The republican central committee at
its meeting on Saturday pulled down
W. I). Crawford, their candidate for
commissioner, and substituted the
name of Hugh Rankin of this township.
The change was made because it was
thought that Rankin has some chance
of biing elected.
The commissioners are in session.
The usual work of allowing bills was
disposed of on Monday and yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon the question of
action in regard to the bonded indebt
edness came up but nothing has yet been
done. The Board expects to receive
some advice from the taxpayers of the
county before the meeting is ended.
This talk that our republican friends
are making about how certain Frank
Patton will be defeated, reminds us of
what ttiey used to say about Hon. Wm.
Garrison when he was candidate on the
Peoples ticket for representative in
1892. We all know how Garrison was
"defeated," and Patton will be "de
feated" in about the same way. We
can stand any number of such defeats.
The Peoples party township conven
tion last Saturday nominated the fol
lowing ticket: Trustee, S. J. Adams;
clerk, J. V. Fishburn; treasurer, II. A.
Burnett; justice of the peace, B. Lacy;
constables F. R. Hayes, John McDan
iel; road overseers, 1st district, W. E.

Murphy. All are good competent
men and should be elected.
Earl Ridgeway, stepson ot Wm.
Welch, a resident of this city two years

Independence, Mo., on Saturday and
died Gve hours later from the injuries
received. Earl was about 11 yearB old
and well known by the lads of this city.
His stepfather was foreman in theCres- J
set oflice in '94 and part of '95. Earl was
playing hide and seek in the streets
with some other boys when he was
caught by the car and in the absence of
a fender he was easily pulled under
after having been struck. It is
said that the Welch family will bring
suit against the company for damages,
the grounds being that the company
failed to provide fenders for the car.
A number of taxpayers of the differ
ent parts of the county met in the court
house yesterday in response to the re
quest of the county clerk through the
newspapers several weeks ago. The
question of litigation and non-litiga-tion
was discussed in its different phas
es and the legal points were very ably
presented by Ccunty Attorney Beals
and E. Sample. Late in the afternoon
A. Roessler, ot Valley township, offer
ed the following resolution: Resolyed.
That we request the Board of Commis
sioner! to cease making a levy for the
payment of interest on the 311 thous
and fraudulent bonds against the coun
ty." No action was taken on the reso
lution, though the probable effect of
such action was discussed at some
length. Fnallya motion was made and
seconded and carried, that a committee
of five be selected to act with the board
of county commissioners and that the
meeting would abide by their judgment.
The committee consists of . . R. Gor
man and J. D. Kellar, of Hazelton,
Howard Parker, of Mingona township,
W. B. Springer, of Nippawalla town-r
ship, and John McGregor, of Medicine
Lodge township. A. Roessler was
president and W. S. Ballard secretary
of the meeting.
8EKAT0K EAKEE-
On Saturday the junior senator of
Kansas, Lucien Baker, filled his ap
pointment made by the republican cen
tral committee,at the courthouse in this
city. His audience consisted mostly of
women and Populists though there was
a sufficient number of republicans in
attendance to make the usual noise.
The senator devoted most of his time
to the tariff, only touching briefly
on the financial question at the close.
He made a great effort to impress upon
the minds of the audience that the
country was living under free trade
tiaies and succeeded so far as the aver
age moss-back republican was concern
ed. But those who w ere not governed
by ignorance and party prejudice knew
that the tariff law, which Senator Bak
er calls a free trade measure, is, in fact,
a protective tariff measure. They knew
that it is a measure providing for a
higher rate of tariff, generally SDeakingr
than any tariff law in operation for the
past thirty years, excepting the McKin
iey law, and tnat even the McKinley
law was only a little more than five per
cent higher than the present "free
trade" law. He got off that old chest
nut about everybody being frightened
when Cleveland was elected but he
didif t say what was responsible for the
hard times and widespread panic set
ting in before Cleveland was elected or
even nominated.
If a Populist speaker had used the
language Senator Baker used he would
have been condemned by the republi
can press as indecent aud vulgar, but
coming from the lips of this distin
guished (V) redeemer it was well aud
good from a republican standpoint.
