I I I A gentleman informs lis that the Republicans recently polled Stafford county, and were very much surprised to find that only two out of six were Republicans and Democrats, and the rest Union Labor. A gentleman who has recently polled McPherson township says the various parties are proportioned as follows: Union Labor, 35, Democratic. 18; Republican, 12; Prohibition, doubtful, 6.

Quite a significant straw. John Oliphant is out in a card in which he says he knows "it is not true that Simpson secured his nomination by fraud." That do settle it. A few more such cracks "will make it all the harder for the Times to pull the old man through." Last Friday night the Republican club bore on high a transparency on which was inscribed the legend, "Scene in the Register office, accompanied by what was designed as a representation of Uncle Tom's late visit." They seem to glory in the shame of their candidate. From Our Opinion: "The Republican party in Pratt county is all demor alized because of a factional row over the nomination of T. E.

Simpson for representative. The Union Labor party- is united and enthusiastic, and will sweep the county by over 300 plu rality." I think there are enough truthful charges against Mr. Simpson to defeat him without the invention of false ones shall not support him because 1 KNOW HE DID NOT (JET HIS NOMINATION HONESTLY! Horace M.

Why this slight of vour old time friend and business part ner, Charlie? The Times gives a full and fair synopsis of Uncle Tom's speech at the rink. We invite the attention of the hypercritical Republican to a comparison of the scholastic acquirements of Uncle Tom with those of Mr. Snider, about whom Roscoe made so great an ado a short time ago because in a business note an error in orthography and pnnctnation occurred.
