An eastern editor says that a man
in new York got himself into trouble by
marrying two wives. A western editor
replies that a good many men have done
the samo thing by marrying one. A
northern editor eays that quite a number
of hit) acquaintances found enough in
merely promising to marry and not going
any further. And an Oklahoma editor
ays a friend of his was bothered enough
when simply found in company with
another man's wife. Ex.
This is not a goed year to swap off an
old and tried officer like Frank Healy
for a man who though a "good fellow"
is an unknown quantity when it comes
to doing duty as sheriff of this county;
Healy had to learn aud a new man will
have to learn if elected. Frank has
gained his knowledge of how to conduct
tho affairs of the office by four years of
hard work and study ho is known to bo
all right and the oounty needs the ben-
cfit of his experience for another term
l'entonal matters should be cast aside ia
this instance for it is a cose wherein all
the people of the county are interested
Elswhcre in this issuo will be found
an open letter from J. I. Lovcllo in re-
gard tc J. T. Dunlap republican candi-
date for oommwaioocr in the first district.
1 he letter speaks for itself. The best
recommendation possible for a candidate
to possess is the fact that he stands well
in tho estimation of those who know him
best his immediate neighbors. We
have yet to hear the first word against
Mr. Dnnlap's ability integrity or litpess
for the office of county commissioner
and feel safe in recommending him to
the voters of the cast commissioner
district.
In this issuo of the Herald will be
found a communication signed "A
Voter." It is a warm article but tho
writer was present at the convention
roeBtioned aad probably knows what he
is talking about. Mass contentions in a
county as large as this one are uadoubt-
cJly trnfair and delegate ooavcntio&d are
tho proper thing but in ovcry instance
this year except ono tho timo has been
too limited for anything except a mass
meeting; and it was through no fault of
the county central committee Tbero
aro very few mass meetings nhero thcro
is not ono or moro slates in connection
but the author of this roar intimates that
thcro was something worse than a slato
in the convention referred to. And it
is only fair to say that this article by
"Voter" expresses tho sediment of a
number of people
Some six weeks ago Horaco Putman
wrote a short financial history of Beaver
county which was published in all three
of tho county papers Comment was
invited "Put" stating that ho was tired
of being roared at for no reason and he
would make a plain statement of the
facts and give the kickers a chanco to
provo their accusations. The only com
moot of any kind that we have hoard so
far was a short article in tho Hardesty
Herald in which Dick corrected Put's
flgures on tho cost of tho jail stating
that they wcro considerably lower than
what tho cell really cost. Put said the
cell cost 8487.00 laid down or rather
set up. Dick said It coat 8788.55. For
our own information wo have looked tho
matter up to seo who was right. On
page 119 of the Commissioners' Journal
we find tho contract for the cell the
price mentionod being $487.50. On
page 130 wo find that tho cell was paid
for a warrant for 8487.50 being drawn
for that purpose. Tho only question
now is which is tho most reliable Dick's
memory or the officul records ef tho
county commissioners? "Put" is waiting
for 6omo more comment on his history.
Who's next?
When Flynn spoke in Reaver City
recently prior to his arrival A. G. Cun
ninghara of Woodward addressed the
meeting and told them in glowing Ian.
guago that Flynn was suoh a very mod-
est fellow he would have to tell them of
Flynn's phenomenal record in congress.
When Flynn arrived one who war; pres-
ent says that Flynn talked nothing but
Flynn and that big "I" was all there
was to his speech. Woodward Star.
Comc'off the dump! Every man who
heard Flynn's speech here knows better
than that. Beaver county is going to
roll up a rousing majority for Flynn this
fall will do her part and more too
toward sending back to congress the best
roan who ever represented a territory
Tho people know Flynn he 's ono of
the people himself-and all the misstate
ments and falsehoods that the popocrat
papers can publish will not help tho
dominio out in this county. If Flynn
was a democrat ho would roll up a big
majority in this county. It's not the
politics so much as the man that we
consider in this caBO. Tho people ef
Beaver county are freo as air-they vote
for whom they choose and when two
men like Flynn and Callahan are before
them the ono a man who has shown by
the result of his labors what kind of
metal ho is mado of and tho other a
mere bag of wind a bundle of inconsist-
encies a man who descends from the
high piano of the pulpit to the level of
a common prevaricator and an awful
oommon ono at that tho people of this
county will not bo very long in making
a selection.
