Chairman Barnett's Address.
"I am glad to see present so many o
you who were at the convention in Indi
uiiolu a year ago. I think the most o
you will remember that we had quite E
harmonious convention and that the
prospects of the candidates nominate !
there seemed very favorable. The nieni
bers of the central committee will re
member the enthusiastic committee
meeting held immediately at the clos
of the1 convention , at which the candi
dates were present. At this meeting th
campaign was outlined , ways were de
vised for a campaign fund and the conn
ty organization was perfected and put ii
running order. During the campaign
63 per cent of the fund was paid out fo
campaign purposes and after theelectioi
37 per cent was returned to those who
had subscribed it. Immediately afte
the election a statement was preparec
and sent to each member of the centra
committee , showing how the funds ha (
been used and the amount returned.
"Most of you know the position th
headquarters took in regard to the work
of the campaign. The most of this work
fell upon the secretary , Mr. Valentine
Were I likely to be connected in any
way with the campaigns of the future ii
Red Willow count } ' , I would always be
glad to have Mr. Valentine as secretary
He is a man ot lots of ability , great ac
tivity and fertility of thought. He is
capable of putting things into executioi
where I would not even think of them
He was exceptional ' honest and fair
all through the campaign , has the fac
ulty of getting others to work , and will :
the ability and energy \vith which he
handled the campaign last year the re
suits should have been better. Many *
night Mr Valentine and I worked unti
12 or i o'clock , with from two to six to
assist us , in getting out campaign matter
and in corresponding with the state cen
tral committee. Every committeemai
\\as frequently written to and the condi
tion of the campaign and the outlook
for the ticket in different parts of the
county were laid before them and the
candidates.
"The conmiitteemen as a whole were
veiy willing to do all the routine work ,
including work at the poles on election
day and throughout their precints , for
which there was no remuneration what
ever more than to reimburse them for
money actually paid out. They refused
to take anything for their services claim
ing they were willing to make such sac
rifices for the part } ' and the candidates.
On behalf of the headquarters I wish to
say their \vork was much appreciated
and I feel under obligations to many ol
them for courtesies shown me. As in
the instance of the secretary , their ef
forts should have been rewarded with
better results.
"But it isof the candidates and the re
suits that I wish to say a few words. All
the candidates were good men. None of
them were outclassed by their opponents
for the offices for which they were run
ning. As was staled in the campaign ,
our candidates were morally as good a
theirs. Onl } ' one word in regard to the
candidates on the Populist ticket : not
during all the campaign did one word
come from the headquarters against any
of their candidates. Personally their
whole ticket commanded my respect ,
but our ticket was fully as good , and the
other fellows and the lady were in the
wrong party for us I only have time
to take up one or two of our candidates.
Our candidate for treasurer was well lo
cated geographically , and as he was the
only candidate for that office at the time
of the convention , no voter , faction , or
locality could have been embittered at
his nomination. Long before the time
of the convention he was talked of by
prominent Republicans in all parts of
the county , and to my knowledge he
went to many of the leaders in the party
and discussed his candidacy.
"I do not fear being contradicted :
when I say he got assurance from all of
them that he was a satisfactory candi :
date , and in almost every instance their
support was pledged him. As chairman
of the central committee I had frequent
talks with Mr. Thompson and some of .
them were in a confidential way to quite :
an extent , and I want to say to you ,
jentlemen , to use an expression of the ,
reatest writer the world has yet known ,
no man on the ticket , or on any of the
tickets , or among us , "possesses more of
that ancient Roman honor" than he who
was our candidate for county treasurer. :
You know him , a man well along in
life , of meagre financial means , he went :
out before the convention and ascer
tained in a modest way what was
thought of his candidacy. After he was
nominated he made a thorough canvass
of every precinct in the county , putting
n about all his time , and with all true
republicans he made a favorable im- )
jression and made votes for the party
and himself. From a financial standpoint
:
point he could illy afford to take this
ime from his cares and work at home ,
nit he had been nominated by the Re-
mblican convention and in loyalty to it
ic felt it his duty to do all he could. :
"Let me leave this candidate a minute
o say a word about the candidate for
sheriff. The candidate for sheriff was
also well located geographically , and as
here was no candidate for any other of-
ice prominently before the convention s
from the east central part of the county
his location should have been counted C (
as-favorable. There were other candi- ei
eiIt
lates for this office , but their friends in It t
their localities expressed fears that they
did not possess strength enough to be
elected if nominated.
