Major Foust reports a splendid meet
ing at Deer Creek on Monday evening
and Capt. Ewing says there was a
larger audience to greet him at Car
penter's on the same evening than he
ever had there before. All signs are
pointing G in the same direction.

We congratulate the people who at
our recent election wiped out almost
the last yistige of opposition to the
Democracy.-Democrdtic Platform.
In order that the truth of history
may be preserved, we move to amend
by striking out the words, "opposi-
ton to-"

Part of the political talk floating
about the streets is to the effect that
Mr. Boeken is to be quietly withdrawn
from the Democratic ticket and Mr..
Lindsay, the Peoples nominee substi-
tuted in his place. Indeed there are
not few who venture the prophesy
that before the day of the election ar
rives, both of the opposition tickets
will be fused into one. We shall see.

A special effort was made to get out
a big crowd at the Alliance picnic in
Ards grove last Saturday. Notice of
it was published far and wide, the
Ladies Band of Humboldt was hired
to furnish music, and Mr.. Rager, the
Alliance candidate for judge, Pap.
Hayward and all the other local lights,
were engaged as speakers. And yet
our Salem correspondent who was
present says that he counted just 27s
persons, men, women and children, on
the grounds. The tide has turned.

At "a Democratic meeting in Green
wood county last week, Col. A. A.
Harris, the noted Democratic leader OF
Ft. Scott, made a speech in which he
said:
AS much as / hate the Republican
party, and as little as I can endorse its
principles and doctrines, / would rath-
er see them in control of this govern
mept and State for century than see
it in the hands of the Peoples party
for one year. Why, you Democrats
who are with it to-day, within the
next eighteen months will be looking
around for friends to make affidavits
for you that you never belonged to the
party at all.
Phil. Moss, of Moran, was in Gar
nett one day last week when Senator
Peffer spoke there and he says there
were more people at the football match
which was being played there at the
time, than there were in the Senators
audience. He is confident that the
crowd did not number more than 500,
counting men, women and children,
and he says that Republican and a
Democrat who circulated about for
the purpose, each making an indie
pendent estimate, agreed in placing
the probable number ofPeople's party
voters at 10O.s 1t begins to look as il
somebody were ON the run.

Are there any Democrats in Allen
county whe endorse Col. Harris senti-
meets? If there are how does it suit
them to be asked to vote for a man
who allowed himself to be elected last
year to township Office by the Peo.

that party this year on platform
which he publicly and emphatically
endorsed although it is diametrically
opposed to every principle the Demo.
cratic party ever professed, and whose
election-if such disaster should be.
fall-would be proclaimed as a Peo.
ple's party victory?

The REGISTER cannot recall time
during the past ten years when the
Republicans of Allen county had a
better ticket presented to them than
they have this year. 1t is well distrib.
uted geographically, the candidates
on it who seek a second term have
served their first without incurring a
whisper of discomfort, while those who
have not before held county office
have so conducted themselves az pri.
vate citizens as to inspire every con.
fidenee in their honesty and ability
There is not political renegade nor a
professional office seeker on it. From
top to bottom it is made up of clean,
capable men, who well deserve the
support of every voter in the county.

We publish letter this week from
Mr.. G. w. Trout, of Usage, which oul
Democratic friends will find mighty
interesting reading. Mr.. Trout was q
delegate to the Democratic convention
and attended it because he thought il
was called to put in nomination Q
straight Democratic ticket. He finds
that this was not done and he enters
q very vigorous protest. He says thai
