The proprietor of the Democrat
takes us to task for not writing editor
ials; it is we'll known that the manager
of this paper never made any pretense
to being writer or newspaper man,
never having written line for publica-
ton In his life until circumstances
forced him to assume the management
of the Times something over two
months ago, while Mr.. Petition has
had more than six years experience in
the newspaper business as editor and
proprietor, with the exception of the
time he was shut down for want of
funds, yet We are willing to show our
articles against his for the time We
have had charge Of the paper. True,
during the time that Mr.. Fred Menden-
hall was engaged to write for the Dem
ocrat, there we're some well written
articles published In that sheet notably
the article In the issue of Feb. %,
1890, entitled "Will 1t Be Cleveland, +"
which article was written by Mr..
Mendenhall. 1t was written to crafty
the spleen of Petition against Mr..
Cleveland because he did not give the
Garden City land Office to Peter. The
article was extensively copied by the
papers friendly to Mr.. Hill and COM
mented on and credited to the able pen
Of W. +. Petition of the Dodge City
Democrat. Peter showed the fatter-
ing comments of the press giving him
the credit of writing it at every oppor-
tunity but never had the manliness to
say that Mr.. Mendenhall was the writer.
Petition has uniformly fought every
man in the democratic party, national,
state or county who did not bow down
and worship him and he would stick the
knife to the hilt in the back of the most
prominent democrat on the ticket If
he did not think he could use him for
his own personal agrandizement as wit
ness his fight against Cleveland, Judge
Vanderslice and others and his present
animosity against the Hon. Geo. NJ.
Hoover. He says in his issue of June
z, "we are not a democrat for policy s
sake as the editor of the Times Is.
To show the falsity Of that: our friends
know that We have been repeatedly
urged to allow our name to be used as
a candidate for different Offices and we
have uniformly refused while Petition
has always been an Office seeker and
has forced himself on the party and
been defeated when, if he had kept in
the back ground, the party could have
put up man that they could have
elected. These are facts that are well
known to the democrats of Ford county.
The first vote we ever cast was for Geo.
B. Mcclellan and no matter what per-
sonal feeling We may have had against
any candidate on the democratic ticket
we have never allowed it to influence
US in our labors for the success of the
principles Of the democratic party.
Brother Peter has been defeated 70,
two years in succession as delegate to
the county convention both times com
ing in with contest and being ruled
out. The last time he had two votes
one of which is said to have been cast
BY himself.

The Democrats in Washington are
predicting that the next Congress will
be Of the Democratic faith. They
base their prophesy upon the expect
alton that the senate will pass the
Mckinley bill, that the President will
sign it, and that the people will repu-
6iate the measure when it comes be-
fore them. With this bill enacted in
to law the Republicans will take
upon themselves a load that will prove
to be too heavy burden. The ex
preston, "a campaign of education, .
has beer received with sneers by the
protectionists, but nevertheless such
campaign has taken piece. The
people in the last two years have
given much attention to economic
questions and study of them has
not served to confirm them in the
doctrines of protection. There has
been an awakening on this question
among the farmers and the working
men and the opinion prevails that they
will no longer vote to uphold sys-
tenn which impoverlshes them and makes
rich favored few. Congress men will
be elected next November, the tariff
question is to the front and many of
those who voted for the Mckinley
bill, or who stand upon a platform
indorsing it, will feel the force of
''the campaign of education" on elect
ion day.
