If EVERY reader of the DEMOCRAT
hands his paper to a neighbor when he
is through with it, we will get demo
cratic argument before a thousand
more people-and we are not afraid for
every man, woman and child, to know
what that argument is, because it is for
the party and principles which favor
the people of our land.

The best wool years the country has
ever known were the eleven years from
1857 to 1867, when wool was on the
free list. The average price was 81
cents. But the average price for the
first eleven tariff years afterward was
less than 40 cents, and the average
price for the last eleven tariff years has
been less than % cents. Stick this in
the barbaric mouth of the tariff crank
when it opens for yawp.

THANKS are due the business men
of Great Bend for the liberal manner
in which they came to the assistance of
the democratic committee on arrange

grandly successful, from the opening

4. L. CHAPMAN, editor Of the Great
Bend Register, was nominated for state
senator by the republican convention
held at st. John Tuesday. This is a
well deserved compliment to one of the
best and brightest newspaper men in
western Kansas, and shows conclusive
ly that faithful service sometimes reaps
its well merited reward. Of course the
democratic nominee in that district will
beat Brother Chapman, because demo
cratic principles are right and must pro-
vail, but we congratulate him upon his
nomination just the same.-Larned

THE daily "organ' came Monday

The daily ''organ" came Monday
evening and made very graceful bow
to the public; that is, the bow would
have appeared graceful had it not been
practiced a week before in the Tribune;
and still more graceful if it could not
be compared with the wild gesticula-
lions of disapproval of the defunct
Graphic erstwhile INDUCED in by the
religious editor. The first issues of the
paper have very neat mechanical ap-
pearance, having fair appearing adj
vertising patronage, and is well filled
with local news. Politics are drawn
very mild, to start with, and if the pa
per can be continued for any length of
time it will be credit to the town.

One of the least called for personal
attacks that has been made on any can
didate in this county for years, was
that made on Judge Chapman last Sat
urday, by candidate. Yet, the re-
suit of the conventions deliberations
showed what effect they Register.
THE attack ,cas pretty rough, Judge,
and bold, too. The idea of any repub-
ilcan in Barton county opposing your
will in little matter like that was a
regular double-and-twisted astounder.
"Yet the result of the conventions de-
alterations showed what effect they
had" What effect which had, the de-
alterations or the attacks? We rather
think 1.-The result" will best be seen
after the November election.

ELECTION FRAUDS.

Let the Legislature, as soon as 1T
meets, appoint a commission to in
vestigate the election frauds. Let
Golf name three and Fleming three.
Authorize the commission to en-
pioy two of the best lawyers in the
State, and pay them well. Bring
all the facts to light. If half we
hear be true, certain men, very ac-
tive in politics, ought to be in the
penitentiary. Such a commission
would cause about 90 political fu-
nerals and be of infinite value to the
State. The cost would not be over
half cent per head for our popula-
ton and hereafter man of integri-
ty, brains and nerve might stand
some chance for office. This sug-
gestion will not be popular with
professional political managers.

express condition that he be allowed
to expend it to suit himself, which
was granted. When the National
Committee two weeks before the
election sent $4,000 into the State,
Mr.. Camden was the consignee, and
the money was disbursed according
to the pleasure of himself and Mr..
Kenna. From beginning to end,
the campaign was conducted exclu-
sively by Mr.. Kenna and his chosen
friends. If funds were misapplied.
or the party management incompe-
tent, or the organization inefficient,
all of which is confessedly true,
there can be no mistake as to where
the responsibility belongs.
Now, fellow democrats, in the
light of these plain, unvarnished
facts, with the fate of the party
trembling in the balance, we ask
you is it sensible, is it safe. is it
justified by any plea of personal
friendship, to restore to power the
leadership which has brought us to
the very verge of ruin? Was there
ever in the history Of the world q
country, which kept at the head of
its armies the commander who in
variably led his soldiers into disas-
! ter? We trow not. Parties, like
armies, however loyal, cannot fight
well under one in whose generalship
they have lost faith.
We do not breach this subject
out of any personal ill-will to Mr..
Kenna: indeed we would gladly
avoid 1t if we could do so without
doing violence to our sense of duty.
We wish to infiict no punishment
for past wrongs, and we distinctly
disavow any offensive intent. But
this is matter in which the future
of the party is too profoundly in
volved to justify silence. 1t is a
problem which confronts the party,
and must be dealt with frankly and
fairly. Surely, if ever new leaders
and new methods were demanded by
the exigencies of the hour, they are
demanded nov; and upon this, we
fmly believe, the salvation of the
party depends.
This subject we commend to the
Democratic members of the Legisla-
ture. 1t is their duty to elect Mr..
Kenna's successor. Let them APP
proach it with deep sense of the
responsibility it imposes, and unless
they are wholly blinded by personal
feeling and intense selfishness, and
if they are guided at all by patriot
ism, we have faith that they will
decide Alright.

