THE PRAYER OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY IN THE NORTH.

Oh Lord, thou knowest our uprising
and especially our down setting. Thou
knowest our sins and understandest
our thoughts afar off. Thou knowest
that we have done many wicked things
in the sight of the people, and that we
no longer have favor in their sight.
Thou knOwest that the negro has for
Saken our part, and that we no longer
can make them believe our campaign
tales that the democrats will put them
back in slavery. Oh that we could pull
the wool over their eyes as of yore, and
get them to put us into power once
more. Thou knowest that the south
ern republicans no longer cleaveth to
us. Thou knowest that the people of
the north no longer have faith in the
"bloody shirt" and that we are be-
sieged on the right and on the left by
''mugwumps''-Thou knOweSt that
Cleveland's message has knocked all
the wind out of tariff tales That
New York is hopelessly democratic;
that Ohio is doubtful, and that we no
longer can count ON Indiana. Thou
knOWeSt how our servants Malone and
Riddleberger responded, and died
in Virginia. Thou knOwest that we
have no leader, now that our ''plumed
knight has been SO ruthlessly slaugh-
tered, and that we people must be
scattered as sheep having no shepherd
to be devoured by "mugwumps" and
weak knees. Now we ask that our
sins and iniquities be blotted from the
the history of this government. Blot
out the name of Joice, Avery, Melon
aid, Mckee, Gunther, and all that
walked crooked in the sight of the peo-
pie, OF sold, or made, or drank crooked
whisky, and oh Lord give us power to
blot out from the book of "Remem-
brance" the name of Belknap, of Hayes,
and the eight against seven. Credit
Mobiler. Star Route contracts and
numerous other wrong doings, and
give us favor with the people. Give us
back the Negro vote and return us
the southern republicans with tens of
thousands of mugwnmps i'll the North.
Give us stump speakers in Indiana, and
orators in Ohio. Give us money by the
million, and above all give us a man to
beat Cleveland for Christ sake. Amen.

POLITICAL AoRosrIcs.

Our friend, Buckeye" of Clarence
township, has furnished us with the
following very neat acrostics on the
political situation:
THE WINNERS.
Cleveland will
Lead the
Enthusiastic democracy to
Victory at the November
Election, so
Let us rejoice that
Another term of
National rule will be by the
Democratic party;
s. that
This honest man will give
Harrison and Morton an
Unlucky race, and the
Republicans will
Make
A journey up the saline stream next
November.

LAST week Mr.. L. f. Craig had all
article i'll the DEMOCRAT to which ex-
ceptiOns have been taken by some per-
sons. We do no propose to enter into
a discussion of the merits of the article,
to defend Mr.. C.. or to criticise him.
Some one, whose anxiety to lair him
self through the press is greater than
his bravery attempts to tear Mr.. Craig
all to pieces through the twilight organ
of this city. The article of this would
be defender of the men who won't
vote for Cleveland" sounds SO much
like a loud voiced street politician
whom we know that we could almost
name the writer, even though he has
not the honesty to sign his name for
publication. AS he makes a personal
attack upon Craig it would be interest
ing to know who he is, and to compare
his record as a man of honor and in
tegrity, or soldier, with that of the
man he SO vindictively denounces. Let
us know who you are, that Mr.. Craig
may have the opportunity of defend
ing himself provided you are worthy
of his attention.

WHY WE DID NOT YELL,

A dude all dressed up, who resem-
bled cinnamon tree in that the bark
was of more value than the body it
covered, asked Wednesday evening:
whats the mattah with you demo-
crats-why don't you hollah for Cleve-
land?" He was told that the demo-
Gratis were holding quiet, earnest, re-
spectacle meeting; that we were OPEN
ing the campaign like gentlemen and
true Americans, and proposed to con-
tinue it. He was told that among
earnest people, people who had the best
welfare Of their country at heart, hip
and-hurrah! campaign would make no
votes; these people want something
better than rowdy yells and crazy ges-
ticulations; they want something bet
ter in political speech thar cowardly
personalities and unfOunded charges;
they want sober, honest and plain argu-
ment, and that is what the democrats
propose to give them. We defy the
opposition to point to day of republi-
can ratification when there was less
mud-slinging OF abuse of party than
was INDUCED in by the speakers last
Wednesday. We defy the opposition
to carry on a meeting of the proportions
of the ones of Wednesday last in a more
gentlemanly and fair manner than
those meetings were carried on. They
cannot do it. We carry with our cam
paign the conviction that we are in the
right and will succeed. They know
that unless excitement is created; that
unless men can be appealed to through
passion and not reason, the republican
argument cannot and will not take
with the class of people they hope to
convert to their faith OF retain in their
ranks.
We would just like our readers to re-
member the meetings of last week and
compare them to the first republican
meeting of as great magnitude which
may be held in Great Bend. Most GER
tainly democrats will be glad to know
that the republicans can do as well as
we have done, if they do it.

A RANK PAIR,
Scott S,

Republicans will be gratifed to know
that Riddleberger and Malone, of Vlr-
ginia, have buried the hatchet, and will
hereafter work shoulder to shoulder for
the good Of the party. While neither
of these men are remarkable for any
thing but creating disturbances, their
personal differences have for a long
time kept the republicans Of Virginia
from working in harmony. Who
knows that Virginia will not give her
II electoral votes to Harrison and Nor
tin ?-RegisteT.
WE KNOW that she will not, and so
does the Register man. Riddleberger
and Malone, while they may be high
muck-a-mucks in convention like the
one at Chicago which nominated the
Harrison and Morton syndicate, are
not considered worth storage room in
Virginia. The item you copied above
is a give away in itself, for it acknowl-
edges that neither of these men are re
markable for anything but creating dis
t,ubances.'' The idea that two loud
and foul mouthed politicians can ac-
complish any good thing by 'burying
the hatchet,' is rather amusing. Is
not that about as thin us the alleged
uniting" of the republican factions in
Barton county? Who knows that
everything is lovely all around and
that Chapman and Townsley have join
ed hands and hearts for the campaign?
