The Republican of last week in an
editorial upon the District Judgeship
contest case between Wejstover and
Oartow afier reviewing the case
makes some very stronir assertions
which reflect upon the populist party
audits members the Ikdi pkndent
feels palled upon to refute Vnse false
Recusation It says the populist
leaders are si tempting to steal a lis
iiiet judgeship This statement is in
keeping with most statements made
by thci i sheet The only place uhrte
Judge Bartow claims fraua is in
Dawse county and with the canvassing
board and we ate pleased to imfonm
the Republican editor that the county
clerk in that county who is by law
authorized t appoint two men -to as
sist him make the otlicial canvass is
a republican and the men selected by
him are a democrat and populist
If their was any stealing done the re
publican clerk certainly had a hand in
it In regard to the six Bartow votes
is near home and is truh the most
flimsy arguement we ever heard pre
sented This nut a populist precinct
and the republicans were represented
on the election board did the republi
can judge allow Bartow to be defraud
ed out of votes that rightfully belong
ed to him this is a likely story and
must be a last resort And the Re
publican attempts to misleat its read
ers b saying that the populists are
attempting to steat a judgeship As
to the disgraceful words in regard to
Judge Westover we have only to call
the attention of our readers to the low
down dishonorable work which this
contemptable sheet resorted to two
years ago when the present county
superintendent was elected and before
she went into office and was given a
chance she has since proven to be
the best official ever elected to that
position in our county and her work
was approved by the voters in the re
election by a large majority We pre
dict that the same will be the ease with
Judge Westover It is characteristic
of this man Barker to insult through
through his paper every populist of
ficial elected TJe refers to the record
of the populist party being such that
it drives honest conscientious men
from our ranks Talk is cheap 1
ever before And had not over oie
hundred popuhat voters moved out of
this county the republican party
would have been snowed under by a
good majority which that party cer
tainly merited upon its record for the
cold black crime of dishonesty in or
fice
Latter The Supreme Court has
granted the writ of mandamus applied
for by Judge Bartow and the returns
of Dawse county recanvassed with ihe
same result as before which elects
Westover by 11 votes -over Bartow and
he now holds the certificate of election
During the camnaign in Ohio this
we will rind plenty of work at good
wages which is all the American peo
ple ask for Corn wheat oats and
labor should raise instantly if the re
publican confidence plea is correct
The fact is this talk of confidence in
the republican part is made to de
ceive voters and they accomplished
the purpose to their hearts content
Can men be hood winked in this mat
ter for ever Will they never learn to
do their own thinking
It is very encouraging fact to know
that the populist party has shown a
large increase of votes in every stale
aud territory of the union especially
in the eqstern states where the party
has had no effective organization for
over a year or two In many states
the vote has more than doubled
while in some states the
multiplied by five six and eveu ten on i
our former vote If this looks like Ga

dying the populist party is a veryiive
ly and vigorous corpse If the party
declines in the next year as it has
done in the past we will knock both
old parties crazy in 1896 Falls City

Did anybody times to be

to be bad when money was plenty If
that be so what right have the people
to let a few rascally gold gamblers
make money scarce when the govern
ment which belongs to the people has
year Gov McKinley said in his I the power to make it pleuty and it is
speeches throughout the state that
the prosperity that would flow t all
people by an endorsement of the re
publican ticket iu Ohio would be felt
from one end of the country to the
other How abouc it Did this great
man lie The very next day after
election the men employed in the
npnhflr TTamndon Watch Co estab
lishment of Canton Ohio were notifi
ed that their wages would be cut 25
per cent and employment given only
three days in a week This is a sam
ple of the prosperity brought by re
publican success The victory of no
political party can bring prosperity to
the people of this land until through
legislation the national crimes accom
plished through bribery aud corruption
have been righted When this ia done
vit matters not what political party is
in power a general wave of prosperity
is sure to follow and this nation will
be populated by a happy and content

the republican party is thin bosh

they are less criminal than their ad
