The Atkinson Graphic has turnad its
pink little toes up to the daisies and the
bright sun of populism looks compla
cently down and smiles upon the scene.
The plant has been secured by the Plain
Dealer, which now has the field to itself
and Bro. Eves will no doubt fill it com
pletely. Atkinson’s famous republican
majority will be reduced to a whisper
this fall.—Holt County Independent.
The editor of the Independent has
evidently got a very poor opinion of the
republicanism of the Atkinson republi
cans if he thinks the disposal of a news
paper will cause them to go back on
their principles. He is evidently judg
ing them by someone else, but when the
election returns are in this fall he will
find that "Atkinson's famous republican
majority," instead of being "reduced to
a whisper" will have have been raised to
a shout. _

is going to celebrate "The Fourth” on
Saturday, July 8. Every preparation is
