In justice to Mr.. Gettinger we
must say that he did not seek or de-
sire entrance into the political field,
nor can we see how he can consis-
tently accept nomination or election
under the circumstances. He can.
not serve God and Mammon,-Cam.
den and anti-Camden,-and main
tam his self-respect. 1t does not
become a man of his standing and
virtue, to engage in the corruptions
of politics such as is bound to attend
this Doodle fight. He has all to
lose in his declining years, and moth
ing to gain.

VIEWING THE SENATORIAL CUES
TON.

The Democrats of this Senatorial
District must feel the deep humilia.
ton heaped upon them by the act of
the convention in turning down all
their most deserving and desirable
candidates, such as Messrs. Parks,
Strider, Pendleton, Hughes, Wilson,
Snodgrass, McKown and others, and
for the sake of harmony and self re-
spect in trying to prevent the Con-
vention from going by default, nom-
mating j. III. Gettinger.
To the rank and file of all parties of
the several counties, this contention
Of the political leaders for factional
success, must make itself felt most
reprehensibly. To the voters and
taxpayers it should serve as a solemn
warning to be no longer toyed with
by designing politicians who but obey
the behests of the greater powers that
be. Let the people rise in their
might and select men of their own
choice and representation. Monopo-
ly is king! Money rules
The Republicans meet on the 23d.
Every man of them should take heed
from Thursdays lesson. A double
duty devolves upon them; not OF
party, NOT OF POLITICS, BUT OF
FIDELITY TO THE PEOPLES
WISHES Give the voters of Jefer-
son, Berkeley and Morgan man not
welded to machine politics, not be-
holding to "boss" politicians, not
bound by party ties, not a pitiable
usnfruct of hdrmony's bitter tree =
but give them man FREE as the
mountain air that sweeps in currents
from sea to sea; man as pure polit-
ically as the sparkling water that
drips from the highest rocks into the
Potomac's flowing tide "a man the
sworn enemy of monopoly that binds
this American people like huge
band of iron; a man known as the
friend of labor beyond doubt or cavil /;
man the relentless foe of that oppo-
sition to the popular will against
which the people have protested for
years in vain. Such a man the voters
of this district will elect with glory to
themselves and everlasting rebuke to
the miserable go-betweens of warning
politicians.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5, 1886.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ., 1856.
The long truant Cabinet of this
not very exemplary Democratic
Administration is coming in one BY
one. Two so called Cabinet meet,
ings have been held, and although
questions of great national and in
ter-national Importance are pressing
for consideration, not more than
half the Presidents constitutional
advisers were present. This, how.
ever, is matter of no great concern
to the Buffalo phoenix, who with
Daniel Lamont and the Mugwump
editors, thinks he knows how to steer
the craft.
Mr. Manning will be here in a few
days to re u m e charge of the
Treasury portfolio. Garland has
already returned, and when Mr..
Bayard comes back, the Cabinet
will be complete.
The recent rejoicings over the
capture of Geronimo have been
turned into chagrin since it is learn
ed that Gen. Miles accepted his sur
render on conditions that will save
his loathsome life. 1t is said that
Gen. Miles disobeyed orders in allow
ing the Indians any terms. A
court of inquiry will be called, and
Gen. Miles will have to answer for
his disobedience of orders.
With the frosts of October
fashionable and official absentees are
turning their faces homeward. Mrs.
Cleveland, together with her mother
went to Buffalo about week ago,
ano is expected to return in a few
days. 1t is predicted that the COM
ing season will be very gay one.
The Endicotts are the blue blood
of the Cabinet, who, if they cannot
trace their pedigree back to a
primordial protoplasmic organism,
can at least claim as their ancestor
old John Endicott, Governor OF
Massachusetts, in the 18th century.
This venerable relative was an ex.
tremely strict Puritan, and if he
should see the house in which his
defendant is living, it would Ger
tainly disturb his rest. The build
ing is in the Queen Anne style. and
everything about it is fiery red.
Advices from the field where the
Congressional campaign is being
waged, indicate that the Democratic
majority will be much reduced, and
the Democrats will be still further
weakened by the substitution of raw
and untried men for experienced
leaders and veterans. The Demo
cratic majority in the House has
been decreasing steadily for the
last two terms. In the 4Sth Con
gress, they had majority of 70. In
the 10th, their majority was only
about 40. There is every prospect
that this majority will be greatly re
duced, if not entirely extinguished

The Town Council Thursday night
elected a colored man as additional
policeman. This was badly needed.
Under the management of the two
now on the force, the " boys" have
had full sway, causing untold annoy
ance to persons living on the back
streets. In the interest of" economy
and reformn we demand the immedi-
ate dismissal of the two worthless
police now on the force, believing this
colored mans services worth more to
the people than the others combined,
or Joint Council would have not put
him on. Why longer cucumber the
taxpayers with these men?

The freight brakemen on the New
York, Pennsylvania & Ohio Railroad
have struck for higher wages
Mrs. William Cunningham was
instantly killed and her two child
rem fatally injured by being struck
by railroad train at Galesburg, I'LL.
A little girl five years old, the
daughter of Mr.. Brush, fell asleep
on Saturday last on the window sill
of the fifth-story of a building in
New York. During her sleep she
rolled out sideways, and fell four
stories into the folds of an awning
shading the front of beer saloon.
She was uninjured, except some
bruises, caused by striking a sign
board attached to the front of the
house. Her escape from death was a
miracle.
The tenth annual convention of the
Knights of Labor opened Monday
at Richmond, Governor Lee welcom-
ing the Knights and Grand Master
Workman Powderly responding.
The colored delegate from New
York, who was refused accommodate
ton at the city hotels, introduced
Mr.. Powderly, who in his speech
referred to the color line by the
knights of Labor. The colored
delegate from Baltimore was accom-.
modated at hotel because twenty.
live knights quartered there refused
to remain unless he was admitted.
Twenty three persons are known
to have been killed by the explosion
of the steamer La Mascotte, on the
Mississippi river, and it is feared
that there are other victims.

DON'T EXPERIMENT.

You cannot afford to waste time in ex-
perimenting when your lungs are in
danger. Consumption always seems at
first, only cold. Do not permit any
dealer to impose upon you with some
cheap imitation of DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds, but be sure you get the genuine.
Because he can make more profit he may
tell you he has something just as good,
or just the same. Don't be deceived,
but insist upon getting DR.. Kings New
Discovery, which is guaranteed to give
relief in all Throat, Lung and Chest
affections. Trial bottles free at E. C.

Lamar with having ring, polit-

strangers to each other, have a ring.
Yes we have, but it is not political
ring, for politics are talked less in
Lamar, we venture to say, than any
town in the state. We have ring
though, that comes from the black
smiths anvil, the carpenters saw and
hammer, the mason's trowel, and
that arises from n thrifty, wide
awake, git up and git class of people
III their attention to their own bust
ness but united effort to build up a
town. That's the kind of ring we
have, and its the kind that will make
Lamar the biggist town in Bent
county inside of one year. We have
repeatedly SAID, you can as far as we
are concerned this year get into the
county political craft and run her up
or down stream, we don't care
which.
