have done bad the Valetine paper opposed position - NOT A POLITICAL -QUESTION The court house question is not a poltcal question fey any means and nobody should attempt to make it in any way a political one Witness the following Senator Allen on tbe occasion at his visit last reek remarked that the is a dis grace to Cherry county and thought it strange that our people ahoald op pose tne Donas juage weseover a populist presented a number of good arguments for the bonds while sitting on the bench Monday He says this county bfgthe nnst inconvenient and illy equipped court house m the fif teenth judicial district J A Hict a leading populist of this county4 was at the last election one of theraqt active workers for the bonds George Eei nert was in faror of the bonds until last spring and only refoainpd from advocating them last spring because he wanted a bribe The vote of Val entine and other precincts showed the populists favored the proposition W A Parker populistoommissioner vot ed to submit the proposition J W Tucker republican is one ol the bonds most earnest advocates E J Davenport J C Pettijohn Geo El liott iF M Walcott anfi W S Barker editor of The Republican are among f those whose names are on the roll of honor Max Viertelipublicau com missioner voted to submit the ques tion A S Thacher national democrat circulated tbe petition which caused the question to be submitted WS iJackaon Frank Fischer M Christen- sen secretary of thedemocrat county central committee and Robert Good the bairraan favor the proposition P Sullivan democrat commissioner voted to submit the question Keapithe question out of politics it deserves and will receive votes from all parties It is a business question and could be stated ihus Shall the county of Cherry rent a better huildipg formless -money than it now pas NOT EXTRAVAGANT The Republican of last week under the heading Populists Charge Extrav agance makes a violent attack upon Miss Stener and claims that she ie extravagant in her charge foe services aa county superintendent The Republicans article was not asur prise and proves what this paper has often said about the ring The ar ticle says that Miss Soaers bills for salary anexpenses last year were 200 more than were Kings bills in 1893 Well accept tbe figures though they include 25jO0 for institute expenses not chargeable to Miss Stoner last year 1893 there were 78 schools in the county sand ibout 1400 school children he was in the east two months April and May yet he claimed salary for 249 days work The institute was poorly attendednd teachersa88oeifitions were held - spas modically In 1896 the county had 86 schools and about J500 school child xen Miss Stoner filed bills for277 days salary only 28 days more than King fend in the discharge of her duty trav eled over 1600 miles The institute as attended by a jbut two of the teachers in the county and there were and are three working associations of teachers Compare tb6 work and the salaries if you wish and then talk of Miss Stpners extravagance if you can Doesnt it seem odd though that so little as sajd for Stevenson while these attacks are made upon Miss Stoner Voters areaskiBg Who as Stevenson Wbatgualifcation has he for the of fice When has he shown any inter est in educational work Why does henotidentify himself with the work We know Stevenson went to school inhhimjnow him to be honest and abodimao and we like hicQ hut is tb3tny reason why we should oust MissStPner who for four years has given gobd satisfaction as superintend- Acood superintendent

mint the fact fat Good the editor of tbra paper is not running for office One would rcaturally suppose he wasafter reading that sheet Why -in the name of all that is good and -decent cannot Iteinert tell the truth or something lemotely resem bling it Last week he published the following as one of the planks in the demjssratic platfsrm We condemn the populists for their devotion to the cause of re form and free silver which they use merely as a clock to secure official po sition There are only six words of the fore going which appear consecutively in the democratic platform and -some of -them do not appear at all Treating populist platform in a still more hon est manner we get this resufe Resolved that vre compliment the practices of the republican county eiepk etc One is as honest as the other the difference if aoy exists being in favor of our translation Compare the sen tence printed by Georgie with the gen uine article sod see We condemn as strongly the action of the late populist convention in com pletely ignoring the efforts of the ocrat to secure a fusion of the reform forces at the coming election and charge them with the grossest insin cerity inspeaking platitudes regarding their devotion to the cause of reform and silver1 using these as a cloak un der whichthey may secure official po sition and we further condemn their action in attempting to secure votes by inconsistently denouncing a canvassing boards acts under the plea that it was a republican board when it was com posed of members of three parties CHRISTENSEN ADVTSES Editor qfF7ie Democrat As it has been stated by populists that I favor the election of their candidates for county offices please oblige me by giving space to the following LET2SR TO DEMOCRATS During the last six years it has been my pleasure to act in the capacity of either chairman or secretary of your county organization During chis time I have considered it my duty on several occasions to advise democrats to vote the populist ticket having been s asked to o by our state aud nation al orgaizatiens The result of the democratic voters support of th pop ulist ticket io county anxUstate is well rknown we are proud of the results ob tained and our hope is that the reform forces will remain intact runtil a com plete victory shall have vbeen won in 1900 The democrats of this county have held the balance of power in Gherry county for the last six years and by their earnest efforts have carried the county for the populists without ever receiving the slightest recognition or reward for their labor in fact it Lseem3 as if the populists rhave came to theeonclusion that the -democrats are part of the populist party of this coun ty It is therefore time I believe to convince them of their error and for democrats to vote their ticket straight without personal regard for any candidates-on other tickets The failure of fusion on county of ficers should be placed entirely on the populist party and particularly on the delegation from Valentine precinct who although knowing that the dem ocrats desired fusion and hadjmade a proposition tothem asking for the of fice of county judge and either the of fices of clerk or treasurer did not lay the matter before the convention but hurriedly disposed of a motion made by a delegate Crom the west ciad of the county in favor of fusion on clerk The democrats thereupon placed a ticket in the field and it is generally acknowledged thet our ticket is the bestQi the three in the field Jt de serves the support of the citizens of this county irrespective of party -on account of the particular fitness tof each candidate for the respective of fices jBemacrats let us give our tick et an active support The populists in their argument against fusion stat ed they had ten votes to our one Let them prove it They stated that we had 4io organization Let us prove we have and if we do our duty this fall I predict that the democrats of Cherry coanty will not ask for fusion on the eouDjy ticket again hi CvT7 9 x33 Everv democrat in Valentine but Good acknowledges that a vote for their ticket is half a vote for the re pnblieantiiominees This is in har mony with the workings of the editor of The JJteMOCRAT who secreted Bry an free silver literature last fall only to be unearthed by local populist3 and sent out over the county We dare this professing democrat to deny the accusation and we will prove it by sev eral of the best men in Valentine Good is anything to defeat populists Westarp News More untruths were never crowded into so few sentences The article quoted contains four sentences and the J same number of untruths The first statement needs no words the state ment is so false the second and third we explicitly deny aud the fourth is shown to be false by our support of at least two populi3ts Its preposterous to suppose that Mc Kinley and Ilanna did not -know of the plan of the Unwn Pacific syndi that road for 20000000 less than it is worth The Governments perpara tions for the sacrifice could not have been made blindly espicially with an ex government director of Mark Han nas shrewdness watching thegame New York World Vote for Childers for
