MCDONALD, KAN, Nov. 80, 1888.
Ed. HERALD: Your weak handed
correspondent would be pleased to
say that he likes the tone Of the Her
AID as it speaks in regard to fallen
foes; for it seems to him that it is wise
to refrain from inflicting insult upon
those who happened to come out at
the little end Of the horn In a politi-
cal scramble for spoils. Your cor
respondent is also in love with the
tone and spirit of the HERALD as It
attempts to lift up the standard of
morality among the people. IF all
the newspapers in our great republic
would be decent and clear and speak
out plainly and pointedly on all ques-
tons coming up for adjustment, the
glory of our land would increase ten
fold.
"Ped," your Ash Greek correspon-
dent, in his letter published In the
HERALD on Nov. 9Th, demonstrated
his ability or fitness to be rated with
the dearest headed men In your
county.
This part of Kansas is prospering
and viii, in the course Of time, be one
of the grandest portions of the state.
Crops in this part of Rawlins county
and in the northern part Of Cheyenne
county are very good. Corn is sell
ling for 20 cents per bushel.
The Congregational church at
Gritzland, in the northeast part Of
Cheyenne county, is located on a level
prairie where the soil is very deep,
ranging from one to six feet, and the
people round about it are energetic
and cheerful, being in good spirits,
inasmuch as their wheat and corn
have been fairly good.
I began q series Of meetings of the
Gritzland church on the 10th Of this
month and closed them on the eve
ming Of the 28th. During the meet
ings I preached 20 sermons and be-
slowed other labors and was reward
ed amply for all I did in Witnessing
the good results Of the services. The
brethren in that church assisted me
and others helped in the work. On
last Sunday I received into the
church ten members, six by letter and
four on profession Of faith, and bap-
tized five adults and seven children.
During the meetings there were re-
ceived into the church fifteen mem
bers, eight by letter and seven on
profession of faith; also there were
fifteen persons, eight adults and
seven children.
President Cleveland must vacate
on the 4th of March 1889 his throne,
and become a private citizen in this
republic. He will be covered how
ever in glory by millions Of his fellow
men for alltime to come.
AS the Republicans have loudly
professed what good they would do
if they only had an opportunity. Now
the last barrier is burned away"
and if they do not carry out their
promises they will stand convicted as
demagogues and hypocrites by all
fair-minded people. They will have
to revise the tariff and admit several
new states into the union, and pass
the dependent pension bill and the
Blair educational bill and repeal the
tobacco tax, and protect the negro in
his rights all over the South It is
to be hoped that Democrats, Prohi-
bitionists, and Union LabOrites every
where VIII unite In holding the Re
publican party strictly responsible
for whatever good there is in the en-
actment and enforcement Of whole
some laws. B. r. TURNER.
