ISN’T JOHN THE MAN?
Vote for John Crawford, whose honor
and integrity is unimpeachable; who is
bound by no ring or clique; a man who
believes that right should triumph over
might, and has the courage of his con
victions.—Beacon Light.
What's that? “Integrity and honor
unimpeachable." “Bound by no ring
or clique,” “and has the courage of his
convictionst" Let us sec;
Isn’t John the man who met in secret
conclave with other supervisors and,
although a stockholder, promised his
support to the Beacon Light tax list
steal, and voted for tbe steal when the
matter came before the board for final
adjustment, thus making his shares
f worth more money and less liable to
further assessment?
Isn’t John the man who three or four
Tears ago met with the independent
central committee in Atkinson and
charged and received pay for that day
as supervisor of Holt county ?
Isn't John the man who went to the
extreme southern part of the county to
inspect a culvert, the lumber for which
bad been donated by the citizens of that
looality? And didn’t the people inter
ested in the culvert send him word by
post that his services and presence would
be deemed superfluous? Didn’t he
eharge mileage and per diem for goin g
on this trip?
kv
lin t John the nan who haa voted
regularly for each and every unnecessary
appropriation that haa been made under
the head of county litigation, now ap
proximating something like 90,000?
Isn’t John the man who insisted that
the Thompson tax certificates should be
cancelled, since which time no man has
invested in delinquent taxes, notwith
standing that prior to that time about
9M),000 worth had been purchased
annually?
Isn't John the man who used 910 of
county money to defray expenses in
securing the nomination for senator?
Isn’t John the man who approached
X a county judge who was bearing a
W “political” case and told him that he
most decide it so and so or the independ
ent party would have nothing more to
do with him? And when the judge
told him that he would consult the
-I:;'dictates of his own conscience, didn’t
" Crawford leave the court room in ahull,
("£ and didn’t the independent party defeat
K‘ the judge for a renomination just as
\ Crawford had said it would?
'tiffin Isn’t John the man who said that a
line should be drawn between the
farmer and the business man; that theh
interests were diametrically opposed?
■ Isn’t John the man who swore, upon
7,'.. the witness stand, that he owned nc
'stock in he Beacon Light, notwith
- smiting that it had been but a few dayi
V , \ '
T. iLl- - Jew-, • J
since be bad participated in a stock
holders' meeting?
Isn’t John the man who poked his
proboscis into O'Neill dwellings to see
if perchance any property bad escaped
taxation, while bis own house—than
which there is no larger or better in the
rural districts of the county—paid not
a cent of personal tax upon its contents?
Isn’t John the man who charged one
day for appraising a piece of land and
charged for tho same day as supervisor?
Isn’t John the man who advised the
board to not settle with Scott’s bonds
men when they offered $00,000, and
did he not vote against accepting the
settlement, and did the county not lose
the whole amount, and was not Craw
ford the main spring in the machine that
caused the bond to be Invalidated?
Isn’t'John the man—but why pursue
this question further? Uave we not
proven him to be a three-cornered hypo
crite, unworthy of public trust?
But still, in the faco of this record,
the Smudge says “he is a man against
whose public and private nothing can
be said.’’ We have said nothing about
his "private," it is his "public” that we
desire our readers to scrutinize.
The Smudge asserts further that "he
is a man above bribery.” The tax list
deni was an indirect bribe, because he
was interested in the contract. When
he attempted to intimidate the court he
was guilty of a crime far worse than
bribery. A man who will corrupt courts
of justice is dangerous.
Tub Vanderbilt family own more than
half a million dollars worth of lace.
Quite enough to keep all the family
skeletons covered. *
Perhaps Senator Uill accepted that
nomination in order that he may have
the pleasure of blaming the Cleveland
democrats for his defeat.
CnEAP sugar before election is the
result of a deal between the democratic
bosses and the sugar trust. The trust
will get even by raising the price after
election.
The Mormons propose getting ahead
of the W. C. T. U. and other temperance
organizations by including tea, coffee
and tobacco in the list of total absti
nence articles.
