he IS POSTED.

In answer to the notice that was ten
dered the editor of the Ford Gazette ty
Petition, the Gazette has the following
to say:
Petition. we understand. made some
allusion to our article on his fight
against anderslice last week, but as
he was not gentlemanly enough to send
us copy of the Democrat. it will be
impossible for us to answer it fully. If
he can afford to run down this part of
the county, It's all right. So far as
anything personal is concerned, if there
was any, we can stand it with the best
of grace, coming from a man who re-
ceived an appointment to high Office,
but when the government found out his
calibre took it back, and who has been
severely ''set down on by the voters
of the county. No wonder Petition Is
. little sour.

With this issue of the Times We re-
tire from its management. During the
nine months past we have been graft
fed to see the Times grow in favor with
the people and become the leading jour
((nal in Ford county. Expecting to be
absent during the fall and winter. and
pot wishin, to be responsible for what
i can not control am induced to retire
from the field Of journalism. I take
this opportunity to thank the business
men of Dodge City and Ford county for
their liberal patronage and support
We owe debt of gratitude to our many
correspondents and friends over the
county for their thoughtfulness and
diligence IN securing and sending in
the news from their respective neigh
borhoods. We cheerful;y recommend
to al our friends and patrons our sue
cessors, Edwards K Mendenhall; these
gentlemen are well known in the county
and are recognized as icing well quail

Homan'S Relief.

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can
not heal, whether arising from physical,
mental or moral sources. The promises
and consultations of the gospel furnish
abundant remedies for all spiritual or
mental woes, and the Creator has stored,
in the kingdom of nature, remedies for
every physical ailment. For ages these
remedies We're allowed to lie dormant,
through the ignorance of mankind as to
their uses, and for ages more, but little
attention was given to remedies for the
peculiar Affections of woman, who was
treated as slave by lordly and then bru-
tai man. and her suffering regarded with
bcastly Indifference In later times, sci
ence and christian philanthropy have
come 10 her relief, devising remedies for
her peculiar weaknesses, which have
been combined in DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. remedy that cures the
pains, aches, nausea; displacements,
wasting and facilitating Affections to
which she is constantly exposed. ''Fa-
vorite Prescription is the only medicine
for women, sold by druggists under a
positive guarantee from the manufact-
urers, that it will give satisfaction in
every case or money will be refunded.
This guarantee has been printed on the
bottle wrapper, and faithfully carried
out tor many years.

HOW INDIANA STANDS.

As great many republicans in our
city have been wanting to know just
how Indiana would cast her electoral vote
this fall and as many have claimed that
it would go for Harrison, Postmaster
Reamer, for the benefit of these gentle
men, sent letter to several post mast
ers in that state, asking them just how
matters stood, at the same time telling
them that the republicans here claimed
that state. The following is few of
the answers received.
INDIANoroLIs. ND, August 30th, 1888.
F. NJ REAAER, Esq.,-Your letter received
in answer will say-ALL BosH-demOcrats have no
doubts about carrying this state by greater ma
iorty than we did in 1884. All signs look that
way. We will have bitter canvass-our folks
are wide awake, not scared bit.
Respectfully,
AQUILLA JONES, p. II.
New ALBANY, IND, Aug. 31st, 1888.
f. NJ REAMER, P. NJ. Dodge City, Kas.
SR:-Your inquiry of the 18th at hand. The
prospect of Cleveland and Thurman is splendid.
They will carry this state by between 10000 and
10000. Republicans are looking blue,
Respt yours,
JOHN 3. MITCHELL, p. VI.

F. II. REAMER. p. NJ, Dodge City, Kas.
Unless some unforeseen element should seiZc the
people of this state, put Indiana dewn for at leas;
fifteen thousand for Cleveland, Thurman and
tariff reform. Taking the changes I knew of in
this city and county not to be generals if they
the result will be greater. Indiana is Democratic
the only thing to carry it otherwise would be
Doodle, and think that will be fully attended to.
Yours very truly.

