Breakers Ahead.

The APPEAL believes that never
before in the history Of Ormsby
County has there been 50 much
discomfort in the ranks Of the Re-
publican party as now.
This discomfort has arisen from
a feeling among voters that poll
tics have been run more for indi-
vidual interest than the good Of
the whole party. What grounds
voters have for grievance in these
premises it is not necessary to
discuss here. They feel that they
have a grievance and this fact
must be taken into consideration
before ticket is put in the field
for the county campaign.
Unless the fairest OF fair play
prevails at the coming primaries,
there will be trouble that will SER
iouslY endangcr the supremacy of
the party i'm Ormsby.
The qualifications Of the various
candidates must be carefully
scanned. for il there are any weak
spots in the ticket, 1t will result
in IA very determined attack on
the part of the Democrats
with results which might prove
disastrous to the entire ticket.

THE NATE REPuaLI0AN PLATEORM.


misleading declarations. Its recital
Of the past achievements of the party
is purely deceptive. 1t makes claims
entirely unwarranted by facts, aud
omits from It's recital every blot upon
the record Of the party. If a party is
TO 30 before the people upon It's past
record rather than upon its present
ability and disposition TO deal with
the vital questions Of the hour, it is
important that the portraiture Of that
record shall be both complete and inn
partial and in respect to each of these
requisites, the recital Of the republi-
can committee on resolutions is pur.
posely deficient. 1t begins by this
declaration:
The republicans OF the state Of Kansas now
assembled In q convention composed Of more
than Ave hundred delegates, eaCh county being
represented by duly accredited members, declare
their continued adherence 10 the cardinal prln.
ciples Of the national republican party.
Notwithstanding this it proceeds to
endorse Secretary Blaine's reciprocity
views which are in direct conflict with
the Chicago platform OF 1888. In
that platform il is declared:
The republican party would effect all needed
reduction Of the national revenue by repeating
the taxes ON tobacco, which are nm annoyance
and burden 10 agriculture, and the tax upon splr-
lts used In the arts and for mechanical purposes,
and by such revision Of the tariff laws as win
tend 10 check imports OF such articles as are pro
ducSd by our people, the production Of which
gives employment 10 our labor, and release from
import duties those articles OF foreign production
Except mxuries) the IKE Of which cannot bo pro
duCed NO home n there shall still remain u
larger revenue than is requisite for the wants Of
the government, we favor the entire repeal Of In
tornnl taxes rather than the surrender OF ANY
PART OF our protective system NJ the Joint be-
hest Of the whisky trusts and foreign manufac-
turers.
OF the good deeds Of the party, it
is not our province to complain. We
were identified with it in It's early
history; and served three years in the
union army under it's banner. We
would not wish to blot from It's record |
one fact that has given it a place Of
honor in the history Of the nation, or
dim the luster Of a single one of it's
illustrious achievements. The hon
ored name of Lincoln is as dear to
our heart as to that of any living
American. The names and achieve
ments Of his compatriots we regard
with a pride unsurpassed by that of
any present adherent of the party. |
But the noble deeds of the past do |
not meet the necessities of this hour. |
The conditions Of the present demand |
a change Of the policy Of the past
quarter Of a century; and, in review
ing the history OF party, its good
deeds must not be permitted to OBJ
scure whatever it has done amiss,
Because the history of the republican
party records many brilliant achieve
ments and noble deeds, these do not
justify the wrongs it has done. The
republican committee on resolutions,
in its recital Of the glorious record of
the past, and in offering this as a
claim for continued favors, entirely

