation
district. When it was found to be out
side the district the deal was called
Off.
We make this statement at the re-
quest of Mr.. Porter, and in justice to
him. The correction is cheerfully
made, for we do not desire to misrep-
resent any body, nor any fact.

Not Worthy of support

The nonde>cript county ticket norni-
mated by Acklin, Coumbe and others
early last week was indorsed by the
democratic mass convention held in
the Tidinss Office last Saturday after
noon. The only change in the ticket
was made before the convention as
sembled and that was the substitution
Of w. f. Miller for Fred Woodlands
as a candidate for commissioner, it
having been found that Mr. Wood
hams was in the same district as j. H.
Parker. The ticket as it now stands
is composed Of two democrats and
eight unknown quantities, at least
they are not known 10 be republicans
not even renegades: neither are the,
known to be democrats, for they OBJ
jected so strongly to being classed as
democrats that the "Inde pendent Re
publican ticket was placed in the
field for their especial benefit. If any
person can show us why such people
are entitled to the support of either
democrats or honest republicans, we
will be willing to acknowledge that we
know nothing of politics and will be
