THE LAST WORD.
This ia the leak iaane of Tm
F*okt»b before election, and in
cloaing the campaign aa far aa we
are concerned we desire to
republicans to work tirelessly and be
vigilant, aa by proper effort we are
aore to be aaooeaafnl next Tneaday.
Go to the polls early, atay late and
have yoor weather eye on the count,
The state committee promises to
prosecute all fraud, either on the
part of election offloials or men who
east ballots who are not qualified
voters. We have a new form of bal
lot this year that may be passing to
some and yon ahonld be on hand to
instruct those who do not under
stand its complications and see that
they make no mistakes.
Do not be deceived by the. sensa
tional and fake stories that the pop*
nliat papers are ante to spring this
week. The campaign on their part
has been conducted on the lowest
plane of journalism. They have
had no regard for common deoenoy
and have not been within speaking
distance of the truth. Being unable
to say anything against the men
nominated on the republican ticket
they have ransacked the musty
•rhuvm of the dead and forgotten
past and dragged out the grim
ghoste of former administrations—
many of which they have misrepre
sented—with whioh to appeal to the
peesions and old time prejudices of
the people, whioh no longer exist.
Ho doubt they have reserved their
moot improbable atoriee for the last
time, -knowing that no opportunity
will be afforded for their refutation*
Every night 'during the present
week the office of the Independent
has been lighted np away into the
small hours of the morning. The
; court house ring is there. They are
■ probably reviving, resuscitating
rejuvenating the roorbacks, the cor.
K movants and the dancing dervishes
which did such valiant service two
yean ago, and will Bet them to beat
: mg the tomtoms and Bounding the
aackbut this week. Look out for
them and be not deceived thereby.

THE MEW BALLOT.
Daring the past week many old
time populists have called at this
office and requested that their names
be added to the republican roll.
Others say they are no longer popu
lists and in proof of this say that
they will work and vote for the en
tire ticket on election day with but
one or two exceptions; these
say: “I have a neighbor or an old
friend on the populist ticket and that
I feel it my duty to support him this
time.” Other populists say: “I in
tend to vote one-half of the populist
and one-half of the republican
ticket” Others say: “I feel so dis
gusted with my party nominees that
I do not know what I will do until
election day.” In nearly every in
stance they ask us to advise them
how they can, under the new election
law, vote a mixed ticket, that is part
republican and part populist In
view of the many inquiries we think
it well to explain how they can vote
such a ticket
Now if you (a populist) wish to
vote for only certain persons on the
populist ticket and wish to vote for
a number of republicans on the re-,
publican ticket you will make an X
in the circle at the head of your
party (populist) ticket only, then
an X opposite the names of the re
publicans on the republican ticket
that you want to vote for. The
judges in counting your ballot will
record your vote for the populist
tioket with the exception of those
persons on the republican ticket
whose names you have plaoed an X
opposite. Only the persons on the
republican tioket having an X oppo
site their names trill be counted for
the republican ticket In other
word* pat an X in the circle at the
head of jour partj tioket then look
over the names of the candidates ap
pearing thereon and when yon come
to the name of a person on your
ticket yon you do not want to vote
for then make an X opposite the
name of the republican candidate on
the republican tioket for the office
you want him to hold. You will
then have voted a populist tioket
with the exception of those on the
republican tioket after whose names
you have placed an X. Or if ycu
do not fully understand you may pay
no attention whatever to placing the
X in the circle at the head of your
party tioket but can place an X
opposite the names of such persons
on the several tioketa that you wish
to vote for, being careful to vote but
for one person for the same offioe.
A ballot so cast would be legal and
would be like voting under the old
law and your vote would count for
only such persons as you had placed
I an X opposite the names.
LUS LOCK AN EPITAPH.
It seems to be the case that when
a man beoomes a candidate for of
fioe on the populist tioket in Holt
oounty he considers it honorable
and legitimate to throw whisky,
boodle and lies where he thinks
they will result in the most good to
himself. And John Morrow is no
exception. Mr. Hamish received
the following letter this morning:
Chambxbs, Oct 20,1807.
J. 0. Human: Mr. Fluekey, the
present mail contractor, a republi
can and one of your friends, tells
me that Morrow is circulating a
story that you have promised to as
sist F. H. Charles, who is a pop, to
get the mail route when tenders are
let Mr. Fluekey don’t know what
to think of the matter.
Toon for success,
R. C. Wbt.
Mr. Harnish says the report cir
culated by Mr. Morrow bears not a
syllable of truth; that he is not in
teresting himself in the. private af
fairs of any man. The denial is
sufficient and will be credited by all.
The publio will be interested in
this matter. It will .be interesting
to the people to learn that Mr. Mor
row’s regard for the truth is so
fickle; that his conception of honor
is so meager; that his moral status
Binks so low; that his greed for of
fioe leads him down on a level with
the liar, the slanderer and the back
biter.
We submit to the voters that a
man Of improper moral training is
not qualified to stand at the head of
and direct our educational interests.
Do*’* forget to vote for Bowden
for county surveyor.
A kvmbeb of people are supporting
H. R. Henry from merely mercenary
motives. They do not believe him
to be the more capable, honest or
trustworthy, but he owes them and
they wonld like to furnish him a job
and draw the salary themselves to
apply on accounts loug past due.
This ,may be a matter of business
with them but it is of no consequence
to the great body of voters of the
county further than to .indicate to
them the kind of a business head tbe
gentleman has developed up to date.
We do not think it a dishonor to be
poor, as misfortune is liable to camp
on any man’s trail until it finally
overtakes him, but it is not wise for
the people to be too sympathetic
when it comes to selecting a man for
the responsible position of county
treasurer and vote for him just be
cause he is poor. When suish a man
is nominated for office by any' party
it then becomes a privilege and -the
dnty of the voting public to inquire
into the man’s financial standing and
business ability, and it is fair to take
his individual interests sb an indi
cation of his qualifications* The
office of the county treasurer is a
business office and requires a busi
ness head to conduct it to the
advantage of the public. If a man
cannot condnct a little one-horse
farm successfully, or as successfully
as his neighbors who reside about
him, how much more can yon expect
of him in the responsible position of
treasurer? H. R. Henry has made
a failure of his own business. He is
in debt He owes money that
should have been paid long ago at
any sacrifice. He owed money to
the defunct Holt county bank, a
considerable amount. Many widows,
orphans, laboring men and hard
working farmers lost their little all
in that memorable and lamentable
failure, and a dividend from the
amount owed by Mr. Henry would,
had it been paid in to the receiver,
have helped those unfortunate peo
ple out wonderfully. As stated
above, we believe Mr. Henry should
have paid the money, no matter
what the sacrifice to himself might
have been. The matter spoken of
here is one of common, knowledge to
the people and th£y are now in a
position to again say they do not
approve of that way of doing busi
ness and are not reaty to intrust
that kind of a man with the duties
devolving upon the county treasurer.
They, said it two years ago when the
gentleman was a candidate for dis
trict clerk.

