Died of Heart Disease.

One of Hutchinson's prominent citi-
zens. well known throughout Kansas,
Hiram Raft, died suddenly at his home
in that city Monday evening about
seven O'Clock. He had been out to
witness the match game of ball be-
tween Denver and Hutchinson teams.
He was greatly elated over the success
of the Hutchinson team, and drove
home from the grounds in high spirit,
but upon entering his house he dropped
upon the floor corpse, dying of heart
disease. His death was a terrible blow
to his friends, and seemed to cast a
pail over the entire business of the city.
He was one of the prominent men of
the city, and owned valuable property
and fiourishing business.

A Republican on Tariff Revision.

No member of congress has made a
stronger speech for the Mills bill than
Mr.. Fitch, a Republican member from
New York City. He told the house
that it was great mistake to think
that the workingmen of that city, who
cast $1,000 votes for Henry George, an
absolute free trader, for mayor in 1886,
were in favor of the present tariff. In
speaking of the numerous articles,
bought by the masses of the people, the
prices of which were increased by the
tariff tax he said:
1.-The list is the inventory at the
grocery store at which they buy. There
is duty ON the coal that warns them,
on their cooking utensils, on their
clothing, from their hats to their stock
ings, and Ola the roofs over their heads.
Is it unfair to ask for them little con-
Sideration? Grant that we are TO have
a protective tariff; must we have this
particular one fereyer?''

dent under whose able and skillful
management the Republican party was
an important factor in political affairs
in New York City. He had been col

For PRESIDENT.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
THE WINNER NAMED.
Grover Cleveland Nominated On the 9Th,
Without Dissenting Voice.

The democratic convention at st.
Louis, one of the grandest conventions
ever held, has named Americas choice
for president. Most of Tuesday and
Wednesday were taken up in prelimi-
nary arrangements, but before the
convention adjourned for the day,
Wednesday afternoon, Daniel Doherty,
of New York, in his magnificent voice
and wonderful OratOrical ability put in
nomination for president of the United
States, Grover Cleveland, the fearless
and peerless. Such round of cheers
went up from the throats of the vast
assembly as never before were heard in
the land, and every member of the con-
vention was eager to second the nOmi-
nation. The committee on resolutions
and platform were not ready to report
yesterday and it was wise to delay the
nomination for vice president until after
such committees had reported, as the
interest in the convention may lag af-
ter the nominations and delegates will
break away for home. We will give a
full report of the convention next week.

ANOTHER BANK.

The crush National Bank will be a
commercial acquisition to Great Bend
that cannot but be appreciated. The
banking company is now organized and
ready to commence preparations for

of $50, 900, and an almost unlimited
amount of backing.
Negotiations are now going on for Il
business lot Oh Main street, where a
very fine bank building will be erected
as rapidly as possible.

KANSAS is everything that is ag-
gressive. Her people determined that
she should be known throughout the
world, and she is. They said she
should be the wonder of the nine
teenth century, and she is. They said
she should make more rapid improve
ments in the way of settlement, devel-
opment ia industry, education, and
politics than any state had eyer done,
and she has. Even Kansas weather is
aggressive. When the wind blows it
emphasizes it's direction plainly-in the
summer by showers of loose sand
and in the winter by pellets of ice
and person need not gainsay the
statement. When it rains in Kansas
it rains for the Lords sake'' and for the
sake of mankind also. When crops
grow in Kansas they tluctuate the
markets of the world, and even when
Kansas men go amongst the law
makers of the land they become the
most conspicuous figures of those
august bodies. Kansas is aggressive,
and nothing can check her in her course

lector of the port of New York and
knew well the practical effect of the
tariff and he said in his message:
'''I recommend an enlargement of
the free list so as to include within it
the numerous articles which yield in
considerable revenue, a simplification
of the complex and inconsistent sched-
ule of duties upon certain manufac-
lures, particularly those of cotton, iron
and steel, and substantial reduction
of the duty on those articles and upon
sugar, molasses, wool and wooden
goods
ION such Republican doctrines L am
satisfied to rest. On such Republican
doctrines we can ask for votes in the
city of New York from classes have
spoken of. and we will not then be
forced to stand and defend before peo-
pie whose monthly wages hardly suffice
for their necessities tariff which i'm
poses a % per cent. duty OF India rub
Der boots and shoes and 0per cent. ON
precious stones.
Instead of bill, those of us who
think that Il reform of the tariff is a
business question and who are COM
mitted to its support, have given thus
far only an eloquent denunciation OF
the manner in which this bill under
consideration was made. For myself
II do not know that care particularly
how it was made, OF who made it. If
the gentlemen who denounce its
authors and the place where it was con-
structed will prepare better bill than
this one, shall certainly be glad to
give my support to their measure in
preference to any other"
1t always annoys the enemies of the
Mills bill to have President Arthur's
strong recommendation of tariff revis-
ion quoted against them. They can
hardly accuse him of aiming to hurt
American industry in making the
recommendation above quoted.

AMONG those who replied to the cir
cular letter sent out by the United
states Republican league, asking for
subscriptions for fund with which to
carry the coming election, where Gov
ernor Alger, of Michigan, candidate
for the Republican presidential nomi-
nation, who subscribed $500; Chauncey
M. Depew, also candidate and Il rail-
road monopolist, who subscribed 5000,
wood pulp monopolist Warner Miller
of New York, who subscribed
5000, Senator Evarts, whose affection
for the people is we'll known, who sub
scribed 800, and calico Charlie Foster
of Ohio, who, also subscribed 500.
The purpose of the fund is fully eX-
planned by the circular, which says:
1T is no Fourth of July organization
for dress parade. but is an every day
working force of practical political
workers. We want money and we
want it at once" The Democratic
committee Of every township of every
county of every state in the United
States should distribute copies of that
circular to every voter in his township.
While the Republican party is bowling
about protection to the American work
ingmen, it is quietly assessing the boss
monopolists for a corruption fund to
continue monopoly. Kansas City

REPUBLICAN papers appear to think
it exceedingly funny that the democrats
of this district think Congressman
Peters can be beaten. We are not
very old, yet, but we can remember
the time when the idea of such thing
as democratic party having the cheek
to organize, even, in Barton county
was a source Of great amusement TO
the old ringsters. S. r. Peters will
have no wa]kaway this year.
