THE "POoR MANS PARTY Tho Democracy
delight in calling themselves the poor mans
party. This party, in the Second Representa-
tive District, have nominated VIM. p. Symns for
Representative. It is notorious-for he has
hitherto mace Eo oIt 10 concs sl bis sentiments,
when he did not expect 10 be candidate for Of
6ce-thst Mr.. Symns has expressed himself in
favor of q property qualification for ofBce that
is, that no man should he entitled to vote, who
did not possess given amount Of taxable prop
erty. This was the Law in Virginia, in the good
old Democratic days. Mr.. symns was raised in
Virginia, and dearly loved the good DID law that
placed the poor man ou . level with slaves and
mules. The only right they had was the right
to work. Now Mr.. Symns would like to see this
law established in Kansas The day laborer,
who lives in . rented house, and has not a.
much household goods as the law allows him,
or the renter on q farm, who is compelled to hire
. team Of his landlord to make his crops, could
then stick to his work on election day, while
Mr.. Symns went to the polls and did his voting.
We are Of the opinion that the laboring people
of this District do not want Mr.. Symns to rep
resent them in the Legislature. They will pre-
fer Mr.. Kennedy, who is not above sssociating
with the poorest man, and does not wish to de-
prive him Of the rights of freeman.

u We should not forget to canton Republi
cans who are inclined to join the Greenback
party, that it is only by-path into the Demo-
cratic party. The fraud is being exposed every
day. 1t is well known that the Greenbackers
claim to have elected two Congressman in Maine,
two in Iowa, and one in Indiana. 1t is now au-
nouced that the Greenbacker in Maine who beat
Eugene Hale is not a fiat money man nor an in
fatonst, but has always been Democrat. De
La Matyr, of Indiana, is no longer even counted
as Greenbacker, but as an out-and-out Demo
crat. And how it is revealed that the two Green
hackers elected in Iowa, pledged themselves, be-
fore the election, to act with the Democrats in
party caucus This means that they will bind
themselves to aid the outrages and revolution

GET 0UT Your WoRKERs-The most effective
force in an election, is the workers at the polls.

best workers at every precinct, from the open

vote should be got out. Many voters will re-
main away from the polls, if they are not urged
ont Make full list of all voters in the pre-
cinct. Then, if they have not come in by two

r. The Highland Sestisel opens its batteries
upon Mr.. Shulsky, as herd law man. While
on the subject, we will remind the Seafinel that
its "boss" candidate, Rippey, is one of the most
positive herd law men in the County. The Re-
publican candidates for Representatives are all
pledged TO favor law allowing the people Of
the County to control the herd law question by
vote and Mr.. Shulsky, as q member of the
County Board, will carry out the law. Mr.. Rip
pey has made no such pledge, and his interest is
to enforce the herd law.

Two Sides to IL.

The only thing urged against Mr.. Shulsky,
thus far, is the bill of Mr.. Steele, of the Sever
ance Hotel, on account of smallpox, which Mr..
Shulsky, as Trustee of Wolf River Township,
recommended to the careful consideration" of
the County Board. That is all he did-recom-
meuded that they give it careful consideration.
Bot this 10 question that it will do no harm to
look at. The County Board allowed Mr. Steel
some s24o for damages and losses sustained in
the smallpox epidemic at Severance, last Win
ter. Mr.. Steele kept hotel, which had cost him
much money to it up, and which the citizens of
Severance regarded q credit and benefit to their
town. But smallpox came into the house. It
was surely not with Mr.. Steeles knowledge or
consent; and because of the opinions given by
doctors that the disease was not small -pox, pre-
cautionary measures were delayed. But when
the nature Of the disease vas settled, the author
tiles at once closed the house. 1t was made Q
hospital, and all diseased or exposed persons
were quarantned there. The business of the
house was ruined; it was closed for months, and
the poison of the disease infected every room,
and all the bedding and furniture. When the
disease abated, after many weeks, Mr.. Steele
was left fat-no means, and the entire house
replaced, before he could do business. The pub
lie had used his house, at his expense. The ques-
tion was, whether the public should not bear
the bulk Of the expensei Many insist that
the City of Severance should have paid the bill.
During the prevalence of the disease, the bust
ness Of Severance was as dead as it was in Mem.
phis during the prevalence of yellow fever. All
the citizens had suffered loss, and did not feel
able to pay anything. 1t was resolved to apply
to the County for aid, and Mr.. Shulsky asked
the County Board to give the matter careful cor
Notwithstanding more. And this is urged
against him, as Q reason why be sbould not be
elected Commissioner. Do the people of Sever
snce or of Wolf River Township think that Mr..
Shulsky wronged them by not insisting that
they should pay the billi Do they not think
Mr.. Steele was entitled to something, under the
circumstancesi 1t looks to us as If Mr.. Shulsky
had acted very prudently in the matter; and
that such arguments as We have spoken of will
mako him votes in Wolf River Township, instead
of taking them from him.
Since the above was written, we have receiv-
cd . communication from DIR. Long on the same
subject, which We publish elsewhere. He states
the case Of Steele's hardship very clearly.
Whether the County or the unfortunate City of
Severance should have paid the bill, is ques-
tian for cavil; but Steele should not have borne
tho whole brunt. That the County paid it in
stead of the city, is reason for the people of
that vicinity to complain. Shulskys recon-
mendation that 1t be carefully considered, is
rather simple matter for SO great an uproar

q We learn that E. +. Dixon has come out
as an independent candidate for Representative
in the Third District. Heretofore Squire Dixon
has been too sound Republican to engage in
any scheme to aid the election of Democrat ;
but that may be the effect of his present candi-
dacy. With two Republicans and Greenbacker
on the track, the chances will be in favor of the
Democratic candidate. We understand that the
issue in the delegate election at Wathena was
between Mr.. Selover and Squire Dixon, and that
Selover carried the day. His candidacy now
looks like the doings Of Selover's personal ene-
mics, who do not care if Democrat is elected,
90 that Seloycr 10 beaten, but who have induced
Dixon to come out, iu order to draw of voters
that could not be induced to vote for Demo-
crat. We hope that Squire Dixon, as well as
the Republican voters of that District, will see
through the game in time to block it.
