ST When the Republicans were in pow- er in Bates county the Record, edited and published by 0. D. Austin then as now, had all the public printing, at full legal rate of one dollar per square, with liberal measurements allowed. The county clerk's records show that at one time he was allow- ed by the court seventeen hundred dollars ($1,700) for publishing ‘the delinquent list for which $150 or $200 would have been geod pay.

Until | MAJORITIES NOT REDUCED, Much has been said by Republican leaders about reducing the Demo ~ | cratic majority in Bates county. Let us see by a fair analysis of the vote > [ifthe facts justify sucha claim. We | willmake the comparison with the 1900 vote, although that was a presidential year and majorities in off years-are.never so large. The vote shows that the Republi cans got the full vote of the middle of the road Populists as they claim, ed: Supreme Judge 1900, Democrats, Supreme Judge 100, Rep, and Pop oe BBB .

The same condition is shown jin Judge DeAmmond’s vote and on the head of the county ticket.

The Commoner has this significant comment: “If you read that Mr. Bryan’s precinct went Republican by sixteen majority, just remember that Mr. Rooseveit’s precinct went Demo- cratic by thirty-one.” County Clerk Broaddus informs us that he certified up the full returns for this senatorial district to the Secretary of the State this week Hon.

The Adrian Journal reports the death of Uncle George Sears in that city Nov. 7, at thenge of 72 years and one day He was born in Saline county aud came to Bates with his parents in 1834.

The suit is brought torompel the defendant to reduce telephoue rentals in Kansas City to those fixed by ordinance of that city Smith’s fairness and ability, and came as a surprise to him. Considering the well-organized, coa- centrated and, in some places, vicious and disreputable fight made on T, K. Lisle, evidences of which are still coming: to light, it is somewhat re- markable that he had a majority at all. Mr. Lisle throughout the cam- paign carried himself in a manly, dignified manner, refusing to engage in the same kind of methods used against him, and thoroughly demons- trating to the public, that theclaims of his friends that he was a clean, sober and industrious citizen, were true, and his conduct of the office will be entirely satisfactory to the public.

A's sanity might well be questionad. The work of the Republican party is, and has been in all of its history, to destroy the Democratic party, the party of the people, as its very name signifies; and in this work Mr, Wix frankly says: “I will continue at al times to do all can” Who thatisa Democrat then, can take comfort in.the fact that he has helped Mr, Wix along in his work. Democrats were once required by a law of Republican enactment before they ould vote, hold office, sit on jury &e. to swear that they had nev- er given aid, comfort or encourage- ment to the rebellion.
