4 SAD FINALE.

Newton Republican.
When the democratic state convention
at Wichita nominated Charles Robinson
for governor and left Click in his ''cave
of gloom" it selected the ADLER man of
the two, but it went back on what is fig
uratively known as ''pure democracy"
Ex-Governor Robinson is physician by
profession, and was once associated at
Fitchburg, Massachusetts,, with DR.. j..
G. Holland, whose name is familiar to all
students of American literature. He came
to Kansas. headed one of the first free
state parties and stood central figure
until set aside by Lane. He has often
declared that the burning lake will be
the final residence of the democrat, and
from his tongue and pen have fallen some
of the most vehement enunciatiOns of
republicanism.
When, therefore, he was chosen YES
terday on q democratic liquor platform
and was endorsed by republican resub-
missionists to lead the enemy in Novem-
death, the historic patriot becomes pea
nut politician and the brow that wore
the laurel wreath when he was made the
first free state governor Of Kansas was
encircled with bunghole. No greater
fall has been recorded since 'sLucifer, the
pride Of the morning." was pushed from
the shining battlement. Alas. that such
. beginning should have such an end!
The Globe-republican., 1890-09-17

Some of the leaders of the peoples
party seem to be spelling for fight and
now the prospects are that they will get
it. Mrs. Lease, of Wichita, who won
unenyiable notoriety in 1888 as loud
mouthed ranter in the union labor party,
has been making herself conspicuous
lately by her false, incendiary ntterances.
and has hurled her envenomed shafts
particularly at the editor of the Harper
GyatAie, Miss Minerva Walker. This
attack eliminated short time ago in
challenge from Mrs. Lease to Miss
Walker to meet in public debate on the
political questions at issue between the
two parties. The fair editress accepted
on the condition that it should be car
ried on through the press. But Mrs.
Lease. undoubtedly conscious of her
weakness where real argument and facts
are to be presented to thinking people,
declined so fair proposition. The lead
ers of the peoples party and particular
" the Alliance Ad1ucate, realizing the ef-
feet on their party of so inglorious a
proceeding, offer the columns of the I'D
zoeafe, intimating that Mrs. Lease will
present their side, but in all probability
her name will be the only thing from
her pen. But the challenge is accepted
and the discussion will be published in
the Harper GRAPHIC as well as the AdsO-
cute. With the facts and argument and
right on the side of the republican cham
pion the outcome is not doubtful, and
the effect will undoubtedly be beneficial
10 the republican cause.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The fall campaign for the election of
state and congressional officers has been
planned and active operations COM
menced. 1t is about time that the cOun-
ty campaign was also opened up
and the merits of the republican candi-
dates placed in their best light before
the voters of Ford county. Wehave I'M
doubleday as good ticket as the party
has ever placed before the people. No
man can put his finger on name there
and say that he is unworthy of the honor.
No list of candidates could have been
placed before the people better qualified
to perform the duties to which they as
pire. II would be hard to find men with
cleaner records, better citizens, or of
higher moral standing than those named.
Their republicanism is beyond question
or cavil. One and all, they have been
found always in the front. fighting for
the success of the party in every cam
paign. Three served in the rebellion,
doing valiant service, and that the 9TH
ers did not is the fault of nature only.
Their services demand adequate recOg-
milton at the hands of their party, and
we believe their reward is at hand.
Whatever else of malignity may be
beaped upon them, none will dare to
charge them with being members of, or
subservient to the interests of, any clique,
ring or private institution. Though
their nominations were brought about
with remarkable unanimity in the con-
vention, that unanimity was the effect of
a general recognition of peculiar fitness
in each man for the place to which he
was nominated. The republican ticket
is a county ticket. 1t is not selected en-
tirely or principally from Dodge City,
but the candidates are distributed over
the county in the most equitable manner,
every corner of the county being repre-
sented. 1t is prominently farmers tick
ct. Three of the six are real hay-seed
grangers, living on farms. and what is
more have made success of farming.
1t is hardly to be expected that one emf
nently fitted for the office of county at
torney or probate judge should be far
mer, neither are the candidates for these
offices. But the officers which can do
the farmer the most good will be farmers
if the republican ticket is elected, which
it undoubtedly will be. Probate Judge
MOffitt, County Attorney Madison and
Commissioner Sidlow are each serving
in the Offices for which they are named,
and are now better qualified for their
duties than when elected before and
their reelection will be deserved COM
mendation of their past services. We
ask the voters of Ford county to consider
the claims of the republican nominees
fairly and impartially, and honestly, as to
pre-eminent fitness, qualifications, clean
record, good citizenship, fidelity to laws.
acknowledgement from clique and cor
poration influences. If this is done we
fear not the result.
