EOR srATE sENA1nR

The democratic senatorial conyen-
ton for this the thirty eighth, district,
at COldwater, last Thursday, nomina-
ted, by reclamation, as candidate for
the state senate, Hon. VIM. II. Carter. of
Comanche county. Had the entire
district been searched, better selec-
ton could not have been made.
Mr.. Carter was born in Virginia
where he received an academic educa-
ton. He moved to Lafayette county.
Missouri, about twenty years ago and
engaged in teaching and farming. In
1850 he was elected to the Missouri
| legislature and in 1882 he was re-elect-
en- without opposition and was made
chairman of the most important COM
mittee of the house, that of ways and
means. AT once he took the position
of leader of the house. Being a practi-
cal farmer and stock-raIsei, he was the
champion OF legislation looking to tile
control of railroad rates, grain eleva-
tor charges and other matters that were
then vital questions.
49, AAeAo ONOh AOOhllllCQ viii lllC llNC
stock interests of Southern Kansas
since 1879 and three years ago became
the owner of valuable land in Comanche
county and two years ago, he moved
from Missouri to his farm hear Cold
water where he now resides with his
interesting family.
Mr.. Carter is high-minded Christian
gentleman; he is an educated man,
thoroughly versed on the political issues
of the day; he has few superiors in this
section of the state as political de-
batter and our prediction is that he Will
prove satisfactory as a candidate not
only to every member of his own party,
but that he will receive the support of
all independent thinkers who are in
favor of tariff reform as indicated by
Mr.. Cleveland's message; who are op-
posed to legislation solely in the inter-
est of trusts, banks and monOpolIes.
Mr.. Carter is one of the most COM
panlOnable of men: he is generous and
warm-hearted; he is scrupulously honest
in all his dealings; he is loyal citizen,
an enthusiastic Kansan and thoroughly
identified with the interests of his dis
trict.

The San Francisco papers are TO-
California first and their parties after.
ward. The Examiner referringtO Har.
ris0ns nomination says that lit is no
wonder that Mr.. DeYoung and General
Dimond warned the delegates at Chi
cage that the nomination of Harrison
would mean certain defeat In the
Pacific States. California has never had
an opportunity to show Enthusiastically
her opinion of a pro-Chinese candidate.
In 1882, when Mr.. Estee was defeated
by over 1900 majority and the repub-
leans lost all six congressman, the
blow at the eastern republican policy
had TO be struck over the heads of local
candidates who had worked on our side.
This year there will be no such difficult
ty. We shall have a square chance at
one OF the men whom California repub-
licans In 1882 swore never to FORGET.
November will show that on this sub
ject we are Californians before we are
partisans.

The policies of the two dominant par
ties have been enunciated by their con-
ventions and it now remains for the
masses to determine the policy each
member of the body polite will sup
port. The present campaign must,
necessarily, be fought out on principles.
The democrats say cheaper blankets
and necessaries Of life; the republicans
say cheaper whisky and tobacco and a
prohibitory tariff. Between the two
tie voter must choose. There can be no
lodging. The platforms are plain and
easily understood.

WHICH WAY?

1t is TO be athoughtful campaign, and
the stump orator who starts out III the
stereOtyped fuss and feather style will
succeed in making a fool of himself in
the eyes of the public, says the st. Paul
Globe. The voter who is satisfied that
his individual interests will be promo
ted by abOlishing the tax on whisky and
tobacco for the purpose of making it
higher on raw materials and the necces-
sarIes of life will vote for Harrison and
Morton. The voter who, after giving
careful study to the subject, concludes
that his individual prosperity will be
promoted by keeping the tax on whisky
and tobacco and lowering 1t on his food
and raiment and working implements,
will vote for Cleveland and Thurman.
Never before in the history of the coun-
try has the tariff issue been presented
to the American people in so clear a
light and with such ample facilities tor
obtaining correct information concern
ing it.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR.

COldwater Review: As Will be seen
elsewhere in to-day's Star, the demo-
cratic senatorial convention met in this
city, Thursday, July II, and nominated
Hon. W. III. Carter, of this city, as DEM
OcTacy's standard bearer for TINS seHa-
tOrial district. Mr.. Carter is eminent
ly fitted for the office of state senator,
because he is competent to deal with
all the complex and intricate subjects
of legislation, from his knowledge of
law, in an able and fOrcIble manner.
He is not only well qualihed to Judge of
the effect of a proposed law and able to
frame a bill so as to meet all the re-
quirements of our constitution, but he
will be an advocate and good debater
on any question which may arise. De
is known to be entirely honest TO his
constituency in the discharge of public
duties as his four years record in the
Missouri legislature will show. The
democracy of this district have made a
wise choice and have nominated a man
far superior in ability and intellect to
the corporation lawyer nominated by
the republicans against him. Now
democrats, do your duty and elect him!
