. LaTrE's Da4 In Lyons.

The announcement had been made
rather unostentatiously for SONS time
previous, that Hon. Jerry Simpson and
l.. D. Lewelling would speak in Lyons
on Saturday, September Srd. 1t had
be en- hinted that Lyons would witness
the largest gathering ever seen within
her limits, and the incredulous individ-
ual rather doubted the statement, but
by noon his doubts had all vanished.
The people were upon US. They came
singly, by twos, by threes, in swarms,
droves and long professions from all
directions. The day before was circus
day, the only one this year, and as be-
tween four and five thousand people
were seated under the canvass in the
afternoon, it was thought the attend
auce Saturday would be rather light
but they all came back. They must
have, and each must have brought an
other with him, for there were certainly
two persons in town Saturday where
there was one the day before. Even
republicans estimated the throng at be-
tween eight and nine thousand people.
Jerry was on hand and so was Lew
cling. 4 stage and seats had been
provided in the city park, and after the
parade which moved through the streets
from 1000 till 1880 o'clock, everybody
repaired to the park and listined to the
speeches by each, lasting till nearly five
o'clock. The speeches were well re-
ceiYed, in fact, great many were sur
prised at Jerry. At the time of his
former appearance two years ago, be
lahored under the disadvantage of hay
ing addressed only one meeting prior
to coming to Lyons. Some OF his prop.
ositions and theories are too wild for q
democrat 90 believe in, and we hardly
think he believes in them himself, but
he is ''ferninst" protective tariff and
a force bill, and democrats can overlook
lots Of little things if man is right or
the main proposition.
! L. D. Ilewelling's face shows muci
force of character, and for one to whom
the honor of Il gubernatorial nomi
nation came all unexpected, he seems
to be making q good canvass.
The glee club from Quenemo, Kan
sas, enlivened the occasion with severa
vocal selections.-Lyons Democrat.

Two Sides Of the Mckinley Bill.

Sa4ed His Life.

Col. ". E. Hughes. Keeper Of Records
and Seals of Valient Lodge No. 179 OF
K. Of P, OF Topeka. met Col. Allison,
commander OF the second regiment L.
3. K. of p, of Tennessee, while at
Kansas City. and from him learned the
particulars of the escape OF General
anderson of tie Tennessee militia who
was captured Dy the miners In the late
troubles IL that state.
General Anderson, it will be remen-
bered, was captured by the miners un-
der flag OF truce, and 1t WAS reported
that he had been killed. It is true that
the miners decided TO hang him and
tie leaders went for a rope. Genera
Anderson is a knight OF Pythias. and
while the leaders were away be gave
the sign of distress of that order 1t
proved that three OF the miners pres
eft were members of the K. of p. and
Trey recognized the sign and remem-
i,ered their obligation. Before the rope
vas brought the miners took General
Anderson and concealed him and kept
him safe until their surrender.

The Echo of a Kiss.

Il young friend of the DEMOCRAT

All Against Jerry.

The very fact that every republican
newspaper, not only in Kansas but in
the entire west, is training its gun on
Jerry Simpson ought to convince every
democrat and peoples party man in the
Big Seventh that Mr.. Simpson is the
proper man to represent them in con-
greSs.
An honest farmer who occupied his
spare moments in studying the financial
history of his country he has gained a
national reputation. His keen logic has
exasperated the plutocrats and they
viii leave nothing undone TO defeat the
courageous defender OF western inter
ests.
What will the election OF Chester L.
Long mean? It will mean a vote foI
eastern monopolists instead Of Jerry
Simpsons voice and vote il congress
fer the producers OF Kansas and the
great Mississippi valley as well.
Chester /. Long will vote for a high
tariff which the west must pay. He viii
vote against the free coinage Of silver
thereby increasing the value of every
mortgage held against Kansas homes
and depreciating the selling price OF
every acre Of Kansas lands and Kansas
products. The election OF Long and
the defeat of Simpson would be a vic

defeat for every lahoring man in The

More Protection.


The union miners in Idaho had an
idea that protection means protection
to American labor and struck against
reduction OF wages.
The mine owners attempted to nine
by rat labor and the result was repe-
tition OF the Homestead troubles
Somehow or other it is beginning to
dawn on the organized labor of this
republic that protection means a soft
snap for the-manufacturer and mine
owner.
1t enables these lords and baroDs to
manufacture and mine without outside
competition, and being thus secure in
their protected staten to browbeat
honest workingmen.
Have care, gentlemen, have care,
or one of these days the organized
labor of this land viii rise up and. wipe
your whole protective system out of
existance.
If protection does. not protect organ
lied, honest, intelligent American labo
then, indeed, of what use is it?
Was it adopted inCthis country to
enable lords and barons to import scab
| labor the Huns, Vandals and Scicil-
ians Of Europe-to take the place of
our American boys?
1t looks like it.
But we shall soon see what we will
see. The crisis is coming. -Chanute

PUCK ASKS:
Vernant's Election.

Last Tuesday there was state cleo
ton in Vermont. Results were so dis
appointing to republicans that returns
were not sent broadcast. as has been
the case heretofore in presidential
years.
The majority this year is estimated
at 20, 600 This is republican loss of
about 24 Per cent as compared with the
vote of 1885 Efforts were madeto get
out large vote that the effect upon
the country might be favorable to re-
publican hopes

Eatnre of apologies Farmers we're too
busy ID vote. Interest In the state
election was not aroused because the

corn stalk less than ten years old could
hold up under such burden.
Joe Lonberger owes the ladies who
faced the rain storm Saturday evening
in order to attend the session of the
Chapter of the Eastern Star for the
purpose of giving him the beautiful de-
gree, a debt of gratitude that will stand
on the debit side of the ledger against
him for many days. He made good
sized payment on the account. however,
by procuring a rig and through the
drenching rain conveyed the ladies to
their several homes.

result was foregone conclusion But
twelve years ago, eight years ago and
four years ago the same conditions ex-
listed, yet the shepherds and syrup boil
ers of the state recorded their votes.
Tn conclusion is inevitable that the
party is rapidly losing ground even in
its stronghelds. When the loss in Yer
mont is considered in connection with
democratic gains in southern states,
where republicans voted with the alli-
ance. it is difficult to see upon what
republican bosses are basing their
claims.-Kansas City Times.
