POLITICAL POINTS.

Gossip of Men and Things Political, of a Local Nature.

I have a most profound contempt,generally, for the individual who, elected to a lucrative office, finds himself at the close of his term with no money and little property to show as the portion of his reward from the pecple. A prudent and conscientious man in office is to be admired, but an extravagant spendthrift never. Above all never put a bankrupt in office. A man who has failed to manage his own business is a poor specimen to be put in charge of other people's. We have several official wrecks in this county now, men who occupied responsible and promising positions at one time, but to-day are worthless in purse and some of them in character, The estimate is that one officer out of ten remains in better condition after coming out of office than when taking charge. A sad comment indeed!] [Office holdiog seems to make most^men 'lazy and useless the balance-of their livest One of the few men who have made politics a success in this locality is"Gen. M. D. Manson. He worked faithfully for many long years for the democracy, they rewarded him for it, and he has saved his money. He has been a member of congress, auditor of state, collector of revenue, an officer in the army, in all of which positions he saved his money, and has something to show for it. He has acted wise in this. Most persons similarly rewarded would conclude that their first duty was to buy fine blooded horses, speculate on the Chicago board of trade, and after a few years the tale would be told they would be paupers on their friends, to simply recount the glory of former days, and what might have been if they had done so and so. Manson will leave the proud inheritance of a good name and fortune to his family, and many other officials might have done the same had they have used sound sense in the hey-day of their prosperity. When I see the aged and venerable old General slowly plodding through the streets, my mind reverts to uihor days long past when his voice was raised in the interest of the party to which he has so long been de. votedly attached, of political battles won and lost, and the hope springs uppermost that he may live to ses many more, of the former, at least *,*

There is going to be some scrambling, I learn, among the democracy for the office of recorder. Under the new law, as the office requires but one deputy, it will pay better than any other in the county. It will be worth about 8100 per month clear to the incumbent after he pays his deputy. Munhall will probably go it alone for the republican nomination. Three persons, at least, via: J\!cKee, Voris and Wren, will, I understand, be candidates on the democratic ticket, although others may offer. I don't know that either of these three have ever sacrificed anything in particular for the party and they have no "cinch" on the nomination that I am aware of. McKee was a candidate in 1888, and made a creditable race. He attributed his defeat then to the want of finances. A man cannot make a race in this day and age without money. There are certain legitimate expenses that must be met, and unless McKee, if nominated, is not equipped to meet these I advise him to stay out. A canvass on sympathy for poverty or anything else will have little effect this year. It is business, not sentiment, that will be the most effectual. Either Voris or Wren, so far as I know, would make a good official if nominated, but as tho recorder's office is about all copy work anybody with average ability can till it. A question has arisen whether some men, talked of for office, would, if defeated, support the nominees. There has been in the past too much of this sneaking1 kind of backsliding. A man that cannot stand defeat should go out of politics altogether. If disappointed in the promises of his friends the fault is his own bad judgment, not the party's. The party owes him nothing, even if he had voted for and worked for it for a generation. An honorable conscientious man is a democrat, republican or prohibitionist, because he believes in their principles. The bestowal of favors fiom the party is an outside issue. 1 hate a whining dog who, going into a political race and is defeated, turns on his friends. Life itself is a constant battle for bread. Tho coward who fails to earn it after a time gives up in dispair and commits suicide. The brave man continues on and falls only when his breath loaves him. So

with the true democrat or republican if he fails to be rewarded as he probably thinks he should have been, he remains true to his principles and deserts not to his enemy. I am reminded somewhat in this connection of the dastardly treatment of Geo. Myers, poor farm keeper, a year ago by Michael Price, a county commissioner at that time. Price failed of re-election and was willing to revenge himself on any person or thing. The chance came when Myers sought to be again chosen for the place. He was a thorough going republican and a firstclass manager, but Price in spite of this voted for Goben, a democrat, because he was akin to another official of that name, and it gave him an opportunity to hit somebody. I know nothing of a believed "bargain and sale" in the matter, but

I do know the whole thing was intensified meanness. But alas, how the whirligig of time doth revolve! Price is laid out permanently on the shelf, and no political party will ever call him from retirement—and Goben will soon cease managing paupers. Let the whirligig continue to revolve.

Mr. Bible, tho present sheriff, will be I suppose, in the race this year for the re-nomination. During tne six months he has occupied the place he has, so far as observation goes, filled the position satisfactorily to the public. He and his deputies have lagged not, but have kept the business well in hand, and I see no objection in particular to the gentleman. He, like every other man occupying the office, has made some enemies. Whenever some chronic dead-beat or court house loafer fails to.got on the regular jury panel he at once commences to "cuss" the sheriff, laying his failure to him. Some of his enemies also claim that this or that man had been promised a deputyship. There is perhaps little in this also. It is much like the occasion after John L. Goben had first been elected auditor. The woods were full of fellows who alleged they had been promised deputyships under him, and hardly a township but had a representative who was to be under the auditor's pay. If many were called it is evident few were chosen. A candidate who makes

Such

promises, if there are any

such, acts very foolish. There is no necessity for it, besides it is undoubtedly contrary to law.

I have been informed that Alex. Harper would this year, if a primary system of nominating candidates were adopted, seek the nomination for sheriff. Mr Harper is a thorough gointr democrat, an upright citizen, and about the only man I can recall now of any of the sheriffs for twenty years past that had sense enough to save the earnings of his office, But I look upon this move as indiscreet. Ho should not hand up his plate so often. The party thinks he has been rewarded enough for' his services, four years, and he cannot, I think, under any circumstances whatever, again obtain it. There are young men coming up and middle iaged, too, that want some of the spoils. Mr. II. may Hatter himself that this or that democrat or republican would support him if nominated. Every man has his day, few have two, and my advice gratuitously given, is for the gentleman to think twice before plunging into the uncertain sea of office seeking.