The republican Achilles Of Ford
county has entered the political arena
For years AFFECT fear has restrained him
from this perilous venture, but he has
hoped the encrusting sediment Of time
would cover and conceal the hideous-
ness Of the past. Vain hope. He will
need more than the armor of Vulcan to
protect him, for he is vulnerable not
only in the heel but at every present
able point.

What They Say of Him.


We take the following clipping from
the Clinton, Mo-, Daily Democrat,
which is published at the old home of
3. F. Milton:
"Mr. B. F. Milton, of Dodge City,
Kansas, formerly of this city, has been
quite successful, both in business ard
in building up for himself reputation.
Honors have been showered upon him
by his party, and he is now, not only
the nominee for elector on the Cleve-
land & Thurman ticket from his, the
seventh Congressional District, but he
is also on the county ticket for the Of
fee Of representative. Now some peo-
pie in Missouri may think these are
empty honors in Kansas. But Mr..
Milton was elected prosecuting attor-
ney of his county some years ago. when
he was not SO well known among the
people, and his chances for election to
the legislature are splendid. Mr.. Mil
ton is splendid gentleman, and his
host Of friends here are much eratified
that he has come TO the front in his
new home. He deserves it all, and
more.

TO OUR PATRONS.

We this week send cat to the "wInGs
And waves" of public opinion, the
TIwEs-DEMOCRAT, a consolidation of
the Ford County Democrat and Dodge
CITY Times. The TINES DEMOCRAT
will be continuation of the Ford
County Democrat, in an enlarged edi-
ton, with more of the matter published
at home, and hence we expect it to be
more attractive to our home people.
We have had number of years exper-
fence in the newspaper business and
we know that there is no better field in
the land than Dodge for live paper such
as the city has not had for many day.
With little brains and lots of energy,
qualities which our neighbors are
deficient in, Ge ought to succeed, ana
If we do not, the fault will not lie in
the fact that we have not made an
earnest effort to so do. We do not
claim to be prodigies in learning or
ability, but we have studied the wants
of our people, and We shall labor zeal
ously to meet those wants. We have two
affairs At which we worship" sour FIRE
side and our gods, F" and when our race
is run, we expect our bones to be laid
quietly to rest on the hill side beyond
the churches. Why. then, should we
not work for our people and ourselves?
In politics the TIMEs-DEMocRAT will
be democratic, has there ever been a
truly good journal which was not?
How can we, who are Of the people, de-
sire to tax our poorer brethren, for
the richer monopolists? 1t is the con-
sumner vino pays the advanced prices
on the articles taxed. and no human
logic can controvert it. We expect to
enlarge our paper after the first few
issues if we can, and wishing all a
prosperous year, hoping to share in the
same prosperity ourselves, we ask the
public to judge us charitably in the
things to come.

Farmers are urged to join IN the
crusade against Protection under
promise of enhanced prices for the
products of their industry when to
existing competition among them
selves is added that Of the royts Of
India and the serfs of Russia. In
one sentence they are told that the
expense or transportation is OF
itself a sufficient protection for the
manufacturer against foreign COM
petition, while in the next breath
they are urged to believe that the
addition Of freight charges to farm
products sold abroad will inure to
the advantage of the producers.
The author of the Mills bill in his
speeches appeals to farmers to
demand free trade, and with its
advent escape in large measure the
payment of taxes to which they
are now subjected. On the other
hand Mr.. Henry George advocates
the same free trade as first step
toward the success of his pet
theory Of centering all taxes upon
land.
No intelligent voter should be
misled by any of these conflicting
pleas in behalf of the British
policy. Their inconsistency be-
trays the weakness of the cause
they are designed to promote, just
as the unanimous desire Of foreign
tradesmen and manufacturers
indicate a selfish object on their
part. The prosperity of our
country under Protection is the
best evidence of the wisdom of
its continuance. Let these be
needed.
