Click is Gaining.

The republican state campaign of
fraud, hypocrisy and abuse has already
reached its highest point. The turn
has been called, and CLICK is gaining
and will continue to gain until the No
vember ballots re-elect him.
In 1882, Dickinson county gave CLICK
1926 majority.
In 1884, Dickinson county will give
CLICK nearly 500 majority.
JOHN A. MARTIN, the prohibition
candidate for Governor, was nominated
by 4S political ministers of the gospel,
and the same number of politico-religio
cranks builded the platform on which
he stands. twill not suffice the indie
pendent voters that some of the repub-
lican papers are advocating the policy
of settling this paramount question of
resubmission within the lines of the re-
publican party. Such a thing cannot
be done. The republican politicians
uuOpOCu pIOuIDlC1O11 do a pau W p11uCIplC.
and have sought to force it upon their
party.
The false principle of prohibition can
not be repudiated by disguised repub
licans within the lines of their own par
ty. They must go outside. The amend
ment will never be reSubmitted by the
republican party, because religious and
political cranks have control of the Or
ganization within the state.
To kill prohibition and the cranks
who have thrust it upon the republican
party, those republicans to whom the
law is obnoxious should vote for CLICK,
who is to-day what he was yesterday
an honest man, believing in personal
liberty and individual rights, and up
holding and defending that belief be-
fore all men.
If CLICK is reelected, as he will be,
the amendment will be resubmitted.
The moral effect of his reelection can
bring no other result.

PIANOS AND ORGANS.

Call and examine the fine stock of
Pianos and Organs that Messrs. Iron &
Barringer have in stock in the store
room lately occupied by j. F. Angus
tine. They will keep in stock at all
times a large variety of the very best
instruments manufactured as well as
medium priced ones. All instruments
sold on time or monthly payments when
desired. Mr.. IriOn is an old citizen
here. Mr.. Barringer has lately come
among us and comes well recommend
ed as a man of integrity and ability.
He has had years of experience in
handling Pianos and Organs and his
word as regards price and quantity can
be relied on, and his opinion stands at
par with the trade, so purchasers can
have full confidence in what he recon-
mends. Go and see them and exam
inc Instruments. Ladies that play are
especially invited to come and are well
come at all times.

Seems to Understand it Pretty Well.

George w. Martin says in his juno
ton City Union: s. If the republican
party was ever favored with astate cen
trail committee possessed of any capaci-
ty or force in the direction of system
attic or any other usefulness in cam
paign we cannot now recall the time.
This difficulty exists to-day, and we
understand demand for the resigna-
ton of the secretary is quite general.
If the party ever enjoyed a controlling
power not manipulated by the railroads
or some senatorial harlOt, but devoted
solely to the PRONUNCIATION of republi-
can principles, we have forgotten it.
We have about as little respect for re-
publican state central committee as we
have for republican legislative caucus,
in each of which the party has been
raped

The Maine Election.

The election in Maine last Monday
resulted in a complete victory for the
republicans, as was expected. A Gov
ernOr, four members of congress, 81
state senators, Isl representatives and
full boards of county officers were
elected, and the republicans bagged all
the game that was worth having by
majOrities that were large enough for all
practical purposes. The republican
majority ON Governor is about 5000.
The increase in the republican ma
jOrity is not SO large as it should have
been. 1t is certainly not large enough
to cause the democrats any uneasiness.
In 1880 the fusionists elected the Gov
ernor by 169 majority, but in the presi
Dental election of the same year the
greenbackers voted the republican
ticket and GARFIELD's majority over
HANCOCK was S,S6S. The gubernatO-
rial contest of 1882 resulted in the cleo
ton of Robe, republican, by MAORI
ty over the demOcraticnominee of s 1872,
the greenbackers still voting with the
republicans.
In Mondays election the republicans
reelected Robe by majority of about
$4,000, the greenbackers and prohibi-
tionists voting for him. This increase
is due to the fact that Maine is Mr..
BLAINE's home, and that he has made
the fight a personal one. The best
speakers of the country and thousands
of dollars had been turned into the
state by the national republican COM
mittee, and the two weeks preceding
the election these influences kept the
state ablaze. Every effort was made to
increase the republican majority, and
it is but fair to say that the efforts have
been reasonably successful. Under the
circumstances, however, the democrats
have no reason to feel disheartened'
The democrats of Maine, unaided and
the impossibility of carrying
the state, have done remarkably well.
less than majority of 10000
from Mr.. BLAINE'S home state would
have been republican defeat If the
majority had been more than 5000 the
democrats might have had some cause
to look blue. AS it is, they feel tolera-
bly, comfortable, thank you.
The prohibitory amendment to the
was adopted by a majority
of about $4,000. Mr.. BLAINE refused
to vote either way on the amendment.
The Maine election resulted in vic
tory for Robe, BLAINE and Prohibi- |
ton.