I have heard some quiet intimations that Fred Bandel would again be willing to make the race on the republican ticket for sheriff. Although snowed under before by nearly 500 it was no worse than many others of his party received in 1800, and he is as strong to-day as any man I know of in the party. He has friends on the other side who like him. Ho is industrious, social and good natured, and all these are important elements in a candidate, you know.

E. H. Cox, who was principal deputy under McClaskey. will, it is said, again seek the nomination from tho party. He has good business qualifications and might make a good official if he could secure the office. He, it is understood, will seek the position through his soldier record, as he is prominent in G. A. R. circles. Now allow me to say that tho "old soldier1'racket is fast loosing its attraction, and if that alone is the solo qualification any candidate has to offer his chances are not tho most encouraging. They forget that anew generation of voters from 21 to 30 years has sprung.up in this country who ~are little for the past or any military glories that may have distinguished it. There is little in it to them. And the "old soldier" vote, it must be remembered is getting less and less very fast, and in another decade of itself will count but little. But enough now is as good as a feast., BLACKS ITO-'I').

Badly Needed.

BLOOD HAT PLOW.

GUTHRIE, O. T., Feb 10.—When the lot jumpers began work in the town of El Eeno Monday it was supposed it would be only one of the wild rushes for vacant lots characteristic of this country and would die out in a day. The situation has become very serious and it is feared there will be considerable loss of life.

Origin of the Trouble.

The city of El Reno, numbering about 3,000 people, was built upon land homesteaded by John Forman and sold by him to ex-Gov. Gliok, ex-United States Marshal Jones and a lot of other Kansas speculators who sold lots to the people. Secretary Noble decided Saturday that Forman's title was dulent canceled it, thus leaving body the town absolutely v-'.- •••!, title te property.

A Demand for Protection.

Gov. Seay received a telegram signed by fifteen leading citizens stating that they feared for their lives, that property was being destroyed, and as the sheriff refused to protect them they wanted him to call upon President Harrison for troops. The secretary of the interior has been notified of the condition of affairs, but no answer has yet been received. The mob has taken forcible possession of over 8100,000 worth of property and' already destroyed or damaged much of it The latest news from there is that there is likely to be a conflict and bloodshed at any hour.

IN HONOR OF TILDEN.

Democrats Gather at Denver— Brilliant Banquet of the Grcystone Club Held at the Broadway Theater—Gov. Boles the

Principal Orator. DENVER, Col., Feb. 10.—The Greystone club, the leading democratic organization in this city, gave a banquet at the Broadway theater Tuesday night in honor of the anniversary of the birth of Samuel J. Tilden. The theater was crowded

At the head of the table sat the president of the Greystone club, with Gov. Boies, of Iowa, and ex-Gov. Crittenden, of Missouri, in the places of honor upon either hand then ex-Gov. Adams, of Colorado Hon. J. D. O'Brien, of iS'ew Mexico Hon. David Obermeyer, of Kansas Hon. C. A. Clark, of Iowa Hon. Kobert J. Smith, ex-president of the Iroquois club, Chicago Hon: George \Y. Baker, ex-governor of Wyoming Hon. Caldwell Yeaman, of Colorado, and ex-Gov. J. B. Grant, of Colorado.

Alter the address of President McKinley, of the club, toasts were responded to as follows: "The West in Politics," ex-Gov. Adams, of Colorado "The Ladies," Hon. J. O'Brien, of this city "Missouri's Faithful," Gov. Crittenden, of Missouri Hon. Charles A. Clark, of Iowa, replied to the toast "The State of Iowa "Wyoming, Our Youngest Sister," was re plied to by Hon. George Baxter, ex-governor of Wyoming. lion. David Obermeyer answered the toast "Democracy Is Opposed to Issues." "The Colorado Democracy" was the subject upon which Hon. Caldwell Yeaman, of Colorado, spoke. Ex-Presi-dent Robert J. Smith, of Chicago, replied to the toast -'The Iroquois Club."

The event'of the evening was the reply to the "Democracy in 1892" ly Hon. Horace Boies, governor of Iowa. When Gov. Boies arose to speak he was greeted with deafening cheers and it was some time before he could proceed. Ex-President Cleveland, Senator Vest and Gov. Boyd, of Nebraska, sent letters of regret

Dyspepsia

Few people have suffered more severely from dyspepsia than Mr. E. A. McMalion, a well known grocer oi Staunton, Va. Ho says:

Before 1878 I was in excellent health, weighing over 200 pounds. In that year an ailment developed into acute dyspepsia, and soon was rcduecd to 1C" :0':nds, suffering burniag sensations in the stomach, palpitation of the heart, and Indigestion, «,uuid not iilccp, lost all heart in my work, had fits of melancholia, anC for days at a time I would have welcomed death. I bscame morose, sullen ai irritable, and for eight years life was a burden. 1 tried many physicians and many remedies. One day a workman employe" me suggested that I take a. •.

sia. I did so, and before taking the whole of a bottle I began to feel like anew man. The terrible pains to which I had been subjected, ceased, the palpitation of the heart subsided, my stomach became easier, nausea disappeared, and my entire system began to tone up. With returning strength came activity of mind and body. Before the fifth bottle was taken I had regained my former weight and natural condition. I am today well and I ascribe it to taking Hood's Sarsaparilla."
