To tho Voters of Lincoln County,
An anonymous circular lias been
put in circulation insinuating tliat
P. L. Harper is supporting mc for
the purpose of securing my assist
ance, when elected, toward a bank
at North Platte. I desire to stamp
that circular or any charges of that
character as false.
I have no knowledge as to
whether or not Mr. Ilurpcr is sup
porting inc. But if he is, I presume
it is for the same reason that any
other republican would, that i,
because 1 am the the republican
nominee,
1 want again to assure every vo
ter of the county that when I ent r
upon the duties of the office of
county treasurer next January, it
will be with the determination to
run the oflice according to law and
in the interests of the whole peoplr,
and no man or any set of men will
have any strings on inc.
Very respectfully,
C. F. Schakmanx.
A Card rrom Mr. Holtvy.
ICniToit Thuiuni:. The Urn has
been publishing some statements
which arc false and deeming it
right I called upon the editor, and
asked him if it was to late to put a
notice in this issue, (Oct., 30!h
The editor said it was not too
late so I handed him a statement
and asked him to publish it, wheri
upon he began to make excuses
that they had to let a good deal if
matter go unpublished in that
issue and asked if the next issue
would do. not saying that, th'y
would publish it and as he said it
was not too late I prepared it then
as I wanted it to get before the
public. One of them said leave if,
if it gets in it gets in, if not. not. I
left it and was informed later they
would not publish it. Now 1 wish
to be placed before the people in a
true light and will give the ques
tions and ans.wprs.
First: They claim I have been
promising cattle to parties to keep
or winter for their votes, wliil I
have no cattle. '
Now there is not one man in Lin
coln county or any other county
for tnat matter that I have prom
ised any cattle for their vote and
who ever put it in print tells what
is not so and more he cannot bring
a, man that will say so. The truth
is I have some cattle in my enre
whichl have kept. I make con
tracts in the fall for the keeping
for the winter and summer, 1 have
had several applications for keep
ing them this winter and for some
next summer and I have told all
applicants I would not contract
until after election. If lam elect
ed they will be to let, if not. if is
probable that I will look after them
myself.
Second, as to sheep, I have none.
Third: As to boarding, Hint is
another falsehood that originated
with the editor of the ICrn.
Fourth: The Fra says will Tin:
TnniUNi: be honest enotiirh to ad
mit that Mr. Iloltry held out everv
dollar in fees which the law allowed
and the county commissioners
would permit him to expend in the
way of additional clerical help.
Now this is a fact and the records
will bear me out. The 3lst dav of
December, 1808. there was short en
my salary about $150. I had to
wait until the next July to get it.
I had a claim against Lincoln com.
ty for 5800 which was not filed be
cause there was no mo.ney in the
fund to pay it. If there had bun
I would have filed and collected it.
then I could have got the balance .f
my salary and would have turned
the balance in to the county, a it
waB the county lost not a cent of
interest but I am out the interest on
$150 for six months. Now you can
comeback at me as much as ) on
please. I am proud ot my record
and the records are here for ex
amination ami anyuody out a
twister will find them correct.
Respectfully submitted,
W. M. HointY,
County Clerk,
Your Minister
