There is in the ring
A man who can sing;
He does it on the stump
In enc sweet-drawn lump.
And don't you forget it.!

W. S. Tilton, candidate for repre-
on the Peoples ticket of
Trego county, will probobly receive
more votes in November than were
ever cast for any one candidate here
tofore in that county Millbrook
Democrat. This is about what A..
Fl. Blair, chairman Of the ring CEN
trail committee in this county. seems
to think. At any rate, he, in his IN
sinuating manner, makes attempts
to express the belief that Tilton will
not receive one-half of the Democrat
ic votes in this county. that the Re
publicans who are with the People s
movement will not generally vote
for Tilton, and that Tilton will be
the worst-beaten man who ever ran
for Office in this county. 1t Is falr
to judge, we aim to say. that Mr..
Blair, in assailing the honor of
Democrats and Republicans in this
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1888-10-20

John A. Nelson, Esq, IS reported
to have delivered touching appeal
at the ring meeting at Trego Center
the other evening. A. Il. Heilig,
Esq, had made an exhibit Of Mr.
Lee Monroe's blackboard scheme con-
corning Tilton, Baker, Pinkham and
Others. 1t was then that Nelson
tried so hard to cry that big tears,
probably placed there with the end
of a finger, stood out boldly on his
alabaster cheeks. It was then that
Nelson, in addition to making an
abortive attempt to crack efectually
the party whip, proceeded to say, in
tones encased in deepest gloom:
"What | most desire in this world
is to so conduct myself that my
children, after | am gone, will be
able to say, our father was an hon
est man." Mr.. Nelson has had his
fingers about as deep in the fnan-
cial pie Of Trego county as any man
we know of on this earth. Espe
cially is this true when the nature of
his services as county attorney is
taken into consideration. Of this,
we may have something to say later
on. But those tears and those de-
spondent declamations Of his at
Trego Center never can die. They
will live in the hearts of Nelson s
countrymen!

with ring votes, when the facts as
to both points are generally the
other way In electioneering, he
lies to men on the streets. He had
the gall awhile back to try to brow
beat friend Of the Peoples move
ment into withdrawing certain
charges against one of the ring

to this friend that if he persisted in
pressing these charges he never could
get any more work in this county,
and that he would be prosecuted for
perjury. The friend was moved BY

perceptibly as the mole moved the

Of the refutation Of few of his

THE HEART OF TIE NATTER.

MD. Hollister, in his speech at the
Hillman school house, Tuesday evening,
hit the very heart of the ring outfit. He
said that Captain Hanna, as register OF
the q. s. land Office, had drawn from the
government and the people large sums OF
money-perhaps from fifty to sixty thous-
and dollars. The speaker had examined
the records of Trego county. They show
that Mr.. Hanna has not cents worth OF
real estate in this county. What, the
speaker asked. has he done with this
money? If he has squandered it, this IS
the clearest of proof that he is not worthy
of being chosen to represent our people
in the legislature. II Captain Hanna has
invested his money in Salina or elsewhere,
he then is not fit to represent In the legis-
lature the county of his residence because
IL was his duty to assist in building up
this county! How many true friends OF
Trego county will not agree with this
reasoning of Mr.. HOLSTERS?

GALL BY THE GALLON.

Mr.. Tilton has evidently been a good
friend to Trego county ard the Repubii-
can party, but they have paid him all
they owe him. He has grown rich from
patronage of Republican officials; he has
had unlimited sway at the public crib and
has drawn thousands of dollars from the
United States land Office when it was I'M
der Republican management and presld-
ed over by Capt. Hanna. Every dollar he
has he owes to the Republican party. and
in his endeavor to tear it down in Trego
county he presents perfect picture OF
royal ingrate-[ Ring organ.
Bossed Shepard, if there is one
chance in hundred to do So. will
always state his propositions wrong
end to- Now, take the first SEN
tence of the above mess: Suppose,
for the sake of argument that Trego
county and the republican party
have paid Tilton all they owe him;
is it not fact that the ''old wads"
in this Peoples movement consider
that they owe it to themselves to re-
elect Mr.. TiIton?
Tilton's unlimited sway at the
public crib has resulted in his draw
ing from Trego county the annual
sum Of little over three hundred
dollars. Does not the unlimited
sway" business prove his honesty?
Yes; Captain Hanna used to prac-
| tice strengthening his spinal column
by seeing that no venture in the
shape Of a newspaper was ever start
ed here while he was register with
out giving it at least one-half Of the
final-proof notices. Had it not
been for this style Of the captain,
we might have taken in even more
money on land publications than
we took in at the unlimited sway"
business.
Shepard ought to know a royal
migrate. He sees the species in its
most powerful form every time he
looks in the glass! 1t is our clear
cut conviction, however, that we
know nearly as much as he concern
ing the nature. Of the balance &C
count between Tilton and the Repub-
lican party. Ii we ever get to the
point Of not being better Repub-
lican than he knows how to be, we
shall ask him the road to take. We
shall probably have to go all the
way to Halifax or Hammerfest to find
him, but this will not necessarily
make any difference.

J. A NELSON, at Ogallah Tuesday
evening, in trying to worm out of the
faisehoods which his friends had peddled
concerning Tilton's friends fighting him,
claimed that Tilton had given him only
two notices in connection with his c&ndi-
dacy for state senator. Now, what we
want Mr.. Nelson to answer is, Were not
those notices favorable to himself? and
were they not indicative of the fact that
Tilton and bis friends were favorable to
Nelson's candidacy?

Monday night that they do not

The Convention.

In st. Louis to-day the Democratic
hosts meet TO take council with one
another. The plan Of action is mark
ed out plain before them. There is
no reason why the convention should
be In session two hours. A motion
to endorse Cleveland and Thurman
and TO adopt the presidents message
as a platform could be carried with
a whoop, and there would then be
nothing to do but adjourn. But, of
course, great many of the fellows
are loaded, and the consequence is
the oratory must come. In this ex-
tremity it is pleasing to reflect that
there is excellent material among the
unterrified, and the clarion notes of
eloquence will blend in perfect har-
mony when the grand chorus Of tar
iff reform is sung.
President Cleveland stands out a
unique figure in American history.
There is something Napoleonic about
him. He has the calmness, the stoli.
dity, and comprehension of the great
captain and the abandon, the bold
ness, the irresistiblenes of Murat. The
politicians have never made out wha
he is. They do not see in him one o.
their kind, therefore they would dis
like him were he not a master. Hi
veto of the pension bill, his message
in fact every move he has made
shows that he IS either Swallowed by
a splendid destiny or inspired by {
splendid genius. lie will be re-elect
ed. Who is to run second we can
not predict, but if not Thurman, theI
Gray has the best chance of nomi

Be that as it may the great fight il
to be fought on the tariff issue. The
vote in November will determine 10 Q

workers shall be robbed for the bene-
fit of 100000; whether few manu-
facturers shall fatten on the hard
earnings of our laborers whether the
money devils shall own this country
