The following is an extract from
q Sun editorial: It is better for the
Democracy to be defeated once
more than to elect man who is in
capable of conducting his own par
ty with disinteredness, let alone
reforming the Goyernment.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1884-08-13

The candidacy of Ben Butler,
who is now fairly in the field as .
Presidential candidate, is . just
retribution upon the Democratic
party for the sins Of . quarter Of .
century. In the bygone days Of
Democracy, brains and courage
stood At q premium in the ranks Of
that party, but since the spirits Of
such men rs Calhoun and Jackson
passed to the immortal shades the
supremacy Of leadership has
hinged solely upon the question Of
spoils and patronage. No sooner
does q man Of brains rise in the
party than the hand of envy strikes
him down. When Samuel Tilden
laid aside the harness Of political
power there was but one man in
the Democratic party worthy to
take it up and that was Ben But
Ter of Massachusetts. He has been
a prominent man before the Nation
for years. His war record has
been something superb; he was a
giant in politics, and in both field
council chamber, his quick action
and steady courage blazed supreme.
But he had one sin which the De-
mocracy of later years cannot en-
dorse. He was the true friend CT
the laboring classes, and is the only
man of any note in the party who
means what he says when he speaks
words of kindness and encourage
ment for the men who smite the
forge or the women who twirl the
spindle. The men who govern the
Democracy of today know that he
is in earnest about this, and so
they repudiated him. For many |
years they have done this and
where they should have recognized
Butler they have persistently ig- |
nored him and set up men of clay, |
not worthy to fasten the latchet of
his shoes. 1t is not strange that
Butler, the intellectual giant
Of his party, burned with silent
rage when he saw a puppet like
Cleveland chosen as the key stone
of the arch, while he himself was
ignored. No insult could have
been more deliberate and studied
than the vote on Buffers amend
ment to the tariff plank Of the
party platform, and now he has
taken the field to show the party
what sort of blows he can deal. He
will make his canvass the browning
effort of his life, and while he will
not win the goal of his ambition he
will make such a wreck of the |
Democratic party as was never
made before. 1t is useless for a
paid press to heap calumnies upon
the name of Butler; these assaults
are only tribute to his greatness,
and he has treated them with silent
and Indifference for
twenty-five years.
He stalks forth now as the execu-
,ioner of Democracy, and as the
leadsman stands upon the scaffold
,amly awaiting the victim, the
eaders recoil in horror from the
scene, as if they knew how short
time must elapse before the
'loody head Of Cleveland viii! fall
n the basket.

The point in the congressional
convention middle is right here: In
Jackson county MI. Wallace carried,
beyond a doubt, three representative
districts, the 1st and 3rd and 18th. He
carried every ward in Kansas City.
The districts he carried entitled him to
50 votes, without any sort of question.
The second district, 7 votes, went for
Franklin; and on the manner of elect
ing these delegates a contest grew at
the Independence convention. Now,
with this state of affairs Mr.. Wallace
was entitled in the congressional con-
v%ention to 32 delegates Of whose right
to be for Wallace no question could
arise. Lafayette and johnson coun-
ties together had but 29 votes. Hence.
in the preliminary organization, Wal
lace having 80 votes unquestioned,
against 90, he had the majority Oh the
question of deciding who was to cas-
the z votes from the End district, anl
so those who were determined to bear
Wallace, right or wrong, trumped VI
a bogus contest in the 4th district, il
which MI. Wallace had carried every
ward, and walked into the convention
with the determination to make
corpse of it or to defeat Wallace. The,
were aided and abetted by the johnson
and Lafayette comfy delegations
whether knowingly or ignorantly, blu
m sort of ~legerdemain can make rea
delegates out of bogus conte stants.

DOVER TOWNSHIP, Aug. p, 1884.
EDITOR lNTELLIGKNCER - Everybody
speaks in the most common. liable terms of The
bold and impartial view that you take Of the
proceedings of the congressional convention.
1t Is the universal expression of men who
feel and take an interest in political affairs,
that h ,we,er much We may admire Graves
or respect Wallace we cannot afford to sac
ritice the district to CRAFTY the ambition of
either.
We do not propose to point out the irregn-
~larities of the conventional proceedings; it is
evidence sufficient that all was not done in
accordance with the established rules for the
government of such bodies, that there are
two able men candidates rs the result of its
actions.
so far as we have learned the opinion of
men In this section, We believe the plan sug-
! gested by you, viz:-'For Graves and Wal
lace to re-submit their claims to the pronle,''
would give satisfaction; but the plan first adj
v0cated was to bring out II new man.
If yours Is not agreed to; if the people feel
in other sections as they do In this; that OF
bringing out a new man will be adopted.

