EDITORIAL COMMENT.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Tom MALLORY should carry Home
stead township with big majority.
Boys, see to it that he does-and keep
the rest of the ticket even with him.
VorE for Henry Klein for county
clerk. He is the best man for the
place now in the race. He viii not be
found prostituting his Office for per-
sonal gain o. amusement.
LET THE fight on Tuesday next be
open. square and uncompromising
Democrats do not need to be cautioned
against ''bushwhacking''- do not
do it that way. Our platform is plain,
our candidates the best, and our cause
is just. Forward to the charged
By CONCENTRATING their fire upon
Frank Strothman, the democratic can
didate for register of deeds. the opposi-
ton acknowledges that he is the best
man for the place. Do not let their
"third term" bugaboO scare away a
single vote that belongs to Frank.
FRANK STROTHMAN is &. man who is
above resortlng to any of the little,
mean, contemplate trickery in order
to gain votes. He never circulates in
sinuating stories, but treats his oppon-
ents as gentlemen at all times. He
should receive the vote of every man
who reads this paper, and everybody
else to boot.
DEMOCRATS have no occasion to
trade a single man on the ticket. We
are fighting for principle and expect to
win all along the line. Let Barton
county democrats rejoice next week
with Iowa democrats, and Ohio demo-
Gratis, and Pennsylvania democrats, and
New York democrats, and-ad inf
nituGa.
1T TAKES queer people to make up
world. Down in Hiawatha, Kansas,

of the London Gaity Girls, a comic
opera company, and gathering up rakes
and pitchfOrks attacked not the Gaity
Girls, but the pictures on the bill
boards. scraping them off and tramping
them under foot i'm feminine indigna-
ton.
IT Is possible that among all our
great statesmen, from Washington
down, men who loved their country
better than their lives, men who spent
their lives studying the science of gov
ernment and adopted that knowledge
to the establishment of this republic,
and that the universal prosperity of all
classes, never once thought of the land
loan, sub-treasury and other visionary
schemes of the peoples party? Strange,
but true.
NeighbOr Stoke is slick one. He
copies a short comment of ours on F.
G. StrOthman but only gives his read
ers half of the article. Don't mislead
that way, Will, it amt nice.-Pawnee
Rock Leader.
MY DEAR Lewis, when we copy any
thing from another paper for the col
umns of the DEMOCRAT, and give such
copied articles no comment, we are very
careful to reproduce only such matter
as contains merit Your compliment
airy comment on Frank Strothman was
good, and as we believed it was from
your heart we gladly reproduced it.
The DAYS are growing short, and
the nights are growing long, the can
didates are hustling through the land.
Jim McCauley isn't in 1t, the Senator"
can't win it, Henry heads the grand
procession with band. Smed can
go back to his fiddling. George can soon
resume his whiting, for Tom will
snap the nippers on the "cranks; +"
Steve Williams has no show, John
Strothman is no gO-tlie register will be
Strothman. with Frank. Jake can
not "cut the mustard, the Bosse boom
is s'busted,'' Dick Pleger will sail in
like a top; Sid should not have come
back. Chambers isn't on the track, but
Markey's running like he'd never stop.
The battle soon will cease, then Dock
Shaw can have some peace, for Lash
will ''sit'' upon the bloody slain; we
democrats will rejoice, with no weak
or feeble voice, till the days grow long
and roses come again.
BLESSED are tile peace makers, -
says the good book; and nowhere does
it say that there are an: blessings in
store for men who Will knowingly and

petuate and keep in existanee bitter
feeling such as was ingendered by the
bloody war of the rebellion. No place
