To Corernor Lewciliug. PleasantonObservcr. Deau Silt: You will confer a great fttVof Ott an anxious people by answering the following questions: What goott thing have you or your party done Kansas? Did you say in a speech at Marion recently that interest is robbery? IIow many farmers are holding state offices, either by election or appointment? Why did you order the members of the House of It-presentatives to leave their hall-last winter? Why did you call out the militia to fut the legal House of tiyes out of Representative hsll? Why did you appoint Mr. Artz to the office of Adjutant General when you knew lie was an escapeti criminal from Colorado? Why do you refuse to debate with Geo. L.

Douglas or E. W. Iloch upon the question of your eigb to drive the members out of Representative hall? Is it true that E. W. Iloch has offered to contribute $25 to the lopulist campaign fund for the privilege of baVfbg one debate with you on this subject Why did the Prison Trusty, published by Che convicts at inning, suddenly ehttnge from an independent to a populist journal upon the change of administration? Did you approve the act ot the Duns-more house which appointed a select Committee of three to prepare and have printed at public expense 2500 copies of the revised journal of that house to be uJedfor campaign purposes? These are civil questions to which we hope you will give civil answers.

Editorials From Observer. The Herald has failed to hoist the Top ticket. If the canrii kites are not careful they will be served as Mr. Gifford was two years ago. The Herald is trying to reform the reformers.

Tite Pops are not very enthusiastic fbr Dave Markley this time. Dave is too much a-chronic olllce seeker. lie tins been a candidate for ollice ever since he was old enough to vote. Dave is a back number. The Pops want the office to seek the man.

"IIoxest" John Hart loaned his team to some dishonest, disfeptable fellows two years ago to haul in a load of drunken Missourians to vote for him at the polls in this city. After they got them here some of them were so drunk that these reformers had to hold them up and help them swear in their yotes. We are glad the Australian Taw will not permit any such business this year. The secretary of the Populist county Central committee is making a malicious personal attack upon the Republican candidates by publishing lies about them and challenges the Republican papers to do the same with the Pop candidates. The Ousekveu.

for one, is loaded and can make it very unpleasant for several of the candidates on the other side. Wo dislike this kind of warfare but if the Herald IftSists we can make a stagger at it. We were told that John Hart went to a Republican a few days ago who ttas a neighbor friend and put his arm around his neck and poured the fbllowing story into his ear: You and have always been good friends atid used to be a- Republican just like you; Which is not a fact, as he was formerly a Greenbacker. I know that Tyson is a nice man and has made a good officer, but he is rich and dont seed any help from the county and I do. I am about btuted and if I could get the office of county treasurer for about four years I would be It has been reported that he blowed in his pile two years ago trying to get th office.

It is said the Herald got I251 of hh fortune, but none of Giffords. Now, please, wont you vote for me? Plesse do; I want to be elected so badly ont you Any Republican who will be led off by such silly stuff a3 this aught to have a guardian. How To Tote. Remember there will be no scratching under the new ballot law. If you dont Avant to vote for a man on your ticket leave the square to the left of his' name unmarked, and you have done the business.

There is no such thing either as making a cross at the head of your party ticket or opposite the first name, and having that count as a straightr vote for all the candidates upon it. You must pot your mark (X)- over against the name of every man for whom you want to vote, from district judge down to road overseer. Keep these two facts in mind and you will have little trouble in making out your ballot properly. The other regulations are mostly matters of detail on which the election- officers can set you right, Tbe marking ot the ballot Is the important thing, and on the right method of doing this every voter fbesld take pains to post himself. i.anid by J.

Our worthy contemporary, the Pleas- a anton Herald, in a lengthy article last week on the subject of morality and decency in politics, states that the our-n-al-Clarionr has received, or is to receive, a gift of $170 the county clerk, Mr. Jno. J. Hawkins, to be paid out of the pockets of the tax payers for imaginary work done for the county. The statement is couched in ambiguous terms calculate 1 to leave the impression that a crooked deal had been made to that amount money.

The Herald is noted for its candor and truthfulness at least for using as much of it as is necessary for the purpose and carefully avoiding any surplus that might teud to upset its theology. It is also noted far and wide for its interest in the welfare of the tax payers especially those who pay the taxes on the Heralds personal property. Knowing these characteristics of this reform organ we desire to ate the additional facts of the transaction between Mr. Hawkins and the Journal-Clarion, and to tag the real facts used by the Herald so they may be distinguished from ihe imaginary ones used as packing in its article. The Journal-Clarion, last January, received the award of the county printing in a competitive bid before the County Commissioners.

