REDEEM THE COUNTY.

Berry Deboe, a victim of the court
house gang, says to the people.
through the Record, that he will do
as he has always done, viz: vote for
the best interest of the republican
party. And who doubts that Berry
will do exactly what he says? Can
any thoughtful, observant republican
fail to recognize the disaster wrought
to his party by the corruption and
Vaccinations of the court house gang
who, by force aud fraud, have con
stituted themselves leaders Of their
party?
Can any such thoughtful and OBJ
servant republican fail to see the ca
tastrophe to which such leadership
is drivingl them?
Berry Deboe sees it, and hundreds
like him, who are not blinded by pre-
judice, see it. Berry Deboe in the
past has been brave enough to rise
above such prejudices and refuse to
have crammed down his throat a tic
ket dished out to him by similar
cliques, and Berry will do it again.
Although certain of the gang seiz-
ed upon his independence of machine
rule, and worked his vote against AS
bury to his defeat in the primary yet
the gang of trieksters now in control
of republican politics in Crittenden
need not delude themselves with the
belief that Berry is dead, and in
time to come, even they will confess
that his political obituary, published
in last week issue of the Record was
not merely unkind, but premature.
A vote for the best interest of the
republican party, for the best inter
est of good old Crittenden will be
cast against the Oligarchy now in
charge at the court house. There is
but one way to vindicate the fair
fame of the victims of their SANDER
aud to wrest the county from their
corruption, and that is to vote them
out.

BEWARE OF CAMPAIGN LIARS.

With this issue the Press submits
the questions raised in this campaign
to the people 1t does SO, confident
in the belief that the court house
gang will be put down and out by an
outraged public.
1t has been the constant endeayor
of the Press to enlighteu the people
on this issue. 1t has exposed the
gang, refuted their lies, aud held
them up in all their iniquity for con
demnation before the bar of an in
dignant public. In this service for
the good of the public, for the good
of all parties, the PRESS can do no
more; it can say no more. The next
issue can only record the vote. From
now until the election the campaign
liar will seek to do his dirty work.
No libel is too black, no SANDER is
too hidious, and no plot is too nefa-
rious for them to use. Oar hope and
our confidence is in an intelligent,
enlightened public which I'VE be-
lieve will pay no heed to stories or
stories started on the eve Of the cleo
ton. The fact that there have been
many morths for a full and fair dis
cussion is sufficient answer aud deni-
al of any story which would not bear
discussion. We can only repeat what
common prudence dictates, BEwARE
OF THE CAMPAIGN LIAR.

THE PARS0N PUZZLED.

Parsou Blackburn, by signed ar
ticle in the Record announces his
change of base from Billy Joel Hill
to Albert Travis, who, he says, ais
in every respect an upright, honora-
bic man. Billy Joel is all that,
Parson. and is known throughout the
county as a most devout aud consci-
entious man. Brother Blackburn,
frankness and sincerity demand OF
you better reason for changing your
support from Hill to Travis. We
thought we were perfectly fair to
Brother Blackburn when we attribu-
ted his support of Hill to his repu-
diation of the great outrage perpe-
trated npon poor one-armed John
Morgan by the court house gang in
the recent primary, and we still be-
ieve that sentiment animated him.

WHY WAS WELDON OFF DUTY2.

We want to know, and want the
court house gang to answer and tell
us why Ed Weldon was down at Sher-
idan ON the day of the great fire IN
Marion, just prior 20 the republican
primary? What was John Asher do
ing in Shady Grover We charged
and we want it denied, if you can do
so. that these gentlemen were both in
these respective localities at the in
stance of the court house gang, work
ing for the court house ticket Not
outstanding, Mr.. Weldon had no OPP
position for county court clerk, he
was not content 70 stay here aud per-
form his duties, but he must 90 down
to sheridan aud advise the repubh-
cans to support the court house gang
ticket. John Asher was not content
to stay in his office and perform the
duties of circuit clerk, but he must
go out to Shady Grove in order to
advise the republicans voters who the
court house desired 70 be- selected.
Everybody knows that the court house
gang met in a private office in Ma
rion, aud agreed upon this ticket
Republican after republican in this
town have openly charged it, aud
now you meet it by saying that you
offer a reward of $l00 to prove that
they met for that purpose. You
know the only way we could get at
the purpose of the meeting would be
by the action Of those who attended
it, after it was over, and the only
way outside of this to get at the pur-
pose of the meeting would be for
some one in the meeting to turn
state : evidence. But the boys keep
mum, and all of them plead not guilty.
There are lots of fellows that are put
up on trial in the circuit court that
would meet the commonwealth with
the same plea but, gentlemen, this is
too thin, this is too transparent The
people Of the county understand. The
fact is, that If we could get a hold Of
some one of the gang who attended
the meeting, and have him to make a
confession, the 400 that you offer
would be like the Khediveship you
promised to DIR. Moore-it would not
be forthcoming.

