In view of the fact that the republican party in convention assembled did not place any men before the 'people as the candidates of said party, we denounce any one attempting to run for any of fice in Sioux county, in the campaign of 1893, as republicans, as doing so without authority of the party and should not receive the support of republicans at the polls. M. J. O'CO.VNELL, Chairman Republican Co. Central Committee. The Citizens Ticket. During the. past week the petitions for the Citizens Ticket have been filed in the office of the county clerk, The names of the candidates were put on the peti tions after having been discussed by twenty-seven men, representing eight' precincts and the petitions as filed are signed by one hundred and twelve of the electors of Sioux county. That fact proves conclusively that they are not tbe candidates of any little ring or clique who desire to control them in their official capacity. Every man on tbe ticket is well worthy the support of any man. Each one of them is fully qualified to perform the duties of the olfice for which he is a candidate. There is not a man among them whose record will not bear inspec tion by all. They are men who are sup ported the most earnestly by those who know tbem best. At the bead of tins ticket appears the name of H. S. WOODRUFF, the nominee for county treasurer. He is a middle aged man, has a family and bag resided in Five Points precinct for tbe past four years. Be has resided in Nebraska for nine years and has been en gajfed in farming and stock raising. He lit man of good personal appearance and is thoroughly qualified for the posi tion. He has never been a candidate for office before and consented to enter the race only at the solicitation of his friends. He is a quiet, unassuming man aad those who have known him for year all vouch for him as a man of honor and integrity. Tbe next name on the ticket is H. J. BLEWETT, the candidate for county clerk. Bkiwett is quite well known to the Mr. peo- pie of Sioux county, having resided in Montrose precinct for tbe past seven yean. He came here a poor boy and baa had to work for all he has and bis sorjilus earning have been used to im prove bis land. His standing as a man aad a citiieo is equal to that of any resi- I of tbe county. He has tbe ability I education to amply fit bim for the I of connty clerk and the people Mf Nat assured that if that important i is entrusted to bis care every in to! wo county will dove proper iMt aUeetioa. No one need ten ia to vote for him. Tb third name on tbe ticket is that of A. B. DEW, tte eaaeVlets for then ft.

He L liad .jiu-.'i business, ex perience and is in every way ualib4 for the ol'ic of sheriff and tiiere is oo reason why he should not be earnest ly Kuplorted at the polls. On the ticket as candidate for county judge the name of O. J. OOWEY, of Cook precinct, appears. Mr. Gowey's home is so far from the county seat that be seldom gets bre. He and his torte have resided there for some years and are engaged in farming and stock-raising. He is a man of sterling integrity and good judgment and would perform the duties of the office of county judge in a fair, honest, and impartial manner. He was for years a resident of Seward coun ty where he enjoyed the conlldeace and respect of all who knew him. He has never been an ottice-seeker and is well deserving of the support of all. There is no more important position in the county than that of sujierintendeot of public instruction and for that cilice W. H. DAVIS, of Bowen precinct is the nomiuee. Mr. Davis has almost grown up in Sioux county. He is highly qualified for the olfice, as he holds a iirst grade certificate and lias had two years exnenre as principal of the schools of Harrison. He has been an active worker in the insti tutes of the county for years so tliat he is in touch with the school work of the county and will be able to handle the work of tlie office to the best interest of the taxpayers and the patrons of tbe schools, and the people of Sioux county will be advancing their own interests by electing W. H. Davis. S. L. ELLIS, of Warbonnet precinct, is the nominee for surveyor. He is a man of good edu cation and natural ability who ha re filled in Sioux county for some years. He will fill the oflice as well as any man who is not a trained engineer and knows enough about the business to fill the of fice to the satisfaction of ail. As a man bis standing is good and any one who supports him will have no reason to regret it. DR. J. E. FUIXNEY, of Bowen precinct, is the nominee fcr oroner and as there is no one against him his election is certain, and all will find him honest and capable. The people of the first commissioner district composed of Antelope, Five Points, Hat Creek, Montrose and War bonnet precincts have nominated FRANK TINKHAM, of Five Points precinct, as the Citizens candidate for county commissioner. It is needless to say a word about him to those who know him for he stands high with them. He is a man of honor and good business ability, who 1ms a mind of his own and would lie under the control of no one in his official acts. Any w ho do not know bim need not hesitate to vote for bim if they want the affairs of the county looked after in an lionest and intelligent manner. There yo"u have the men who compose the Citizens ticket. All are good men. All are honest men. All are roen quali fied to fill the offices for which they have been nominated. Look the list over carefully. Investigate the men and their records and you will find that every one of them is worthy of the sup port of all honest men at tbe polls. Ringmaster Verity attempts to make a little capital by naming lot of county officers, protesting that he cannot control all of them. Ha will fool no one that way. The people know what ones obey the crack of bis whip. It was reported that a compromise on the