The ring gave no excuse for not endorsing the official record of Dr. Orear. Carroll can now sing that old fa- mihar song, “ob, so near and yet so far.” What is the name of the third party in Bates county? one please enlighten us. Will some Carrol! was anxious to feather his nest before the thing collapsed. He had it all arranged, fixed to be re- corder, but it didn’t work. Two years ago the slogan of the U.L party was “examine the rec ords”. Now they want to steer as far from that question as possible The ring didn’t have the decency to nominate its man by the requisite majority, but for fear that its plans might miscarry on the next ballot, declared him nominated when he lacked two of s majority. Bro. Carroll should not bolt his ticket because he did not get the nomination for recorder. He was fairly beaten at his own game and he shouldn’t squeal. Take your medicine, Carroll, and whoop it up for the whole ticket. —_—_———————_— The.clerk of the convention last Saturday announced that 66 votes were necessary toa choice. F. M. Staley received but’ 64, yet Pierce Hackett declared him nominated. Will some of our union labor friends tell us how such things can be? Carroll and the ring downed Dr. Retz for prosecuting attorney Satur- day, and in turn Dr. Betz downed Carroll when he stuck his head up for recorder, and on the 8th of No- vember Carroll and his ticket will feel the biade of that knife the doctor has up his sleeve. ——— Carroll isn’t a hog, Oh no! He doesn’t want everything in sight? He is a disinterested patriot who is laboring to give the loaves and fishes to the other boys—in a horn. He gobbles everything loose and rustles for more. He was after the plum Saturday, but got knocked out. New York, Sept. 8.—It seems like a parodox that a steamship loaded with disinfectants should be quaran- tined at this time,but there are now in the lower bay two vessels loaded with chloride of lime and carbolic cid which cannot reach New York to unload their cargoes because of the action of the health officer Dr. Jen- kins, in excluding them. In spite of the great McKinley tariff America is dependent upon effete Europe for its supply of chloride of lime and car- bolic acid, the two most effective agents in the campaign against chol era and the scare has increased the demand for the disinfectants from 20 to 100 per cent.

When he was first elected he bad his bond made out by the wrong parties. He was afterwards Thompson make him a new bond. the subservient tool they wished him to ba. It has al ways been customary to honor aman with a second term of atwo years office if he madea good cfficer. They renominated Herni and Hendrick son by acclamation. Hartsock is not only “turned down,” but the impli cation is placed upon him that something was wrong—tbat he did not make a good cfficer. It crops out that Staley was notified several weeks ago to come to Butler and meet with the “fixers.” He did so gad met in secret caucus with Car- rolland others. The ticket was then agreed upon. In only one in- stance did the slate miscarry. Car- roll had been slated for recorder. By refusing to nominate Dr. Betz for prosecuting attorney he brouglit de- feat upon himself, for that gentle downfall. Judge Miller was sacri ficed because he refused to violate his oath of office and make a perjur er of himself by sustaining Allison and the county clerk in their efforts to bring odium upon the fair names of Reeder and Catron avd make them out defaulters. One man said in our presence Saturday, while his name was befcre the convention for an important office, “I will not be nominated. No man caa be nomi- nated who does not stand in with Thompson.” The great triumvirate want men who will do their will) without a question. No indepen dent, self respecting man need apply. POPULISTS’ CONVENTION. The great(?) convention of the populists of Bates county was held here Saturday. The leaders had put forth every effort for weeks to get out the Jargest crowd pussible, in order to eclipse all the other party demonstrations in the county. There were a great many people in Butlr on that day. Women and children predominated. Still there werea large number of voters. About onr- third of the voters present were democrats and republicans who came to see the big demonstration. It is estimated that the populist voters present would not exceed 800. That is a yery larze estimate. It is also conceded that every popu list voter in the county who could possibly come was here. Those not here would not exceed 200. Then the popular vote in the county is 1, 000. That is what we have always claimed, that theic vote in the coun- ty is about 1,000. The republican ticket, if run in good faith, will get nearly twice that many. Cyclone Davis was present. It is said that he gained that sobriquet from the peculiar shape of his mouth. He gave them just the kind of a ka- rangue they wanted and earned his $100. They had a woman present who talked glibly of things she did not understand, and instructed the “lords of creation” how they should vote, and how to make themseives allrich by legislation. Atkeson’s cannon boomed dolefully three or four times during the day. The convention was called at one o'clock. It was presided over by Pierce Hackett, assisted by M. V. Carro!l. After considerable wrang- ling the following ticket was nomi- nated: Representative T. J. Hen drickson; recorder, J. H. Rayburn; presiding judge, S. C. Lamarr; treasurer, Chris Hirni; coroner, Dr. L. M. Wright; public administrator, H. H Wells; surveyor, T. S. Harper; judge north district, Ed. Wyatt; judge south district, M. R. Lisle; sheriff, F. M Staley.

S. Catron, ex-Treasurers of Bates coun- ty, to appear before the county court at the August adjourned term, to be held on September 5th, 1892, ty.” We do not believe that any sensi- ble man will doubt for a minute that the wording of that order by the clerk was intentional and meant to be used for political effect and to the detriment of those two gentle- men, Messrs. Reeder and Catron. We can hardly conceive that a clerk of a court of record would have the brazen effrontery to so pervert his records and after detection and ex- posure in open court and through the public prints, as Drysdale has been by Judge Reese, not offer a sing’e defense. Mr. Drysdale stands eon..cted of the most vontemptible crime possible for a man in his posi- tion i yet: » conmnit for political purposes »pe word has he offered the publie le bas ontraged as extenua- ting in the slightest degree.

After carefully ex amicing the report aud ail the books and papers bearing on the cxse the court found that the expert's report was wrong. Iastead of owing the county, it was foun] that the county owed each of these gentlemen, Mr. Ree ler something over $40 and Mr. Catron over $290. This was the ucticn of the court, but nothing apvears of record.ro far,but we are s: d that the next term! court the judges will ses that a proper order showing the true status of this case is entered on the record. Thus has this whole investigation reacted upon the heads of those who determined to tind something, whether there was any- thing to find or not. The Situation in tudiana.

Of the four so-called doubtful states Indi- ana is, so to speak, the most doubt- ful. New Jersey is not really doubt- ful at all, but is almost as sure for the democrats as are any of the southern states. Connecticut, too, is reasonably certain to go democrat- ic. In New York and Indiana, how ever, nobody can make any forecast at any time which is worthy of much confidence. There is always the greatest uncertainty in each until the last ballot is counted. Generally, though, in presidential years the re- publicans are rather more hopeful and the democrats less hopeful of securing New York than Indiana. Harrison’s plurality iu the latter state was only 2348 in 1888, and this fact and the stories of republican disaffection which have recently been sent out through the country have led the party to believe that the Hoosier state was against them. —Globe Democrat. their petition and affidavit, alleging, among other things. that defendant, Alexander Guin esident of the State of missouri: Whereupon it is ordered by the clerk in vaca- tion that said defendant be notified by publi- cation that plaintiffs have commenced a suit azainet them in this court by petition and affi- davit, the gemeral nature and object of which is to obtain a decree of aaid court finding and declaring that acertain trust deed executed by u.
