The Haddam Politician from Haddam, Kansas • 3

The Clipper taMied 4th of July spec-hi last week. It was all home print and very ncwny. rocery. Rev. J.

H. Luse, president of the Kansas Conference, M. I', church, will make his official visit to Haddam circuit July 20th and 21st, 1889. IIo will preach at the M. P.

Ellinger's spent Swnday in Cuba with the family of Hen Simon, Mr. Ellinger's brother-in-law. Farmers are in oats harvest this week up to their necKs. liinillng twine seems to be in great demand and those who handle this commodity have no trouble in disposing of it. The defeat of prohibition in Pennsylvania has revived the resubmission question in Kansas again.

The Kansas City Time of Missouri seems to be the leader in the movement. E. Ilewit is having a good trade in the meat line, which is due to his genial, and accommodating turn and the further fact that he keeps good meat, sells it low and gives good weight. lie well merits the exclusive trade of the town. The race on the race course south of town between Thos.

Cornwell's gray mare and Jesse Bryon's black horse, iq the afternoon of the 4th of July result ed in a victory for Bryon. The race was for blood, and there was only about a length difference in the out come. The Clipper paid the firm of Ellinger Speier a just compliment last week by saying they were the wideawake merchants of this city. This fact has been conceeded, it seems, by all the other merchants of the town as they make no effort to lead in the way of catching the bulk of trade. Messrs Ellinger Speier have the goods, make the best prices and are selling more dollars worth each week than any other merchant in the city, may we judge from the number of customers which throng their store.

The Politician, contains several new announcements this week. There may not be as many as there are in our contemporary but they are all bonafide and ordered in the paper. We do not believe in putting candidate's an nouncements in our paper until fully authorized to do so, and for this reason we may not be able to present tbe num bcr that other sheets do. The Politi cian is run 011 strictly business princi pies and never attempts a bull doze scheme on any one not even if he is in as delicate a position to kick as a candidnte for office. People are fast finding out that when they want anything in the' hardware or implement line that they can do no better in selection or price in this conn ty than at the mammoth hardware es tablishment in this city of Chas.

Can 111 Several months ago he made prices on wire, nails and nearly all articles in the hardware line, whicli made the old dry bones of his slow-going competitors farely rattle and he goes right ahead as the leading hardwaremau in the county If you can't be suited in prices ami quality of goods at Canfil's there is no use to go elsewhere. The farmers will please remember that he has all kinds of the best makes of harvesters and mowers, hay rakes Also handles the best and cheapest twine in the county. The city council met oyer the bank last Monday night and allowed several bills present, Mnlter, Wilson andLei bel; also Mayor Taylor. Among the hills allowed was one presented by 011 r- self for publishing the treasurer's an nual report and was put in at legal rate. The bill was presented the first of April and the council thought it was pretty high and referred it to the com mittee on finance which called in the 6th councilman, Campbell who informed them that it was not correct and that instead of 1100 an inch which we charged, we should only be allowed 10 cents per line.

At ten cents per line we should have been allowed 6i30. But the econnmiccouncil still was not satisfied and by leaving out several dash lines got it down to whicli was allowed. At this same meeting a bill was presented by Buck Campbell for 99SOO for publishing ordinances. This bill was never referred to tbe committee on finance at all. The lines were never counted, but allowed with out examining its correctness at all.

But, then this was a small bill and we presume as hardly worth the trouble to count the lines or refer it to the committee on finance. We are satisfied with the amount we got; would have been perfectly satis fied with half the amount, and had told members of the council that we would he satisfied if they only allowed us 25 cents on the square, but the council wanted to pay or make it appear that tbey paid us legal rate, so they could pay Buck, the 6th councilman, full legal rate. Tbe question is whether the tax payers care or not. That's the ques tion. We would have only been too glad to publish the ordinances at 25 cents per inch and so would and the payment of a greater price than what tbey could have been published for is a wilful expenditure of the people's mon ey wiluout any excuse lor it.

me council may explain the matter the best they can. Their explanation so far is, v.s llieve. ih.it ther nre running the it i Ui'iMmIv's 1 AT R. Great Slaughter Sale. Previous To Inventory Will be made to close out these goods before our first semiannual inventory.

New Regulator. The Leading Cash, Dry Goods, Carpet Clothing, Boot and Shoe House In Washington County. :93 WASIIIXGTOX, KAKSAS. MAIN r.i Center. XT There hns never been an official elected In Washington county who lias giv en a greater degree of satisfaction than John E.

