Johnso*. ora SXirTIKXHTS EXACTLY! Springview Herald: The chief object of the Springview ring, after their nat ural and overpowering thirst for office, is to get their poluted paws into the county treasury, then they can start a bank at Springview, deposit the public funds in the bank and then loan it back to the people at three per cent a month. Be careful that there isn’t a Baitley ring being organized in Keya Paha county, only on the other tide of the political fence. They are shouting “Bartley!” and “thief!" a great deal, and you know it is an old gag for pick-pockets to go along the crowded streets of the cities, every little ways exclaiming "Look out fpr pick-pockets!” and just about the time the excitement is the highest over their alleged warning they go right to picking pockets, for by this method they can tell just whose pockets to pick, as everyone who has a well filled purse will feel to see it it it there all right. Watch the man who shouts “pick pockets!" and watch the gang that is howling “Bartley!” Mark the predictione and watbh the indicator. Men of th Joe Bartley stripe are not particular what political faith they steal under or what party they disgrace, all they want is power. This local gang have accused the Herald of up-holding Bartley. Not much Mary Ann, the Herald doesn't uphold Bartley any more or half as much as it does a common cattle, horse or saddle thief, and our readers know how much that is. Bartley’s steal was a ring steal, not a party steal; and the principles of the party that he disgraced should not be charged with his crime, the party was simply a victim of mis placed confidence, it elected Bartley as an honorable man and he proved to be a rogue. Down with all such men as Bartley and down with the Springview ring lest they turn out as Bartley did, is the Herald’s politics for this fall’s cam paign. To heal the broken and diseased tis sues, to soothe the irritated surfaces, to instantly relieve and to permanently cure is the mission of DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. Hbbsbishb&Gilugah.