The speaker consumed several hours iu
making attacks on the Peoples party,
telling cute stories aud evading the
political issues as much as possible.
He roasted Cleveland unmercif udy but
commended his r;o icy. It would
be well for the republican committee
to give the senator a tip in regard to
this way of alluding to the fat presi
dent. It must be remembered that
Cleveland is oue of McKinley's most
enthusiastic .supporters and these slight
remarks, if G rover should happen to
hear of them, might have a tendency to
make him mad; consequently he would
no longer holler down Mc's rain barrel.
Well, we waited and waited and wait
ed! we had almost given up iu dispair,
but finally the senator said he would
talk about money, it was a most de
lightful thine to talk about. He began
ny telling the old story about the com
paratively limited amount of silver
coined from 1803 to J873, but, of course,
didn't say that foreign coins circulated
as legal tender during that time, and
that the population of the country had
vastly increased. He didn't say that
we were then cn a bimetallic basis and
that the value of commodities was
measured by silver fs well as gold.
Like all republican speakers, he put in
most of his time in informing us about
the amount of silver coined under the
Bland-Allison and Sherman laws, but
he did not defend the repeal of those
laws by the republican party, lie stat
ed that the republican party passed the
Bland-Allison act but he did not say
that President Hayes a republican
president vetoed the bill, and had It
not been for democratic support the
bill would not have become a law. Then
he thought he would tell something
funny. He squared himself, swelled
his chest and his abdomen, squatted
himself until he looked more like a
toad in a cool cellar on a hot summer
day, than like a U. S. senator, and said
"our pop friends are ignorant, this
country is not on a gold standard, we
have bimetallism in this country to
day." This, of course, made the "ig
norant pops" grin. If Senator Baker
is right, the republican national plat
form which says "the existing gold
standard must be preserved," is wrong.
It is Baker vs Hanna. We believe
Ilanna is boss. "What do you think,"
Baker.
In one thing we were disappointed.
We had expected that our senator
would clear up what to us is a mystery.
While he was yet a state senator and,
for that matter, when he was elected to
the U. S. senate, he was as rank a frpe
silverite as any pop that ever breathed.
He could tell about the "crime of ;73,"
and how one-half of the people's money
had been destroyed, how that we need
ed an enlargement of the currency, in
fact he was one of the free silverite
leaders in the state. But as soon as he
was ushered into the national senate
chamber he changed his views and in the
space of two weeks or a month he was
a more rabid gold standard advocate
than he ever was a free silver man. We
had hoped that he would inform us
why this sudden change. But as we
have just stated, we were sorely disap
pointed. He was as mum as a clam.
He talked as though he had been a gold
bug all his life and no one would have
suspected that he ever did advocate
free silver. But the ways of the dema
gogue do surely surpass all understand
ing. Attorney Chas. Rumsey came up
from Kiowa, yesterday to attend district
and commissioners' court.
Mr. and Mrs. XT. S. Finney left on
Saturday for St. Louis. They will visit
at Mr. Finney's old home at Litchfield,
111., before returning.
Mr. and Mrs. R. Vr. Bloom took ad
vantage of the cheap rates to St. Louis
and departed for that city on Saturday.
They visit with their son and other rel
atives in and around St. Louis during
the next ten days before returning.
Mr- and Mrs. Bloom are among our
best citizens and if anybody deserves a
vacation it belongs to them.
Editor M. A. Uull,.of the Review,
was up from Kiowa yesterday, attend
ing the commissioners' meeting. Milt
reports things in good shape down
there and predicts the election of the
entire Populist ticket. He is none of
those who believe that the farmers
ought to be defeated this year and to
prove his sincerity he is helping them
both as an editor and aa an individual.
BEYAKISMS.
Sharon, October 5, 1896.
Quite a number from this vicinity at
tended the Simpson-Long debate at
Harper. Our boys are satisfied with
Jerry's speech so far as I have
heard.
