The Ashland Advertiser. A Communication. Published Every Wednesday, Editor A dvertiser ;— Will you allow space in your columns for a few words from a know-nothing in politics, yet one who claims to know a little something as regards the principles of right? We are now’ entering upon w hat may be called one of the most exciting peri ods of a political campaign. Already, the ball has been set rolling and contes tants of the different parties have shown their colors and are now’ stepping into the field for action. And yet it may prove quite miry for some of them, and others may alight upon more solid ground—that is, if they take the advice of a know-nothing from apolitical stand point. What I would say is this: Let us, as loyal citizens, build our principles on the right and honest men for all official affairs, and for clerk, vote for one who has passed through the firey ordeal and come out victorious. He who voted down the enormous railroad tax—not for any good he might derive therefrom, but for the benefit of our public schools and the welfare and prosperity of Jack- son county, looking ahead and seeing the result that w’ould inevitably accrue if it had not been thus consumated. But, if we srill cling to the ruts and mire-holes, then, of course, we vote for men who tolerate these exorbitant railroad taxes, and, by so doing, sink deeper into the mire. Consider well l>efore vou cast your ballot. “ApROBO8.,f rionarch of the Amateurs. E ditor , . .

If there ’s a hole in a’ your coats, I rede ye tent it ; A chiel ’s ama ng ye takin’ notes, And faith he ’ll prent it. —B urns . ¡ Jonothan Tressler, of Medford, has ap parently risen so highly in his ow’n esti mation that he is capable of determining avvery complicated question ; viz., “The Republican Party is Responsible for the Hard Times.” He may be able to de bate a more specific meaning of the sub ject, but as it is, he strives to do some- ' thing beyond his power. A little occurrence that w ill be of es pecial interest to all respectable citizens of Ashland wras brought to our notice a few’ days ago. Saturday evening, a noted “card môn- te” man alighted from the delayed south-bound flyer and inquired for the marshal, requesting a “quiet interview.” He informed Mr. Jones of his “calling,” stating that he had previously made ar rangements to establish his headquar ters here, and that he would “play his game” only with passengers on the trains, and take no money from Ashland “tin horns.” “I will make it well worth your time to consider the ‘propo sition,’ ” he said. Mr. Jones did not hesitate to inform the “generous” personage that he drew’ a salary from the city to do his duty. He further informed the gambler that he had twice arrested him in Montana for gambling, that the first fine was $25, the second time, $100, that the laws were still more rigid here, and that he could not allow’ the establishment of any such headquarters at this place. The gambler “took a tumble to him self” and decided that Ashland was not the town he was looking for—t’was a town that looked like this. Normal School Notes.