Pickard, the present county clerk, and be withdraws his claims on the office with the expiration of this year, 1889. John could have had the office again had he seen fit to ask for it we believe, and whatever may have been his cause for quitting the position "cold," it is an (indisputable fact that he holds a warm place in the hearts of his constituents. It is quietly whispered that J. Barley may conclude to again ask for the register's office this fall. Mr.

Bar ley has made a most efficient officr and acceptable man in this place; he has saved his money and put it to good use, having erected a fine residence out of his earninings in which to spend the remainder of his days in Washington county. He is an honest, christian gentleman, against whom not one derogatory word can be said and should he ask for the office a third time, would come as near getting it as the best man in the county. There is no law-prohibiting a man from holding this office as long as the people see fit to elect him thereto, and as the party has frequently in the past honored men with the third, fourth and fifth terms in office, could consistently confer the same honor upon Mr. Barley without establishing a precedent. The announcement of Geo.

W. Osborne appears in this issue of the Politician. Mr. Osborne is making a vigorous and honorable canvass for the position of sheriff and if selected by the convention as one of the ticket would be no dead wood to carry, but on the contrary be a live, influential support to the same. The Republican has this to say of his candidacy: Osborne is one of the prominent men of the county, hence he needs no intro duction to the reader.

His honesty, integrity and capability have never been questioned. He is an old citizen of the county and hits, we believe, never before asked for any office at the hands of the party for which be has so long and so faithfully labored. George was one of the boys who wore the blue and has as honorable a record as any of them can show. His candidacy will re ceive due and careful consideration at the hands of the convention. Washi ngton would not feel very bad to again see nis nonest smiling counte nance in her midst, and to number him as one of her permanent citizens.

Some of Besack's friends and soups are offering to bet that the Retjinter would be the county official paper neit year, ami that it would receive legal rates. This, we presume, is to be Bal-dy's reward for defending the commis sioners, we rather bet the KtpMi- tan has been compromised by a promise of the printing Clipper. There is no question but what the Republican would lay down its hand on a compromise. It commenced bucking to scare the commissioners and if we did not know that the commissioners had too much stamana to do such a thing, we would be inclined to think about as the Clipper does. As to Besack getting the printing as his reward for defending the com missioners, we presume that Buck gets that from the way he got the city print ing.

He got it at full legal rate, and the only thing which entitled him to it was that he got out on election day and grinned at the candidates, and glorified over their success. Since their election he has not uttered a word about the' poor dilapidated side walks which used to cause him so much agony. He is probably afraid Mayor Taylor will cuff his ears for him. Yet it might be that lie thought if he urged the council to repair the side walks there would be no money in the treasury to pay his hundred dollar bill for printing ordinances, which was good reasoning. It is generally understood that Levi Lower, of the third commissioner dis trict, is a candidate for re election as county commissioner.

It is generally conceeded that Mr. Lower has made a very attentive and pains-taking officer, always at his post and devoting his best energies and his good common sense to the best interests of the taxpayers of the county. It is generally conceeded that a county commissioner must serve 'an apprenticeship in con ducting the business of the county, and that when he has once obtained an bl ight into public affairs, he is far bet ter qualified than a new man to do tbe public intelligent service. It has been generally conceeded in this county that when a county officer has faithfully served the people one term and is will ing to give the county the benefit of his knowledge and experience for a second term, that the people ill accept his services. It is generally con ceeded that it does not pay any man to break up his ordinary business and de-votjHfimself for a single term to public duties; and it is further conceeded that the second term of an officer is much more valuable to the county and to the people than the first.

These beiiijfcou-ceeded facts, Levi Lower, who is now serving his first terra as county commissioner, having proved bis honesty, integrity and fitness for the place, should unhesitatingly and unauimous-h be it l.iitifii tu tue of required will be raised by the last of this month at the fartherest. The Commercial House fed over hundred people the 4th. Ray E. Chase was assistant landlord and handled the large crowd in excellent style. Dr.

Baker, of Lincol, the gen tleman who lectured at Blocker some weeks ago, will deliver three lectures here on the 7th, 8th and 9th of Aug, Subjects announced later. Miss Zadie Johnson, Miss Nellie Smith, Miss Maud Hollowell and Miss Haltie Lowe, all pleasant and enter taining young ladles of Washington spent the 4th in this city. Al Foreman of Greenleaf, and Ei Sharp of Washington, were in the city the 4th and took part in the band, Those two gentlemen are fine musicians and their valuable assistance was highly appreciated by all. Sam Varney, of Washington, is bill ed as a candidate for county clerk, Mr. Varney is well qualified to fill the position, is a consistent, everyday republican and would make an excellent county clerk.