HONESTY OFTEN
MAKES POVERTY.

The writer for the Record who
made the assault upon the democrat
ic ticket because they were poor will
feel the effect of this on election day.
The people of this county, whether
republicans or democrats, do not ap.
prove, and will not support him for
office who assaults men because they
are poor II Dave Woods, during
his services in office, had charged a.
Weldon has for the four years Of his
service, he would not be a poor man /,
and you may rest assured Of one
thing, that if Mr.. Weldon is contin-
ued as county clerk Of this county he
will be buying several other addi-
tions to Marion, together with Wal
ter Blackburn, who, too, has been re-
ceiving $1,000 year as Deputy L.
;. Marshal, aud is now receiving the
sum. while he is down here campaig.
biGg this county for county Judge.
No one will ever make the charge
against Weldon that he is a poor man
for the people Of this county have
found out that he charges for every
thing that comes his way.
Walter Blackburn ought TO have
resigned his Office that pays him ell
600 dollars year, but he still holds
on to it, and begs the people Of this
county to put him in office as their
county Judge, and until that time
comes he holds tightly to the $1,000
job he has. Let Walter keep that
$1,000 job. That is more than the
county judge Office would pay him.
Ii would be an injustice TO take it
from him. If you do some writer for
the Record will be pointing him out
as a poor man, and therefore disqual-
flied to hold office. A little wealth
affects some men terribly, but they
will learn before this fight is over
that the people love Joe Rochester
because his poverty attests his hon
esty, his qualification and his uni
form kindness to his fellow men. And
so it may be said of all the rest of
the democratic ticket. Gentlemen,
do not taunt our ticket with h
charge of poverty. The Constitution
nowhere says that debars from hole

THE "GANG" ROUTED.

At the beginning of the campaign
the court house gang, with the blare
of trumpets, opened the battle at Go
ing Springs school house, and inyit-
ed the democratic candidates to meet
them in Joint debate. Judge Roch-
ester and Tom Champion appeared
upon the scene A debate was had,
and the unanimous verdict was that
the court house gang had been rout-
ed and more debates were had be-
tween Rochester aud Blackburn and
Henderson and Champion, and still
the report came that the court house
gang had been routed, until they
met at Sisco's Chapel the debate went
on, aud Henderson, in order to keep
his opponent from a fair division Of
time, which he so generously there
tofore rendered, spoke far into the
night, and made it impossible for MIR
Champion to reply Since that time
the debates ceased and il seems they
could not get the court house gang to
divide time with them. They would
make appointments and not let the
democrats know anything about it.
And, when by chance or accident
they learned of one of these appoint.
meuts they would go out, these great
challengers for joint debate, would
tell them that likely they would not
have time 10 grant il. At Shady
Grove last Saturday, Henderson,
was there. De b e, thoug h,
was not present. Mr. Cham
pion wanted division of time there
but MIR Henderson refused il. What
is the cause Of ali this upon the part
of the court house gaug2 The peo-
pie were learning the facts, aud they
were becoming familiar with the sit
uation in this county, the court
house gang was being exposed. The
truth when told in joint debate was
destroying their opportunity Of sue
cess. The leaders ia the county
here saw it, and these great gentle
men who were going to wipe their
opponents of the map, have become
as docile a. an OK, aud a. tame as a
pet. Now Rochester can go through
out the county and Champion can "a
where he will, aud they can not Get

What has become of the charge
made in the Record that they would
prove that the indictment agains
Judge Towery had been "hatched,

by Judge Towery, who said over his
own signature that the indictment
against him was procured by mem
bers of his own party for the purpose
Of defeating him in the republican

G0EBELlSM.

