They knew that in thus releasing the
convicts they were riveting their chains
as the most abject slaves this continent
has ever known anything about Yet
they went as cold bloodedly about it as
the task-masters of the convict slaves
about their work of murder. And now
the state is plunged in fresh sea of
humiliation and disgrace by this in
famous system, and will, if all the re-
leased ccnvIcts are returned to the peni-
Tertiary at Ma -hville, have to pay twice
the 100000 per annum, for which the
convicts were sold into bestial slavery.

ANYTHING for an Excuse.

From the Topeka Democrat
Jerry Simpson, the "Sockless States
man." who is now lecturing down IN
Louisiana, attributes the recent crush
ing defeat of the Peoples party in this
state to "the fusion between Democrats
and Republicans" The truth is the in
congrous and wonderfully made-up
Peoples party in Kansas has gone to
pieces, without any reference to a com
bination of the old parties. As an ex-
cuse, however, for the Waterloo defeat,
the one given by Jerry will answer as
we'll as anything else.

A Partisan Viewl

From the Arkansas City Dispatch. Alliance.
Already an ominous rumbling Is heard
among the western Democrats over the
defeat of their ticket in Ohio They see
clearly through the treachery OF the
eastern Democracy, headed by Cleve-
land who would rather defeat his party
in any western state than to tolerate a
rival. And the Wall street Democracy
would rather defeat their party in the
nation than to recognize free silver
plank such as was in the Ohio platform.
Everything is going right for ~.