the employed is constantly widening
and classes are rapidly forming, enc
comprising the very rich and pow
erful. while in another are found the
toiling poor.
AS we view the achievements of
aggregated capital, we discover the
existence of trusts, combinations,
and monopolies. while the citizen is
struggling far in the rear or is tram
led to death beneath an iron heel.
Corporations, which should be the
carefully-restrained creatures OF the
law and the servants of the people,
are fast becoming the peoples mas
tiers.
e Still congratulating ourselves
upon the wealth and prosperity OF
our country and complacently con-
templating every incident OF change
inseparable from these conditions,
it is our duty as patriotic citizens
to inquire at the present stage OF
our progress how the bond of the
Government made with the PEOPLE
has been kept and performed.

THINGS WE HEAR SAID.

Scarcely day passes that we do
not hear casual remarks on the
cars, in Banks, or on the street
which indicate a condition of things
the body of the people will not
credit. We can only give few IL
lustrations:
A millionaire was asked by his
brother why he bothered himself
about politics. He answered:
"The Id rahble have 200 much
influence. They vii! unmake the
laws out of which / get my profit"
A congressman thus explained
why he was unaggressive:
"Monopolies, like railroads and
trusts, cruelty any man of brains
who fights them. 1 want the votes
of fools and get them By being un-
aggressive"
The drummer for large printing
house said:
Il only come in contact with the
aristocracy as L deal chiefly with
railroad officials and the officers of
trusts and combines"
A fnancier said:
Il don't touch any business I'M
less it is based on milking the pub
lie"
A railway managing Banker said:
"Of course / know this consolida-
ton is contrary to law, but it will
60 through. Are you SO simple as
to think id Legislature can
thwart movement Offering the
profit this Offers
A successful politician said:
"He has good views and is per-
fectly right. He could be elected
were he able to reach the ear of the
people. But he is too poor TO make
4 fight for his opinions and too hon
est to betray them. The men who
manage politics cannot afford to put
forward candidates who are aggres-
sive for legislation opposed by the
privileged class"
A wise observer OF events said:
"Our system has changed. This
is no longer Il government by the
people. 1t is the government Of
the people by those who feed on
them. Men get office, not because
they will do what the non-ofiice-
seeking class want done, but be-
cause while full Of professions they
won't accomplish anything, or else
because they serve private inter
est"

ges upon which he was elected to a
machine called Caucus" which has
been invented by politicians as an
instrument to thwart the popular
judgement?
We implore Democrats to reflect
on this subject. We see now what
others will see four years hence.
Gentlemen, our party has far more
to fear from inventions such as the
Caucus than it has from Republl-
can ideas. We give it as our delib-
crate opinion that the man or men
who now display the nerve to repu-
diate the caucus fetch will render
a service that the poeople will APP
preciate and reward. Is there not
one man equal to the needed leader
ship?

THE SO VOTERS.

The Wheeling Register has tel
egraph to the effect that j. w.
Smoot, an ex-Sheriff in Boon county,
observed a solid republican vote re-
ported at precinct where he knew OF
many democrats. He found SO men
who said they had cast straight dem
ocratic tickets and were amazed that
they were not counted.
Here is a specific charge. Let the
Grand Jury swear each of these 3S
and indict the commissioners of cleo
ton. Let the Legislature authorize
Gov. Wilson to employ counsel to at
tend to these cases.

THE SENAToRSHIP.
Hinton Independent.

