90 pemoeratie Convention

The Democratic county convention
met at this place last Saturday and
after much tribulation nominated the
following ticket: Representative, II
n. Boyd; Clerk Of the District Court,
G. ". Bickford; County Supt. L. F.
Fuller; Surveyor, John P. Barnard;
Commissioner, j. K. Edwards; Pro
bate Judge, @. NJ. Cole Frank Nc
Kay, County Attorney.
There was a great deal Of dissatls-
faction over the endorsement of III.
n. Boyd and L. F. Fullery two Union
Labor men who are thesregular nom
ines of the Union Labor party. This
dissatisfaction was of such magni-
tude that @. J. Van Allen withdrew
from the convention, and was follow
ed by other delegates It is a bad
split and a political rumpus Of pretty
large dimensions. Boyd and Fuller
are professional and crafty politicians.
They worked the Union Labor con
vention and got the nomination from
that party, and then directed their
efforts to the work Of controlling the
Democratic convention, and they
succeeded IN doing it but not with
out serious opposition, that even now
refuses to down. These two Union
Labor candidates, when it suits their
purpose to do so, abuse democrats
and the Democratic party in IN
measured terms, and yet on other oc-
casions and at other times, talk soft
and smooth things. There is no ma
tiOnal Union Labor party; they can
not carry a state, nor elect a congress
man, and yet in Phillips county they
have the ability to prevent the Dem
Ocratic party from nominating a tick
ct and they compel the democrats to
give them the best offices In the coun-
ty and to take what Boyd and Fuller
see fit to give them. The situation
is amusing. Just think of it, The
old Democratic wheel horses mere
whipped or out-generaled and com
PEELED to fuse a great national party
with little side show by two slick
political leaders, who, when ever il
is safe to do so, bitterly denOunce an6
traduce the Democratic party and It's
leaders. Fuller and Boyd are GOOD
ones and who can help but laugh al
Van Allen and the other old demo
Gratis who have been Out-witted and
scooped out, politically speaking, by
/ these new bosses.

'"The Republican party hold that a
protective tariff is constitutional,
wholesome and necessary. We do

ciple. We will revise the schedule.
modify rates, but always with an in
telligent provision as to the effect up

it to be one of the worthy objects of
tariff legislation to preserve the
American market for American pro

scale of wages, by adequate discrimi-
mating duties upon foreign competing
products. The effect of lower rates

THE REPUBLICAN, RALLY.
A Large Crowd and Enthusiastic
Meetings ~ Humphrey and
Felt Fire the First Guns
for Phillips County.

The Republican Rally held here
last Saturday was largely attended
1t had been arranged to have speak
ing out doors but before the hour ar
rived, the wind raised SO that the fly
ing dust rendered It impossible to
hold a meeting IN the open air.
Through the courtesy Of the Demo
cratic convention which adjourned to
the school building, the Court House
was obtained and the meeting open
ed at 1 o'clock by music by the band
Chairman J. Bissel called for all the
voters Of 40 to come forward and oc-
cupy seats at the right of the ros-
trum, and six responded to the call,
viz: Joseph Mercer, Chas Dickey,
I. L. Knight and Mr.. Hill, and two
others whose names we were unable
to learn
Hon. L. .. Humphrey was then IN
troduced and made. an able talk,
which on account Of poor health was
short
The Phillipsburg Glee Club then
sang: ''Turn the Rascals Out" Be
ing enoored they responded with !:
what shall the Tariff Be-"
Hon. A. J. Felt then came for
ward and in a forcible speech Of two
hours, discussed the tariff and labor
questions and showed the fallacy of
the attacks by Democratic speakers
on the Republican platform with re-
gard to the temperance issue. He
spoke Of the Democratic party with
its auxilIaries- Union Labor and
Prohibition parties-as a political
circus and two side shows. These
sideshows he said, was for the sole
purpose of aiding and abetting the
main circus.
At night, Hon. Chas. Curtis, a IA
vorite son of Shawnee county, ad-
dressed a packed house. BIr. Curtis
though young in years is old in logic,
and is one Of the most forcibIe speak
ers we have had the pleasure of list
ening to IN a long time. Keeping
entirely clear of the mud-slinging so
common to stump orators, he backed
up every statement with statictics
and sold facts, leaving his argument
invincible. In this connection we de-
sire to say that the Republican State
Central Committee have in the per
son of Mr.. Curtis an earnest, able,
progressive exponent of the present
issues Of the campaign. With such
men on the stump the Republicans OF
Kansas will roll up the largest ma
jority in the history of the State.
At the close of Mr.. Curtis speech
Major VIM. Drumhiller, everybody
knows the Major, was called out, and
in a manner characteristic Of the gen
tlemen, made some very happy hits
from his personal experience on low
tariff.

