Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1888-11-01
GREAT BEND KANSAS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER l. 1883.

THE richest joke of the campaign is
the republicans threat that Harrison
will turn out of Office any republican
clerk under the democratic Admins
tration who fails to contribute to the
republican corruption fund. Thegrand
old party has lost everything but its
gall. - sas 80 4.efat
THE cowardly and pusillanimous re-
publican papers of Kansas are now
afraid to say a word about the explo-.
sion of dynamite in .Coffeyville. IF
they are so shure the union labor party
/ is responsible for all this. bomb busi-
ness, why don't they say Wichita
Beacon. s..-,
WILL NOT some cranky individual
work against the issuing of the salt
bondsp There are certainly a few un-
reasonable ''Hckers'' in our midst.
Some fellow with nothing else to do
and no inclination to do fought to

THE canard. eagerly published by
the Register and Tribune, to the effect
that, the Lyons Tribune had been clos
ed down on, is given the lie by the ap-
pearance of the Lyons Tribune in all its
earnest :, support of the democratic
ticket. We, copy this week its COM
ments on Frank w. Ross. .-s
The EFFECT of one OF two sore
heads, who could not get things all
their own way in the democratic con-
yention is being counted on by the
republicans as a power for good. The
influence of such men will not go very
far in time like this, when the whole
country is aroused for tariff reform.
Tom WAMPLER, of Stafford county,
has been doing some good work against
the 6. O. p, as the Larned Chronoscope
is SO incensed at him as to publish a
column or SO of abuse Of Mr.. W. When
a republican paper begins personal
abuse Of man you may know that
man is striking where it hurts the
most. -t--fsssU ss
WHEN EASLEY, of the Hutchinson
Neacs, calls Allen G. Thurman a eMon-
umental old Roman ,humbug," then
indeed does the same Ralph Easley
make monumental ass of himself.
The idea of a young Kansas boomer of
the Easley stamp assuming to criticise
statesman like Judge Thurman is, to
say the least, excrutiatingly absurd.
THEY may talk about the physical
infrmaties of The Old Roman, but he
appears to stand the wear and tear of
speechmaking better than Blaine.
There is everything in which side a
fellow is on, for the right, or for the
wrong. Thurman will be doing cam
paign work when Blaine is at home
wearing red flannel rag around his
| throat. lu 4i - .5-s--s-
GIVE us some more stereotyped an
archism with uninon labor connections.
1t is just what we want to elect Judge
John Martin and the entire democratic
| ticket. Union labor men know there
is no chance for state success, and they
will flock to the democratic standard
for protection like sheep to the fold to
escape the ravages of the starving re-
publican wolves.
FROM the affidavits which have been
| flying around through the county, on
the sayings of some of our great (?}
men. some one has evidently lied. Why
don't you put up a man like Frank w.
Ross, our candidate for state senator,
against whom no one dares to utter a
word of SANDER? Varily the way of
the politician is especially the
republican politician. 3Jf buf; sTof - e
WHEN the republican managers per-
petrated the dynamite outrage they
sought to cast odium on the firm OF II.
and L. Vincent and DR.. w. e. Worden.
The act of these gentlemen in promptly
coming forward each with subscrip-
ton of one hundred dollars toward pay
ing the expenses of arresting and con-
victing the scoundrels engaged in that
nefarious business, is not enly liberal