"In my judgment there was nothing
done at or before the convention to se
cure the nomination of our candidate for
sheriff that should have caused more
than temporary disappointment , and
that should have all been laid aside long
before the election. I was not much ac
quainted with Mr. McCool before his
nomination , but through the campaign I
canie in contact with him frequently.
His enemies will have to admit he was
an excellent campaigner , and I do not
know of a more honest , square straight
forward worker than he showed himself
to be last fall. lie had been sheriff of
this county once , and I believe every Re
publican who voted against him will ad
mit-to himself if not to you and me-that
he would have filled the office as good as
his opponent possibly can.
"Gentlemen , these remarks express
my honest opinion of the candidates on
our ticket last fall. Six weeks before
the election it became apparent to the
headquarters that there was being some
objection raised against the candidate
for sheriff. An occasional rumor was
heard of an effort in Willow Giove pre
cinct to beat this candidate , and later on
these rumors were connected with re
ports that an organized effort was on
foot that would be kept quiet until elec
tion time , and then it would be sprung
and surely defeat him. Prominent Re
publicans , it was stated , were connected
with this move some who had person
ally pledged him their suppoit , and it
was seen by the headquarters about one
week before the election that the resul s
of this effort were likely to h e this can
didate 100 votes inV511ov Grove pie-
ciuct. The results of this plan to defeat
the candidate for sheriff would crop out
in various ways One Republican heie
said"If we elect McCool he will appoint
a Catholic deputy"and he wasanswerei
by saying that was just what the Popt
list candidate did his first term. Oi i
Russian asked me if I was going to voti
the whole Republican ticket and I said I
was. He said he was all but the candi
date for sheriff , and when I asked bin
why he did not vote for him he said 01 e
one of the Republican leaders "say not. '
Another Republican said he would voi
against the candidate for sheriff becau
the Catholics in McCook were going ti
vote for him , although he admitted the }
all voted fur his opponent two years be
fore.
"Along before the convention it wai
known by the headquarters that in flu
ence.- , from outside the county were be
ing used to elect the Populist candidate
for treasurer. Prominent Republican :
who had been favorable to the Republi
can nominee were seen to lose interest ii
his election , and it was known that i
was desirable to some corporation inter
es's ' that the incumbent of the count }
treasurer's office be reelected , and Ilia
brings to mind a remark during the
campaign of a prominent Republicai
who said not many understood the iutri
cacies of corporation politics ; and righl
here let me say that I was forcibly reminded -
minded several times during the cam
paign of their ways , and they are touph
"Another thing sprang up against the
candidate for treasurer , and that was the
statement that certain religious organi
sations would lose by the treasury in
cumbent being defeated and moving
iway from town. And then sprang up
"Methodist Republicans , " and as this
sentiment enlarged it spread to others
and finally we had what \vere facetiously
called "Methodist-Congregational Re
publicans. " Let me say right here to my
Republican friends , don't you ever think V
you can get to heaven by going back on \
the Republican party. Don't you ever I
think you will get a white robe and a 1
harp , or even see the pearly gates , by
claiming to be a Republican aud voting
igainst a niau like Thompson. Xo
hurch or any other organization makes
Dr should make such demands of a voter
hat it is necessary for him to go back on
lis political party.
i
"The oppositiou of last year came
Tom xvithin the party rather than from
.he Populists , and I wonder how long :
he country precincts , the committee-
nen for instance , will do the routine :
vork of the party , when the ticket , or at
east the candidates for the best offices , :
s defeated every time , first in one town
jreciuct and then in another. We had
Miough votes in our party to elect our
andidates , but Republican history in )
X.ed Willow count } ' seemed bound to re-
eat itself.