D. 0. Habbison was burn March
20, 1846, in Edinburg, Scotland.
Shortly after his birth hfs parents
came . to thiB country. Jin July,
1862, Mr. Harrison enlisted in the
union army, 1st brigade, 3rd divis
ion, 14th army corps, and served
through the war. He was one of
the youngest men in the servioe.
After the war he took a college
course and at its completion studied
law for two years in southwestern
Iowa, and is therefore well qualified
for the office of county judge. In
1870, when the yellow fever was
ragiqg throughout the south, he
volunteered as nurse at Memphis,
Tenn. In 1889 he moved to Holt
county and settled in Verdigris
township, where he has since re
sided. His standing at* home will
be shown by the fact that he wiil
get a large majority in Verdigris,
although it is a strong populist
township. He was appointed post
master at Emporia in 1891 and still
bolds the office. Since 1894 he has
been chairman of the republican
senatorial committee, i position
which he has filled with credit to
himself and the party.; His elec
tion is conceded by his political
opponents, and some of the strong
est populists in the oounty admit
that he will make the best judge
Holt oounty has had for yean. Mr.
Harrison is a hardworking farmer,
and not a politician, but is in every
way qualified to perform the duties
of the office. Vote for Harrison.
Juns C. Hashish was bom in
Biverburg, Clarion county, Penn.,
June 4, 1856, and received his edu

native town and at Clarion collegiate

tional institutions in that section.

on September 21, 1882, he located
in Niobrara, Neb. At the latter
place he worked in a general store
for some time, and his ability and
fitness for a clerical position secured
him a position in the United States
land office, then located at that
place, a position he held until he
resigned it to accept the position of
deputy county clerk under Ed
Butler. On February 21, 1886 he
was married to Miss Jennie Jacobs,
of Blackbird, Holt county. That he
will be the next Superintendent of
this county we think there is no
question, and he will conduct the
affairs of that office in such a man
ner as to reflect crodit upon the
people who placed him there. Vote
for Jim Harnish and the upbuilding
of the publio schools of Holt county.

Judge Post has ever been in the
least prejudicial or influenced in any
of his decisions on account of
politics. Judge Post is too broad
minded to do such an act. The peo
ple generally hold that Bame opinion
of him and will so express them
selves on election day. The mud
slinging that has been indulged in
against him in both the former and
present campaigns emenated from a
source that can possibly carry no
weight with honest or intelligent
voters.—Grand Island (free silver)

An- omen that portends much good
for the republican ticket next Tues
day is the evident determination of
populist voters to be less hide bound
than formerly, and vote for a set of
honest and efficient officers regard
less of their political affiliation*.
This resolution on their part is pat
riotic and commendable. In such
freedom of thought and action lies
the safety of the commonwealth.
When voters firmly refuse to be die
toted to by party bosses, cliques and
clans, they have performed a valu
able service to the government.
The court-house syndicate most
be getting desperate when they have
to resort to falsehoods to secure
votes for their candidates. Vote
for the republican ticket straight
and turn these ringsters out.
When Mr. Liese was nominated
by the populists for the office of
county clerk he said in his speech
of acceptance that he would do no
electioneering, ask no man to vote
for him. The gentleman’s actions
of late call his veracity into serious
question. He has been rustling
around lately like a frenzied gold
seeker on Bonanza creek, and like
many of those poor fellows in the
land of the midnight sun he will find
that he has staked out a barren
claim. Collins will win in a walk.
The man who said “the common
observation of the common people is
better than the opinion of a specialist
in theories” wrote a salient and self
evident truth. The common obser
vation of the common people of Holt
county two years ago was that H. R.
Henry ought not to be elected to
office, and their wise conclusion
reached at that time will hold good
this fall as against the opinions of
political specialists who forced him
upon the people and the party again
thiB fall.
Ministers are expected to pay
more attention to the conversion of
Bonis than to dabbling in politics.
Let this be a warning to those
preaohers who are more interested
in drawing the sheokels from-, the
people’s pockets than they are in
their spiritual welfare. The above
will effect the conscience of those
only who are guilty.—St. Paul Press.

a better judge.