"A democrat who attended the
Democratic convention remarked af-
ter the convention adjourned, that he
would not be willing to receive the
abuse that was heaped upon II. n.
Boyd by the democratic speakers for
any county Office. They raked Mr.
Boyd ''fOre and aft;' they said many
uncomplimentary things about him
aud dozens of them declare they will
not vote for him. But after all some
credit must be given Boyd. He
worked the wires SO slyIy that he ac-
tually packed that Democratic con
ventiOn with his friends and Out-gen-
erald Van Allen and the old leaders.
He captured the convention but it is
quite another thing to get the votes
Of the straight democrats who oppose
fusion.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1888-09-21

The Arkansas election has resulted in the usual
democratic victory. The republicans of that
state endorsed the union labor ticket hoping
thereby TO defeat the democrats, but the attempt
reeultedin a miserable failure, tie result being
an increase Of about 5000 in the democratic ma
jority. Phillipsburg Democrat.
Yes, and the Union Labor papers
and speakers declare that they would
have carried the state had not the
Democrats cheated them out of it, by
murder and fraud. Mr.. Streeter and
Mr.. Cunningham, both assert this,
and there is much evidence to prove
the assertion. We want to ask the
honest masses of Union Labor voters
in Phillips county, how do you think
you will like your political allies after
you have tried them awhile, and how
do you like the bargain made by
Boyd & Fuller to sell you out to Gov
ingtOn & Co. A fusion with demo
Gratis by laboring men is unnatural,
and can only be brought about by
political sharpers for personal gain.
Remember that.

The Oberlin Eye gives the follow
ing good advice to a citizen of that
town. 1t says: Owe are heartily
sorry to learn that one whom we had
learned to respect as a man and most
highly regard as a friend has again
commenced to tread the path that
most surely leads to ruin-ruin of
body, mind and soul Friend, You
know where it lead you before; You
know where It would lead You again.
As you regard your friends, as You
love your family, as you value your
own soul stop drinking the stuff.
Make a manly, honest confession to
your wife, to your earnest and sin
cere friends, to the God you profess
and desire to serve and make a sol
emn resolution, God helping you, to
henceforth abstain from the use of
intoxicants. You know We know and
God knows this is your only saliva
ton, your only hope"

We have heard considerable com
ment on the bad treatment Of u. w.
Smedley, Union Labor Candidate for
Clerk District Court, by the Demo
crat. 1t viii be remembered that the
Democrat announced SmedIev as a
candidate for Clerk before the Dem
Ocratic convention. MIR. Smedlev de-
MED being a democrat and it trans
pred that Covington had no author
ity to make the announcement at all.
and yet he refused to take out the
announcement but kept it in his pa
per several weeks after MIR. Smedlev
protested that he had not authorized
its publication. That was shabby
treatment Of Mr.. Smedley, calling it
by no harsher name, and there are
those Of Mr.. Smedley's friends who
believe it was a crooked, political
trick to injure his political prospects.
Mr. Smedley is a fair minded and an
honorable man and citizen and his
friends are not feeling very good over
the democratic treatment Of him. We
never before heard eff ju.s such polit-
ieal tactics being employed.

At this writing the tenth exhibition
Of the Phillips County Agricultural
Society Is In progress. This friday
Is the last day The weather In the
main has been all that could be de-
sired. though=at times the dust caus-
ed some annoyance. The attendance
has been good and the display In the
various departments IS very credit
able. Below we give a brief discrip-
ton OF the more important things on
exhibition so far as our reporter has
observed them
The new judges stand is neat and
handsome, and adds much to the ap-
pearance.
n. W. Pyles, iewelry display is fine.
He also has a nice cabinet of mineral
specimens.
VIM Nichols has the tallest corn
fodder on exhibition In agricultural
hall
f W. Colby shows up with a fifty
pound water melon, raised on Auburn
Heights.
L R. Keller's sweepstakes herd is a
good one, and is composed OF some Of
as good cattle as there are on the
/ ground
3. F. Hughes big squash Is five
feet in circumference one way and
five feet six inches the other.
More room on the grand stand IS
! badly needed In order to accOmmO-
date all with seats.
/ j. A Thompson has a fine lot Of
Lester sheep. They are entered as
mutton sheep. He claims they are
as good for mutton as the COts-WOOl
and have a better grade Of wool.
Mr.. CannOn's horses are among the
/ best in the stables and give evidence
of good stock and good care. He al
/ so has some fine hogs.
The new Floral Hall, though small,
/ is quite an improvement over former
years and is well filed and tastiIy
arranged.
Prominent among other things in
Floral Hall is the taXidermic cOIlec-
ton Of the Douglass brothers. 1t en-
braces almost everything in the in
sect line.
In the art department IS quite a
display of paintings of which the
most CONSPICUOUS are those Of Mrs
3. j. Palmer consisting of two col
| lectiOns and two landscape views
For an apt and unique representa-
ton of nature the LOG Cabin Home, .
an oil painting by Mrs. Mckay, is
par excellent.
The hall is crowded with paintings
fine needle work, cabinets Of curios-
tiles, cakes, jelies and fruit displays,
but time and space will not admit Of
a description of even the principal
exhibits.