A Kansas Steer at a Big Barbecue.

The democrats of Shelby county, In
diana, will hold a monster barbecue at
Shelbyville on September 25th. Shelby
county is the old home of Gov. HEN
bricks. The democratic farmers of
the county have already donated forty
beeves, seventy sheep and seventy-fve
hogs, and our own genial, generous
CLICK will donate steer weighing
1900 pounds. The young democracy
of Kansas thus stand shoulder to
shoulder with the rock-ribbed, grand
old democrats of the HoOsier state.
The rascalS must 60.

ago they were as bold and as uncom-
promising as hungry lions. But now,
they are trying to run two-faced cam
paign. They claim that prohibition is
a republican doctrine and principle, but
they are afraid to come out openly and
fairly and say that JOHN A. MARTIN
is opposed to resubmission and is an
uncompromising prohibitionist. They
are afraid to come out openly and
fairly and say that he is an anti-prohi-
bitiOnist and fayors resubmission. But
privately they make both claims. They
are dishonest and cowardly.
Before the REFLECTOR is called a
whisky paper we have the right to ask
that the position Of the Gazette and
Chronicle be defined.

Cool and Insolent.

1t is very cool and insolent PROPOSE
ton of the republican machine" to
settle the question of resubmission
within the party lines. When did the
democrats, greenbackers and anti-mo-
nopolists cease to be citizens of Kan
sas? 1t is insufferable ''bossism'' which
would ignore the rights and wishes of a
very considerable minority. 1t is about
on a par with the utterance of JOHN
A. MARTINS, that the minority had
no right which the majority was bound
to respect" Prohibition, with all of
its unfairness, its intolerance, its shams
and hypocrisy, must go.

Does the Tariff Protect Wheat ?

The great depression of business, the
scarcity of money and the extremely
low price of wheat, are things not cal
culated to increase or strengthen a
mans belief in the efficacy and desira-
bility of a high protective tariff. To
insure true commercial prosperity, trade
restrictions, in the shape of high and
unnatural taxes, must be removed.
The Kansas farmer, especially, can not
see how he is benefited by a protective
tariff when his wheat is worth only 40
and so cents per bushel.

Sweet Woman and Equal Rights.

Mrs. I}ELvA A. LOCKWOOD has been
nominated by the wOman's national
rights party for President. In her let
ter accepting the nomination she says:
81 shall seek to insure a fair distribu-
ton of the public offices to women as
well as to men," Mrs. LOCKWOOD
will receive the sympathy but not the
votes of the people. Her cold-blooded
proposition to turn half of the public
Offices over to short-haired women will
be resented at the polls by an indig-
nant and emphatic protest from the
.'lords.' BELvA is doomed from the
start.

A Man to Depend On.
Boston Herald.

Governor Cleveland has never been
advertised as political Lulu Hurst,
for his ''magnetic'' power; but he i'm
presses every one who visits him as a
man of great sincerity and strength of
character-one to ''tie to-" as the say
ing is. The impression formed by John
Boyle O'Reilly is a typical one. q
had never met Governor Cleveland be-
FORE" he said, but l left with the
most thorough admiration for him. He
is sincere, fair minded, upright and
courteous gentlemen-fair in all his
opinions, and without prejudices. y
This is better than magnetism.

Differences.
Philadelphia Record.

Harry Navarro, the gallant Knight of
the White Plume and the lover of the
celebrated Gabrielle d'Estrees, will
hardly serve as an example for modern
chivalry. Good men who march in pro-
cessions brandishing tin spears and
wearing white feathers would be shock
ed at escapades of the hero who was the
model of all knightly virtues. Harry
of Navarro, however, never went on his
knees to anybody but a woman.
