Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1889-03-07

MISUNDERSTANDING it is conceded to
be to the best interests OF the city TO
keep politics out of the city elections
our republican neighbors have began
to show their hand by passing resolu-
ton at recent club meeting to the
effect that ''the republican party should
hold delegate convention for the
nomination of ticket for the coming
CITY election This action is in keep
ing with the past history of the OPPOSE
ton party. and we are not surprised at
it. The prevailing sentiment is, party
first, and the good of the town or
country secondary matter. If repub-
licans will permit themselves to be led
by a few scheming politicians the plans
of such schemers will succeed, as the
city has large republican majority.
The only question of Importance is:
Will it be we'll to let the slate-hXers and
political schemers have the manage
ment of the city? If no interest is
taken by the voters outside Of the few
who generally lay the plans in such
matters, the plans will ''pan OUT salts
factorily to the manlpulators, and the
election OH Ayril I'd will be for politi-
cal capital, and not for the good OF the
city,

BAKTON county is not represented
by simply ''yes and no" representa-
tives. She is represented by men who
are in harmony with the political COM
plexion of the state and are recognized
in the legislative councils and their
advice is sought after and listened to
with interest, which is more than would
be the case were we represented by
democrats. Furthermore these repre-
sentatives are i'll nOlmanner whatever
under any obligations to either the
editor of the DEMOCRAT or AdUecdte.-
Great Bend Register.
Yes, there can be no doubt of it,
Barton cOunty's representatives are i'll
harmony with the political complexion
of the state, and are recognized in the
legislative cOuncils-by the very few
gentlemen who know them, but as to
their advice being sought after, well,
we don't know, neither dose the Regis
ter. But we do not doubt their receiv-
ing as much recognition as would able
and energetic democrats in that august
body of ''repubs." We are glad to
learn that the Register man does not
blame us fer participating in placing
those Ives and no" gentlemen where
they are. We want that particular
point emphasized; we are not to blame
in any way for their being there
EllinWOOd Adrocte.
AND, thank goodness, the DEMO
Graf did not assist in putting the
politically harmonious gentlemen there.
That they were recognized because of
their ''harmony with the political COM
plexion of the state'' is great feather
in their hats, indeed; and as that was
the greatest element of merit they
possessed the people are not so greatly
disappointed as they would have been
had the gentlemen held greater claims
for recognition. AS to our representa-
tive, we believe he worked honestly for
the good Of his county, and made the
most of the political recognition

young man who has no other means OF
livelihood than the product of his labor,
spending his days loafing on the cor
