The State of Kansas, Harper County. his trust through thick and thin. He has held the office one term and has done very important work for our people at a pecuniary loss to himself. By precedent he is entitled to a second term, and certainly, if a fearless performance of duty and staunch integrity would entitle him to support, he should have the vote of every Anthony man. The office is a particularly important one in case of a contest and when you go to vote be sure you make no mistake.

Vote for C. D. Bickford every time. Mr. Merrick deliberately stated that the tax rate in the county was over 6 per cent.

Lest Mr. Merrick did so ignorantly and that he may not repeat it, we give the official figures. County tax 1 per cent or 10 mills on the dollar: road tax 2 mills, In the first place he had no right to offer such a motion; in the second place it was an action without precedent, and, finally, it disorganized the caucus, left its members and the candidates unpledged, and virtually left the nominations in the hands of the solid Harper delegation. There are those charitable enough to believe he did it by agreement with the monanrels, and his action afterward, and liis frequent communication during the afternoon with Grove and his staff gave good ground for such an opinion. Those who would give their vote through sympathy to Geo.

Maffet should bear in mind that his parents are wealthy, that he is a single man and that he is not only able to support himself but has assisted in the support of a crowd of hangers on who are trading upon his crippled condition. His competitor Mr. Benedict is a farmer and good citizen a man of family has a wife and six children in a badly-crippled condition and not likely ever to be able for farm work again. Your sympathy will be worthily bestowed in casting a vote for him. T.

J. Lamunyon, the candidate for Treasurer on the Harper ticket is the man who as special constable came to Anthony and arrested Professor Harnest after dark on the night of the murder. He and his C. S. Lloyd, of Harper, was renominated, against Dr.

F. C. Hull, of Anthonv. Fourth. County Clerk.

Of the three candidates previously announced all were practically out of the race except Mr. Meigs. Mr. Hughes, of Ruella, was run by the Harper men. Mr.

Meigs received the nomination. He has been deputy during the present term, is quite competent, but has the faculty in large degree of mistrusting his best friends. Fifth. County Treasurer. Mr.

L. J. Rinehart, the present Treasurer and Rev. A. H.

Davis were put in nomination, the latter gentleman getting only twelve votes. Mr. Rinehart is one of the most substantial, careful, methodical business men in the county, and one, too, who has as many warm friends as any other one. Sixth. County Surveyor.

Total 39 1-2 mills or a little less than four per cent. It may be that through the tax shirking at Harper and the low assessment, their township tax has to be made higher than here or elsewhere.

Harper conducts its canvass for the county seat altogether on personal grownds. They offer no argument but depend on personal abuse. They have resorted to the courts and have been beaten there, and now charge them with corruption; Mr. Campbell even goes so far as to assert that the Supreme Court was in collusion with the Town Company. Their speeches are a constant exposure of their old sores and the lugging in of long since dead issues, while some of the statements made are so ridiculously absurd that an army mule would tnrn away his head in shame and disgust.

two deputies, together with Justice Appley, are the responsible parties for that man's life. He took him there and, instead of protecting him until he could have a trial, he participated in the quarrel which was raised with him. He with others was in Harmon's saloon at midnight, and when the fatal shot was heard he with others started straight to the stable where Harnest had been shot. As showing the spirit which had animated him previously it is positively asserted that after Prof. Harnest had closed his school at Harper he made partial arrangements to organize a NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.

He received seven out of the twenty-six votes in the caucus. When his name was offered, Mr. Grove asked the privilege of addressing the convention and made a touching appeal for the crippled boy, who had been so ruthlessly removed from the postof-fice appointment. The Harper delegations very appropriately honored him with their support, and, with the sympathizers from other delegations gave him the nomination.

Because it covers nearly twice the territory of any other township. Land Office at Wichita, Kansaa, October 24, 1879. Notice is hereby given that the foUowing named settler has filed notice of his intention to make final proof in support of his claim, and secure final entry thereof at the expiration of thirty days from the date of this notice, viz We should have said last week that Mr.

Glenn says he did not write for Mr. Watts, the "pill peddler" to come back. Mr. Watts says Mr. Glenn "sent" for him to come back.

Hear both sides and choose for yourselves.5 Turn out and vote. It has been a busy week. Somebody had to be beaten. Candidates are on the anxious seat. Don't be scared out of 3'our votes.

A few days more and the agony will be over. Anthony depends upon substantial inducements. A cause which depends alone upon quibbling is a feeble one. Anthony depends on law, Harper has always resorted to violence. Anthony helps to pay the taxes.

Harper deliberately shirks them. Every vote will count next Tues-daj Make it count on the right side. Some men keep a pledge and some don't. It's those who don't that make the trouble. Anthony has beaten Harper in every contest in the past and will do it again next Tuesday.

