John A. Martin Doomed.

The little game OF running John \.
Martin as prohibition candidate ex-
pecting to rope in and deceive the pro-
hibitionistS of Kansas is played. The
people are getting their eyes opened
and the machine bosses can no longer
fool them. Under Mr.. Martins admin
iStration, there has been issued from
the internal revenue office of Kansas
% wholesale liquor dealers stamps,
2,732 retail liquor dealers stamps, SIS
wholesale malt liquor Dealers stamps,
l04 retail malt liquor dealers stamps,
stamps for breweries and for one dis
tillery. Under Click, who was a whis-
Ky governor and who could encourage
all the liquor selling he could, there
were issued from the same office 26
wholesale, 2,7S9 retail liquor stamps,
81 wholesale and 81 retail malt liquor
stamps, IL breweries and no distil-
lerieS.
Under Click in two years there were
- persons pardoned of violating the
prohibition law. Under John A. Mar
tin SO pardons in Is months. We do
not know how many for August, but
stick pin right there, temperance peo-
pie should not support such a man, and
all the whining of hypocrites cannot
change the results.

The farmer who wants the markets
Of the world open to him to sell in, and
who also wants to buy the necessaries
of life, such as sugar, salt, clothing.
crockery, dress goods, etc., cheap, can
accomplish these objects in no other
way than to send men to congress who
will vote to reduce the tariff tax and 10
encourage commerce. To vote for
Hon. J. G. Lowe is to vote for low tar
if. To vote for Anderson or Wilson is
to vote for high tariff. This is the
main issue in this campaign, and it is
one that should cause every farmer and
every workingman to vote for Lowe.

The New York Star of Sunday prints
the following: "a gray-mustached MAI
of medium height, dressed in dark and
genteel clothes, was standing in front
of Gen. Grants tomb. He looked fol
several moments at the plain brick
tomb, the only monument New York
can afford for the great dead, and then
spoke to the policeman who stands
guard in the place of the soldiers who
have been withdrawn. The visitor car
RED small bunchs Of violets in his
hand and wore small rosebud in the
lapel of his coat. The policeman gran
ted him the privilege to walk up to the
tomb, and the stranger tenderly placed
his viOlets on the grave. He turned to
walk away, but stopped, and removing
the rosebud bent his head over it and
placed it with the violets. 1t was an
incident which occurs every day, but
the story it told is one Of buried en-
nifty, of forgetfulness, Of peace and
brotherly love. The stranger was Gen
G. T. Beauregard, of Louisiana. The

tribute of respect and love to his con-
querer, and with moist eyes walked a.

To the Voters of Dickinson County.

At the Republican Convention held
in Abilene, Oct. End, three candidates
appeared for District Clerk. Balloting
continued with varying success until
the fourth ballot was reached when Mr..
Davidson having dropped out of the
contest l received 40 votes, Mr.. Meyer
SO, 80 being necessary to choice.
This result not being satisfactory to
Cen Stambaugh, who was engineer
ing the opposition to me,-a general
hub bulb followed. Mr.. Stambaugh
seeing the result before the tellers could
make their report, arose and made the
assertion, unsupported by any facts
that our tellers disagree and asked
another ballot, this being granted, he
again obtained the floor and put in an
earnest appeal for unity among his
forces, saying, and l quote his exact
words: Lack one or two votes of
nominating, ETC."
Thus admitting all claim, as at this
time there was no third candidate be
fore the convention. AS a result of
this movement, Mr.. Meyer, on fifth
ballot, received majority Of the votes,
and he was declared the nominee.
Upon the above clear statement Of
facts, which can be substantiated by
scores Of the best citizens of Abilene
and the county generally, who were
there present.
| appeal to you fellow voters whether
it has come to this, that because an as
pirant for political pTeferment in our
county does not live at County Seat, or
has the manhood to openly assert his
preference TOr Congressman: and thus
incur the displeasure Of an ambitious
Attorney, shall such Attorney be allow
ed through methods only recognized as
proper in Mississippi to crush such as
pirQnt2
Toward 8tr. Meyer, who afterward
received second hand" nomination
have no unkindly feeling, but simply
assert my right as citizen to the ben
eft of a fair nomination at the hands of
that convention.
1t goes without saying that had I not
even bee;I known from the first as
personal friend and an uncOmpromising
supporter Of Hon. John 4. Anderson
for Congress, no fifth ballot would ever
have been called for.
In view of the facts above narrated
and at the earnest solicitation of friends
l shall continue to be the candidate for
District Clerk until the polls close on
the 2nd of November believing that the
result will show your appreciation of
one, who knowing his rights dare main
tain them. Respectfully,

The Solomon Democrats asked for a
place on the Democratic ticket, and we
understood they were promised it some
time ago, but they got the usual black
eye.-Sdnd Founder.
Yes, and the Solomon Republicans
asked for place on the Republican
ticket. but notwithstanding promises
etc., the Republican convention gave
them the black eye. But as to the a.
bove, Solomon Democrats ought not to
feel bad, for have they not been the IA
vored ones in government appoint
ments, and did we not help them, and
then shake hands and extend congrat-
ulations on their success? So far we
think Solomon Democrats are on top,
but we could have entered into the
campaign with as much vim and deter
mination for the success of the ticket
if our friend Mr. NeumilIer had been
the lucky nominee.

