PAINTER Editor & Publisher 31 Oct 1890, Friday, Vol. IV - No. 12 Page One LOCAL LORE Fred Hawks will be our next sheriff. A. Hyatt says “Come in and see my goods. Frank Hoyt is now foreman in the HERALD office. Be sure and vote the straight republican ticket. Do not forget to bring in those sample sugar beets. Sid Flory has resigned his position with the B & M. B.F. Moore is making some improvements on his dwelling. W.E. Johnson went to Hastings, Nebraska Monday on business. M.D. Copp will be the next county commissioner and don’t you forget it. L. Tinkel stared the first of the week on a prospecting trip through the west. Miss Mabel Britt, of Hastings, is visiting with the family of Mrs. Adair in Holyoke. Rev. W.L. Bailey delivered an excellent sermon, Sunday evening, to a fair sized audience. Mrs. Dakan and her daughter returned Wednesday from a visit to friends in Nebraska. The NEWS shows the hand of some editorial help this week, for which the issue is none the better. Take the HERALD during the campaign if you wish to keep posted on the issues before the people. Arthur Adair and his mother returned from Omaha, where they had gone to lay in its final resting place the remains of his father. Whit Irwin returned this week from Augusta, Illinois where he was called by the sickness of his father. He reports his father some better, but not fully recovered. Miss Carrie Morris, Mt. Vernon, Ohio, is visiting with her aunt, Mrs. A. Hyatt and expects to remain in Holyoke through the winter. Captain S.D. Strayer, of Glenwood, Iowa, with his wife and daughter, is making a visit to his daughter, Mrs. T.D. Tipton, of this place. The Sunday School in west Holyoke has increased in numbers till they are crowded for room. This shows good work on the part of the workers in that school. ESTRAYED From my residence, one mile west of Holyoke, one sorrel, sucking, horse colt. I will pay finder for return of same. - J.V. Thornton Yes, Williams has about as much “sympathy” for the deer people as a wolf has for a lamb or a hawk of a dove which it is only waiting a chance to devour. Mr. Lorenzo Rowe, of Galesburg, Illinois, with his daughter Hattie, is making a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Ed Gillett. Mrs. Gillett’s sister expects to remain in Holyoke during the winter. George W. Currier, the “soft fingered money loaner” and democratic farmer’s candidate for the legislature, spent Saturday in Holyoke talking to and shaking hands with the farmers. He weeps great tears of sorrow over the wrongs and sufferings of the dear people, but the voters should remember that this is simply a part of the play. Williams in this week’s issue of the NEWS, by his indecent mud slinging at M.D. Copp, has earned for himself a reputation for dirty work, that was formerly monopolized by a paper no longer printed in Holyoke. Such uncalled for and indecent abuse will make many votes for Copp and he will be elected by a large majority. Rousing republican speeches were made by Hon. T.E. Wattres and Judge Pendleton, at the republican meeting, Thursday evening. Mr. Wattres handled the tariff question in a most happy and telling manner and Judge Pendleton told the voters why they should vote the straight republican ticket. Williams refers to the alliance and republican candidate for commissioner as “Straddler Copp,” and in the next breath says, “Be sure you have Curriers name on your ticket. But then, of course, Currier is not a “straddler.” He is the regular democratic candidate, standing on the democratic platform and the candidate of the alliance for votes only. Fred Hawks, the republican candidate for sheriff, is a man in every way well qualified for the office and a man who, if elected, will perform the duties of the office without fear or favor. No man in the county stands better among his neighbors and he is worthy the support of every voter in the county who is interested in the welfare of the county. He will receive a rousing big vote. Little Joe Painter says that he has heard that Leonard declines to run. Joe’s auricular appendages are of the “mulushybrid” variety, and not reliable - NEWS We are certainly most thankful that we are no nearer related to Williams than this similarity of ears. He is noted for his braying qualities of which this issue of his paper is a sample. Saturday and Sunday, November 8 and 9 there will be a Sunday school convention held at the M.E. church in Holyoke. The convention will open on Saturday at 10 o’clock, a.m. mountain time. Mr. L.B. Self, the secretary of the State Sunday School Association, will be present and have charge of the exercises. All are invited to attend and come prepared to take part in the exercises, that the convention may be made a success. G.R. Ellis took the west bound train Thursday morning on a prospecting trip to look for another location for business. George has, by his uniformly courteous treatment of all and his strict honesty in all business transactions, made many warm friends in Holyoke. In his departure, the town has lost one of its most reliable and trustworthy business men. His many friends here will be glad to hear of his success in his new location. Williams