A gold dollar, or any other dollar for
that matter, since all are based on gold,
will now buy more property, including
silver, and more labor than ever before
in the history of this country; and this
increase in the purchasing power of
gold has been gradually going on for at
least twenty years, yet there are men
who will say gold has not appreciated
in value. Rats!
Senator Baker is not as good looking
as Chester. He said he was glad to see
his audience but he did not look like it
with his cold, heartless-looking coun
tenance and mouth turned down at the
corners. Altogether, and I say it seri
ouly, he does not look as if he were a
safe man to trust great Interests to.
Senator Baker said the democrats be
lieve in closing the shops and factories
of this country and the populist3 would
like to have them sold out and distrib
uted per capita. Never was a fouler
slander uttered against the populists.
While there are, of course, a few cranks
among the populists as in all parties
who are liable to say almost anything,
no populist of any standing has ever
asked that the property of the country
be distributed among the people. We
do not even ask that the class which
has been especially favored by lecisla
tion give back to the people the wealth
unjustly filched from them. We only
ask that our laws may now be so chang
ed that every man shall have an equal
opportunity according to his means.
"Equal nghts for all; special privileges
to none."
All who heardthe senator will remem
ber his saying that the free silverites
only found out in the last few weeks
that our money system is bad and his
effort to clinch the idea by relating the
story of the Irishman and the Jew.
And some of his party were unthought
ed enough to laugh and cheer. How
ever I suppose they were only cheering
the story and not the idea it was in
tended to illustrate. But it seems to
me there has been a good deal of criti
cism of our gold standard before "the
last tew weeks." How about Coin's
Financial School published in the early
part of 1S95? This treatise was a thorn
in the flesh for the goldbugs and they
began looking for a man with nerve
enough to attempt to answer it. They
finally found him in the person of Mr.
Horr, editor of the New York Tribune,
who went to Chicago to answer Mr.
Harvey's (Coin's) statements. Al
though Mr. Horr represented the mon
ied interests of the country aud was
supplied with every facility to vanquish
his opponent which money could buy
or wealth could command, including li
braries, rrcords, clerks, stenographers,
typewriters aud a large staff of advis
ers, yet he did not vanquish Mr.IIarvey
to any great extent presumably be
cause the facts were against him. Fur
ther, if I remember rightly, the Peoples
party said as early as 1891 that the fi
nancial question was the most impor
tant question before the country. Yet
Mr. Baker has the sublime audacity,
the surprising effrontery to say "they
only found out in the Jast few weeks
that our money was bad."
The Senator also said that democrats
and Populists believe in legislating lor
foreigners. Well, what else are those
doing who legislate to maintain the
gold standard? It is more in the in
terest of the English bond-holder than
In the interest of the laboring man of
this country.
Mr. Baker charged the democrats and
Populists with hypocrisy in claiming to
be so much interested in the working
man's welfare. The hypocrisy of re
publican leaders in this respect is no
torious. They asked for a, protective
tariff in the interest of labor and after
they got it proceeded to hire labor as
cheaply as possible, even encouraging
the "pauper labor" of Europe to come
here aud underbid honest American
citizens. If the republican leaders
really love the laboring man why have
they not kept the scavengers of south
ern Europe out of this country. Their
statesmen know well enough how to do
it and they had the power in their
hands until Cleveland was inaugurated
in 1893.
"Free silver will not open mills" says
Senator Baker. AH admit it will open
silver mills of the West. The miners,
teamsters, smelter men and many oth
ers will at once find employment. They
will earn money with which to buy our
Kansas farm products and clothing,
hardware, etc., from eastern factories.
Business will then revive in eastern
mills and on western farms. Farmers
will send products both east and west
and prosperity will again abide with us.
Increased business in one section will
cause increased business In other sec
tions of the country, everyone will be
busy who wants employment and all
afforded an opportunity for content
ment and happiness. I. O. IIaiin.

HAZELT0IT.
