The Abilene Gazette in the Hands of a
New Syndicate.

ABILENE, May 5.-The following an
nouncement will be made in tomorrow's
issue of the Gazette:
In November of 1887 the propretors of
the Gazette, for purely business reasons.
offered to dispose of it to syndicate of
gentlemen, Democrats, for a stipulated
sum of money. This offer, after full
and thorough investigation, was accepted
upon certain conditions. An arrange
ment was entered into between the pro-
prietor of the Gazette and the gentlemen
in question by which the Gazette and all
its franchises were to be transferred to
them, and by them to be controlled and
operated as Democratic paper. Under this
arrangement the syndicate agreed TO pay
specified sum of money within a reasonable
time. Relying upon the pledges given by
these gentlemen, charter was obtained
and a board of directors elected, their
names being published at the head of the
editorial page where IT has since remained,
and the Gazette by this arrangement be-
came Democratic paper. After waiting
patiently for the gentlemen TO make good
their word, to keep their often neglected
promise and to redeem their pledges, and.
discovering at this late day, that, for
reasons known to themselves, they are I'M
willing to do so, deem il both just TO my.
self and to the public generally, 10 state
that can no longer afford to await their
motion, and have decided to transfer
the control of the Gazette
as Democratic paper to another syndi-
cate OF gentlemen who signified their will
ingness to assume its control, and the
necessary financial obligations which il
involves. From this date. then. the Ga
zette, as the only morning Democratic
daily in Kansas. will, under the exclusive
control of a new set of gentlemen. the re
lation of the old board having terminated.
the Gazette will continue TO support the
administration. the denomination OF
President Cleveland and everything else
that will subserve the best interests Of the
Democratic party, both in Kansas and the
nation

THE real and true issue laid down by

THE real and true issue laid down BY
your Caesar is whether we shall surrender to
a power that has never availed to conquer us
by shot or she'll but is attempting to do so by
insidious creeping on our commerce under
various DISCUSSES, such as free trade, fair trade
and reciprocity. AS to free trade we leave
that to Mr.. Cleveland to settle, and, if the
people stand by Nero, let him fiddle while
Rome burns. AS to fair trade, that has bad
sound-a sound Of the snake charming the
bird AS to reciprocity, we will and can af.
ford to reciprocate with any country that will
give US in exchange for something we pro-
duce, and they do not, something that they
produce and we donot. But, in this exchange
we want the balance oftrade on or side, and,
if over-Producing cheap labor continues, and
they don't like that kind of a swap, they can
manage to get along without our surplus pro-
ductions and we can continue to get along
without theirs.
AS to Mr.. Cesar Nero Cleveland he is the
most dangerous man this Union has ever had
in the Presidential Chair. He says: 81 am
the Great Am; you, the American people,
do as say. S. T. Republican.

-THE Virginia Enterprise says: To the
Republicans of Nevada belongs the honor OF
making the FIRST party declaration that Re.
publicanism, Americanism and genuine pro
lection are the same. Not afraid to step
from the beaten path in which politicians
would from force OF habit hold the party,
they declared openly what all knew to be the
truth. They comprehended the subject ir
all its bearings. and gave to their candidate:
platform in which there are no loose planks
They spoke out as Americans and have beer
echoed by the party in New York. They
sounded the note which has been taken up by
the largest State in the Union, they have jus
canse for pride in having taken the lead, and
history will record the fact that the true
American. doctrine was first announced by ar
organized party in Nevada.

The AMERICAN POLICY OF PRO
lection.

The following is extracted from the speech
of Benjamin Harrison, the Republican nomi
nee for President before the Marquette Clut
at Chicago, March 2oth, 1883:
"There is another question to which the
Republican party has committed itself, and
on the line Of which it has accomplished, a:
Ibelieve, much for the prosperity Of the Re
publican party is pledged and ought to bt
pledged to the doctrine Of the protection c
American labor. (APplause believe tina
in so far as our native inventive genius
which seems to have no limit-our produc
tive forces can supply the American market,
we ought to keep it for ourselves. And yet
this new captain on the bridge seems to con-
graduate himself on the fact that the voyage
is still prosperous Notwithstanding the change
of commanders; who seems to forget that
the reason the voyage is still prosperous is
because the course Of the ship was marked

a view Of changing the sailing course OF the
old craft, but it has seemed 10 me that he had
made the mistake Of installing the fash light
of some British lighthouse for the light ofday.
daughter don't intend here tonight in this
presence, to discuss this tariff question in any
detail. only want 10 say that in the pas
sage Of what is now so aippantly called the
war tariff, to raise revenue to carry on the
war out of the protective duties which were
then levied, there has come to this country
prosperity and development which would
have been impossible without it, and that
reversal of this policy now, and at the sug-
gestion Of Mr.. Cleveland according to the
line Of the blind statesman from Texas mills
would be TO stay and interrupt this march Of
prosperity on which we have entered. ZAP.
plause.l am one Of those uninstructed po-
litical economists that have an impression
that some things may be too cheap; that
cannot find myself in full sympathy with this
demand for cheaper coats, which seems to
me necessarily to involve cheaper man and
woman under the coat. (Applause.) be-
1ieve it is true to-day that we have many
things in this country that are too cheap, be
cause whenever it is proved that the man or
woman who produces any article cannot
get decent living out Of it, then it is too
cheap"

REPUBLICANS.

The time is near at hand when the people
Of this county will be called upon to select a
a set Of State and County officers for another
term. There are good men already on the
State ticket, and it behooves the Republicans
Of this county to put ticket in the field that
will win. 1t is conceded by the best hgurers
in the Democratic party that this county will
be Republican this year by majority Of from
60 to 50, and some even figure it as high as
100. Two years ago clean sweep was
made by the Republicans because a good,
sound ticket was put up. We do not say
that the Democrats did not have good men
on their ticket. They did. But it was a
clear case that the Republicans outnumbered
the Democrats. They outnumber them thi;
year, and we predict that they will win thi.
year as they did. two years ago. A week
from to-day the primary election will be hello
to elect delegates to'the County Convention
and it is is TO be hoped that a set OF delegate.
will be selected from each precinct in the
county that will 60 unpledged to the Con
vention, and there select the best men for thu
ticket. A ticket that is as strong this yea
as the one two years ago will meet with III,
same success. There is no trouble in select
ing such ticket if delegates will act OF
their own convictions in the matter.
