The recent poll of the editors and chairmen of the county central com- sittees of the state by the Republic resulted in showing a large majority of those gentleman for Hon. A. M. Dockery for governor, and for a very early state convention. It might be wzood polities in our central commit. "tee when it meets on turday, to take the initiary in that matter and ali a-very early convention to send dlelegates to the state convention. We believe that nine-tenth of the dem- ~@erats in the county are Zfor Mr. Dockery, and this action would en- sable Bates to take the lead and be among the first to instruct for him. That gentleman would certainly ap- Previate such action. Albert O. Allen. chief clerk in State 4Anditer Seibert’s office, and candidate Be succeed that popular official, was he city last week looking after his f*anvass and in company with Judge Levy, made us a pleasant call. Capt. “Allen's long service as a clerk in this wffice has given him an insight into @he affairs of state, which would re- quire vears to acquire. This is one of the most important offices to the people in the state and Mr. Seibert apforms us that Capt. Allen is the best informed man in the state as to its workings. He knows the laws. daas the details of all the various de. Partments at his finger tips and the ‘business would move on without a Jar onder his control. He is one of She most genial, whole-souled of gen- tlevzen and it is always his pleasure te extend courtesies to those having ¥business with his office. He, too, was au the confederate service and fought Gor four years for what he deemed wasright. He is an untiring demo- «matic worker, and hasa large num- aber of friends in this county Shink his party and public sery ices is deserving of the recognition he seeks, ste nomination for State Auditor. who You own 160 acres, which is assessed at $1,280, you have personal prop- erty to the value of 0, a total assessed valuation of $1,780.

Besides, if this proposition is voted down, it will necessitace other elections for the which are expensive luxuries.as youall know. Therefore, from an economical standpoint, it would be the part of wisdom to vote this levy. This is nota Butler or Rich Hill enterprise, but one which belongs to the people of the county. They own the present beautiful and shady site in the center of Butler, which is the county seat, the geographical center of the county, and will remain so to the end of time. It is with the people to say whether they will vote this extremely low levy and build the court house, or let the matter drag for years to come at acontinuous ex- pense without permanent benefit. —____. tse is same purpose Linclon, Neb., Feb. 20.—The pop- ulist national convention is to be held at Sioux Falls, South Dakota May the 6th.