says that Leonard has not withdrawn from the race. Our authority for the statement we made was the word of a good democrat who said he had read a letter from Mark Leonard to the democratic committee declining the nomination and refusing to be a candidate. No doubt Mr. Leonard has changed his mind since writing that letter as, of course, the democratic party whip has been cracked over his head a few times. Mr. Currier, the democratic candidate for representative, talked to about fifty people at the meeting, Saturday night. He tried to impress upon his hearers the fact that he was a greenbacker from away back. He failed to tell us just how he expected to better the farmer’s condition and he also evidently forgot to tell us what he knows about loaning money to the farmers and taking mortgages on their farms. That is the kind of farming he does. How the times do change. Only a few short weeks have flown since the political fossil, who now sits on the funeral pyre of the democratic party of Phillips County, could not find words sufficiently strong to express his admiration for our county commissioner J.C. Elder. But a change has taken place and this week Williams turns the mud guns of the NEWS upon Mr. Elder. It may be that Mr. Elder has said something to this “democratic reformer” about his bill for election notice. The HERALD has no hand in this fight further than to say, that, as between man and man, the record of J.C. Elder will bear the light of day, when that of the man, who makes this attack, must be hid under a bushel. Williams says he printed the land notices for $5, but that the people were more able to pay then than now and that if he could print them now, he would do it for less money out of “sympathy” for the people. Great Caesar! Does Williams sympathize with the people? He certainly has a queer way of showing it, by charging them double rates for public work. When Williams was getting $5 for printing land notices, any republican paper in Holyoke would willingly have printed them for $2.50 because there were ten times as many as now and the paper business was paying better than now. Williams knows there is no danger of his getting a chance to print the notices and hence, his “great sympathy” for the dear people. BEACHVILLE The hunter’s moon. P.J. Peters came home from Oakes, Colorado, where he has been at work the past summer. John P. Nelson who left for Grand Island, Nebraska is reported seriously ill at that place. Ed Wilson came home from Denver last Saturday. The following ticket was placed in nomination in precinct three on last Tuesday. For justice of peace, Charles R. Peter. For constable (long term) C.C. Haynes; (short term) N.S. Fisher and for road overseer, George Featherby. Frank Wanamaker of Lamar was visiting F. Sprague last Tuesday. John Green is preparing to plaster his new house. - OLD MISERY M.D. Copp was nominated as county commissioner by the independent convention and endorsed the platform on which he was nominated. When the republican convention met, the delegates believing Mr. Copp to be a man in every way well fitted and qualified for the office, endorsed his nomination. At that convention a resolution was adopted requiring the candidates for county office to pledge themselves to a reduction in fees in case they were elected. It was suggested that Mr. Copp be sent for that the convention might know whether he would accept the nomination. When he appeared, this resolution was read to him and he accepted the nomination. Mr. Copp was not asked to endorse the republican platform. All this howl raised by the NEWS because Copp is on both tickets, is mere baby talk. Williams makes as much fuss over the question, as to how Copp stands upon the national issues, as we would expect, were he candidate for congress, instead of commissioner. Mr. Copp, if elected, will have nothing to do with making our national laws and the republicans and members of the alliance know him well enough to willingly trust him to help manage our county affairs.

Beware of democratic schemes and campaign lies between this and election day. The republican county ticket was nominated by the regular convention and was endorsed by the mass convention. There is no excuse for any scratching. Will the farmers vote for the kid glove, silk hat, money loaner of Greeley when a farmer, with the unquestioned honesty and ability of H.W. Twombly, is a candidate for the same office? We think not. Yes, of course Currier was forced to accept the nomination. It took the nomination of the democratic party, however, to convince him that he must run. This is a very old political scheme. If Mr. Currier did not want the office, why is he furnishing the democratic central committees with so much “filthy lucre.” Page Four NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION Land Office at Sterling, Colorado, October 27, 1890 Notice is hereby given that the following named settler has filed notice of his intention to make final proof in support of his claim, and that said proof will be made before the Clerk of the County Court of Phillips County, Colorado, at Holyoke, Colorado, on December 15, 1890 viz: GEORGE RIDDLE, D.S.
