PERSONAL,

1t is useless to mention the delegates
from Lafayette county. Mr.. Albert
Walker was here and SO far as influence
is concerned, he might as well have
carried proxies for the others. Kansas
City cares nothing tor the outside dele
gates, knowing that they have to come
to the rack, fodder or no fodder. Mr..
Phetzing was here, and when he found
he could not get "Windy Bill" to run
he did not care what happened. | also
saw ''Bart," more Familiarity known as
"Mort.," a colored gentleman of Lex
ington, but whether he came as a dele
gate or a spectator l do not know. MIR.
ii. b. Bascom was here, but | did not
see him in the convention.

Mr.. Bullene says az have never
been a blind partisan, and if elected, az
l expect to be, by the business men of
the fifth district, irrespective OF party
preferences,I shall endeavOr to advance
and carry to a successful issue all
measures that will inure to the benefit
of Kansas City and the country tribu-
tary to it.. My views on the tariff issue
are well known and in due time / shall
present them to the voters of the district
in q plain, every day business way"
Well, now, friend Thomas, thee is
barking up the wrong tree. In this
canvass thee has to be One of these or
one OF those. If thou art with Mr..
Cleveland thou art a partisan democrat :
if thou art with Mr.. Harrison thou art
a partisan republican. Thou must not
monkey with the buzz saw Of popular
opinion. If thou tricst to ride two
horses going in opposite directions thou
wilt fall in the midst with the contempt
of thy fellow citizens heaped upon thee
like u thousand of bricks. If thou
playest for democratic votes by pre-
tending to be not a republican thou ART
gone where the wOOdbinc twineth,
world without end. Be a man
Thomas, even if thou art afraid to meet
thy opponent, John,
.
Fellow democrats, a word. This is
a canvass in which nothing should be
left undone. The protected monopoliel
will do all in their power to prevent {
reduction of the bounties they now
levy on the people. The fat will fry
out of them freely. 1t behooves the PEG
pie to be up and doing if they would
not let this Upas-like poison longer to
o~vershadOw the country. Let there be
a democratic club formed, at once, II

delay. Go at 1t at once. Then let tn,
members make personal canvasses il
their neighbOrhOod, for converts and t.
bring out the democratic vote. We dem
ocats have no money with. which to hir,
men to canvass. We must do the worl
ourselves from patriotic love for ouI
country. Then let us organize, and &,
at it in a systematic way. We hav,
ability and energy in our party every

Said James G. Blaine at Portland
"Trusts are largely private affairs with
which neither President Cleveland nor
any citizen has any particular right to
interfere" This is the doctrine of the
great leader of the republican party,
of the friend, the guest, the apologist
of that oppressor of labor, Carnegie,
of the steel trust. Says Grover Cleye-
land, president of the United States,
in his letter of acceptance:-"Under
various names they [trustsl have been
condemned by the common law for
hundreds of years, and they have lost
none of their hateful features because
they have assumed the name of trnsts
instead of conspiracles." This is the
doctrine of the people and of a cham
pion of the people regarding II OF
the great evils of the day.

THE REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. IL, 1888.
EDITOR misunderstanding re-
publicans held their congressional con-
ventiOn at the ''log cabin" in this CITY,
last Monday. After all the work had
been done, except naming their candi-
date, and the naming of a committee
man, they adjourned to Turner Hall.
The work could have been finished at
the ''cabin" in twenty minutes, and |
can not imagine any reason for adiour-
ment 10 Turner Hall, except that the
delegates all wanted a breath of fresh
air. Mr.. Il. B. BuIlene was nominated
for congress, after Warner and Van
Horn had refused to accept. Dayen-
port wanted it, but he had a few enc.
mics who wanted revenge, and they
gave the empty honor to Mr.. BuIlenc, a
partner in the firm of Bullene, Moores
u Emery, a ''bloated monopolist" in
the dry goods business; a man who has
nothing to do, and is rich enough to
a a race in view of certain defeat.
AN INCIDENT.
The log cabin is supposed to recall
the old days of simplicity, and the
doors were covered with coon skins 10
denote a source of revenue TO the own
er. The republicans had secured a
couple of American eagles, and had
them securely tied over a bin of saw
dust inside the cabin. Alter the crowd
had gotten inside and business was
progressing .one man leaned up against
the bin, beneath of the eagles.
The eagle took a look at the crowd,
then a look at the man below, and then
he Just showed his disgust and contempt
by running that mans clothes.
