A SLIGHT COHTAEISON
In whattaith can the republican
party ask the people of Bates county
to reinstate them in power
thfW former administration
wnen
v a s
worse than a failure? At the dose
of the war they took the rains of
county affairs in hand and in a lew
short years had her credit so reduced
that her warrants were worth
only 50 cents on the dollar, and this
with hut few bridges and no other

preciaave interna, imp.otci.iei.i.s.
They had the people burdened wit
th
an cnorn: his railroad bonded
and the countv iudf'es had to
ebt
cave
j -j
the county between two suns. The
sheriff bwcuiue a defaulter in a huge,
sum of money. Things had j'own
so i)ad that a very prominent repub
lican, now living in Bates count',
said that he pcr-on.dlv worked to
have his party defeated, as he saw
they were ruining the- county. When
tin.
uensocnus came
power,
without anv increase in the revenue,
in the short period of four years.

on
county by a radical court, were de
feated m the supreme court. In
tact, under the wise and judicious
management of democratic olticials,
Dates county has far oulreached h-r
neigiibor counties and to-day has as
good a credit any county m tl.e
State. Now we a-k", in all candor,
what claims does the lepublican
))arty present in asking the peojjle
to turn out the par .y who lia.-i made
tiie county what it i and raiSCil it
to its present high standing, to rein
state a party that will iob her treas
ury and spread a mortgage over
these beautiful and fertile farms
the pride ot everyciti.en.
A tree is known by the fruit
it bears, and an individual or
party can only be known by its past
actions, anil the actions of the re
publican party m Dates countv has
been so bad that there is not a good,
honest citizen who would not turn
pale at the prospect of having to pass
through just .such another adminis
tration as was witnessed lie re from
1S65 to 1S73-. when the democrats
came into power. The greenback
party claimed to be a party of re
form, with pure morals and a desire
to oe tiie nereides to cieanse the
Augean stables, as it were, m Dates
county, when low and heboid they
are found at the very outset anxious
and willing to cohabit with fraud and
corruption, to sell out for a mere
song to any bidder who will buy
their wares. We believe that with
a fair and impartial comparison of
the history of the two parties in this
countv, no tax payer or voter in the
county will be so blind to his own
interests as to wish to reinstate the
republican party in power.
THE PE0UL1AB POLICY
No one is so blind as he who will
not see. The Republican makes
such rapid evothtions from one ac
cusation to anothej, t hat before one
can be answered it is talking about
something else. It has been labor
ing for several weeks to discover
something wrong in the financial
statement of the county made out by
the county clerk last spring. Failing
to discover any great fraud that had
been committed by any official, its
vents its spleen by calling it a pre
tended statement and intimates that
something very dark has ben cover
ed up. Mr. Starke politely request
ed the editor of that paper, if he
thought there was anything wrong in
his statement of the finances, to
j come, in company with any two
gentlemen of his own choosing, to
his office and he would take pleasure
in showing his records and explain
anything that was not plain. A

that sheet planned to pursue in tins

sticking to its
text to the disgust of the better ele
ment ot the republican party, who
do not advocate such electioneering.
Since the Republican congression
al convention which met at Nevada
a few days ago failed to endorse Dr.
Churchill, the independent candidate
for congress in this district, he sends
us the following note.
Editcm; Times: You will please
drop my announcement out of your
paper, as I am out ot the congres
sional race. Yours Truly,
A. Churchill.
The doctor has certainly chosen a
wise course as he stood no more
show of getting to congress from this
district on the independent shute
than Nick Ford does of being elected
Governor.
We predict that after the election
in November Peter Wilson will dis
cover, by the immense numbers his
party will be snowed under, that his
peculiar talent is not appreciated in
this county and he will told his tent
and silently steal away. We will
endeavor to write him a fitting obit
uary. Another judicial decision disquiets
the prohibitionists of Iowa. In his
charge tc the Grand Tury at Musca
tine the other day, Tudge Hayes,
who recently decided that justices of
the peace have no jurisdiction over
cases arising under the new prohibi
tory laws, instructed the Grand Jur
ors that the buyer, as well as the
seller ot liquor, is guilty of an indict
able offense. It follows that the
buyer cannot be compelled to testify
against the seller, as that would be
compelling him to criminate him
himself. Judge Hayes also instruct
ed the jury that where a person is

Sullivan, Ind., October 2. Some

Governor St. John sat on his way
from Carlisle to Terre Haute last
night. The ball passed through the
window on the opposite side, mak

side on which St. John sat and a lit

just slowing up south ot here when
the shot was tired, it being exactly S

body was recovered about three
quarters ot an hour afterward, but it
was too late to resuscitate him The

Prof. D. B. D. Smtltzer: With
pleasure I state that I have carefully
examined Johnson's Cyclopedia.
After having compared it carefully
with Chambers, I am compelled to
state that Johnson's is, in my opin
ion far the superior. By its indent
ed headlines articles sought for are
much more readily found. In the
clearness and accuracy of its explana
tions, it has no suppenor. But its
especial value over others consists in
this, that it is the work of specialists
competent to treat exhaustively each
upon his own department, while the
signature of the authors name to
each important article, enables the
reader always to know of the reli
ability of the information he is ob
taining. Parents who desire to
place a very valuable and instruct
ive work in the hands of their chil
dren at a reasonable price can do no
better than to purchase a set of your
books. I am pleased with the work
to such a degree that I propose to
have a set for myself in place of the
set ot Chambers which I now have.