-•_>•*-<
The Stuart Ledger came out last week
on rose-tinted paper, celebrating the
soon-to-be constructed telephone line
from Stuart to Boyd county. Brother
Wertz has a mild way of painting things
red.
TnKY are even expecting to elect a
republican congressman in Texas,
strange as that may sound. This ex
pectation may be realized, but we
shouldn’t advise anybody to risk any
thing on it.
Senator Hill never came nearer to
speaking the literal truth than when he
said: “The democratic party is con
fronted with a great crisis, which sub
stantially involves its existence as a
political organization.”
John Crawvord has said—and he
dare not deny it—that if elected he
would never vote for Bryan for senator.
How will this lump of cholera morbus
set an the stomachs of free silver dem
ocrats who have been thinking of voting
for Tax List John?
A poll of Custer county, says the
Fremont Tribune, the home of Holcomb
and Kem, shows a dimunition of the
populist vote by 838, a gain of 3 for the
republicans and a loss of 20 for the demo
crats. Where does pop success appear
in the face of that sort of fact?
Discussing whether this man or that
man would accept the republican presi
dential nomination is an absolute waste
of time. No man has ever declined the
presidential nomination of the republi
can party, and no one is ever likely to
do so. Such an honor is not declined.
Fbar of defeat had more to do with
the announcement made by Senator
McPherson, of New Jersy, that he
would not be a candidate for re-election,
than did his health which was given as
the reason. Mr. McPherson thinks this
is republican year in New Jersy. That’s
what’s the matter with him.
When Tax List Crawford attended
the meeting of the independent central
committee in Atkinson in 1891, he also
drew pay as supervisor the same day, so
it is stated upon authority that he will
find it difficult to contradict. If a public
official is unfaithful in small things,
what are we to expect of him in greater
things?
--
Don’t over-look the faat that John
Crawford was the prime mover in the
Beacon Light tax list steal. When he
was on the witness stand he swore that
he did not own stock in the Beacon
Light, but we are told by a gentleman
who was present that Tax-List John
attended meetings of the stock-holders
and exercised the right of suffrage and
made promises of aid in consummating
the steal, promises that he afterwards
fulfilled, as the supervisors’ record will
attest.
Tax List Crawfobd end Populist
Orator Carer went down the road to
Page last Saturday evening to hold a
populist rally. We are told that they
liad no crowd. The independents down
there are disgusted with Crawford’s
nomination and refuse to break bread
with him at his love feasts. What was
advertised as a grand rally turned out to
be nothing more than a buttonhole cam
vass among a very few of the most faith
ful. Cld Honest John begins to scent
danger, and with a few of his friends,
is tearing his hair and gesticulating
wildly over the outlook. Ills own party
is fast becoming acquainted with his
double nature, his hypocrisy.
Tub meeting held at the court-house
Monday afternoon to discuss the ques
tion of how to provide for Holt county’s
destitute this winter, was commendable,
but we beiieye, according to evidence
submitted, that the meeting somewhat
over-did the matter in resolving to peti
tion the legislature for aid. It was not
shown that the soveral townships in the
county would be unable to look after
their destitute during the coming winter,
in fact the supervisors present said that
their townships would not ask for out
side assistance. It is a bad thing to
petition the state for aid. It gives the
county a black eye. Old Holt has never
before pleaded guilty to not being self
supporting, and from the best informa
tion we can get it was not necessary to
do so at this time. Our crop was an
almost total failure, but farmers have
disposed of their stock and otherwise
prepared themselves to tide over the
winter, and unless the situation is far
worse than at this time supposed the
cases of extreme suffering will be
isolated. The time when Holt will need
aid, if at all, will be in the spring, at
which time there will be a great scarcity
of seed grain and feed for work horses.
During the cold weather the fual ques
tion will be the most absorbing, and if
the railroads could be induced to make
appreciable reductions on coal freight
rates it would be a boon and a blessing.