William Goebel has been sleeping
the still, quiet slumber Of the dead
for nearly six long years. His aspi-
rations, his ambitions, and all that
was earthly of him, whether good or
bad, are buried forever with him. Yet
do we have men going up aud down
the country frantically shrieking,
"GoEBELIsMl GoEBELIsMl GoEBEL-
ISM They were at Shady Grove
last Saturday, and yet again did they
cry out with loud voice, "'GoEBEL-
BELIsM, GoEBELIsMl GoEBELIsN
They know they are sorely afflicted
but they havn't the crudest idea as
to what their real ailment is. Their
Doctors, before they left their call
ing and drifted off into violent poll
ties were doubtless valuable mem
bers of their profession and ''up-to-
dat" but when they come to pre-
scribe for a serious case of bilious
political Mysteries, and a chronic
case of running of at the mouth,
such as their editors and some of
their candidates are afflicted with.
they are totally uuprepared for such
work. What their case demands is
not more republican jurors, but less
republican evidence and testimony,
and fewer republican WITNESSES
Golden, Culton, Cecil, Youtsey and
a dozen more high up in their party's
councils, and all republican witnesses
aud STAR witnesses, and we will name
another, Of more recent fame and also
STAR witness, one Sullenger down
here before the Crittenden county
grand jury. These are the fellows
that are making their life a burden
TO them, We might boast of the
Jurors that when it comes to witness
es their triumph is complete. We
doubt the wisdom of the voters al
lowing such political wranglers as
Carl and Walter to preside over the
destinies of this county and are of
the opinion they should be passed to
another field of labor, where they
will cease for season trying to agi-
tate the public mind and become agi-
tators of the soil.

The charge is brought against
Judge Aaron Towery that he had
been associating with Press Maxwell
and Ollie James, and for that reason
the republicans defeated him for the
nomination for county judge. Of
course that was great crime to asso-
ciate with these gentlemen, but the
great men of this community would
have been sought out by Judge Tow
cry for association, but for the fact
that they were too busy in the court
house yard eating watermelons in the
summer; and what time they were not
thus engaged, they were talking to
themselves, saying, Il understand,
or if not doing any of these things
were drawing their ''per diem pei

While the Crittenden Record is
trying to stir up party passion in
republicans against Dave Woods and
Joe Rochester, by charging partisan
juries, which has been thoroughly re-
futed, it looks like they would find
something in Dave Woods record that
was partisan to charge him with, if
anything there was. Dave Woods
las county clerk of this county for
many years. and you can not find a
republican with search warrant (nor
even with the microscope that DIR.
Moore is supposed to have gotten in
order to see his supporters), that
would say that Dave Woods ever dis
eliminated against republican.
Hundreds of them in this county will
say to you that he was their adviser
without charge, their servant with
out pay, that they never called upon
him in their life that he did not do
for them anything in his power with
out cost. The same can be SAID of
Judge Rochester, and what republi-
can in this county can ever accuse
him of partisanship in the perform
ance of his duty? You do not as
sault the juries in his court. You
do not charge partisanship against
him in the decision of cases when he
was their judge. The record of both
OF these gentlemen as public
othclals is open to inspection and cri-
ticism, but the fact that you have TO
try to arouse prejudice against them
by assaililing the circuit court is con-
elusive evidence that you can not nd
anything wrong which they have ever
done. For the fact is, the republicans
want these men in Office for they know
they made faithful and Competent af.
fcials.

VICTORY ON EVERY ISSUE.

This is the last issue Of the Pass
before the election. The battle be-.
fore the voters Of the county has been
fought. A review Of the issues made
and discussed is a continued triumph
for the democratic ticket, and a.,
complete overthrow Of the court house
gang. Their assault on the iuries
was thoroughly and completely an.
swered. When they said that TWEEN.
ty-odd republicans were indicted by
a democratic grand jury, We answer.
ed it by declaring that the Jury
which indicted these men was com.
posed of seven republicans and five
democrats, and we published then
names to sustain the truth of TIM.
statement. They then said that the
jury which tried the republican. the
only Que placed on trial, was a demo.
cratic jury. We answered thi. by
saying that that jury was composed
Of ten Republicans, one Independent
aud one democrat. We then challep.
ged them boldly to name one. lust