This portion of Kansas has just har vested one of the heaviest crops of small grain for years, and we are lmv ing abundance of rain to make the lar gest corn crop Kansas ever had, which is saying a great deal. A persons who have carried from the M. E. church the gospel hymnals No. 5, are hereby requested to return them to the church or hand to Rev Perry.

These books are intended to be left in the church for the use of the congregation and not to be taken away. The dance at Swan's opera house the night of the 4th was one of those pleasant entertainments for which this amusement resort is famous. The dance was gotten up by Art Swan and mauaged by himself. Of course it was all that anyone could wish for, large crowd and lots of fun for all. Sam Hawk has bought back his har ness shop from Thos.

Cornwell and will be found at the old staud hereafter ready to supply the trade with every thing the people need, at hard time prices. When in need of repairs you should see Sam for good work and low prices. The autopsy held over the deceased son of M. Cox showed inflamatiou of the covering of the bowels, (peritomum attended witli the formation of matter. The trouble was not caused by any thing eaten.

Two consultations were held; the first was Green of Washing ton and Ochiltree of this city. The 2d was Green and Bradley of Washington, Tyler of Clifton, and Ochiltree, of this city. Mr. Richtick. who lives about 10 miles northeast of this city brought in a child to Dr.

Ochiltree to have a lump on its breast examined. It was discov ered that the lump was caused by fracture of the collar bone which had been produced ten days previous by fall from the ciib. The fracture was firmly united, showing tbe extreme rapidity of nature to repair the injury. Jesse Harrris, representing IIollo-way publishers of all kinds of books, of St. Louis expects to can vass Haddam and vicinity in a week or so with the "Story of the Wild West." ''Light in Darkness," "BeautL ful Story," "Living World," and many other books, all of which, are interest ing, enlightening and benificial in gen eral.

You should see him without fail if you desire a good book to spend your leisure moments with. It pains us to see the Haddam Poli tician get maa ana troto so aDout 1 brier item in our coiums. Jt or "a pa per without standing or influence," the icevuuiican seems to nave a woaeriui faculty of occasionally stiriug up the annuals. Washington liepuoitcan. The Politician does not get mad and froth so about a "brief item in our columns." It is because the Republi can has been making an unscrupulous and dirty war upon us ever since we took issue with it on the commissioner deal.

That is what stirred up the Politician's ire. The Republican hopeil to whip us into the traces after finding they could not coax us lu by feeding us on cheap John taffy like they did the Clipper. The Politician takes a stand for principle and cares but little whether it pleases the moguls of the Republican or not. If we cannot be handled by logic or pursu.usion, it is of no use to try to drive us. We suppose this is due to the mule blood in us as the RcptMican may be pleased to put it, but we are awful proud of it just the same, lor a paper without eiiuer standing, discretion or good sense the Republican takes the cake.

There was a large crowd at the 4th of July celebration in this city, and all who were present seemed to enjoy themselves. For the best sewing machines, organs and pianoes you should call on, or write to L. A. Munilis at Washington, Kansas. The Ksty organ and the Domestic sewing machine-are the best goods made.

They will give you the best returns for your money. Reube Vincent with his illumined countenance proved to be of great serv ice in searching the dark places for the lost child.

A Card of Thanks. we wish to express publicly our most sincere thanks to the many friends, who so kindly assisted us dur ing our great affliction. Mb. and Mrs. Madison Cox.

The American Circus which showed here on the celebration grounds the 4th gave good satisfaction and did quite well financially. At both day and evening performances they had all they could seat. At the day performance many had to stand up. Our friend Padgett has just finished a thousand or more of his celebrated and justly popular pass-books and will take a trip up in Nebraska during the present month for the purpose of intro ducing them. Jim has a good thing in these books, and we are glad to learn that he is having a good trade on thetxi.

Clipptr. The Pot and Clipper seem to have a great deal of sport over our buying a mess of beans down at Washington. Those beans were paid for boys, and we no doubt enjoyed them much more than a meal on the usual corn cake made from the coarsest meal taken in on a delinquent subset iptiou. Don't be offended because we did not invite you to lelp eat them. Died one mile south of Haddam, July 8d, 1889.
