of Justice in old Adair-not single
one of the present officials will remain
in charge. 1t will be clean sweep-and
who is responsible? The answer is the
Republicans and their little primary.
And it will be Is years before the
party wilt even partially recover from
the effects of the scheme which great
many of US was led to think would
prove great suscess. But alas! We
all acted with very little sense when
we entered into such an arrangement.
l am speaking of the candidates now,
but its all over now, so let it be.
for one am glad to know that my
political aspirations were born and
buried in the short space of of one
year, and if reason sits in throne | am
sure that / will never ask for an office
again, because my own party has said
twice that am entitled to no recogni-
ton at its hands, and | think that
should suffice for all time to come.
see no reason for a man dying out
right because he gets defeated.

when 1 walk out of the circuit clerks
office as Deputy on January 3, 1910,
| know l shall find some kind of employ
ment and still be independent, of public
favors. And hope that when the cir
cult clerk elect steps within the portals
he will find every thing aquare up, and
in receptive condition. Although l
will not be present to greet him, be.
cause he has wronged me in way

1t all turned out very much like /
told certain gentleman several months
ago, and doubtless he will remember it
when he sees this article that the Re

were preparing to turn the county
Offices over to the democrats and they
