SOME PERTINENT FACTS.
dust at present the democratic
voters of Independence county are
much interested in the gang-rule
tactics which developed at the re
cent meeting of the county central
committee. There has been, for
some time, a systematic effort on
the part of a certain clique, headed
by one J. 15. Gray, to fasten upon
the democratic party of the county
one of the worst frauds ever per
petrated on an unsuspecting public.
Mr. Gray has been a sworn ene
my to honesty from the very mo
ment that it was found that some
of his friends and kinsmen were
defeated in the primary, and since
that time he has left no stone un
turned in his endeavor to perpe
trate some kind of fraud. In fact,
“Fraud or bust" seems to have
been his motto, and that he has
lived up to it there is no plausible
room for doubt.
What amount Mr. Gray has re
ceived for his efforts in this direc
tion we are unable to say, but it is
an evident fact that he has been
well paid or that his retaining ca
pacity for corruptness is unlimit
ed and this, coupled with a hell
born desire to disrupt the demo
cratic party in his endeavor to
heap undeserved and uncalled for
humiliation on one of the county's
banner democratic townships, is at
the bottom of this affair
The idea seems to prevail with
this little clique that the control of
the central committee means the
control of the democratic party,
and that the democracy of Inde
pendence county is an organization
of the clique, by the clique for the
especial benefit of the clique and
it's favored friends. However,
some day the rank and file of the
party may grow tired of this kind
of domination and bring about a
reaction that will result in the po
litical funeral of the entire gang.
That this clique has managed to
secure the control and co-operation
of certain members of the central
committee is no honor to them or
their methods, and tends in no
wise to exonerate tlieir proceed
| ings in this attempt to thwart the
will of the party.
lie it said, to the honor of the
•members of the committee who
| represent the staunch democratic
townships, they have stood firm
and have exerted every honorable
influence to settle the question in
dispute in a satisfactorily manner.
They have, with one accord, fav
ored and fought for a new primary
I to settle the nomination of the dis
putant nominees, but the friends
[of Air. Alathen.v, especially this
Gray-headed clique organized in
' Barren and other populist-republi
can townships, have fought the
proposition for a new primary
with a zeal born of desperation.
Their one hope and chief aim has
been to perpetrate fraud of some
kind, prevent a new primary to un
cover it and then lay the blame oil
onto Big Bottom township.
They want to make Big Bottom
the scape-goat, create a prejudice
i against Big Bottom and then ride
| into office on the effect of that
> prejudice.
| One of the best evidences of the
: fact that Air. Alatheny’s claim to
the nomination is doubted, even in
i
\ his own lfome and by a member of
the canvassing board which made
the re-count of the primary re
turns from Big Bottom, is the fact
that Hon. lamest Neill, central
committeeman from Ruddel town
ship, Alathen.vhomo, and who
has no doubt been a friend to Air.
Alathen.v and probably would liked
to have seen Air. Alathen.v receive
the nomination, voted at the re
cent meeting of the committee for
a motion to hold a new primary
between the disputant candidates,
thus showing that he does not be
lieve Alathen.v is at present en
titled to the nomination.
It is an evident fact that Air.
Neill does not believe the judges
and clerks of Big Bottom town
ship were a set of thieves, and it
ev idently his belief that Alathen.v
i is not honestly entitled to the
nomination, else he would not have
voted for a new primary between
Matheny and Arnold,
i- Mr. Neill is a rep’-evnlalivo cit
j iz *u of his tov. L hip, he undoubt
edly knows the sentiment of the
democracy of his township, there
fore, in the light of reason and
common sense, how can Mr. Ma
theny expect to receive the sup
port of the right thinking demo
crats of the county when, by his
vote, the committeeman from his
own township has gone on record
as saying that he did not believe
Matheny was entitled to the nomi
nation (