Near Anadarko in the Kiowa and.
Comanche country says tho Oklahoman
one of tho most remarkable celebrations
ever seen in this country took place lost
week. The occasion was the celebration
of the sixty-sixth anniversary of the in-
dependence of the Mexican rcpublie tho
entertainment being gotten up by tho
many Mexicans who live in the reserva-
tion. About 500 Mexicans were pres-
ent all dressed in the most gorgeous
fashion and participating in the exer-
cises with as much gusto and patriotism
as the moot loyal American small boy
could exhibit on tho glorious Fourth.
During the morning there were nine bull
fights the gladiators being all mounted
on horseback and fighting to the finish
of the bull every time. At noon
came a grand free barbecue and after
dioner there wero speeches. The orators
wero Mexicans American and Indian
each talking in a different language not
understood by those of the other national
ities but everybody applauded and
cheered all tho speeches. Several Indian
chiefs Bpoko in their native languages
and one essayed to talk in English.
Ho managed to get off a part of a freo
silver speech that he had heard recently
and was loudly chevied by the Mexicans.
State Capital.
A newspaper thut devotes most of its
space to making idiotic remarks about a
man in Utile 3 line locals is not consid-
ered of much force and its editor is
looked upon as a prejudiced chump who
allows his mean naturo to over rule
oommon sense. Such writings do not
appeal to the reasoning faculties and
intelligence of the populaoo nor arouse
projudioo as thoy aro intended. Thoy
do however create a pity in the breasts
of tho people to think that a fellow
creature will allow envy and malice to
causo him to uso ungontlemanly epithets
and resort to tho disparaging act of
lying thinking perhaps such assertions
will bo accepted as the truth. A man
whoso naturo is not totally depraved
would havo a better opinion of the intel-
ligence of our citizens therefore we
wish to suggest an appropriate motto to
thoso of tho craft who arc disgraoing
themselves and tho profession with the
hope that thoy will follow it and par-
tially retriovo their good name. That
motto is: "Thou shalt not lie." Wood-
ward Bulletin.
Vxnub Okla. Sept. 19 '96.
Ed. Herald: I feel it my duty to
speak a word in behalf of one of tho
Republican nominees for county com-
missioner Mr. J. T. Dunlap. There is
no better man in the county for that
office. Having known Mr. Dunlap for
tho past eight years I know him to be a
straightforward and honorable man in
every sense of the word. Mr. Dunlap
can be relied upon to do his full duty as
county commissioner. If tho county
expenses nan be reduced at all Mr.
Dunlap can be depended upon to- give
tho matter his full attention. He is not
a lover of wrong-doing and has tho
greatest contempt for those who aro.
The writer is not acquainted with the
other nominees but will say that if thny
aro as worthy to fill tho office as Mr.
Dunlap; the people of Beaver oauuty
need not fear to place-the county affairs
in their hands.
Very respectfully
J. I. Lovell.
i
The office of county commissioner is
not a very remunerative one but it is
tho most important office in thg county
as far as tho taxpayers are concerned.
It is a position that requires a great deal
of judgment and common sense and the
incumbent should bo a man who will
weigh each question carefully before
coming to a decision and who when he
docs docido on any point is not to be
turned asido by any individual interests.
Abuvo all a county commissioner should
be a man of strict integrity and unim-
peachable character ono who has tho
confidence of tho people for in tho
hands of the thrco commissioners tho
business of tho county is placed. Just
such a man is Ira wilson the republican
candidate for commissioner in tho Bccond
district. Wilson is a man who com-
mands the respect and coufidenoe of all
his neighbors which in itself is a good
recommendation. Ho is a man who if
elected will consider both sides of a
question before coming to a decision and
will do what is best for the county re-
gardless of what individuals want. He
camo to what is now Beaver county in
1 S8G and has stayed right with it ever
sinco feasted and starved sometime)
raised good crops and sometimes raised
nothing. He is a good man for the
place and the voters in tho second diss
trict cannot do better than to cast their
ballots for him.
There is no doubt that ('apt. Tanne-
hill can and will qualify for the office tf
probate judge if he is elected. Tho law
which bars him has been declared un-
constitutional in Kansas and it can be
knocked out in this territory. The cap-
tain is undoubtedly tho man for the
position and should poll a heavy vote
should be elected by a good majority.
