David P. Kuhn for Senator
From Dickey County.

Next Legislators.
1t was an animated scene that
met the eye Of the spectator, in
front of the court house in Ellen
dale, at about ten o'clock OH the
morning of the Both of September,
1890. The good and true Republi-
cans from far and near had gathered
at the capital to express theiri views
and cast their little ballots Ifor the
men of their choice. Numerous
were the candidates, far more nu-
merous than the offices to be filed,
and We regret, as probably do sew
eral people at this time, that there
were not Offices enough to go around.
They were all good men, but some
one must be defeated and submitting
gracefully is the order of the day.
The various knots of button-holsrs
broke up about half past eleven,
aud the convention was called to
order by w. H. Rowe. of Monango.
Mr.. c. A. Baker, of Cakes, was
elected temporary chairman and
proceeded at once against the noun.
tain of work piled up before the
convention. The convention then
elected H. c. Dole, !of Ellendale, as
its temporary secretary. The chair
then proceeded to appoint the var
ious committees, which were as
follows:
Credentials--Lockhart, Morey,
Lucas, Randall.
Resolutions-Marshall, Dennison,
Shepard, Pritchard, Bristol.
Rules and Order of Business
Northrop, E. r. Kennedy, Bishop.
Permanent Organization Root,
Cawley, J. f. Coon. $685..
In order to give the committees
time in which to do their respective
labors. the convention adjourned
until one o'clock, at which time it
was called to order by Chairman
Baker.
Temporary organization made
permanent. ...
Other committees reported and all
accepted.
A little tremor of excitement now
began to be felt in the crowded hall, I,
as the time drew near for the nomi-
nations. After a speech by all un-
known "Roman" gentleman the
convention listened to the nominat-
ing speeches placing in nomination
for State Senator, D. P. Kuhn, of
Monango, and w. G. Lockhart, of
Ellendale. Result Of informal bal
lot was: Kuhn So, Lockhart 81,
Cole 8. MIR. Lockhart very gener-
ously moved that the informal ballot
be declared formal and the conven-
tion so ordered and Mr.. Kuhn heads
the Republican ticket of Dickey
county. Generous applause attested
the popularity of the winning can
didate and all seemed we'll pleased
with the outcome.
For the first man for the house
the candidates were Allen, Richie,
Denning, Tibbits and Gorder. For
NAL and decisive ballot resulted:
Allen 81, Richie 8, Denning %,
Tibbits l, Gorder 4,
For the second place on the legis-
lative ticket the nominations were:
NJ. j. Anderson, J. S. Richie, B. H.
Tibbits. After informal ballot Tib-
bits withdrew in favor of Richie
and formal vote stood: Richie 81,
Anderson 81, Gorder l, Denning 1,
making Mr.. Richie the second gen.
tleman Oh the legislative ticket.
Hon. S. A. Bowes was then NOM
mated County Judge by vote Of 70
against 2l for, Randall and S for

We can hope TO reach our desired and
wholesome results only through the vital

To efficiently utilize the full force and

Government, and to obtain such informa-

form we must depend upon such re-
sources as are within our organization.
The Supreme Council at the st. Louis
meeting entertaining such views, enacted
sections II and i9 Of the statutory laws,

This is the title Of As page pamphlet,
published by the Kansas Farmer. The
matter was pepared by Judge PETER, edi-
tor Of that paper, and it first appeared in
a series Of editorial articles, beginning
on Christmas day, 1889. The object is TO
help the people out Of their present f.
nancial troubles, by such changes in our
laws and customs as will transfer control
Of monetary affairs from few individuals
to the people themselves, acting through
their agent, then the general government.
The book presents an outline Of a COM
plete system, which the author claims is
practical and easily operated, the govern
ment simply adopting the best existing
private methods Of loaning money and
securing the return Of an equal amount,
tapping off all useless expenses, and CIV
ing the people the benefit Of 1t. II is
shown from actual experience, that the
cost Of loaning money on long time does
not exceed one per cent per annum, and
it is proposed that the people should
have the use Of money at that rate, one
or two per cent higher on short time
loans, both classes of loans on the same
kind Of security now accepted by bankers
and loan agents The author believes
that the plan Of "The Way Out" would
destroy the influence Of the money pow
or, prevent panlcs, help the people pay
their debts, revive business, raise prices,
equalize profits and emancipate labor
Whatever one may think Of the plan, II is
original and we'll worth studying. The
book is being widely and rapidly circu-
lated, the first edition Of two thousand
copies having been ordered before they
were printed. Price: Single copy ten
cents; ten copies 70 cents; twenty or more
copies, five cents apiece. Address, Kan

