what Tney are saying in Their
Papers.
Editor Munford, of the Kansas CITY
Times, has this to say, very Justly,
about our popular representative in
congress:-
"The unusually large audiences
which are greeting the Hon. John G..
Tarsney wherever he appears in this
district prove not only the aroused
interest OF the west in the issue of
tariff reform, but they evince as well
that our congressman has made with
his constituents an ehviable record.
that they are proud to greet him aud
that they mean to put him back again
where he can do the most good"
Editor Townshend, of the Troy Free
Press, calls attention TO the commenda
ble action OF the democratic county
committee of Monroe county. Monroe
is probably the banner democratic
county of the state, yet ii is alive to the
necessity for organlZation:-
"lu Monroe county, the democratic
| central committee have met and ap
pointed democrats in all sections of the
county whose duty 1t shall be to form
democratic tariff reform clubs. Here
is II suggestion that the Lincoln county
committee would do well to follow. II
has heretofore been thought that the
campaign in this county is over when
the ticket is made. We believe, how
| ever, that a thorough organization
should be made in every township so as
to bring out full vote in November
Not that ii is necessary in order to elect
| our ticket, but because we NAV, with
the proper enthusiasm, recruit the ranks
OF our party with many farmers who
have been heretofore vOijng the repub-
lican ticket, but who now are begin.
ming to see the folly and error of their
way. Such work can be most effective
ly done by organizing from one to five
good clubs in each township in the
county; then let meetings be held once
or twice month and public discussions
held of all the Leading questions of the
day"
Editor Staten of the Marshall Demo-
crat News, gives this information:
"The Jefferson City correspondent
OF the St. JoseLh Ballot says: THE
Saline county Farmers Alliance, which
is opposed to Vest. yesterday nominal.
ed at Marshall DIR. Abram Neff and
Sherman p. Huston for representatives,
the county being entitled to two.
There are few errors in the paragraph
lquoted. In the first place, there is no
Warrant for saying that the Saline
county alliance is opposed to Vest. On
the contrary, there is every reason for
believing that large majority of the
members of the alliance are in favor
of the re. election of Vest. In the second
place the Saline county farmers alliance
has not nominated ticket. A few in
dependents nominated ticket, Just al
they have been In the habit of doing In
the past. The alliance had nothing to
do with it."
Prof. Rice, the accomplished editor
OF the Galloway Gazette, calls atien
ton thus to some significant facts:
"The census discloses that in the lat
of New York either ballot boxes wer
stuffed in 1888 or the state was coloniz

Republicans were saved by the heav.
increase of their vote in the rural Ills
