In lost weeks Condon Globe were several articles copied3 from other papers the purport of wbioh was a general oritiolsm of the legislators; and the moral intended was the de feat of Bowerman and eleotion of Bourbill. If the Globe, or any of its numerous editors (as we understand it), know of any reason whatever, why Bowerman should not be re turned from this district, let them stahd up like men and point out some epecifio thing which to their mind proves the conclusions which they assume to be true. All kinds of glittering generali ties have been indulged; all manner of elander and villiflcation has been spread, but not in one single ins tance has Mr Bowerman’s action or Tote on any question been criticiz ed. Every vote is recorded, and the whole record ie a priuted book, j You oannot plead ignorance, gen» tie men; and unless yon can point to something done, or left undone, (which is wrong), we beg to assert that everything, in detail was to your entire satiefaction. Numerous oopiee of the Fossil Journal of lust week were received here on Tuesday containing a long article and making serious chargee against Senator Bowerman, District Attorney Collier, and Circuit Judge E. V.Littlefield. Just before Sena tor Bowerman took the train for Kent he gave to the Observer the following interview: “The statements contained in the Journal arc, as a whole and in every detail, a fabric of lies, just l>luir> lies, as cau l>e established by proof conclusive. The statement that we have saloons in Condon uow on accouutof a “surreptitious” amendment to the Condon charter is so false that a resident of Condon would laugh at the suggestion, but the people of Sherman, county, of course, are not familiar with the I »cts. “The Gilliam county judge, at a probate term of court, in the ab sence of both county commissioners ordered a vote on local option to be held in November, 1901, and as a result of the election Gilliam oounty voted dry.
