This week the Times reaches an other mile post and starts upon the g'hb yeur of its usetu! career. It would be useless to deny that we have an honest pride in the past growth and | development of this journal, and its | | vast and constantly growing popu with the people of Bates | ® |county. We make every honest en- deavor to deserve the encouragement | | larity | we are constantly receiving trom our | many triends and patrons. In the fierce political contest the Times has passed through during the year just ended, we may and no doubt have ' those in a position to know. Boone township, the one referred to as not getting in her returns for three days, has never been questioned by Tr was verbally rumored that the vote was only thirty majority for Glazebrook betore the returns came in, such be-' | ing the case Mr. Burch would have } had tourteen majority in the county, { but the official returns, brought in by one of the republican judges, | showed Glazebrook to have rece:ved 45 majority, or just one majority in the county. Now the votes claimed | to have been thrown out in Homer | township on an irregularity in the} uttered many things which might have been best left unsaid, and which left a sting in the hearts of some. It this be true, we are sorry for it, tor itis our pure, ideal motive to build up and foster that harmony and good teeling which should exist, |not only in the same party, but amony all good citizens of the same town and county, If we have fallen far short ot this, we can but remem- |ber that it 1s human to err and God like to forgive. We can truth- fully say that, in entering upon this new year full ot bright promises, the Times no ill-will | against any other paper, | or taction, if any such exists, but has mankind. holds or gradge individual the best of teeling for all We make no promises that we do not think we can fulfill, but motto shail be in the future as im the | past.

Mr. Frank Eldridge returned this | morning from his wip to Butler. “O, no; notatall,” remarked Mr. | Blaine, turning bis back and walking | tapidly away. Those who saw the | incident were very greatiy surprised.

Mr. T. P. Carleton, ot Leesville, ! Among other things he says that papers have been served upon Glaze- brook, sheriff-elect_ (?) that his claims to the office will ve contested. Burch, the republican nominee, be- lieves himself to have been fairly elected and proposes that his oppu- nent shall prove to the contrary if he holds the office. Mr. Eldridge states that Mr. Burch has employed a cou- | ple ot well known attorneys ot Kan- | sas City,one ot Butler and one of Rich | Hill to prosecute the contest. The | reason for the contest 1s based upon the tact that one of the precincts held its returns three days and that then it had been changed fitteen votes | from the original count. This was known trom the fact that a copy of the tally sheets had been taken and when the returns were finally sent in the difference was discovered. The change of fifteervotes gave the dem | tomself a brave and competent offi cor who enjoys the tullest confidence othis superiors, and we think it! ime the papers cease to harass hin | and if they have a grievance strike at | the fountain head. Mr. Willis says that all the talk about his using the! ved waroing cards sent to him at th place for a joke is untrue, as be has told every one who asked him the tacts in regard to them, and that he “as misquoted by the Journal re- Ocratic nominee a majonty ot one. } Another reason is that eight votes ; Were cast for Burch without his ini- tial being attached and these were ‘thrown out.