offers the old soldiers renewed prom
ises.
It's plank relating to alien owner
ship Of American land is as follows:
We demand the passage Of laws prohibiting
allen ownership OF large bodies OF land
Nothing is said about reclaiming
that which they already possess, or Of
the purchase or ownership of other
industries Of the country.
IL would like to have expressed Ia
vor for the Lodge election bill but
could hardly muster the courage.
1t commends the Legislation Of the
present Congress and that of the last
Kansas Legislature against trusts, al
though every member who voted for
this resolution we'll knew that every
trust in America is now pursuing the
even tenor Of it's way just as though
nothing had happened; and we'll
knowing also that these laws are not
designed for thesuppression Of these
mischieyous combinations.
1t commends the administration OF
President Harrison as Gin line with
republican principles and policy, and
responsive to the demands ofthe peo-
pie" we'll knowing that the policy Of
the administration upon the silver
question, and upon the question Of
finance in general, has been absolute
ly dictated by Wall street, and is op-
posed to the very policy which the
convention itself approves.
How widely it is at variance also
with the demands Of the common
people.
It commends both Senator Ingalls,
and Senator Plumb "for their faithful
and inestimable services" notwith-
standing they are diametrically op-
posed to each other upon nearly all
of the most important questions re-
lating to the affairs of this state and
of the nation.
1t adopts a prohibition plank, and
for it's candidate for gov
ernor a man of whom ID. r.. Anthony,
a staunCh republican and a prohibi-
ZIONIST, says:
We would give the fact that he has never, d.
rectly nor indirectly given aid, counsel or en-
couragement TO the police commissioners Of this
city Qeavenworth,) when II was well known that
they were enforcing the law better than any OF
the large surrounding cities.
It is also known that Governor Humphrey is
well aware Of the fact that the police commits
sOners Of the city Of Atchlson license the sale of
Intoxicating liquors, and that they have practlced
this for the last six years with the exception OF
Intervals Of one or two months at time during
that period He knows that saloons there are
licensed TO run openly at fee OF 800 per month.
The commissioners who license them in this way
are commissioned by Governor Humphrey We
have often demonstrated with the governor about
this, but he has always c0ldlv and bldiBrenty
stated that II was subject over which he had no
control. There are to-day over sixty saloons in
AtchsOn thus licensed, The same or a similar
situation exists In Kansas City, Kansas
We speak from what we know to be true, that
the state officials Of Kansas, for six years, have
not encouraged the officers Of the law TO enforce
prohibition In any Of the leading towns of the
state.

know better than this.
The republican party is rightly &C.
corded the credit Of suppreseing the
rebellion, because the responsibilities
and duties Of the hour fell upon a re-
publican administration but does any
rational man doubt that had Stephen
A. Douglas been chosen TO Mr. Lin
coins place, and had no lived 10 per-
form his duties as chief executive OF
the nation, that he would have WELD
cd the tremendous powersof the gov
ernment FOR its salvation with as true
and loyal purpose as did the immor-
tai LinColn7 He lived long enough
to prove his loyalty and TO give tothe
republican administration the advan-
tage Of bis great influence in the try
ing hours at the beginning Of the
great struggle. While wo accord the
honor where il rightfully belongs, we
must not forget, at this distance from
the exciting events Of that time, that
there were other true hearts besides
those upon which fell the responsible
ties OF that terrible hour. Neither must
we, in reviewing the history of the re-
publican party during that period,
overlook It's crimes any more than It's
virtues. We now charge that the
evils which afilict the country at this
time-the paralysis Of it's material in
dustries, the poverty and suffering of
it's people-the loss of homes-the
forced idleness Of labor-the accumu-
lation of the nations wealth in few
hands, while tramps are multiplying
all over the land-that all these are
to Legislation Of this same
party enacted during and immedi-
ately subsequent to that darkest hour
Of the nations history, and while the
attention OF the people was diverted
by the overwhelming events of the
time. Without enlarging upon the
effects OF these Legislative acts at this
time we simply suggest their names
in this connection. They are as fol-
lows:
/. The exception clause in the act
for the issue Of the green
back currency by which was created
two kinds Of money-an appreciated
currency for the banker and bond
holder, and a deprecated currency
FOR the soldier and for the people.
2. The issue Of interest bearing
government bonds at an immense dis
count for the purchase OF currency
which the government alone had
to create, and enough Of
which was actually created and put
In circulation to pay every obligation
Of the government without the neces-
sity Of single bond.
3. The establishment of the ma
aonal banking system in the interest
of a class and against the interests of
The people.
A. The act for the contraction and
destruction Of the circulating me-
lium.

