The young crowd" of Ohio is for
Foraker for the senate. But the
country cannot afford to do without
the services of John Sherman."-Dis-
patch Oh, yes, the country can do
without Sherman all right enough.
But then it would be pretty tough on
plutocracy and Shylocks to loose so
valuable and plant tool as honest
John has proved himself to be. The
fact is, the country would be in a
much better condition, that is, the
wealth producing classes, if it had
never had any experience with that
class of statesmen. 1t is greatly to be
desired, that them species of states
men shall soon become extinct. And
they will, if the people will it so, and
if they do not it is their own fault.
Let me give you some proof on this
point. ''The Alliance statistician has
labored hard for weary days to pro-
duce this elaborate table, and when
he has got it, and spread 1t before the
people, behold the foolish man knocks
it all in the head with the single ques-
ton, who got the orfices?' The I'M
reasoning, unthinking crowd doesn't
take time to read long explanations
and examine columns of figures but
only inquiries who draw the salaries.'"

the unthinking, unreasoning rabble
act and vote upon other mems judg-
ment instead of their own. That is
line with another idea put forth by
the g. 0. D. that all that is needed is a
good crop. This unthinking, unrea-
soning rabble are like hogs, cattle and
horses; fill their stomachs and they
will be quiet and peaceable. Now I
call upon every man who labors and
makes an honest living, to resent all
such contemplate insults; ard teach
these contemplate lick spItters of
plutocracy, that stomachs full or emp
ty you know your rights and dare
maintain them. I am proud to be a
citizen of Phillips county. She show
ed herself to be above the average IN
intelligence. So that the charge of
unthinking, Unreasoning rabble, don't
lie against her IF there ever was a
time IN the history of Kansas when
our people could honestly give thanks
to the giver of all good gifts it is this
year. Never has there been a more
abundant harvest and such excellent
prices. "-Dispdtch Now I would
suggest to the hay seeds, that they go
slow; and after they have paid off
their mortgages and other indebted
ness, not to go into any fool specula-
tons as they might get left; as they
