The New York Herald dem. reads
Chairman Brice this little lecture:

Mr.. Calvin S. Brice, who is at the

him that the Democratic party is not
to be carried to victory by any political
nickel-plate railway arrangement. 1t
will be more useful for him to hear this
in friendly spirit now than to wait
until November, when he may be COM
PEELED to hear it in a tone far from

Has it ever occurred to our friends,
the enemy, that Indiana has never gone
Democratic, since the war, except when
Thomas A. Hendricks was on the
ticketP Grant carried Indiana in 1858
and 1872. In 1875, Hendricks being
the Vice Presidential nominee, the
State went Democratic. In 1880 Hen.
bricks was not a candidate and Indiana
cast her vote for Garfield. In 1884 the
Democrats again carried the State,
Hendricks again being the nominee for
Vice President. And now the Hen
bricks family are heart and hand against
Cleveland, so the prospects for Dem
ocratic victory is very slim.

In every city in agricultural Kansas
there should be located manufacturing
establishments that would give employ
ment to operators. The wants of these
working people create demand for
food. clothing and shelter, and the pro-
ducts of the farm will be ever in de-
mand. Nothing will be wasted in
transportation and the farmer and
