Judge Parkinson is being talked up by some of our neighboring ex changes of democratic religious pro clivities, tor Judge Gantt’s successor. It seems to be generally understood among the people that Judge Gantt will be in the held for congress this fall. The people of this district tried Judge Parkinson, not long since, in the capacity, of circuit judge, and we cun recommend him to our neighbors is his district as a jurist of consider- able ability, whose decisions on the bench were rendered in accordance with the law and testimony. We know of but one thing up against him, and that 18 his democracy. But that, we judge, was inherited from birth.—Appleton City Journal.

Theretore, as the testimony all comes from the party of ‘aw and order, God and morality, we are bound to accept it astrue So we will just put Captain Han- nahon the stand let him tell the story. Captain John W. Hannah you will please take the stand and tell the reporter what you know about the detective torce which has been occupying a room in your hotel tor more than a week. Capt. Hannah: ‘Well sir, [have nothing to hold back and will give you all the information I have. Reporter: ‘‘You will please tell me who rented the room trom you. what he said 1nd how you came to let him have it.”’ Hannah. ‘To begin with, Smith, one of the nightwatch came to me a short time age, (Ido not remember the exact date) and told me thev had just recieved a telegram trom Seda- ha that a gang of safe blowers had started from that city in a wagon, and that Butler was one of their objective points, and that it was their intention to tap Bernhardts’ jewelry store.”* | Rep. ‘Captain, atter Smith | had explained to you about the bur- Po | glars, what took place | Hannah. **Well, Smith went on to say that he had been down the | alley back of the hotel and that he | had picked out the room they want- ed, which is on the west side ot the | building in the third story,’”” | Rep. “Did you let him have the | room he wanted.

Hannah was verv indignant at Smith for taking advan- tage ot him and gave him a sound abusing. Captain Davidson, you will please come torward and take the stand. Captain, since the explosion ot the detective business at the Palace ho- tel, the reperter hears your name considerably mixed up in the affair, and has called to give you a chance to explain. Davidson: *‘Well, that is all right, and I have no explanations to make. Rep. Capr. tell me did you rent the room, at the hotel’. Davidson: **Yes.”” Rep: ‘‘How comes it that you got the nightwatch into it.”’ Davidson: ‘You see st I had gone to Capt. Hannah and told him I wanted the room, the first thing he would have said, 15, what do you want with it.

Lets see, Jones is a farm hand, he has been working out in the country as atarm hand. Has he ever had any experience as a policeman. No, he never has, he had to be lead around the atreet by Maranal Mor- gan and introduced to our business men. Nobody knew him. A nice man to employ as mghtwatch at $50 per mogth, when there were so many peor voters and tax payers in Butler, who would have been glad to have gotten the job. We have no doubt these voters will remember these good republican officers at the next election, if any of them should ever run again.
