The now famous speech of Con
tgressman kennedy, delivered in the
House of Representatives, in which
he denounced the United States
Senate for its failure to pass the
Federal Election bill, and severely
scored Senator Quay for the part
he took in the scheme to secure the
postponement of that bill, is to have
it seems, no place in the official re-
cord of Congress. Under the law,
Congress is bound to keep correct
record of its proceedings, but the
House of Representatives have defied
the law. 1t has mutil:tcd its rec
ord and destroyed confidence in its
accuracy, by passing resolutions
expunging from it Kennedy's speech
delivered in the chamber during
the course of its deliberations. Ken
nedy assaults Quay in the most Bit
ter terms, from which we produce a
few extracts:
"Judas Iscariot of 1000 years ago
is to find counterpart in the Judas
Iscariot of to-day. The Judas who
took the thirty pieces of silver and
went and hanged himself has left an
example for the Matt Quays that is
we'll worthy of their imitation.
81 do not know whether the
charges made against the chairman
of the National Republican Com
mittee are true or false, but know
they have been made by journals of
character and standing, again and
again, and L do know that in the
face of these charges Matt Quay has
remained silent and has neither
sought nor attempted to seek oppor-
tunity to vindicate himself of them.
al do know as great Republican
leader he owed it to the party at,
whose head he was to either brand
them as Infamous or to prove their
falsity, or he owed it to that party
to stand aside from its leadership.
He has not done either, and for
this | denounce him.
"The Republican party cannot
afford to follow the lead of brand
ed criminal. He has failed to justi-
fly himself; and, though opportunity
and ample time have been given
him, he remains silent. His silence
under such circumstances, is the
confession of guilt.
can honorable man does not long
daily when his honor is assailed.
He has delayed too long to justify
the belief in his innocence, and he
stands a convicted criminal before
the bar of public opinion under
such circumstances that he should
be driven from the head OF a party
whose very life his presence inn

Both county tickets are now made
up, and the people have the oppor-
tunity to contrast the merits of the
men before them for their suffragcs.
We invite such comparison on be-
half of the Democratic ticket. From
head to tail it is composed of strong,
capable and honest men-equal in
all its parts to any ticket ever placed
before the people of this county. 1t
ought to receive the unanimous,
enthusiastic and earnest support OF
the Democratic party, and we be-
lieve it will. 1t is a ticket that no
word of reproach can be brought
against. Every man upon it is a
man of good character, standing and
integrity. The chances are that our
county ticket will be elected from
"head to foot"

In voting for higher taxes the Re-
publicans of Congress put them
selves on record in ack acknowledgement
of the truth of the charge that their
extravaganza and waste have empt-
led the public Golfers, and more
money must be raised to keep the
machine going. Higher taxes are
unavoidable to make up the deficits
brought about by the general assault
on the treasury made by the present
Congress. Therefore in voting to
put additional burdens on the peo-
pie Mr.. Smith merely votes the pol
icy of h party. The Republicans
represent extravaganza and higher
taxes; the Democrats contend for
economy and lower taxes. That is
the great dividing line between the
the parties

Putnam County Democratic
Mass Conventions

The Democrats of Putnam county
to the number OF about 1900 met
in mass convention at Winfield, last
Saturday, to nominate county
ticket. 1t was one OF tho most de-
termined and enthusiastic conven-
tions we ever attended, and the SEN
timent everywhere seemed to pre-
vail that the gallant Democracy of
Putnam would redeem their county
this fall from Republican misrule.
The following exceptionally strong
ticket was nominated:
House of Delegates. W. w.
| Thomas.
Circuit Clerk. +. Norris.
County Clerk.-R. A. Salnons.
COMMISSIONER. Henslcy.
The ticket is composed Of young
men, and was brought about by the
young Democracy, who seemed to
predominant in the conventions, and
worked like beavers for their friends.
There are no heart burnings over
the result, and all present expressed
themselves satisfied with the result.
and pledged their undivided sup
port to the ticket. The R< blicans
are badly torn up in Pdtnam, and
it is doubtful if thefactions can be
reconciIed.

The revolt against Charley Smith
in his own party, must be appalling
to that gentleman. In another col

Huntington showing the feeling
against Smith in that county; and
the same feeling manifests itself in
this county, growing out of the
same causes. Charley made too
many promises. Farmer Capehart
will retire him with about 1000 ma
iority.

The falling off in the Republican
vote in Maine makes the failure of
the Democrats there to give Speak
err Reed close shave for re- election
doubly vexatious. The official vote
shows that Reed got 500 votes less
than he got in 1884; 1900 less than
he got in 1888, and but 500 moro
than he got in the off year of 1886.
The Republican vote for Governor
is less than it was in 1888. Tho
Maine Democrats seem to have inst
staid at home and let Reeds MAORI

Republicans are very loud in their
assertions that the detection of the
Huntington Commercial ndon't
amount to anything yet the Coun-
ty Executive committee deem the
matter of sufficient importance TO
demand manifesto from Mr.. Gordon
O'Biern and Mr.. Z. NJ Campbell on
the subject. These two astutc poll
ticians declare over their signatures
that this detection of the CONNER
cidt means loss of just two votes
TO the Republican candidate for
Congress. 1t is strange that a loss
so insignificant should receive so
much attention from Mr.. O'Beirne
and Mr.. Campbell the recognized
leaders of the party in this neck of
the woods.
The manifesto is published in the
Huntington Gazette and is accom-
panied by milk and water indorse-
ment from the editorial pen of the
disappointed but dutiful McIntosh.
O'Beirne and Campbell says that
the Gibsons are only kicking be-
cause they didn't get Office, and de-
clare that all things are serene and
that the Indianola stove will con-
Time to fry out the griddIe cakes of
patronage at the old stand. McIn-
tosh says in his editorial that this
is all so and that he will stake his
reputation on it's truth. 1t would
seem to occur to the average mind
that there is q vast amount of wind
work used in this matter il the Glib
sons control only two votes. Why
these tears and lamentations over
two votes? Why these clamorous
assaults upon two harmless people?
While we don't boast of as much
reputation throughout the country
US Mcintosh claims, we will stake
what we have that "Mac" is badly
mistaken. What is the real signifi-
cant of the Gibson break.
Since the infancy of this city
John. T. Gibson has been one of its
foremost Republicans. He has con-
tinuously published his paper and
has built it up into solid business
enterprise.
He has never before wavered in
loyalty to his party and its honors
have been accorded to him. For
a number of years he was postmas-
ter at this place, and he has fro
quentIy been his party's nominee
for Mayor. Nobody questions his
Republicanism to-day. His fight
against Smith is justifiable and in
no wise changes his party. status.
When men say that the circle of his
influence in this county is only two
votes they merely seek to place him
in category of harmless imbecilisy
TO which he docs not belong, and
they are not deceiving themselves
or any body else when they say it.
When the idcs of November come,
and the votes are counted it will be
found that in every district in Cab
ell county c. B. Smith will run be-
hind his party ticket. His most
boastful and presumptuous friends
don't expect his election, by the
people, and the only men who are
really for him are lot of people
who have received Federal patro-
mage ut his hands. They are the
people who nominated him and they
are striving to make up in vocifcra-
ton what they lack in votes.
