mHARMoMYn With A BIG "Hn

The LOuisvill Courier Journal is mad
enough TO bite lis tongue off because
forty one Democrats III The house helped
the Republicans to kill Morrison s tariff
bill. it speaks of these Democrats as
s.renegades,' ''small guerrilla band, "
'sdeserLers, - towards, !" ''betrayers of
trust" etc. And it even reads them out
of the party thus;
By their course, refusing every offer
of compromise, they have caused a
breach ia the party which is as irrecon-
cilable as it was unnecessary. Men who
cannot support 80 mode, ate measui G
as the Morrison bill should be brave
enough and frank enough to readjust
their party relations.
And its sad and mOurnful cOnclu-
SION is that:
The Democratic party today is in
disgrace, Placed by an overwhelming
popular vote in control of the house 81
representatives, it has accomplished
nothing:
That last remark is very true AND
very disCreditable, not only as regards
the tariff but everything else, except
the grinding OF personal and pOlitica

Conserving the repeal of the pre-emp-
ton and timber culture laws, there is
this to be laid. These laws afford an
opportunity for the poor to obtain land
at merely nominal rates. The rich can
always buy. Men who have few cattle,
with no money to spare to buy land, are
those really benefited. If others simply
take land undec these laws for purposes
of speculation, they do what will be done
under any law. The restriction of Lind
entries to homesteaders simply restricts
the poor man to 100 acres. The rich can
do as they are dong, buying land not by
the &C but by sections Republican
Citizen.
The above is as fair a statement of
the case as we have seen. Embodies
food for thought that might be profta-
bic for our lawmakers, at Washington,
to consider.

He says that in the land office AT that
place, are tens of thousands of patents
to lands in Mississippi, that have new
er been delivered to the parties who
have acquired the title to them, owing
10 tarelessness or ignorance on their
part. These patents, in many cases,
are old, and bear the marks of time.
Some of them are interesting relics OF

be held SATURDAY, JULY 5, in such

time of holding conventions, by publ

When our senatorial convention is
called, we hope that time enough will be
given to permit ali the committee that
want to attend to be present. This
snap Judgment business is one of the
worst goods To wear, and it don't wash.
The fact that our district commences
with Phillips and runs west is one of the
evidences OF growth in the northwest.
The old district went away back as far
as Jewell. The new commences miles
and miles west OF the old, and shows
how much we have grown in the ten
years. In ten years more, it may not 90
no farther than Decatur, and certainly
not farther than Norton. The northern
tier Is the fastest growing part of Kan
sas and is one of the best.
We reproduce the above article from
the Republican Citizen, of Atwood,
Rawlns county, as it is intended to
cover the whole field, and is a good
starter for the discussion of this subject
which seems to have been somewhat
lost sight of in the overshaHowing pres
ence of the Congressional struggle.
As the delegates to the Senatorial
Convention ought to be elected at the
county convention to be held July 18th,
1884, TO elect delegates to the State
Gubernatorial COnYentiOn, it is time the
matter should be engaging the atten-
ton of the people.
A meeting of committeeman ought to
be arranged for at once, to agree upon
date and place of holding convention,
and superintendent of delegates. And
while on this subject we would say that
in our opinion the number of delegates
named are too small, that it should at
least be doubled, say one delegate for
each county, and one for each 70 votes
cast tor James smith for Secretary Of
State, in 1882, or major fraction there
of. This would give Phillips county 10,
Norton county Z, Decatur county s.,
Rawlins county and Cheyenne county
l, making in all % delegates; and
which we think is a plenty small
enough convention.
While we are suggesting on this sub
ject we will remark that Logan would
be good place for the meeting of the
committee and convention both, or the
latter at least. 1t has ample hotel ac-
comodations and we believe that good
hall could be secured, while the town Is
very centrally located and easy of uc-
cess from the whole district.
On the subject of candidates from
this county, if we judge correctly,
there will be plenty to choose from
Besides G.. w. SMnson and H. Moulton
we have heard the name of H. S. Gran
ger favorably spoken of' and right here
we would say he is of such material as
would make a f1rst-class Senator, hav.
ing had large experience in public af
fairs. We also have few other gentle
men who would be glad to be sacrificed
if they knew just how to capture the
Phillips county delegation, which would
be something of IA starter, you know.
