Once oh a time, either before or
after W, li. Greene was made Judge,
Mr lireene ciime to Loup (Jitv to
deliver a speech, John Vaude
gr.ft was made ehuirinan of the ot>
ea»iun, H* introduced .Mr. Greene
as “our Judicial Judge.” Once a
gain Mi Greene in coming, wonder
if John will Introduce him as our
former Judicial Judge. Hu’s headed
for the legislature don’t yer see.
The people now know why it wat*
that Gov lloleoinh vetoed the hill
pawned by the stale legislature a few
years ago compelling the manufact
urers «d oluoiusrgeriue to color their
goods ptnk Mr. Ilolcomhevidently
wanted to show the people Ilia abili
ty to -s'e money for the state Hut
was it for the state, no, it is proven
beyond a doubt that it was to create
funds to pay his house rent of I’iJloO
per year. Mr lio|coiuh never ve

AN OPEN LETTER.
To .Jon* VANiuofiiirr,
.My Lear .John: — Wo won* not n
little surprised when wo learned that
you wore nominated for represcnta
live mol had knocked J. 'I Snyder
clean off the (JirOtins* tree, Ibd'nt
know before that ton had any as
peratiou* that way, lint it sectn* you
have and have plunged riyrht into the
thickest of the light without even
a topping to consider where von was
at or what kind of a fix those con
founded republican* were going to
get you into. Little you thought,
did you, that you would have to pit
again*! that old war horse Lewis
Beehihold whoso completely knock
cJ you out Iasi fill, the same fellow
who made you feel just as though
you hudn't been m it, who scooped
you by u large majority and then
Home, and who is now tilling the
same seat you uapjred to lill.
Well my dear John, history will
repeat itself, und ton will doubtless
have to suffer the same defeat, tin
same humiliation, the same feeling
of remorse. I am sorry but you
aught to have known better, we re
publicans did it once and we are
notie to good to do it again, hud you
not been so busty and so eager to gel
a pull a< the public crib and consult
ed us before the unfortunate occur
ence we could have saved you all
this trouble. But you would not
and so that would seem lo settle it.
The only advise we can offer now is |
to do as the man who vyus convinced
that he had udvaneed loo far, and
was about to get into great danger,
lie withdrew and thus saved his life.
Vou might save your political repuia
lion by withdrawing also, but you
won’t do it, will you John. No. you
argue just like ull pops, you didn't
knowingly get into danger and yon
won’t knowingly get out.
But say John, there are older
things to take into consideration,
tilings perhaps that you had lost
sight erf in your eagerness to become
a great man, but tin! public in their
culm deliberations are keeping tab
on. For instance they huvn't for
got that you were one of the Johns
who sent a representative, another
John to Kansas, after that ear of
aid which was equally disttilmled u
mong the several John's of your im
mediate neighborhood, and by the
way, .Johns who were as well fixed as
any one in the county. This car
was shipped direelly to the county
clerk, lteiu, so that the humblest tax
payer in the county would have to
help pay the freight on it, urn! Was
then turned over to the Johns, in
stead of being dell out as other aid
supplies, to those who needed it
worst.
There ure oilier things that I might
call lo mind but will defer them to
some future lime. Tours in haste

All efforts having failed to get the
