We arc credibly informed the dem
ocrats of Sheman county will soon an
nounce the date of theircoming coun
ty convention. And they propose the
populist end of the opposition to re
publicanism shall give Dame Democ
racy her say on who shall be who.
It is whispered out loud that our
populist friends have settled on Brer.
Brown, their editorial mouthpiece, to
head their ticket for representative.
After sitting down on Ills nomination
for tiie treasurship last fall, as they
did. they should make some amends.
To Our Patronsi
We have completed our line to Litch
tield and have a direct wire with no
subscribers on, but as we have to

he necessary for us to charge our

service at Litchtield until such time
as we have an exchange of our own.
Our county subscribers can get any
fanner in Sherman county, that is on
a line running into Litchtield by pay
ing 10 cents messenger service. Any

The Cohaty Attorneyship.
Ed. NoKTBlrtBSTEKN: Inasmuch as
there have been home misstatements
as to what was saW by Mr. Starr to
me in his office in regard to the can
didacy for county attorney, I have
been requested to give the actual
facts, which are as folioWV A short
time before I made a pubUcennounce
ment of my candidacy, I Ailed at
Mr. Starr’s office on professional busi
ness. Mr. Starr somewhat angrily
demanded of me whether I expected
to be a candidate for the office of,
county attorney. I informed him that
such was my expectation. He then
said that I had no right to be a can
didate, because the nomination had
been promised to him by Mr. I>edler
and Mr. Mellor. He also said that if
he did not receive the nomination,
there would be a split in the republi
can party in this county, and he
named two of his particular friends
who would not support me in case I
received the nomination, Mr. A. L.
Zimmerman and Mr. Oliver Dubry.
two gentlemen against whom I had
been opposed in a professional way
under employment by other persons.
I think Mr. Starr must be mistaken
as to the attitude of Mr. Mellor and
Mr. Pedler. I cannot believe that
those gentlemen would assume the
role of political bosses and dictate to
the convention who their nominee
should be. and I can hardly believe
that Mr. Starr's bosom friends can be
such disloyal republicans as he repre
sents them to be.
I wish emphatically to state that I
will not be the candidate of any fac
tion within the party, and if I cannot
be the candidate of the whole party,
I decline to be a candidate at all. it
was an unfortunate thing for the re
publican party in this county that
there was a split in the party last
fall, and I will not be the instrument
to perpetuate division in the ranks.
If there is to be any hard feeling be
tween Mr. Starr's friends and mine,
let the convention fix upon some
third man, upon whom all the party
can harmonize. I confess that I did
not regard Mr. Starr's attitude toward
my canaiaacy as very becoming on
his part. A man who had been a
lawyer for only a few years, and wlio
had not been diligently practicing his
profession during those few years, had
hardly the right to challenge one who
had been working hard at his profes
sion for a quarter of a century. And
a man who had lived in the county
for only a few years, and who has not
even a permanent home in the coun
ty could not with a good grace chal
lenge one who had made his home
here for more than 24 years. Mr.
Starr already holds the office of vil
lage attorney, and most men are con
tent to hold one office.
I have never been a candidate for
any county office during the 24 years
I have resided in this county." Mr.
Starr has been a standing candidate
for some office every year he lias been
in the county, and has actually re
ceived a nominarion from the repub
lican party for one office. I leave my
fellow citizens to judge how modest
his claims are.
I very much regret tliat Mr. Starr
has seen fit to assume an attitude of
personal hostility towards my oandi
dacy. So far as I am concerned, my
competition for the nomination will
be conducted in a friendly spirit and
in an open and straightforward way.
I am not a professional politician,
nor versed in the art of pulling the
wires. I believe in an open field and
no favors. The people of this county
have known my record for nearly "a
quarter of a century, and it would'be
useless for me to make any claims to
which I am not entitled. ' If I have
not deserved well at the hands of the
people, they will have the right to
turn me down. Respectfully sub
mitted, R. J. Nightingale.