Our contract specifies the price to be received for each regular sized sheet of paper used for the use of the county during the life of that contract shall be ordered of the county printer. We tiled a bond of fifteen hundred dollars for the faithful fulfillment of that contract. Tbe new election law requires that the tickets be printed at the expense of the county and it is over the order for printing them that the Herald bases its charge. Our contract is with the County Commissioners and Mr. Hawkins has no choice in the matter.

He simply gives us the order as he does the order for any other printing for county. If there is an excessive price allowed the Commissioners alone are to blame. But the price is not excessive and were it not for the large number required could not be done without loss at the figures we receive. We have during the year turned out several jobs on the same sized sheet where the number ordered was so small as to make an actual loss to us on the cost of the job. To show the honor and honesty of this reform organ this matter it is necessary to further state that its editor, knowing all of the above facts went through the motion of making a bid on the ticket printing recently His bid was $1.50 per thousand while our contract calls for $1,00 a hundred.

In order to figure out the gift of $170 to us he then assumes that twenty thousand tickets will be required which, at his bid, will amount to $30 aud at $1.00 per hundred will amount to $200. Where he got his information as to the number required we do not know. All we know is that we have no order for any definite number and that none of the officers in charge of the work know yet until they examine the poll books for each presinct from last election, which has not yet been done. He then howls about the difference between the cost of his imaginary order at both rates. He has talked fiat money so long that every act of his active and massive imagination becomes real to him as soon as it assumes a tangible form that he can recognize as a dollar mark with figures near it.

To still further show his object in making this bid of one dollar and fifty-cents a thousand, we will state that after making a rough estimate of the numbea of tickets required we have ordered the paper and other materials necessary to do the work, and our expenses are as follows: Paper $21 00 Freight 1 35 Engraving Clerk's signature 3 00 Ballot signatures 6 00 Express 75 Total $32 10 There has not yet been a stroke of work performed and to print his imaginary number will require two pressmen seven days working eight hours a day to do the press-work alone. This does not yet include the labor of i e-setting the form for each presinct. The Herald man knew the job was already let and was included in tin-county printing contract, for lie was present when that contract was made. He knew Mr. Hawkins had no choice in the matter.

He knew it could not be done at his figure, lie d.d not expect to do it at that figure. lie put in that bid to give his imagination license to do a low, mean, dirty trick attack a mans character in an unjust way merely for campaign purposes. Tins reminds us of another attempt of this same organ to to help the tax payers (of the Herald) in the ratio of 16 to 1. Not many weeks after we received the contract for county printing we received a call from this patriot and he made a proposition about as follo.ws: Your county contract will bring you about $50000. At legal rates it would be about $1.500 00.

Now I have a plan by which I can kill off the Torch of Liberty and I have a pull on the County Commissioners so that if you will surrender your contract I can get the job at full legal rates. Then I will let you do the work and pay you half I get. This will give you better figures, and help out the Herald at the same time. Oh ye Gods What a How do the honest members of the Peoples party like that? At another time, in conversation with this reformer, the following dialogue ensued: Herald Man. I am in favor of letting the county printing at full legal rates.

Let all the papers in the couuty join in this plan then when we have populist commissioners the populist papers can get it and when republican commissioners the republican papers can get it Then let the paper that gets it divide up with all the others of its politics. Journal-Clarion Man. But I thought you were an antimonopolist and opposed to trusts and combines? H. M. So I am, but I believe in getting a fair price for my work.

M. Do you call it a fair price for work when you get. enough for a job that you can afford to divide up with half a dozen others merelv to keep then, still? II. M. Well, I am in favor of getting legal rates for county printing.

Returning to the charge that Ave had received an exhorbitant price fordoing county work or that we was receiving special favors of any kind or from any officer of the county on account of our politics, cr for any other reason, we deny the charge and will give fifty dollars in cash to any one who will furnish satisfactory or reasonable evidence to the contrary, or evidence that we have ever charged a single cent for public printing more than our contract price. Now put up your evidence or shut up your bazoo. LaCygne Jo-urnal-Clarion a the wedding of Miss Rosa Cheshier and Calaway Ilodge' last Sunday.
