MIJIK POLITICAL BISTORT OF SHERMAN COUNTY Continued Irom last wi eU. Tbkino up this subject again ibis *v<ek we will follow ttie unfortunate a id deplorable results of tbe Sher man County Bank failure, by tbe immediate installment nf Mr. A, J. B. Faiibuirn in the treasurer's office who was appointed by tbe super visors to (ill out tbe unexpired term of Mr. Pearson. Pearson was then, and always lias been a life long democrat. But now with Mr. Fairbairn treas urer: W. H. Morris, clerk, J. S. Pedler Sheriff, Burns for Supt., for tbe first time, we bad practically a republican administration, al though some of these officers were elected on tbe so called ‘ Farmers and Tax payers” ticket. Vet their loyalty to tbe republican party out side of local matters has never been questioned. And who will say that these officers did not make a first class record, of course there was at that lime less than one third as much taxable property in Shetman county as there is now and eonse quently not half so much money to run the county od. and warrants bad to be issued to keep things going. But here wo will stop and more fu'.lv explain why it was that we hrd so little money with which to do business. First the bank failure reduced the amount of money on hand. Second, a very large portion of the real estate in Sherman county was, at that time the property of Uncle Sam, and therefore was not taxable. In after years people proved up on their homesteads and these lands became subject to tax ation. Some proving up had been lone before this, but the great rush of final proof business commenced with Mr. Morris’ term of office and continued for several years, and while E. H. Kittell was clerk, and the pop administration came into power soon after began the collect iou of taxes upon these lands. Again, the personal property of the county at that time was not, by more that half, so large as it is to-day. Hence, the resources for obtaining aaoney by taxation was not near so great, while the expenses of running the county was just as much, if no' more, than it is to day. There were even more officers, at that time un the old supervisior system to pa\ than there is now, and then there WR8 practically no end to the viewing, surveying and establishing of new roads and the building of budges in the various parts of the county. This being the facts it can be easily seen why it was necessary to register warrants, at times for payment in turn to keep business going. But who will say that the above mentioned officers did not quit them selves with honor to themselves and credit to the county. Mr. Morris turned over to the general fund of the county, exclusive of his salary over $:s,000 while four years in office and it was not long until the county was again in a good financial con dition. Now a step farther and we find Mr. C. E. Achenbacb, another republican in the tieai.urer’s office. In him we had one of the ablest SDd most efficient officers Sherman county has ever had. It was he who made an extra effort to collect, as far as possible, all back taxes, and when his term of office expired he was able to show up an offical statement of #2!),G58.00 net balance on hand with but a few out standing warrants. In fact the county officers bad been doing so well that in the campaigns before even the Times was whooping it up for the Grand Old Republican party, nnd Brown never ceased to give the farmers and the populist party par ticular fits until it became apparent that the pop9 were abuut to come in power, when he performed a I wonderful fete. With a double hack action flop and a wild whole olumn war whoop be denounced republicanism and landed right into the popocratic hot bed. Where he will go to next will be only a mat ter of time It was amusing to wit ness that flop. The one issue of bis paper was a tirade of abuse towards the leaders of the third party movement ami his very next issue lammed it to the republican party with a vengence The two ar ticles wire reproduced in the North western, side by sole, at the time and caused eonsitleranle comment. Well we are frank to acknowl edge that Mr. Brown has supported some very good men for cilice Mr. Kiltel], Mr. H Id. Hendrickson Air. Hein, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Minsbull and Air. Budura have all made very good records. But why have they? And what about Mr. 1'olski? the Peoples’ bank failure? the McAlpine bridge ueal? etc. Is it possible that any of the pop otti dais have gone wrong? We will answer these ques tions uext week.
