The Saline County Journal, J~ Submitted by Lisa Smalley It is presumed the nomination of an Ottawa county farmer was made in anticipation of the Republicans naming a champion from the city of Salina.
The customary resolutions were adopted and all went smoothly. Baldwin, an Ottawa county farmer was nominated for senator. The people’s party senatorial convention was held in this city last Saturday, and a genuine love feast was indulged in by the faithful. Minneapolis ~ J~ Submitted by Lisa Smalley What will the malcontents do next? It is to be hoped that they will stay at home and attend to their own business, and let the county seat remain where the people of Ottawa county have put it, and where the people of Ottawa county now wish it to be, namely, at Minneapolis. The Commissioners say, after spending half a day investigating the matter, that the petition lacks 75 names, and of course they ordered that no election be had. The main point in the question was, did the petition contain three-fifths of the legal electors on the assessment rolls.
Lindsey lawyers dealt in Glittering generalities,” hallucinations, and false declarations. Our lawyers quoted law, stated facts, and made points. The Minneapolis side was well advercated by Major Cox, of Junction City, and Col. The Lindsey side was represented by attorney’s, Brown of Solomon city S.Y. On these facts being known, the Commissioners who are fearless in the performance of their duty, had a called session, which convened on the 17th, and lasted through the 18th, to the 19th. The friends of Minneapolis gave the petition and the assessment rolls a rigid examination and found 123 illegal names on the petition, and that the petition lacked 74 names of having the legal number to call an election. On a hasty and superficial examination of the petition, and by unfounded and illegal representations of the legal adviser of the county, the Commissioners were induced to order an election. On the 4th of July, when honest patriotic men were celebrating their nation’s holiday, these disturbers of the peace and prosperity of Ottawa county, sneaked in before the Board of Commissioners just a sthey were ready to adjourn, and called for action on their petition asking a vote on the relocation of the county seat of Ottawa county.
This town has outvoted the opposing party has beat them lawing, and now has thwarted them in the matter of getting another vote on the question. The Ottowa county seat question has been decided again in favor of Minneapolis.