DEAR BRoTHERs:-In transmitting blank
forms for your May reports rs to
acreage Of farm products, feel that l
cnn not too earnestly impress upon you
and the fraternity the fact that hitherto
speeulators and stock exchanges have so
manipulated the reports Of both Federal
and State agricultural statistlClans as to
make them false, aud instruments sub
serylent TO their own selfish gain, and
have thus been enabled TO sell and realize
lmmense profits on our crops even before
planting or maturity. BY such undue
advantages, milllonaireS have become
common, whilst the farmers, robbed Of
their Just priccs, have grown poorer and
poorer yearly, their farms becoming 40
heavily mortgaged as to soon pass from
their possession. Thus farm products
arc fast becoming appropriated by the
operations Of speculatOrs, and unless this
tendency shall be checked, the next gen
ArAtiOn OF farmers will be q generation Of
leoants- at-wlll,
Under such serious and impending
conditions II is evident that In full de-
velopment Of our strength and q fearless
Enforcement Of those true and patriotic
principles found in the announced teach
ingH and cherished doctrines Of the

Every day a new scandal comes to
light in connection with Mayor Cleve-
lands New Charter government. One
Of the worst in appearance is exposed
today in THE JERSEY CITY News.
The rotten branch of the admins
tration is the Street and Water Board.
1t was generally understood to be the
Mayors personal machine when the
New Charter went into operation. In
filling all the other Offices the Mayor
took the advice of leading Democrats.
and with the partial exception of the
Tax Commissioners, the appointments
have proved fairly satisfactory. But
he insisted on having a Street and
Water Board to please himself. He
has 1t, and it pleases nobody else.
Scandalous negligence and jobbery, if
not absolute corruption, have marked
its career from its appointment down
to the present time. Popular com
ment stamps it as worse-much worse
than the big Four" and holds Mr..
Cleveland responsible as a party to all
its crooked transactions.
Let us glance at the present case.
Shortly after the Dugan triumvirate
came into Office it advertised for bids
to furnish 10, 900 tons of coal for the
Water Department works at Belle,
vile, James Coyle and Edwards s.
Walker were the bidders. The latter
firm was 81, 400 lower than Coyle.
Still the contract was not
awarded to it. Mr.. Edwards
called on the Mayor, who was high
handed and Indifferent. Mr.. Edwards
produced certificates from the mine
owners that he would furnish the
proper grade of coal. He demon
strated his ability to furnish sufficient
bonds to insure his proper perform
ance of the contract. 1t was all no
use. The award was made in the
minds Of the Water Board ring, and
justice had no influence.
Now the facts are before the public
and several questions must be an
swered.
Why was the contract given to the
higher bidders
Who protited by the extra 81, 400
Mr.. Coyle OF who2
Mr.. Edwards ought to go before the
Grand Jury and get these questions
answered. There seems to be ample
ground for the indictment Of the
Street and Water Boards n

Mr.. Kalisch's goody goody bill
about the awful race tracks ought not
to become law. 1t seems to us that
racing is just as bad Oh the twenty
ninth day as on the I~hirtyrfrst, and
just as yirtuous on the fortleth as on
the tw enty-ffth. In other words,
there may be logic in lforhidding
horse racing altogether, but the re-
striction to any particular time is
mere ~pharisaical p~retence.
We are not surprised to find Mr..
Voorhees, favoring the bill, because it
is aimed almost exclusively at a Hud-
son county track, and the worrying OF
Hudson county is a fundamental
principle Of New Jersey republican,
lsln. But we are astonished to and