The W%arrensburg Star:-"After
carefully reviewing the proceedings Of
the late congressional convention held
at Kansas City, the only conclusion
that a be made from a fair and i'm
partial standpoint is that no nomination
has been made. In view of this fact 1t
seems to us that the only way to settle
the matter would he TO let both Mr.. Wal
lace and Mr.. Graves withdraw and go
before the people and let them decide
by a primary vote who is their prefer
ence. Then shonld a majority of the
vote be for Mr.. w. or should it be for
Mr.. Graves he should be recognized as
the choice of the Democracy. Who

of the Convention has as good a claim
as its opponent; the minority was
regular in its action, the majority ,rregg-
ular; so both will stick and the Repub

the Globe-D Democrat is mistaken, and
that some plan of adjustment may
be reached in st. Louis to-day.

Jefferson City Tribune:-The fifth

unsettled. They should be speedily

democratic candidate in the field. For

The democratic state committee
meets to-day to settle, it it can, the
ugly muddle into which this congress
sional district has been plunged by per-
sonal partisanism. We sincerely hope
it may be able to do o The interests
of the democratic party demand
that it should be done. In no mans
interest, but in the interest alone OF
the democratic party, we have reached
the conclusion that there is but one
way satisfactorily to settle this ques-
ton. AS Governor Cleveland 80 we'll
pointed out in his letter of acceptance,
this is a government of the people by
the people and for the people, and
wherever it has departed from Its pur-
pose it should be brought back to it as
rapidly as possible. This Is democra-
cy. In the case of this district, there
fore, a settlement by the democrats
themselves will be the very best that
could be made-the only N that will
effectually disarm criticism and stop
discussion.

The Intelligencer has attacked no
ones motives in the Congressional
trouble. 1t has simply expressed its
honest opinions, after careful con-
sideration of all the facts, with the
advantage of having been present both
in the Independence and Kansas City
conventions, and having heard all the
points at issue there discussed. The
worst service the friends OF either
candidate can do to the democratic
party is to asperse the motives of gen.
tlemen who differ from them in this

JUDGE WOODS T

We have no opinions which we care
70 advance by excluding from COL
umns views adverse to u own, hence
we print, without solicitation, Judge
VIM. T. Woods letter to the Kansas
City Times defending the action OF the
convention in its nomination OF MI.
Graves.
We have the greatest respect for
Judge Wood personally, and have no
imputations to make upon his sincerity
or honest intentions, but his letter is
simply a stringing together of the
events of the day. 1t evades the real
subject of dispute, the legality OF the
votes of the Jackson county contestants
who were admitted by his committee
on credentials, which was itself created
by a convention without a quorum.
The Judge gives his whole case
away when he says:-
"Waiting for the proper time to
hear, and consider, and determine the
merits of the contest for seats from the
second and fourth districts, the dele
gates from Lafayette and johnson
patiently sat in quiet, ready and will
ing to hear all claimants and parties tc
the contest and l believe In a spirit tc
do Justice between them; but no occa'
sion arose and no opportunity wa
given them for any action in regard u
this contest"
And vet, Judge Wood, a man VIII
has been a circuit Judge, as Chairman
of a committee on credentials, admit
ted the contestants.
The Judge is mistaken when he say
the delegates from the regular count!
convention never presented their ere
dentials. They repeatedly Offered
them to the chairman of the executive
committee while he was presiding, ant
to the temporary chairman, and i'm
plored them to organize the conven
ton by calling a roll of the delegates
regularly elected by the county con
yentions. Both refused.
} We only allude to the matter, partial
ly, here, because we do not wish silenc
to be construed into consent, as W
prefer to discuss it as little as possibl
until the state committees action.
What we want is one democrat