)
' 'The headquarters knew of these deals
md some pressure was brought to bear
o head them off , but some of the leaders
vere in them aud others would not do . ,
mything against them. Thus our cau- >
lidates were defeated. While I lay the
lame to Willow Grove precinct for the
esult , last year , the official vote of the
ouuty for a number of years back will >
how that some other precincts have
exed the central committee just as
uuch in the past as this did last year.
thus , I say , have the Republican
audidates been defeated , and had [
Shakespeare lived in Red Willow couu-
y , instead of writing the few lines about
he poor player , I think he would have [
aid , 'Like the poor candidate , who
truts his hour before election and then
seen no more. '
"Compared to these conditions in our
ouuty , what a contrast are the stirring
vents of the national administration ,
makes me sick to think that through
such factions and work in our party in
this state , and the dishonesty of some of
our state officials , we are placed in the
column for Bryanisui and the free silver
craze. While we have enough Republi
can votes we continue to send Populist
representatives to the legislature , and
help to elect Populist state officers.
Thus we help the "Pops" while our
brave boys jumped at the opportunity to
do deeds of heroism for humanity , and
today many of them are in the grasp of
the yellow fever on the hills of Santiago ,
while others some from our own town
are on the other side of the world in
the strange tropical country of the Phil
ippines.
"Plow we realize the difference be
tween the two presidential candidates of
two years ago when we think of the
brilliant executive ability of President
McKinley and the success that has at
tended his management of the war ; and
when , at the close of his second term , he
will take his place with Washington and
Lincoln , and at the next World's Fair ,
by the side of the Ohio building , on the
monument with the statues of Garfield
and the other four prominent and illus
trious sons of that state will be the fig
ure of Win. McKinley , while overhead
will be the Goddess of Liberty with the
inscription underneath , 'These Are My
Jewels. '
"Being the chairman of the central
committee seems like being in partner
ship with the candidates , and going
back on a partner in a political way is
just tlie same to me as going back on a
business partner. Along with the lead-
eis in the party the committeemen
pledge their support to the ticket , and
when 1 look back at the frequency with j
which the candidates have been de
feated by factional strife and dissensions
in our own party , one year in one pre
cinct and the next in another , 10 con
tinue in this position makes it too risky
for a man who hopes for heaven. "
A Frightful Accident.
II. M. Clute was killed at his home ten
miles southwest of the city last Saturday
morning about 9 o'clock by being run over by
a heavy threshing machine.
Mr. Clute had gone to the shed with his
brother-in-law , C. II. Mudge , to take the machine - j
chine out for tlie day's work. The machine i
had been pulled into the shed with the back i
end facing outside. Mr. Clute took his heavy j
gray team of horses and double-trees and !
hitched on to the end of the separator to pull I
it out backwards while Mr. Mudge steered
with the tongue at the other end. The team
evidently got frightened at the rattling of the
chains and broke away from Mr. Clute , pull
ing him down under the wheels and started to
run. The wheels of the seven ton machine
passed over Mr. Chile's left leg and diagonal
ly across his breast. The horses bioke the
double-trees and got away.
Mr. Mudge in the meanwhile , seeing the inevitable -
evitable accident and thinking the machine
would run across the prostrate imn'sneckex-
ei ted a phenomenal strength to turn the ma
chine , so it would not run over Clute. In the
effort he braced himself with one foot against
a stump and in trying to pull the oak tongue , i t
3x5 inches , broke the tongue square otf and j -i
tore the stump off near the ground. IIisef- |
forts were , however , futile , and the wheels j *
passed completely over Mr. Chile's leg and i 1
breast as stated. ' g
No bones were broken and he was conscious c
until a few moments before death. A piece i
of the machinery pierced his breast causing | _
internal bleeding.
Mr.'Clute was picked up and taken into the
house and Dr. McGirr of Ellis , summoned.
Mr. Clute was still alive when Dr. McGirr ar
rived , but it was evident his injuries were fa
tal. Dr. McGirr sent for Dr. A. C. Bradley of
this city , for consultation. Dr. Bradley re
sponded promptly , but Mr. Clute was dead be
fore he reached there.
The deceased was well known in this city
and county as one of the most esteemed farmers - j
mers and upright men of the community. lie

\V. E. Mudge , and one child , survive him.