silver question been agreed to and later that it had fallen through. It is quite evident that the matter will re main just where it is until after the election. The attempt of Ringma.ter Verity in the last issue of his ring organ to make people believed that there is no such thing as a court house ring managed by himself is quite amusing. He might have come nearer to fooling the people before he had his convention. The reports from nil over the state in dicate that the republican state ticket will be elected by a largely increased vote. Tbe men on the ticket are all able, clean and honest. Not one word has been said against one of them and many are the words of praise which are spoken of them. They should receive tbe full republican vote in Sioux county on Nevember 7th. Mr. Verity attempts to make oat that the "little fool" who runs The Jockral slandered Judge Barker in stating that he was a republican, and tries to mix up business and politic. Tbe treatment ac corded Judge Barker during the time the editor of tins paper has resided ia Sioox county has keen fully as coosisteot and honorable as bas that given bim by Mr. Verity, and Barker has never Med moe ey matters to influence the policy of this paper, f or months the editor of TBS Jonas AL advocated that Barber be do oatad by the repttbticaw aad be was almost as much snrpriata M wm Ring master Verity when be came before tbe lodepeadeat eeaveatioa aad said bs awe ia fall sympathy wit the priactpwj af that party. It si twtfif m aftespt by Vevtt to awM afcO. Rinemaater Verity's whip wa long eiHUi.'!i to control tt) couvtotiou and put up hi ticket, but will it reach Ifie voters on elec tion day ? We have felt it in our bones a'l along tlint -uit dire 4-;!;iniity ouUi overtake us 1 fre the caaipainn wis over, and sure enough -t has 1L Grammar Stew art k stumping the county. What have tlie people of iawes county doue tliat tliey siiould be made to suffer in this manner? Stewart may be laying the pipes for congress to suoveed Kem, but even that is a xor and inuflicnt ex cuse t'hadron Cili& n. Ringmaster Verity, ho is a very wise man, annouiiced that tolTee was to run the meeting whieli decided who hould be put on the C'itizetis ticket to oppose tlie ticket put tip by Verity ut his circus. As Coffee was oot in town on the day the petitions were gotten up Mr. Verity put in his pajr tliat Coffee's hired man was put on for clerk. Mr. Blewett in formed us on Saturday tliat lie had never woikexl for Coffee in his life. The near est he came to doing so being when he worked for F. W. Bartlett when lie ai running the 7 box L outfit in Wyoming, in which Coffee had an interest. Such a course is all that can be expected on the part of Riugmaster Verity. If the "little fool" who runs THE Journal said any such thing Mr. Verity would call him a liar. Tlie pop editor who played the part ot ringmaster at the convention of the tiarty which he is running this year, ap pears to take it very much to heart lie cause The Journal refers to E. G. Hough as a bolter because he insists on going before the people as a petition candidate for county treasurer under the title of republican, when tliat party made no nominations. The card of the chairman of the republican county cen tral committee which appears elsewhere in this issue shows the jiosi'-ion which he takes oo the point. As Mr. Verity is a very smart man he would do nothing without a reason and perlmps by a little effort the cause of his position may be found and in order to do that a little history may help along. In the sum mer of 1889 E. G. Hough came to Sioux county and made pre-emption filing and later in the season his family ar rived. At the election of 1889 he ran for county judge and was defeated the worst of any man on the ticket. About a year after that he got himself ap pointed postmaster at Harrison. He proved up on his claim and before he had become a legal resident of the vil lage he got himself appointed as one of the village trustees. In 18Q1 in order to have a linger in school matters he set up the pius and had his wife elected a mem ber of tbe school board. In 18H2 while he still was postmaster, he w as a candi date for tlie legislature but failed to get the nomination. Mr. Verity, kuowing Hougti to lie a chronic office-seeker laid his plans to use him. A little smooth work by Ringmaster Verity accomplish ed what he desired and Mr. Hough was a red-hot candidate for county treasurer before he was out of the postollice. It was quite evident at the independent convention that Judge Barker's action did not suit Ringmaster Verity and he only allowed him to be nominated be cause be did not dare do otlierwise after having gone as far as he had. It is well known that Verity and his ring have no use for Barker. That has been prove o by the last three village elections and tlie ring does want some one it can han dle and everything indicates tliat if Ringmaster Verity can get matters ar ranged properly the outfit will desert Barker and throw its strength to Hough. That is why the editor of the Indt-peruleni is standing up for Mr. Hough and when the return come tbey will prove it. Most be Taxed. Tbe following is the report of the opin ion of tlie supreme court in tlie matter of the assessment of improvements on government land before final proof has been made. It will be remembered tliat the question came up at the meeting of the assessoi s in I8S1 and the opinion of the county attorney was asked. He said that in his opinion improvements should be assessed, but the assessors by vote decided not to list them. County Attorney Conley then decided to take tbe question to the supreme court and have it settled and the following is what appeared in the Lincoln Journal of October ltttb: " Btate ex rel Sioux County vs Tucker. Error from Sioux county. Reversed and remanded. Opinion by Commis sioner Irvine.
