A FALSE MISLEADING DOCUMENT.
Secretary Foster has, at the bidding
of the WaL street money kings, pre
pared and sent forth, "a misleading and
absolutely false document," as is proved
conclusively by reports of previous
treasurers, President Grant's message,
clippings from old papers and letters
and extracts from the speeches of many
members of congress. The Foster
circular claims that there has been no
contraction of the currency since 1800,
and that the interest-bearing bonds
were not used as currency during the
war. It also claims that there is more
currency per capita in circulation thar.
ever before.
Bold affirmations of what is false has
become the common, as it is in fact the
only possible, way out ol political diffi
culties. It is very dangerous to the
robber class for the people to got hold
of the truth. And if they get hold of
it, it must be torn from them if it can
possibly be done. It was thought that
a report from the secretary of the treas
ury would be believed, no matter how
much he lied with figures. It seemed
to be a cheap and easy way to check
the free coinage agitation and silence
tho demand of the people for more
money.
But the time has gone by when the
people can be duped by politicians, and
robbed. Tho reform press is letting
light in on all the tricks and devices.
GRAND INDEPENDENT RALLY.
The great day of the campaign will
be Monday, October 19. Jos. W. Ed
gerton, candidate for supremo judge,
Hon. O. M. Kern and Hon. W. A. Mc
Keighan, our members of congress,
will speak in Bohanan's hall in the
afternoon and evening of that day. The
independents should plan to attend,
coming in from all over the county.
Republicans and democrats will be
corious, as well as honestly interested,
to see and hear these men, concerning
whom so much has been said, and they
will only need to know of the meetings
to secure their attendance. Let the
news of the Monday meetings be scat
tered by every independent among all
those who are likely not otherwise to
hear of the rally. Then load up jour
wagons and bring in all who will come.
The state and county central committees
have united to make Monday a day
long to be remembered in the history
of Lancaster county politics.
The common opinion is, that income
taxes would be pretty generally shirked.
But in Switzerland they have a way of
getting even. "If a man shirks his in
come tax the government takes account
of stock at his death and reimburses
itself for the delinquencies of years. His
heirs get all that belongs to them, all
that they would have had if he had led
an honest life and paid his income tax
as he went along, instead of its being
finally taken from his estate in a lump
sum. Such a law as that in tho United
States would cause some ef our million
airef. to 'turn over in their graves'."
The railroads and foreign and Amer
ican syndicates have secured possession
of 305,000,000 acres of our land, atid
tenant farmers are multiplying, the in
crease in their numbtr coming largely
from the class of mortgaged fanners.
The mortgage growing without labor
night and day finally forces a sale and
the homesteader becomes a renter with
no permanent abiding place.

that Kansas is aroused?

DUMPLS G IIS DIGNITY.
When it was announced that J. W.
Edgerton had consented to make a few
speeches in the state in the interest of
the independent party, republicans
threw up their hands in holy horror.
They said it was beneath the dignity of
a candidate for tho supreme bench to
make a canvass. They were anxious
that Edgerton should stay at homo, and
let the republican press lie about him,
as being a man of no ability and unlit
in every respect for the position. But
the dignity scheme wouldn't work, and
Post has now dumped his dignity and
is preparing a campaign speech to in
flict on the entire state. He will prac
tice it before very small audiences in
the extreme northwest for a week or so,
when he will be better prepared to as
sault crowds of twenty-five, or even
thirty in the more populous counties.
He will be prompted by his lieutenant
and our lieutenant governor, who will
accompany him with a supply of fresh
turnip bitters, prepared from the pres
ent season's crop ol turnips grown upon
Tom's own farm and bottled by his own
hands. Tom will leave a half dozen
bottles in each county, with instructions
to give one to each Post voter fr;e of
charge on proper proof of his voting for
Tost, with instructions to send in all
unclaimed bottles to his office.
Post's speech is being prepared with
special reference to explainining how
he and Judge Reese view the law and
the evidence in cases where the rail
roads have an interest, so differently,
and how they arrive at such opposite
conclusions. We suggest as a solution
that Post has a cinder in his political
eye from riding on the cars. But no
damage will lie, as he accepted all risks
when he accepted a tree pass over the
roads. It's hard, but we know no rem
edy for judicial blindness but judicial
rest.