Now, Mr. Editor, we have that matter be
tween Jerry and Long all settled. Several of
our politicians went up to Harper to see for
themselves Just how the matter stood, and we
have gathered sufficient from all sources to at
least satisfy us just how It was. We took one
of the most fair minded republicans we could
find out to one side andasked him confidentially
just which of them he thought got the best of
the debate. He told us he was no politician
and was free from prejudice and from what he
could get from their arguments he had no hes
itancy in saying that Long had deeidedly
the best of it. Then we took one of our Popu
list friends out and asked hLa in
strict confidence whloh he thought had
the best of the argument. "Well now," said
he, "I am not a politician and don't think I am
in the least prejudiced and feel that 1 can give
every man his just dues in my decision, and
from what 1 could get of their argument and I
think I heard all of it, there is no doubt ia my
mind but what Jerry was far ahead of Lonjr,ln
fact Long could not begin to hold up his side
with Jerry he just had no argument, and bad
better quit right now before he loses aU the
voters in the district." Not being fully satisfied
yet we hunted up a democrat, one that had
not voted for either Long or Jetry for a num
ber of years, and one that had been voting for
Jackson from his infancy up to the present
time and may do it this fait. He told us he
heard every word each of them said, as he got
an excellent position. He said the opening
argument was one of the strongest he had ever
beard on that side of the question and that the
one following it was simply unanswer
able, and that the closing speech was equal to
anything he had ever heard up to that time.
We felt that we had It all down and asked him
who made the opening speech and who follow
ed. He scratched his head for a moment and
said "Well I will bedoggoned if I remember
which did open.but it was either Jerry or Long
or Harry Landis. A nd with all of this evidence
before us we are no longer in doubt as to
which has got the best of the debates so far.
On account of the sickness of P. M. Stephen
son, Saturday night, and some unavoidable
business on the part of George B. Johnston,
neither of them was able to unload their
speeches on the Bryan and Sewall club, but
the club was not going to meet and not have
some one give them a few words of argum ent,
and S. N. Loudon was called for.
He made a very able speech of about 40 min
utes. Mr. Loudon is not an orator but he is a
perfect encyclopodia of political knowledge,
and it is no trouble for him to entertain an
audience just as long as he cares to talk to
them on political issues. He was followed by
a short talk of probably ten minutes by W. C.
Alford. It is contemplated by the club to have
Hon. Geo. R. Snclling give them a talk about
the 17th, if he can be procured. The club In
tends to try and make the vote solid for Bryan
ana Sewall at this point. However they may
not get quite all as there will possibly be
enougn republicans left to make up a town
ship ticket. These, of course, will not all be
expected to vote as they should.
Among our people hero we only have one
man that is so afraid of his job that he will
talk against his own belief. It is very fortun
ate and speaks well for the place when we can
only find one man that has not sufficient man
hood to take a bold stand for what he believes
to be right. We are naturally proud of this
fact; it shows that the money power has not
yet reached the point where it can control the
majority of our people, neither do we be
lieve it ever will. We expect there will always
be a few persons that are afraid to say their
souls are their own but they are very few, and
growing less every day. Most of us already
realize that our jobs are only secure as long as
the other fellow can not do any better, and
that just as soon as he finds he can sret a
cheaper man, we will be given our time and
nave to take our place with the vast army that
have passed through the mills. Citizen.

What William Warren was to Boston.
what John Gilbert was to New York,
what Ben DeBar was to St. Louis. John
Dillon was to Chicago. How the
theatre- goers m the great and growing
metropolis of the west used to swear by
John Dillon, ne was the favorite
child of dramatio fortune In the days
before the great fire, which swept awav
all he had except his nams and his tal
ent. The veteran comedian has not
been seen in Grand Rapids for manv
years, and to most of the audience be
was a stranger, but his snarkline. ner
vous wit and his droll sayings, evidently
interpolated into the piece, set the au
dience Into good humor at once and
eventually into unrestrained laughter.
The play itself affords a splendid op
portunity for realization of Dillon's
jolly humor, and it is a welcome relief
from the flat, stale and chestnutty mus
ical absurdities with which most of the
farce comedies abound now a days. The
audience roared at John Dillon's every
appearance and he was especially funny
as DeSmythe. of Fifth Ayenue. His
makeup was intensely funny and his
company gives him a very good sup
port. "Wanted, the Earth" will be re
