Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1891-01-22

republican braves OF barton county WHO
have lost their supply Of public ''beef"
and whose political 'guns" are al
spiked by the popular voice of the peo-
pie, claims to have put in bid for the
printing at figures even lower than his
| beloved friend of the Tribune ever
made. If he did put in the bid he states
he did, it was merely done for the pur-
pose of creating something to kick about,
and with the certain knowledge that the
commissioners would not consider his
paper a proper one out of which to
make an official paper. Very little
attention will be paid to his distorted
howlings.
PLUMB voted with the republicans
when the question was whether or not
the force bill was to give way for need
ed financial legislation, as did also
Henderson, of Nebraska. The force bill
was nothing but party measure, and
the suffering people of the west can
now see more plainly than ever the
folly of sending a machine republican
to the U. s. senate. The people of
Kansas and Nebraska have expressed
themselves, in no uncertain manner, in
favor of an increase of money circula-
ton, free coinage of silver, and var
ious other measures needed to revive
| financial activity, but their republican
representatives in the senate disregard
ed every demand of the people and
voted with the eastern money kings
who desired the perpetuation of repub-
lican power through the elections bill.
SENATOR INGALLS, father is DEM
ocrat. He is spending the winter with
his son-in-law, Samuel N. Dyer, of
South Arlington, Mass, who is also
sound in the faith. Mr.. Dyer held the
Office of auditor at the Boston custom
house under the last administration,
which explains why he does not hold it
now. Mr. ingalls, although very old
man, still enjoys good health and is a
weekly reader of the National Demo-
GRAFT. AS the father of the Kansas Sem
ator suppose he is not bound to rejoice
over some recent political events, but
as good democrat, on the other hand
he must feel that it is better to be right
ever than to be the parent of United
States Senator National Democrat.
Considerable conjecturing has been
INDUCED in the past few days upon the
probable candidates for mayor and
other city officers the coming spring. 1t
is an uncertain quantity as yet who the
lightning will strike, but whoever wins
will have a fight to make.-Register.
The 'conjecturing" has mostly beer
going on in the wrong font brain of the
big II ann of the Register. who has
been industriously setting up rods
with all sorts of tips IN the hope that
the mayorality ''lightning" will be
induced to come his way. He is after
everything in sight, and don't forget it
His most prominent deformity is an
Unsuitable hunger for office.
f. H. SNOW, editor of the Ottaw,
Journal, was elected state printer Tues
day. The alliance men went into eau
Gus aud decided on their man after but
| three ballots. Every indication now il
, that when it comes to the cleo
ton of Ingalls, successor next Tuesday
the ''grangers" will pursue the SAM
careful and deliberate course. It i
hoped that they will use due judgment
in the selection of I. S. senator, ant
1 send a man to Washington who posses
ses sufficient ability to do some goo'
for Kansas. We have had hollOv
E mOckery there too long.
The DEMOCRAT has a large number
, of foreign readers, persons scattered al
over the United States, who all have
more or less interests in Kansas, anC
particularly in Barton courtyard vicin
ity. A number of these readers, whel
here on a visit or to look after thei
property interests, have stated to u
that their neighbors are anxious to se
the Kansas paper; will call and borrow
= it and read it with much interest. Ii
this manner every issue of the DEMO
L Graf reaches the eyes Of fully thou
sand people outside of our own county
and for anyone having matter or propo
e sitions they desire to bring before tn
). public, and especially that part of tn
/ public more or less interested in Bar
+ ton county, there is not better medi
). ium than this paper. Real estate me-
:. and loan agents find that an advertise
e ment placed in the DEMOCRAT Away
S brings inquiry and business. A small
d sum invested in an advertisement il
r this paper can not be better placed
