That little squib in Tuesday's Tribune relative to the decapitation of Major Walker as poormaster seems to have stirred things up. Commissioners White and Horminghausen became real angry, threatened Bare with all sorts of dire things, and the Telegraph dovoted a column practically to Bare. Not-withstanding this, Tho Tribune has no re traction to make. Technically Major Walker resigned, but he resigned to escape being fired. He was given tho "tip" that he would bo replaced by another man and hastened to hand in hii regisnntion. The difference between a forced resignation and being kicked out of office is about as great as the difference betwten two peas. That the Telegraph, which lays claim to being the leading republican paper of this section of the state, should rush so frantically to the defense of demo cratic commissioners might be con sidered rather peculiar to the unin formed, but when it is known that this support of The Telegraph is bought and paid for by county publishing, it loses its peculiarity.
