A Letter of Congratulation.

q Mansfield, 90. Nov. 18th, 1889.
d. r. JONES, Esq, Great Bend, Kan.
DEAR FRIEND:-I am writing thus
early after the election to congratulate
you on your splendid victory of which
l am assured from advices there. L
have been more anxiously awaiting the
result of the election there thar you
may have thought. 1 can but feel an
interest in democrat wherever I find
him and the most embarrassing thing 1
had to guard against when in your
county was to prevent myself from
going off -democraticly speaking to
the detriment of the county ticket.
AS you have already heard Ohio has
gloriously redeemed herself or an issue
square for tariff reform, and it goes
without saying that we have elected
our entire county ticket, and by a ma
jority at the head of the ticket of 1878.
You will see that the Richland DEM
ocracy only needs to nominate a good
man and then slash away and he will
get there.
1 got home on Sunday morning and
got my breakfast and talked the folks
awhile, found them well and anxiously
awaiting my return and then 1 went
down town to the club room and put on
my Ohio democratic harness and went
to work and kept at it till IL o'clock
Tuesday night and then commenced to
jollify and have been at it ever since.
If Townsley had piece of beefsteak
out of my tender foot,'' as he called
me in his Ellinwood communication. it
would be more comforting to his polit-
ically hungry bay window than the slice
he got out of the election in Barton
county. God bless him and his COM
munlcation, and may it at each reading
be source of comfort and in some
manner dispel the gloom that pervades
his unhoIy republican sanctum. But
have said more than intended on this.
Our victory in Ohio goes further
than governor. 1t means a United
States senator to succeed Payne. for
we have gotten majority in both
branches of the legislature and it
means a redistricting of the state both
for congressional and state senatorial
purposes. will send you copy of
our county paper.
Please communicate my heartiest
congratulations to each of the ticket.
and especially to Messrs. Kramse.
StrOthman and Wilson. Franks medi-
cine did drown each one of the sssons
of guns" of the opposition.
Again congratulate you each and
all. forgot to mention Mr.. Markey.
Remember me kindly to him. do not
remember of meeting the candidates
for coroner and commissioner.
Yours truly,
n. NJ. WOLFE.

Well, now we've done it.
Great Bend and Pawnee Rock de-
feated the county ticket.
There are quite a number of demo

Is per cent. more wheat in this fall
than last year. The harvest will be
immense if the spring is favorable.
The town of Clafin can claim the
pennant for shipping the most wheat
OF any town in the county this fall.
The republicans of Barton county
have got to attend strictly to business
and not go off at tangent on account
of little troubles if they expect to elect
county ticket.
1t strikes us that Great Bend re-
publicans hardly deserve recognition
from the rest of the county after such
large number of their ranks have
gone over to the democrats. We are
in favor of supporting candidates from
precincts where the party remains
faithful in time of need.
Rice county is republican by good
big majority, yet she gave the indie
pendent candidate for judge severa-
hundred majority. The probabilities
are that she would have treated a
Barton county candidate for senator in
the same manner. For unlimited
greed and ''dog in the manager" actions
commend us to the so-called republicans
of Rice county.