A Good Word for F. a. Smslley.

The following is clipped from the
Girard. (Ill.) Gazette, a paper published
in Franks old home, and it gives the
REFLECTOR pleasure to call the atten-
ton Of our readers to it:
1--WE see by letter and also learned
from other sources, that our excellent
young friend and former fellow towns
man, F. 4. Smalley, has been nomina-
ted by the Democrats of his district, in
Kansas. as candidate for the legisla-
ture. The young man having been
born and reared in our midst, and by
industry and lndominable will power has
raised to his present position. Know
ing him as we do, we can safely recon-
mend him to the people of his district
as worthy of the station for which his
party has named him, and that if cleo
ted, which his many friends ardently
wish, we are convinced he will repre-
sent his people faithfully, and tho
roughly guard their interests in the
halls of legislation"

Why Lowe Should Be Elected.

He is the friend and exponent of the
rights of the laboring classes. He rec
ognizes the fact that for the last TWEEN
ty-five years or more the legislation of
our congress has been favorable to cap
ital and inimical to labor. Monopoly
has grown, fattened and become corpu-
lent at the expense Of the poorer class
eS. Aggregated capital has, as the big
fish in the stream eats up the little
ones, eaten up all the small savings Of
our wage earners. Concentration of
capital, as concentration of executive
powers, has been eliminating year af-
ter year under republican administra-
ton. PerSistently the democratic par
ty has fought this. Time after time it
has passed in the lower house of con-
greSs bills for the relief of the laboring
classes, but to be defeated in republi-
can senate. THUS far shalt thou go
and no farther" the democratic party
has said repeatedly in rejecting the
will of the people in the lower house of
congress, but the on coming wave of
monopOlistic power has just as often
drowned out the desire of the masses
in the expression Of republican SEN
ate. What do the labOring portion
of the people first demand? The
answer is obviOuS-a reduction Of the
tariff on the articles which they are
compelled to use. The wage worker
should be permitted to buy the necesSa-
rieS of life at the lowest possible limit.
Anderson and Wilson are opposed to
this. They insist that diamonds, used
only by the rich, shall continue to be
admitted free Of duty, while woollen
goods, worn of necessity by the work
ing classes, shall be taxed at from 81 to
los per cent. 1t will be the object of
Mr.. Lowe when in congress to reduce
the tax On all articles of necessity, and
for the purpose of raising revenue to
carry on the legitimate expenses of the
government to place a tariff on such
articles Of convenience and luxury. Mr..
Lowe declares in his speeches that it
is unjust that fOur-fifths of the people
of this country should be taxed to sup
port One-fifth. Anderson and Wilson
proclaim that the great agricultural in
terestS Of the west should be made sub
servient to the will of those who own
the manufacturing establishments that
skirt the barren rocks of old Plymouth.
Voters of the 18th district, choose We
which you will vote for.
Be 1t remembered that Anderson de-
liberately voted against the Morrison
bill, the object of which was to place in
the hands of the laboring man all the
articles Of his consumption cheaper
than he now gets them. If Mr.. An
dersOn should be returned to congress
he will vote again as he has voted.
Hon. j. G. Lowe stands pledged by ev-
ry act and voice and vote to strike
down the Ubiquitous distinction be-
tween the poor man and rich man
which exists in our tariff laws. Our
country is full of produce. We cannot
dispose of it because protective tariff
closes the portals of competition.
Countrymen, send J. G.. Lowe to con-
gress that we may have a man from
the 9Th district of Kansas to stand
with the giants, Morrison and Carlisle,
in the advocacy of the peoples rights.

The republican press prophesied the
defeat of Col. Morrison, of Illinois, in
his party convention, but he was nomi-
mated without opposition. The same
papers have been predicting his defeat
at the polls lately, but they are evident
ly basing their prophesies upon their
own longIngs. The closer the election
approaches the stronger Morrison ap-
pears to grow, and even the most san
gdine republicans in the eighteenth
district admit that Baker is already de-
feated.