their disastrous consequences 10 che
industries and the welfare Of the peo-
pie.
But this is not all. This platform
declares the silver law enacted by the
present Congress as "a good step in
the right direction Notwithstanding
it is a retrograde step that carries us
farther away from the free coinage of
silver, which the committee assures
us is 80 desirable, than the law which
it repeals. But we desire 10 invite a
closer scrutiny of this silver clause in
order to show the duplicity of its
trainers and their undisguisod pur-
pose to deceive the people Read this
paragraph carefully:
The practical operation OF the silver act now In
force, recently passed by republican majority,
and opposed bya democratic minority, in both
houses Of Congress, is rapidly increasing the
value Of silver, Is a coed step In tho right dlrec-
ton, but we, the republicans OF Kansas, demand
free coinage OF silver a measure strongly OPP
posed and vigorously denounced by the late
democratic administration. led by exPresldent
Grover Cleveland.
The convention declares itself in
favor Of the free coinage ofsilver. It
next calls attention to the fact that
this measure was vigorously de-
nounced and opposed by the admin
istration OF President Cleveland. Now
look over the paragraph carefully and
see If you can find any reference in it
to that other fact that the same meas
ure was not only vigorously de-
nounced but defeated by republican
votes in the present Congress, and
that it received the support Of the
democratic Senators and Representa-
tives Why was it necessary for this
republican convention to go away
back to President Cleveland's admin
istration in order TO find somebody
who had opposed this measure. II
President Cleveland is subject TO CEN
sure for his opposition, how about the
republican members of the present
Congress7 Who does this conven-
tion expect to deceive by this du-
plicityl
But we cannot refrain from refer
ring to a fact brought out in the dis
oussion Of this question in the con-
vention.
The following resolution was the
immediate subject for discussion:
Resolved, That we favor and demand a repeal
Of that section Of the present silver coinage act
which provides that when the contract 20 specl-
iles debts shall not be paid In silver certificates
issued under the act.
1t was decided that it would not do
for the republican convention OF Kan
sas to record its disapprovsl of the
acts Of the republican majority in
Congress and its approval OF the po-
sition of the democratic minority by
the adoption Of this resolution. The
question of the right or wrong Of the
proposition was never suggested by a
single member of the convention who
participated in the discussion. The
only thought presented was as to the
propriety of expressing opposition to

That Extravagant Habit.

Commenting upon an editorial in q re-
cent number OF the AGRICULTURIsT con-
corning the extravagant habit our people
have fallen into Of going North during
the Summer, the Cocoa Public Spirit
says:
eff people want their section to prosper
let them stay with it. Ii they want their
place to improve let them stand by it.
"The worst failures ever experienced in
orange culture have been by those who
have left their groves in charge of some
incompetent and gone North for the sum-
mer.
But our people are improving. They
are learning in the school of experience.
"They are beginning to realize that their
costly summer extravaganza is discount
ing not only their income but their COM
fort, pleasure and enjoyment.
''They have decided to stay at home
and board in the samep place. tits cheap
err and pleasanter al around"
There is another bad feature about
this matter which our people apparently
have not considered. When Florida peo-
pie leave their homes and go to the North
to spend the summer the natural infer

ence OF the people among whom they
stop, is that Florida is uninhabitable in
thesummer; that it is bake oven, pest
hole, and what not. 1t is no more than
natural that they should form this idea
They think that il Florida was pleas
ant place to live in her people would
not leave it and come to place which
they know is far from pleasant.
Our advice is to stay at home. 1t is
certainly more pleasant in Florida dur
ing the summer-and in fact the year
round-than in most of the places in the
United States
Stay at home because in your absence
your property will be neglected.
Stay at home beause q journey North
is unpleasant, it is expensive, it is I'M
wholesome.
Stay at home because by leavingit you
cast a reflection upon the most glorious
climate in the world.

ACCORDING to Professor Joseph Rhodes
Buchanan's predictions, inside Of
twenty-four years the whole Atlantic sea
coast will be inundated, and such cities
as New Y ork, Baltimore, Savannah and
other cities will be literally dumped into
the sea.