Sifcson's Republican, true to its instincts, places the Harper delegates first on the list. Harper speakers openly and publicly applaud the successful trickery of the "mongrels." Why? A man who is so suspicious as to go back upon his best friends is sometimes a loser by the operation. Harper would be pleased to disfranchise a portion of the Anthony vote. It can't do it by considerable. Anthony has capital to back it to make a good town, and a good market for the products of all this section.

Anthony will receive nearly or quite two-thirds of the vote for county seat next, Tuesday. Mark the prediction. Will you vote to make the county seat with a people who deliberately shirk upon you their due proportion of the taxes? A community which will condone and cover up a murder like that of Prof. Harnest is a pretty one to ask favors of the public. Anthony has treated the people of the county liberally.

Harper has gouged them in every way and by every means in its power. Harper, the town that belongs to the U. S. Government, and where no deed has ever been given for a single foot of ground stands a poor show for the county seat. We will cheerfully meet our Harper friends in argument, but in downright lying assertions we yield them the palm.

It can't be that they have any conscience at all. The mongrels thought they had something to jubilate over last Saturday night and the saloons did a lively business. We shall be better able to judgo of their success after next Tuesday. Mr. Metcalfe says that Sisson doesn't expect Harper to get the county seat, but that as soon as the election is over he will move down here and assume the leaders flip of the republican party.

Yum! Yum The whiskey men are fighting with all their might for Geo. Maffet, because they can use him. Give your votes for E. M. Benedict an honest man in a helpless condition and with a large family to support.

The mongrels claim Meigs, MafTet and Vickers as their candidates. They are welcome to them. Manet and Vickers were nominated by the Harper votes, which indicates where their strength lies. The election of Geo. Manet simply puts our county affairs in the hands of Grove, Shepard, Morgan, etal.

He has been a pliant tool in their hands and will continue to be. Will people trust their records and the validity of all their titles in such hands! Sisson knows. Brod-nix knows and lenu admits that there ie no chance for Harper to get the County Seat. Sisson is arranging to move to Anthony, and Campbell and Brodnix wid remove from the county as goon as the election is over.

It is far better to elect an open enemy and an honorable man than a traitor to his own people and to their every interest. Apply this where you think it properly belongs. We shall be accused of bolting the ticket nominated by the convention.

Look at the names of the men who went into the Harper convention all of them men who worked against Anthony before the convention, in the convention and since the convention. They were the men instrumental in nominating, with the aid of the Harper delegates, two of the candidates on our ticket. They acted under the same director and manager as the men who violated their pledges to stand by the caucus and voted for Maffet and Vickers. They have been anxious for a pretext all the week, and have acted in anticipation of one. They do not hesitate to say that Potter will run, but they offer the contemptible excuse that he never came before the convention neither was Benedict's name before the convention.

What means the riding together over the county of Potter and McPherson? What means the open offer of Mayor Holmes to bet a hundred dollars that Bickford will not be elected? It would be a jug handled arrangement that we shall not be a party to, that we must support the ticket while they quietly defeat the candidates most essential to us. Men of Harper county you who appreciate good government and low taxes, be careful about putting the power to control your property in the hands of those who have no property interest and pay no taxes.

Land Office at Wichita, Kansas October 18, 1879- that with It 6eems a singular fact in some respects a disappointment. From the outset it has been the purpose of the Central Committee to make a straightforward, openhanded campaign. Every step has been taken in the public view, and above board. In doing so we have, of course, placed ourselves to some disadvantage. The apportionment was made upon a uniform basis, as per population shown by the official census.

Every delegation, no matter how antagonistic its purpose, was admitted without question or objection. A full hearing was given to all. No member of the Town Company, against which so much is said, was represented in the convention, or by proxy, and the city of Anthony had but three out of the forty-five delegates. In the selection of the delegates at the primaries, unpledged, substantial men were chosen and it was believed that upon the main question, the location of the county seat, and in the nominations directly concerning it, they would fairly represent the people who sent them. We said at the outset that the result was in one sense a disappointment.

Through the schemes of certain candidates the harmony which should have characterized their action was in a measure disturbed, and in two or three cases the mongrel influence, aided by the solid eighteen votes of the northern tier of townships, was successful in naming their men. The purpose of the delegates favorable to Harper was, naturally, to make as weak a ticket as possible, and in this they received substantial aid from our non-taxpaying whisky interest. So far as the county seat is concerned this latter element claims to be entirely sound, and as they have had more success than they anticipated they willprobably vote "all right. At any rate there is no serious defection. It ill be noticed by our readers that Mr.

Campbell, chairman of the so-called "Original" Central Committee, was present and managed his delegation, elected under the call of our committee, and further that ours i3 the only regularly called, regularly apportioned and regularly elected convention held in the county. This is of no moment at present, but may be the near future. The candidates taken in the order named in the proclamation are: First. District Judge.
