Vote For the Revision.

The house of representatives of Kan
sas two years ago this winter passed
resolution or bill, calling for a submits
sion to the people OF the question of
whether or not we want a
revision of the constitution of our
state. The senate was forced
though republicen-to also pass the
measure, and as consequence the
tickets this fall will contain, just below
the tickets proper, these two PROPOSE
tiOns:
For constitutional convention"
against a constitutional conven-
ton"
We need revision of our state con-
posted on the laws of the state well
knows. The present constitution was
framed for people whose needs were
far different than those of our people
of the present day. Besides there haye
been amendments added by the tinker
ing cranks of the republican party I'M
til today the laws of our state are,
many af them. scoffed at and disobeyd;
while others are evaded or construed to
favor certain political combinations or
corporations.
Owe need new constitution, and
need it bad, and we most earnestly
urge upon every voter to SCRATCH OFF
the line beginning AGAINST" and
vote FOR the constitutional convention.
Both the democrat and peoples party

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:-The first day
of January, 1892, arrived in Wichita.
Sedgwick county, Kansas. There and
then 1 took my permanent residence;
hence 1 am legal voter only in Wich-
tia, and up to this evening I will con-
fess I was Indifferent, so much so that
I hardly thought would pay railroad
fare to my new home to vote, and if 1
could not wind up my falls work in
Barton in time to reach my home pre-
cinct by Nov. 9Th, would winter my
vote over. But some kind friend sent
me the Register of Oct. 9th, and few
moments perusal of Caraway's paper
of said date knocked all the Indifference
out of me, as to my voting. The con-
gresham from the big seventh a liar,
villain, and scoundrelp Oh! Oil What
a reflection and stigma ON the intelli-
gence, honesty and integrity of the peo-
laws and certainly freedom of the
ballot here in Kansas, it will generally
be supposed we elected the kind of a
man we wanted. Now it seems to me
the number of the Register referred to
has put we of the big seventh in an
unenviable position as to honesty and
intelligence; and it is generally thought
that people elect their most trusted
of their community to congress as their
servant, and if our congressman is the
kind represented by the Register, it
puts his constituents as knaves or
fools, and I can imagine no honest
Christian man from abroad would care
to cast his lot with or associate with
us. "Stand up for Kansas Bro. Cara
way. If it is true what you say about
our congressman, don't give such
publicity to it, for it reflects on our
neighbors in the big seventh.
If it is not the facts you tell don't
for gracious sake advertise it so, for
some voter in the innocence of bis
heart might believe it. trust, Brother
Stoke, you will not take on that partisan
rage that the Register is loaded with,
for if you did should feel obliged to
call for cool, level headad corrobor-
ating witness to the statements l would
likely find in your paper. While 1 have
no personal acquaintance with Chester
1. Long, feel sure he is much of a
gentleman, for we of the big seventh
NEVER nominate any other kind as our
candidates. In conclusion let me say
wish you would admonish your Bro
Their of the quill to keep cool and try
and quiet his nerves, and stand up for
the integrity and honesty of we of the
big seventh. Your Fellowman,
BERNARD MARKEY.

Bill Mitchelrs Bluff.

Mitchell the tool of the railroad cor
porations and the enemy of organized
labor, expects to vote the bulk Of the
railroad employees of Kansas for the
republican candidates. Railroad men,
will you permit yourselves to be voted
that way? The following open letter
from w. M. Campbell shows conclu-
sively that Mitchell will attempt his
dastardly scheme:
Bill Mitchell, railroad commissioner
is tool of the railroads. He came to
me in the last house and said he was
at the head of 49, 900 railroad employees
and said if pushed bill TAB through
the house that I could never sit in ou1
legislature again. Said it in the most
emphatic language.
You may publish the substance of
the above as editorial, holding this let.
ter as guaranty. Respectfully,

termined and unconquorable democrats
known; and when the election returns
are in after the 9Th of November, Kan
sas will again uphold her reputation
for all these things by showing that
the people have redeemed the state
from republican misrule and started a
new era in political history. Demo-
Gratis will rejoice that the change has
been brought about. and will go to
work with renewed energy to enlight-
en- and instruct the people in the line
of advanced thought that has, the past
few years, contributed to bring about
the present political revolution. We
shall not quarrel with men who today
are thinking and talking democracy,
even though they call it by some other
name. If we can educate the people in
tariff reform, economic government,
financial reform and political liberty
and purity. we shall not question the
channels through which such educa-
ction reaches the people.

CHAIRMAN JONES, of the democratic
stste central committee and Gen. Chas
w. Blair OF the national committee
were called to New York a week or two
ago for a conference with Chairman
Harity and Mr.. Cleveland. They ex-
pressed themselves as being well salts
fed with the action of Kansas demo-
Gratis in their convention July 9Th, and
if they are satisfied and pleased we
think there should be no kick coming
from such democrats as Col. Harris,
Joe Lowe, VIM. Mitchell and other ap-
pointees of republican governor. The
democrats who have the interest of
Cleveland and Stevenson at heart will
vote for the nominees of the July con-
yentiOn. Parsons Palladium.

Miss Lydia Zoeller, one of Great
Bends handsome young ladies, made
her FIRST appearance before an audi
ence at the college last Saturday night.
She sang ely Forth Oh Gentle Dove
by Pinsuti, which was rendered in a
Superb manner by her. She certainly
has a magnificent voice, and much
credit is due her teacher for the part
she has taken in the training of Miss
Zoeller's voice. Great Bend may well
be proud of such talent, which is sec
ond to none. Miss Zoeller has the
best wishes of her numerous friends in
her musical career.

GOVERNOR LEWELLING spoke in
the court house Tuesday afternoon for
two hours. and made one of the most
eloquent addresses we have heard this
year. The hall was packed full as it
would possibly hold, Notwithstanding
the day was dreary, gloomy one and
threatened rain all day. Mr.. Lewelling
showed himself to be not only polished
gentleman fully well fitted for the
governors chair, but a speaker who
could hold the attention of his audience
from start to finish. If there were
any persons present who entertained
the thought that better man could
have been selected for the position, that
thought was certainly banished after
hearing Mr.. Lewelling. Boys, he is as
much better fitted for the position OF
governor of Kansas than the republi.
can candidate, as is Talmage OF Moody
better fitted for the pulpit than Cara.

enlightened, progressive people of oul
