A FEW PLAIN WORDS

We learn that the rural districts OF
Lyon county are just now numerously
infested by a horde of small, cheap poll
ticians, who emp oy their worthless
leisure in interfering with the pursuits
of those who are more usefully employ
ed, by going from farmhouse to farm

of "rings" and frauds" which, they al

Senator Logan accompanied General
Garfield on his eastern trip. This kind

a very eloquent silence on the part of
the Democratic journals
The Democrats have adopted in their
platform most of the principles of the
Republican party, and all that is lack
ing TO complete the steal is the Occupa-
tion of the federal offices.
The Democratic journals are extreme
ly decorous in their demonstrations over
the Boubon victory in Alabama. They
are probably acting in pursuance of the
conviction that the less matters are stir
red up in the solid south the fainter the
odor will be from that savory section.
1t seems to be question with the
public whether the fishy flavor which
attaches to the Bender stories in the Kan
sas City Times is inherent, or whether it
is impaired by contact with the report
ed "accessions to Hancock which
daily appear in that enterprising journal.
The Baroness Burdett-C outts has es-

duced the consoling belief that she has
finally found one true. tender and
unselfish heart.
