trunk home.
Capt. Fee is a dentist, and entered
the army as first lieutenant. He is
now in the hospital unit.
Meade people are glad to hear of
the promotion as they feel keen in

j. N. Tincher of Medicine Lodge,
was here late last week in the inter
ests of his candidacy for the Republi-
can nomination for congress.
Though he held no meetings and
made no speeches here, Kingman Re-
publicans had a chance to draw COM
parsons between him and Mr.. Davis,
one of his rivals, who was here be-
fore. Mr.. Davis believes that the
present Democratic party has made a
fizzle of government and mess of
the war work, on account of being
controlled by the Southerners, and
that the only salvation will be the
election of loyal, true blue Lincoln
and-Grant Republicans of the old
kind Mr.. Tincher believes there is
just as much good in one party as an
other, as party, and neither of them
has a monopoly of wisdom and pa
triotism, and that every man must
be judged as an individual by his
acts, rather than whatever political
theories he may hold. So there you
are. Mr.. Davis is sure the whole
country will go to the Everlasting
bow-wows unless the Republican par
ty is returned to power and the South
whipped. Mr.. Tincher is sure the
government has done its best, even
though it has made some awful mis-
takes, and that the first thing any
body ought to do is to support it;
which does not preclude handing it
whatever free advice free and loyal
citizen may think proper after know
ing all the facts.-Kingman Journal.
