Republican Thunder.
Tho editor of tho Allianco Guido
comes out thi3 week in a tirado
against the populiBt members of
tho county board, in their action
in letting tho contract for painting
and repairing tho court houso and
poor hoube. Tho Guide is doubt
less trying to mako a little Repub
lican thunder for the fall campaign
and although this paper is not out
in support of Populists, it desires
to see every ono fairly represented .
The true facts about this contract
aro that instead of the "two pops"
voting together, that Mr. Duncan
and Mr. Hollinrako awarded tho
contract to Piukcrton & Alexander,
Mr. Barry voting for A. Cornell,
an Allianco man. Tho contract
was lot Friday, while Mr. Duncan
was present, instead of Saturday,
as stated by tho Guide, in fact the
whole article is different from tho
facts in tho case, even to stretching
tho amount of tho contract 86.00
tho price being $890. It would
bo well for Mr. Parndis to havo
his ropresontive hero look thoso
things up for him,beforeho plung
es into half column mis-statement
of facts, about which ho knows
nothing.

Populist Convention,
The populists hold thoir conven
tion to oloct delegates to tho judi
cial and stato conventions, at tho
court houso last Wodnesday.
Tho convention was callod to or
der by G. W. Waisnor, who pro
ceeded to carry out tho order of
business as if a porniimcivtorian-v-
aKtitiosrhoci boon mado. Whiloho
was appointing committees, etc.,
Atty. Sullivan gontly suggested
that it would bo in order to havo a
committee on pormanont organiza
tion appointed. Tho ohairman
seemed somewhat dazed but final
ly got control of himself and ap
pointed Hazard, Britlon and
Dompsoy, on tho abovo committee.
Messrs Sullivan, Olds nnd Bullock
wore appointed a3 a committee on
credentials, and a recess was taken
uutil thoy had reported. Tho
committeo on permanent organiza
tion recommend that Jesso Wright
be olectcd chairman and G. M.
Sullivan Soc'y. Tho committee
on credentials found all tho pre
cincts represented with the excep
tion of JLako and rccommonucu
that Mr. Cavin and El Paynu who
wore prosent from that precinct bo
allowed to cast tho full precinct
vote which was adopted. At this
stage of tho proceedings Mr Wajs
ner who had been talking consid
erable sinco tho new organization
had been effected arose and began
to make a motion, and was called
to prdor by ono of the Dorsoy del
egation, on tho grounds that ho
was not a delegate in tho conven
tion. Mr. Waisnor was of the
opinion that any good independent
had a right to talk as long as ho
pleased. Tho chair ondorscd this
idoa, and then Clark Olds suggest
ed that all tho "yahoos" in tho
country might want to come in and
address tho convontion and asked
tho very portinent question of tho
chair, "if ho would allow them to
do so?" Tho chairman, with
frightened look at tho rigid coun
tenance of tho man who was still,
holding tho floor, with tho oxpecj
tation of making his speech, told
him ho wus out of order, and the
anxious audience breathed ensio.
Another amusing incident of tao
convention was when tho represen
tative from Lake precinct triedto
hand in his returns. Two of tho
"fixers" had tho old gontloman so
badly rattled that ho didn't know
whether ho was in church, or at a I
picnic.
Tho convontion then proceeded to
elect delegates to tho judicial con
vention as follows: W. M. Io
donco, A. S. Reed, M. D. Bullock,
El Payne, Albert Had ley, and G.
M. Sullivan.
Thoso elected to represent tho
county at tho stato convontion
wore, D. K. Spacht, Clark Olds,
S. B.Libby, E, L. Payne, G. W.
Waisnor and G. W. Erb.
Our Base Ball Reporter.
Tho Hemingford and Alliance
ball teams fought out another
game Tuesday, tho former winning
by a score of 20 to 21. In the fifth
inning Mollering hit Geo. Good
onough on his sore finger with tho
ball, somo one said "'smash him
with your bat," being angered by
the pain and feeling confident that
tho pitcher had purposely hit him,
ho thing tho bat into tho diamond
and although it did not go within
twenty foot of any player, the
crowd of "Yahoos" on the bleach
ers anxious for troublo swarmed
in upon tho diamond and for a
time it looked like tho Homingford
boys would bo passed through the
"pearly gato," cooler heads, how
over prevailed and the game pro
ceeded. Our boys had to play the
umpire as well as tho Allianco nine
Botzold showed tho most unblush
ing partiality all through tho gamo
and several times his own bide

rankest decisions but numberless

personal part about it. Now as
to the public part, or tho jpart
in which tho public is interested.
Mr. Hazard is County Surveyor
nnd Dr. Blackburn has filed a
bill against tho county for his
professional services. Now tho
quostion is has this bill boon filed
becauso Mr. Hazard is a pauper,
or bocauso ho is a populist oflir
oial, or becauso ho was injured
attending populist meetings.

going to bostow pensions on men
who got wounded fighting for ;
thoir cause, tho fact ought to bo