Hinton Independent.
Hon. E. w. Wilson will be can
didate for L. s. Senator. The Gov
ernor has made gallant fight for
the Democracy of this State and de-
serves much at the hands of his
party. He has made the best Gov
enor the State has ever had and
would make a good Senator
No thinking man can shut his
eyes to the fact that the money Pow
er, (Ralroad Corporations, Trusts,
and fairfield millionaires, are so
shaping legislation as to concentrate
property in the hands of the few.
The need for men, whose interests
and sympathies are with the unSr-
ganized masses in this fight with
Monopoly, is urgent, pressing and
imperative. There are some men
so constituted by nature that they
cannot betray a trust committed to
them by the people. They are
''made that way" Wilson is one of
these men. He has ambition; but
it is an ambition to lead in fight
for the protection of the masses
against a money-power aristocracy.
On this point he is as true as the
needle to the pole. He may be too
aggressive and too headstrong but
his mistakes will be on the right
side. He is exactly the kind of man
the jaw Gould class are most afraid
of and most anxious to keep out of
the Senate. If we had even three
men like Wilson in the Senate, the
Railway Kings would not dare try
to repeal the Interstate Commerce
bill. 1t is to us the most astonish-
ing feature of the situation that the
thinking men of this country don't
realize the money value to them of
the services Wilson would render in
a place like the Senate. The cir
cumstance that the MonOpolists and
their pensioners and their dupes are
all against such men: the circum-
stance that the millionaire influence
is busy to keep them out of office:
the circumstance that our most sue
cessrul politicians are not aggressive
for the legislation most popular
with the notwithstanding class,
ought to be sufficient to open the
ewes of the masses.

WHEELING, Nov. "a, 1884.
Editor W. IA. Democrat.-I see
in recent number of the Wheeling
Register what purports to be an in
teryiew with Senator Faulkner, in
which he, in referring to the West
Virginia election, says "the Legisla-
ture is safely Democratic, and Sena-
tor Kenna's election is assured =,
Now it strikes the mind of the aver
age observer of political events in
this State, that the oracular an
nouncement Of the Junior Senator is,
to say the least, not in very good
taste, taken in connection with the
political disaster that has so recent
ly befallen the Democratic party in
West Virginia, q disaster which was
brought about by political methods
and management that enable the
oracles of the Ring to announce in
advance what the Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature will be ex-
pected to do; but Senator Faulkner
is living example that the Demo.
cratic members do not always ratify
the edict of the bosses, and it is to
be hoped for the sake of the future
welfare of the Democratic party, that
the prediction of oracle Faulkner
will not be verified by the next Leg
islaturc. Our party in this State
sadly needs rest from the domino
ton and leadership Of Camden, Ken
ma, Faulkner ct id genus omne their
leadership, has led us without ques
ton to political ruin almost, and the
prevailing sentiment in many parts
of the State is, if West Virginia is
ever again to be placed in the ranks
of Democratic States, there must be
q change Of leaders.

This must be mistake, Golf is a
very shrewd politician. Mr.. Mena

three years ago issued CIRCULAR

Our adyices satisfy us that either
Morris of Richie or Scott Of Wheel
ing will be president of the Senate.
II Golf be Governor and is elected to
the L. S. Senate, then Morris or Scott
will be governor of West Va. Here
is the fruit OF Machine politics. Ken
ma and Camden promulgated the doc
trine that a member Of the Legisla-
ture must violate the pledges he gave
to voters and obey the Caucus: they
declared that 4 caucus decree is more
binding than pledges on the faith of
which a man is elected: they ruled
out all who refused to accept this in
famous doctrine Here then is the
result of their work. Gentlemen, how
DO you like the result you have
brought? BY all means reward Ken
na for making Morris governor. Tru-
ly, the men who produced our present
condition deserve every honor cur
party can bestow.

Coz. CHEW is, in our judgement,
the best man for this place but
Sprigg undoubtedly is the next best
man. We don't want q railroad
atty: we don't want q speaker who
will permit the railroad lobby to
name the courts. Chew is farmrr
having served two terms is more ia
miliar with the present cOnsid era
ton of our public affairs than any
one without similar experience,
and he has q personal knowledge of
the methods of the railroad lobby
possessed only by those present at
the last two Legislatures: he knows
who to trust and whom not to trust;
you might as well try to move a
mountain with cobweb rs to
shake Chew when he has q duty to
perform: besides he is gifted with
that unusual and mysterious power
that enables one man to keep a
body of men steady at their work.
For these reasons Chew is the best
man for this place SprIgg should
be chairman of the Committee on
railroads:-the most important
post in the next House.