M CLAY S ODOROUS RECORD.
Will Lancaster Voxrs Continut to be
Robbed by the McClay Regime?
EniTOH Farmeks Alliam k Mr. H
V. Hoagland, deputy sheriff, came out
in ft long article in the Lincoln Journal
denying many statements made by me
in tha Uitrld utrald one week, ago last
Sunday. Siin McClay is at Hut Spriugs
working the .sympathy racket, and
Hoagland is left here as a barricade
from attacks on Sam. This be con
siders his bounden duty and he rushes
in.o print branding everybody as liars
who dare assail his master' integrity or
honesty. I might s.'iy a great many
very hard things in reply to iioag'and
tirade, but I will be charitable. A
basketfull of affidavits, concerning
Sam's shortcomings in a social way,
has been offered me for publication,
but I will not give them publicity. I
prefer to take tho records. Wh.t I say
in this letter any man can ascertain by
visiting the court house and looking at
the figures thcre.
What I tried to Impress upon voters
was the fact that Sam McClay received
each year a salary of -',500 and a rake
off of $4,000 or $5,000 more. I tried
hard to explain it satisfactorily. If
Mr. Hoaglaid thinks I failed) to do it,
then I will add a few more figures
which are very interesting to say tho
least. To begin wi.h I will say that tiie
law allows the bheiiff $2,500, deputy
$900, two assistants $700 each ; total for
tho year $-1,800. All fees in excess of
this, McClay is presumed to cover iuto
the treasury. It is generally believed
in Lancaster county that McClay is the
first sheriff who ever paid excess fees
into the troasury. The fact of the mat
ter is that neither be nor any of his
predecessors ever paid a penny into the
treasury. There is not a scratch on
the books that indicates any suck a
thing. The men who started this
canard did it knowing it was a lie of the
first water and to boom Sim McClay
for re-cloctlon.
But before I began on what consti
tutes a " rake off" or the " perquisites"
of the office I want to ask aa explana
tlon of the following: Mr, McChy's ro--oi'ts
to the county clerk I find these
items:
June 20, 1890. bnllltr fes for H. V. H.
V. W. H., U. MIT.. i. ... Jo uu
Nov. 15, Hal II IT i MoKarland tad Hoxle,
Sept. trra 144 00

Balllttn fees Sept. term 14 00
Attendant at Nov. term Ht dajl 74 08
June ao, lttVl, Keb. term, attendance.. SbO 00
I always thought tho county paid
enough to the sheriff and deputies in
the way of salaries, mentioned, instead
of letting the sheriff bleed the county to
the tune of $1,081 in a year and a half
for attendance on court for self and
wo and sometimes three bailiff i. Look
over the initials of above bailiffs and
see how they fit on the names of
Henry V. Hoagland, C. W. lloxie and
Graut McFarland. Now these nieii
never gat a penny of the above fees.
Sam MoClay pocketed it all. Whoever
saw him attending oa court? He has
been an invalid for a long while and he
hardly ever goes inside the court room
proper. Tho fact of the case is, that
Hoagland attends the court. The
sheriff and other deputies go in and out
to get papers, but they are paid for this
in wav of fees, mileaire. etc. The
judges each appoiut a bailiff to attend
court and they are paid enrecuy, anu
not through the sheriff's office. Don't
get these mixed up. The sheriffs proper
get paid on their own individual ac
counts and then McClay has been
charging for all his men $2 a day for
atteudauce on court. L wit J une he had
a bill for two bailiffs 118 days each at
$2 a day, total 4?2, and the county
commissioners refused to pay it. These
fraudulent claims have boeu presented
and paid in Lancaster couuty always
before and they have robbed tho county
of thousands of dollars.
Now let us figure up some of the
sheriff's "perquisites" to the office or
"rake offs" as some stylo them.
In the first place he gets about $1,000
a year as fees in foreigu business. He
never makes an accounting of this.
You cannot find how much or how lit
tle this is upon the county records. It
can only be approximated and one
thousand dollars a year is a fair esti
mate. Next let us look at tho "rake off"
from the jail department and seo how a
sheriff can grow rich and toil not, and
neither does he spin, but sub-.et con
tracts. His bills for tho first six months of
this year are as follows:
Mnrch'3 $ 577 M
May ' 7o
July 1 "1 11
September 1 5'JO 05
Total for 1881... t2,4U4 05
This is the total for this year for
feeding prisoners, jailor fees and gunrd
fees. There are other expense accounts,
but they are, no doubt, all right. But
let us look over tho jailor and guards'
fees, etc. In turning to McClay's ac
counts I find as follows for this year:
Jaii guard January 1 to March 1 t 177 (10
JhII piiard JanuHry 19 to January 30... Id M
Jailor tor January 1 to .March 1 8H GO
tailor for March 1 to April n VI hi
Jail guards March 1 to April 30 IKS W)
Jail Kuards May 1 to June liil 1M0.I
Jailor lor May 1 to Juno 30 1 60
Total for Jailors in six months... $ f31 to
Mr. Langdon, the jailor, runs a livery
stable. Tho amount drawn for jail
guards looms up rather huge for the
necessity of such men around that jail.
It takes too much money for the work.
Will McClay explain to whom he paid
all this money and when?
These are your figures, Mr. McClay.
Now will you stand up and answer a
few pertinent questions?
1. Do vou not eet 85 cents a day from
the county for feeding county prisoners
and $1 a day from the state for feeding
state prisoners?
2. Does tho county not furnish your
jailor with a house, coal, light, etc., in
which to keep the prisoners?
3. Do you not pay the jailor $1.50 a
day out of couuty funds and then give
him 17 cents a day fur boarding pris
oners? 4 If so, do you not pocket as a
"rake off" 18 cents a day on every
county prisoner in jail and 83 cents a
day on every state prisoner?
5 If so, how much a year do you
earn in this manner?
0. When you hire two guards at the
jail don't you dive them 8ii0 a month
each and b'uard? Yon pay the jailor
$10 a month for board, Thus it cost
you $80 for the two. You charge the
county Is not this $13 a "rake
vSi" When you use only one guard,
do vou not, pocket $53 a month?
This subject has gono so far, Mr.
MoCUy, tUt in (untie to you. I think
tl ought to tw (xululutHl to the pu'ilio.

pletely out of his claims of three weeks

with Mr. Hoagland is he tries to con

with the two special panels of May ?
