A Changed Tune.

Last year the Mckinley stumpers
and newspapers declared that they
''dispised cheapness." They accepted
the presidents pet phrase that "a cheap
coat means cheap man." They pro.
claimed that tax-sustained dearness
was necessary to the payment of high
wages to American wOrkmen.
Aud the American people sat down
on them with the weight of over ,OOO,-
600 majority.
This year. with Mckinley himself a,
their head, they have changed their
tune. They point to cheap sugar
made cheap by taking off the tariff tax
as their great achievement. And
they parade carfully selected list OF
other articles which they claim are
cheaper than formerly.
If taxes cheaper articles, why die
they stop at 80 per cent? Why no,
make tariff of 100 per cent. or higheri
Do they expect the American voter te
believe that, while untaxing sugar has
made it cheaper, taxing still higher
clothing, food fuel, glass, crockery and
other necessaries has likewise made
them cheaperY
The American voter is not such q
fool as the eMcKinleyites take him to be
Ii In any case of increased duty the
price of the article has not advanced
than the law has failed of its purpose
If the object of protection be not t.
compel importers and to enable hom.
manufacturers to charge a higher pric,
thnn they would without it, then it ha.
| no object.
The twOrse-thau-war tariff must go
| New York World.

Jedge Waxem's Political Proverbs.

Glory don't pay campane expenses.
a campane speaker on the stump
amt like a man on the witness stand
A tariff bill sometimes blows out at
the tetch-hole.
1t is easyer to be honest in offs than
it is to be honest gettin' thar.
A politicIe pulls worth money to the
man that's got it.
Some patriotism needs disinfectin'.
A good many politicle rags is hung
on the color line to dry.
The Amerikin eagle amt got his
groath by good deel yit.
A man that will go back on his party
because it won't give him what he asks
fer, hadent better be left alone with
the campane funds.
\ citizen that kin vote and WON'T
vote ought to be made to vote.
The declaration of Independents has
got a wider foundation than all the
throans of Urup put together.
Public skools furnishes the best
fatening for the Amerikin eagel.
Some men would rather be president
fer fore yers before they die than he
the Lord Almity for eternity after
wards.
No wonder some of our statesAen
air stitch poor material, when you come
to think what wages they git.
Patriotism won't grow in cittys like
il viii in the country.
Wimmin that marrys the rite kind
of men ain t hankering To vote.
It's good sine fer The country when

THE Birmingham Age-Herald, one
of the ablest and most loyal democratic
papers in the south, sounds a note of
warning in the following: Those who
propose to ignore the silver issue in the
next national platform OF the demo
cratic party. take no heed of the fact
that such policy would be calculated
TO give the peoples party dangerous
hold in some of the southern states.

and represent such Townships; also,
that each delegation be allowed to cast
the full vote of the township and that
as the roll is called the chairman of
delegation announce the vote.
FOR TREASURER.
An informal ballot was then taken
for treasurer, with the following result:
r. F. Pleger Sc, Fred H. Miller 27,
Ira Brougher 4, Henry Schwier 2.
First formal ballot-Pleger 81. Miller
25. On motion the nomination of
Dick Pleger was on motion made
unanimous. Dick appeared before the
convention and in a neat speech thank
ed the delegates for their unanimous
action.
FOR CLERK.
Informal ballot-Henry J. Klein 1O9,
J. w. Drake 5, John III. Bement 5.
Upon motion the rules were suspended
and Henry Klein nominated unani-
mously. He was brought forward and
in few short words pledged himself
to the strict and impartial performance
of his duties if elected.
REGISTER OF DEEDS.
Informal ballot-Frank G. Stroth-
man III, A. POwelson l. The rules
were, on motion suspended, and Frank
Strothman nominated by acclamation,
there being not dissenting voice.
Frank also greeted his friends, the en-
tire audence-on lockers and all, with
his inherent cordiality.
FOR SHERIFF..
Informal ballot-Tom Mallory 80, S.
S. Shattuck 5, scattering Is. Upon
motion the rules were suspended and
the nomination of Tom Mallory was
made unanimous. Tom was brought
forwared and introduced to the con
vention, pledging the people he would
be the sheriff when elected.
FOR CORONER.
DR.. A. r. Lash uof Ellinwood was
placed in nomination for coroner and
his nomination made unanimous by
acclamation.
FOR SURVEYOR.
A motion that our present surveyor,
Bernard Markey, be renominated,
passed without dessenting vote. Mr..
Markey protested that he was not
wanting the office, but was willing to
be placed upon the ticket if the conven-
tion thought that his name would add
anything to it's strength.
The convention then adjourned, and
delegates from the second commission
er district met Immediately after the
adjournment and elected A. II. Baker
chairman. There having been but a
few of the delegates outside the city
that remained, mOtion carried that
the nomination of candidate for COM
missioner be deferred and left in the
hands of the county central committee.
NOTES.
The general com ment is that the
ticket is an ELI"
We believe no delegate went home
hurt or disappointed over the result.
The delegates were there for busi-
ness, and it did not take them as long
to do it as it did some of them to get
their dinners.
-Caraway exhibited his unlimited
cheek by o5truding himself upon the
presiding officer and secretary on trivi-
al matters of business, during the
convention.
Chairman Baker surprised even
his most intimate friends by the ex-
cellent manner of his conducting the
convention, and his telling extern
pore speech upon taking the chair.
Mr.. Sipes, of Stafford, feeling
awful lonesome down in his county,

REED congress spent an awful big
pile of money, but if the scheme to
have the government buy the railroads
of the United States. and loan money
on farm security at 2 per cent. per
annum should carry, the Reed profiig-

There is no need, however, to borrow

IFsOME of the former democrats
who are members of the alliance do
not believe that the peoples party is
being led into an endorsement of pro-

and see the stand there taken. The
records will tell the tale beyond any
question.

REPUBLICAN conventions all over
the land are endorsing the Force Bill,
McKinleyism, the billion dollar con-
gress and it's depleted treasury. the
suspension of silver coinage and the
private sacredness of monopolies; there
fore the laboring people have the same
cause for fighting that party that they
had when they showed it under in 1890.

THE democratic administration left
money enough in the treasury to pay
the 44 per cent. bonds now due. There
would have been no necessity for ex-
tending any part of them if the money
collected had not been spuandered by
the billion congress. The cackle of the
republican organs over the vaunted
ability of the treasury to meet a part
of its obligations has a very hollow and
mechanical sound.

fourth of the crop delivered in town