He has not had much experience as a
lawyer his work in that line being con-
fined to the defence of four men accused
ef murder in the palmy days before the
county had a name but he -con that
case. He was elected maysr of his
native town Perrysvillo Ohio for four
consecutive terms which goes to show
how he stood in the estimation of the
people there. He camo to this country
in I88G and the fact that he roughed
it through all the troublesome times be-
fore the county had any law and the un-
settled period immediately after the
opening without making any enemies is
good evidence that ho treats everybody
fairly and tries to do what is right. If
he is elected he will continue in that
same line no man will have causo to
csmplaiu that he was trotted unfairly io
TunuehiU's court and being a wll ed-
ucated man the records of the office
will bo in good bands. Sound judg
ment common sense and a disposition to
treat all men fairly are qualifications that
are more necessary for a probate judge
to possess than a deep knowledge of
law. and Taunchill possesses all these
qualifications. A vote for him will bo a
voto rightly cast and there need be no
fear about his being unablo to qualify.
A ROAR.
SltADB 0. T.Sept. 1M.I89G.
Whilo in attendance at tho mass con-
vention held in Beaver on the 17th
inst. wo noticed soino queer proceedings
which seemed very much out of place
among people who profess to belicvo in
the majority rule. Tho way in which
that convention was packed was n cau-
tion lo all right minded men to bowaro
how thoy vote this fall. It is possible
for parties to manipulate a convention
in tho interest of ono aspirant who may
get tho nomination but tho people may
fail to ratify their action when left to in
dividual vote. Wo attended tho county
convention at Beaver two years ago at
which timo "certain parties" wcro very
anxious and readv to-throw away all sec-
tional fcelinc and aniimositv and meet
the people on a platform of "repentance
reconciliation and justioo to all sections."
But subsequent events have proven that
it was only "talk for effect." Wo did
not more than half believe thorn then
and we now know that it was hypocrit-
ical deception.
We feel that wo have a right to con-
demn tho manner in which the campaign
has been handled in the territory as well
as in the county the congressional con-
vention coming off beforo tho regular
county convention and tho representa-
tive convention ooming after and tho
failure to elect tho representative dele-
gates at tho regular county convention
making tho calling of a mass meeting
necessary theroby working a great in-
justice to remote parts of tho county.
It is well known that some parts of the
county cannot attend conventions en
masse whilo parts or plaoes nearer can
do this allowing ample opportunity for
said parts or sections to boom their pel
regardless of all others which is nut
right where equal rights arc considered.
We recently made a trip to tho extreme
west cud and I think I know the senti.
ment of that part of tho county. If suoh
practices are to bo continued at will
then somebody uisy hear something
"drap" with an ominous thud. Now we
have only hinted at soroo matters that
might be bettered deeming n hint to
tho w.8o sufficient. A Voter
A Very Enjoyable Time.
Tho Liberal delegation that attended
the district reunion at Beaver City last
week are all enthusiastic over tho very
enjoyable time spent tbero. The weather
was anything but propitious for such an
occasion it being decidedly dump and
chilly most of the time but this did cot
seem to dampen tho ardor of tho citizens
and visitors who wero taking part in tho
general pleasures of the reunion. Excel
lent music was furnished daily by tho
U;aver Cornet Band composed of both
ladies and gontlcmen and by tho "Mar-
shall" Band of Englewood. Campfircs
wcro held each afternoon and evening
at which sessions the old soldiers enters
taincd one another and their friends with
interesting reminiscences of tho o'd war
days. At theso sessions tho audlcnco
was favored with nppiopriate vocal mu-
sio by tho Beaver Glee Club. On Friday
and Saturday afternoons very interesting
ball games wero played between tho
Beaver City nino and a "piuk-up" nine
from Liberal resulting it a score of 18
to 23 on Friday and 2G to 34 on Satur-
day in favor of Beaver eaeh day. Very
enjoyable dances were given each even-
ing at Linley's hall whero excellent
music and a good floor ruudo glud the
hearts or the devotees of ttie Terps't-
cborean art. At tint business meeting
of the district organization Meade county
was annexed to the district and it was
voted to hold tho next annual reunion at
the city of Meade. Nut only the mem
bers of the G. A. R but the citizens of
Beaver exerted themselves to make the
three days of tho reunion enjoyable to
all present and thoso who shared their
hospitality join in expressing themselves
well pleased with their success; -Cor.
