The empty sleeve, tho wooden leg, the SCARED
face, the sympathy of the soldiers widow, the
love eff the soldiers orphan, the boys in blue, all
as one people, link their fortunes to the Repnb-
lican party. They felt the vital necessity of its
supremacy eleven years ago; they are conscious
of that necessity now. The misguided and mis-
led current of sentimental gush which has found
a lodging place in the hearts of some, cannot
move the men who spent years on the field of
strife to preserve the Union, or dragged out ma
ny months of existence within the Infamous linn
its of the dead line at Andersonville and Belle
Isle. They believe in conciliation, but not in
embracing the forms of rank treason before they
are dead enough to lose their fatal sting.

THE PRIMARIEs.-We would remind the Re-
publicsns of Doniphan County, that next Satur-
day is the time for electing delegates to the
County Convention. We hope there will be a
good turnout in every precinct, aud full set of
delegates elected, who will attend the Conven-
tion, determined to nominate the best and most
acceptable candidates. The Republicans have
as good men for all the offices as can be found in
the County. Then, why should not Republicans
vote for them, and thus keep up the spirits and
organization of the party9 The so-called Peo-
pies Committee declared that they did not see
the necessity of Convention, but if the Repub-
iicans held one, they would do likewise. That
was as much as saying, there was no need OF a
ticket, but they wanted to beat the Republican,
that is the only principle they have. Then,
iook at the Committe. A majority of it is COM
posed OF Democrats and of former Republicans
who have become sore-headed because they were
not honored as much as they thought they de-
served. The only object of the party. is to Sc
cure the election of Democrats, or Republicans
who fail to get Office from their own party.
Then, again, they hold their Convention just a
week before the election. The Republicans put
theirs off too long, but this one is stiii worse.
There is scarcely time for the people to tind out
who the candidates are. But perhaps they do
not care for that-they think they have the peo-
pie by the nose, and can lead them up to vote
any ticket to beat the Republicans. If they sue
ceed, it will be by Republican votes We would
ask Republicans if they propose to be used for
such purposef If Democrats want to make a
square, open fight for the Offices, let them come
| out under their own colors. But this thing OF
calling it Peoples party, and getting Republi-
cans to elect Democrats lsore-tads to Office, is
becom ing too thin. -

CHANGE I'VE could not help thinking, yester-
st Kansas City, while JEFF. Davis was quietly
seated a few feet away, the centre of an adniring
crowd, what changes ten years had brought TO
the people of the Init<d States. To commence,
here was JEFF. Davis, certainly not hanging on a
"sour apple tree" but exchanging sentiments of
patriotism and good will with prominent Repub-
licans. Gen. Tom. Ewing, whose famous or in
famous order No. IL, has been severely criticised
by all class of American citizens, is now stump
ing Ohio for old Bill Allen. Lecompte was a
short time since, and he is now, for all We know,
chairman of Republican county committee in
Kansas, while Stringfellow, so well known in
"border ruffian" times, is famous Republican
leader.-LdWreRce Standard

FOUND IT 0UT.-We call attention to the
card of C. G. Bridges, Withdrawing from the race
for Treasurer, and giving his reasons therefor
We commend it to the attention of other Repub-
licans who have a hankering after Peoples
parties When running Cor the Senate, last Fall,
Mr. Bridges avowed himself Republican on po-
litieal issues Because he voted with the Repub-
licans on most of the party questions in the Leg
islature, the bosses of this Peoples party con-
cluded that he must be scooped. Had he voted
with the Democrats, and abused the Republicans
on every occasion, he would have been glorious
fellow. II is not sufficient for man to favor
reforms-he must cut loose from the Republican
party, and if he wants to belong to a party, must
take the Democratic chute. That is what this
"People's" party amounts to. Bridges preferred
to stick to the Republican party; and to save
trouble to the few disinterested individuals who
control the "People," he is not asking them for
Office. Other Republicans will be forced to the
same choice. One of those enthusiastic People,
came to MS last Fall, in his glee over the result
of the election, excla:ming: "That's the way tc
do It'll Take Republicans for nearly all the off,
ces till you get the party so split up that it can
never unite, and then we've got 'em where we
want 'emr We trust the Republicans viii show
them, this Fall, just where they have got 'em.

TREMENDOUS STORM OVER THI
COUNTRY!
NOT THE ONE PREDICTED BY TICE
A FOg.Horn Heard Family i'm tn
Distance.

In Tuesdays elections, that "Tidal Wave" took
q reaction. The Republicans have carried the
day everywhere.
In Ohio, Gen. Hayes is elected Governor over
Fog Horn Allen by about 10000 majority. No
reports as to the Legislature.
In Iowa, almost everything has gone Republi-
can. Kirkwood's majority for Governor will not
be less than IS 900.
Nebraska has gone Republican by 10000, with
a large majority in the Legislature, and in favor
of the new Constitution.
Newark, New Jersey, has elected Republican
Mayor by 1890 majority. A Republican gain of
over $500.
Republicans of Doniphan County, these are
pretty good hints to go in and wfnf

~ The ring-leaders of the peoples" party
say they will not nominate any man who asks or
receives nomination from the Republican Con-

publican Convention, they will nominate them
This shows that they do not want the best men,
but want to beat the Republicans. If the Re-
publican Convention nominates men whom these
People now call the best the latter will do all in
their power to defeat them. Republicans who
have been acting with that outft, will please

SHERIFF.-Thomas J. Vanderslice this week
announces himself as candidate for reelection
to the Office of Sheriff, subject to nomination
by the Peoples Convention. He has many en-
thusiastic friends, and his nomination by the
Convention is not very doubtful. To say that
he has given satisfaction in the Office, would be
asserting thing that no Sheriff has yet accom-
plished; but he has perhaps come as near to it as
any one could come.

~ In the Brown County District Court, last
week, Judge Hubbard decided that the law ex-

tional. We call the attention of voters to this
fact, as another evidence of the necessity for an

not been repealed at the next session after its
passage the Courts would have been depriving
the public of two years taxes on the money
sharks capital, instead of only one.
