to the city's income. We are unal-
terably opposed to issuing bonds
for that purpose, until it has been
clearly demonstrated that we can
meet the present bonded indebted
ness without unreasonable burdens
in the way of taxation.
The democratic party is the friend
OF the laboring man, and we declare
that in our opinion eight hours a
day, and two days in the year, is
enough for those required to work
on the public streets in lieu of la
Dor tax.
We favor the most rigid economy
in the administration of every de-
partment of the government. To
this end we invite the cooperation
Of every good citizen, without ref
erence to past political preferences.
And all work on public streets or
sidewalks, should be on streets
where houses have already been
erected, and not on visionary streets
and avenues.
The committee on candidates re.
ported the names of the following

elected
Mayor-W. A. Dickinson; Al.

G. w. Lindainood, Jack Crumley
and S. Sincox.
Speeches were next in order and
Ike Harr was the first called. He
was cheered from the time he arose
until he reached the stage. His
speech was thoroughly democratic
and was cheefed throughout.
H. H. Carr was called and made
a short, but forcible speech, pledg
ing himself to the support of the
democratic ticket most heartily. He
was opposed to allowing politics tc
enter this election, but since the line
was drawn by the opposite party
the democrats must do their duty
He favored any man for Mayor who
lived in the corporation but objected
to going outside. He also favored
placing the corporation affairs in thC
hands of men that were citizens o
the place and had lived here long
enough to become identified witt
Johnson City.
Robert Burrow spoke next anc
endorsed the ticket and spoke il
very complimentary terms of tn
retiring board.
Mayor Dickinson was called ant
was escorted to the stage amid tn
, most enthusiastic applause. H
made one of his characteristi
/ speeches, and was heartily ap
plauded, closing by asking the dem
, ocrats to stand firm and he woui
r lead them to victory.
]. ]. Adams was next called bu
without making a speech declare
himself democrat and was glad t
be in the victorious party. A motto
to adjourn was next and the crow
dispersed ; we'll satisfied with tn
result of the convention, and pledg

COMMENTING on the late anarchist"
scare, the Wichita Journal, an in
dependent paper with republican
leaning, says:
"The republican party of the state
may find it's Burchard in no less Incl
dent than the publication of the great
anarchist (?) exposure at Winfield
s'The Winfield Anarchist expose
was republican campaign trick which
will surely act as a boomerang. No
democratic papers published the matter,
and as it apparel simultaneously in all
the republican dailies, it's motive is too
apparent to have the effect desired.
Another break of that kind and it will
be, good bye Mr.. Humphrey"
1.-THE republican state press sprung
that Winfield anarchist story on the
public all in one day. From the fact
that it had to be sent around and dis
tributed to the various Offices days be-
fore the publication, and judging from
it's simultaneous appearance, and from
the fact that none of the papers said
anything about it in advance, plainly
shows on the face of it that it was a
preconcerted republican campaign docu-
mont."

Is it a Republican Plot.

After the Cofeyville bomb explO-
sion and the facts begin to develop
which show large sized republican
scheme to inflame the people against
the union labor party. The first steps
in the plan developed when the Win
field Telegram and Hutchinson Neacs
produced what was claimed to be an
exposure of a diabolical anarchist
plot or organization, with links of evil
dence connecting members OF the union
labor party with the plot. Those links.
however, were not desernable by the
naked eye, and we don't think they
could be discovered by the most power
full magnifying glass in the hands Of
fair minded men. The next step in the
arrangement was apparently to send a
dynamite bomb to a union labor man
in Winfield. This bomb in some manner
became exploded while in transit and
innocent woman and child. Further
developments are awaited anxiOusly,
and if the evidence continues to show
a pre-arranged plan Of the republican
managers to in this manner bring Odium
upon the union labor party, and in do
ing so recklessly endanger the lives OF
citizens, the downfall of such schemers
will be sure and certain. This is, we
know, a fight for political life or death
with the republican party, and though
we are 10th to believe that the better
elements in the party would sanction
such a mode Of making campaign
thunder, we do believe there are mer
in the republican party who are SO in
sanely bitter against the union labor
elements, which will show many thou
sands of followers in the state, thai
they will be tempted to do almost any
thing in this, their hour of sore trial.

HON. G. F. DIFFENBACHER, of this
city, democratic candidate for attorney
general, ON the Kansas state ticket, has
arranged his law business so that he
can put in the rest of his time between
now and election day doing campaign
work. He started out the first of the
week and is now speaking at different
points in the state under direction of
the state executive committee. Mr..
Diffenbacher will make votes wherever
he goes, aud if he could but speak in all
the places where his republican oppo-
nent, Mr.. Kellogg, has spoken, he would
score grand victory over that slow,
veneered, and much over-rated individ-
ual. We regret that Mr.. Diffenbacher
could not have made more extended
canvas of the state, but bespeak for
him success even in a short canvas.
