Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1890-09-18

Every republican desires to see the
solid democratic south brought to an
end. The methods by which it has
been maintained have met the unqual-
flied disapprObation of all fair and
intelligent men, Hutchinson News,
Aug. 31st.
sPUMPKINvINE, correspondent of
the Pawnee Rock Leader, has broken
out in new place. He thinks it
funny that the alliance does not con-
slider prohibition or resubmission an
issue. Hear him:
"Funny, isn't it. One of the most
important and most needed reforms is
silently passed over by all the alliance
and peoples platforms and resolutions
throughout the whole state. Why is
it? In view of the fact that there is
and has been for some time strong
effort made to bring about a resubmis-
sion of the liquor question and the
additional fact that the short reign of
the o. p saloons in our state had most
demoralizing effect and largely
increased the expenses in litigation
necessary to punish the fllagrant viola
ton of our state laws, this matter ought
not to be passed over in silence. AS a
matter of public economy it deserves a
notice by patriotic citizens and parties.
To evade the QUESTION is dishonest
The resubmission republicans and
the democrats pnt out combination
state ticket at Wichita last Tuesday.
1t is well that they made this move as
it places them in their true light. The
resub. republicans are now where they
belong-in league with the democrats
and the sooner the republicans rid
themselves of this class of so-called
republicans the better for the party.
others we might mention, should no
longer be bolstered up by the republi-
cans of Barton county, oisington
Dispatch.
EASY there, friend Clark. 1t is
not case of republicans ''ridding
themselves of the resubmissionists,
but clear case of the fearless and out
spoken republicans of the state assist
ing in ridding the body polite of such
barnacles as Humphrey, Higgins, and
company. Messrs Banta, Sowards and
many others you might mention, but
won't, propose to follow their own con-
victions and not tag along after the old
crowd of political hypocrits who have
ro,
w. w, Sowards attended the demo-
cratic and resubmission convention at
Wichita. If we remember rightly he
was the gentleman who came in with
fraudulent credentials from Union town
ship, and was made temporary chair
man of the last county convention. II
seems that Mr.. Banta was also a dele
gate in that convention and a Candidate
as delegate to the republican state
convention. This is the standard of the
men that were so LOYAL TO THE PEOPLE
AND THEIR INTERESTS. Such are the
men selected at the caucus in the bust

to the convention.-Register.
FRIEND CARAwRY is considerably
s'put out" because a chairman of tn,
last republican convention in thi
county, Mr.. Sowards, and delegate il
the same convention and candidate fo
delegate to the state convention, Nh
Banta, were delegates to the republi
can resubmission convention at Wich
ita, and will work for the election O
the ticket there nominated. There ar
many surprises and disappointments il
store for the would-be boss of til
republican party in Barton county. AM
he had just as we'll begin now to pre-
pare for an inglorious showing unde
all along the line. There are thousand
of such republicans as Hon. D. A
Banta and w. ". Sowards in this fai
state, and they are bound to have
hearing on matters of Importance, eve
though the managers of the party G
their choice refuses them that privilege
