party most numerically, showing up
the corruptness of its leaders. in the
aesertion of its one time principle, and
the drift of its legislation. His re-
marks on the Mckinley outrage were
and undenyable, and he
won the respect of both democrats and
republicans by his plain statements of
this government was carried on for the
benefit of boodling and jobbery at the
e Expense of the common; laborers and
farmers of the land.
Judge Day of this city also addressed
the people, after the close of Congress
man Simpsons remarks, and his
speech, though short, was splendid
effort. He is a new convert to the
third party faith, having been life
long republican. What the DEMOCRAT
likes about the speeches of these regen-
Grated republicans is, that they now
see the iniquity Of republican tariff,
Capitalization of power, and
all other irregularities and incongrui-
ties OF republicanism, just as We,
democrat, have seen them for many
years, and their efforts are being given
to enlighten the people in the same
line of thought that the democrats
have followed right along.
NOTES.
The procession was not as large as
that Of two years ago, but we do not
believe that fact will indicate falling
off of the Simpson following. Many
farmers are right in the midst of
threshing and fall seeding, and could
not afford to lose day for the purpose
of attending a political meeting.
Estimates of the crowd of people in
town from the country range from 1000
to 5000 people. In our judgement $500
would cover the number.
The republicans showed bad lasts in
trying to make Long demonstration.
They had 250 Long badges printed and
distributed them to men, women and
children-to any one who would take
one whether voter or not. Then,
when the bands had played piece or
TIVE on the street after the meeting
broke up, they massed all the forces
they could muster around the band and
cheered for Long and somebody named
Smith.
Jerry ripped old reprabate botkin
up the back in good shape, and was
heartily cheered therefor.
We heard several democrats, who
had been inclined to dcnbt the advisA
bility of our endorsement of Jerry, re.
mark, after they heard his speech that
He is all right-we can vote for him
in preference to ANY republican"
--Hrill Morg. print Jerry's speech in
full?
-Jerry's "pearl button" explanation
was corker; and his exposure of how
Carnegie bleeds the government will
stick in the Gizzard of high protec-
tionists for one long time.
Barton county republicans are more
decent than Rice county reps.-they
did not circulate any Of those scurrilon
gutter snipes.
Jerry is stem-winder and stem
setter and double, back-action, sping-

Banner of last week, and give it space
in the DEMOCRAT in order that our
democratic readers may have the full
benefit of tie delectadle bit Of republi-

should vote the republican ticket.
Why, of course we democrats of this
county will flock like geese to the sup
port of the party which calls them such
pet names and entertains such high
opinions of our principles, won't we?
Well just tumble over each other to
get to vote republican ticket, hey?
This is what the democrats of Kansas
will do: We will join the new movement
for this year, and wipe the republican
party SO completely off of the face of
the earth that there will not be even q

COMMISSIONER PECK, of New York,
got out a report of labor statistics of
that state, which, according to loudly
blazoned republican head lines sus-
tanned their claim that the Mckinley
law had wonderfully raised the wages
of laborers. It was said that this re-
port would kill off Grover Cleveland in
New York, and the rampant republi-
cans were over jubilant. Steps were
taken to investigate the truthfulness
or untruthfullness of the report, when

LABOR DAY" is a national holiday,
set apart for the laboring men of the
country, and celebrated OH Monday, the
5th inst, in all the large cities, or
wherever there was a labor organ
iZatlon. It is day for the honest
labOrers of all the land, yet there are
men in Kansas mean, low and con-
temptible enough to denounce it and
the men who celebrate il. From the
Hutchinson Interior Herald, the off,
cial republican paper of Reno county,
we take the following extract which
shows what that great republican saint,
Meredith Tor ''Moon''1 thinks of Labor
Day and the laborers of his town.
Last Monday was what is miscalied
Labor day" 1t is a day when buns
and beats who are entirely too lazy to
labor, and political shysters and dem
agogues who are sharp enough to live
on ether peoples labor, get out and
parade and try TO fool the honest labor
ing people"

PORTER reports that there are nine
millions Of mortgaged homes, and five
millions of homes free from encum-
brances in this grand and glorious
land of ours. Does that indicate that
the home owners are growing prosper

party? We think not Further than
this, the government statistics, CON-
piled by republican officials, show that
farm mortgages have increased in the
last ten years thirty per cent faster
than our population has increased.

actual condition Of the common people

ARB0R DAY.

A noteworthy feature of the
Arbor Day circular issued by the
State Department of Public In
struction this season, and one
which should especially interest
the boys and girls, is a proposed
plant distribution by our State
Horticultural Society. The society
offers to give a limited number Of
strawberry plants of an approved
variety to the pupils in district
schools observing Arbor Day. The
object is to quicken in the young
taste for horticulture and to en-
courage the culture of small fruits
in private gardens. By the con-
ditions named in the circular any
pupil, of twelve years of age, or
older, in a district school that OBJ
serves Arbor Day this season, and
who has attended school in the
district four consecutive weeks
during the current school year,
will be entitled to receive six
strawberry plants, provided he or
she will pay postage on the same
and agree to plant and care for
them according to directions.
1t is also recommended that
when ten or more pupils in any
school desire to avail themselves
of the offer, such pupils shall form
Themselves into a young peoples
horticultural society. The circular
contains a constitution for such a
society. This is an excellent
opportunity for our boys and girls
to start fruit gardens Of their
own and the offer should be eagerly
embraced by all pupils who are
entitled by the conditions to receive
the plants

GET READY FOR VICTORY.

While the Republicans of Mil
waukee are sorry at the defeat of
Senator Bechtner and the city
ticket, Republicans of Milwaukee
and Wisconsin, since the election
Of last Tuesday, have not doubted
for a moment that Wisconsin will
be in the Republican column next
November. The campaign made
by Senator Bechtner and his
associates on the ticket, and the
Republicans of Milwaukee, was
one which reflects great credit
upon them. Chairman Smith and
Secretary Merrill work grandly,
and they called upon none Of the
workers who failed to respond.
The Republican skies over the
state and Nation are very clear
and bright. We shall have Re-
publican state officers; we shall
have a Republican Legislature;
Colonel Spooner will be returned
to the senate. We shall have a
Republican President, and possibly
a Republican house Of repre-
sentatives, and certainly a Re-
publican senate. We say this on
the reasonable supposition that
the Republican party will organize
for vigorous work throughout
the campaign; that the National
committee, the state committees,
the county, city and district
committees, will make efforts to
organize in such a way that all
classes of voters will receive the
attention that is desirable in
all important campaigns. There
should be no delay on the part of
any of these committees in per-
fecting good, strong, active per-
sistent organization. Let organi-
zation be the rallying cry for the
next three or four months, and
after the organizations are perfected
let them be of such a live, wide
awake, energetic and enthusiastic
character that their influence will
be far reaching-will attract the
attention of all classes and exert
an influence that will be far reach
ing-Will attract the attention of
classes and exert an influence that
will be beneficial to the only
political party that deserves to
succeed in state and Nation.
We repeat again: Let the rallying
cry be Reorganization" .-Jhk

November next [ am to cast my
first vote for President and as |
will vote the Republican ticket, it
is not out of place to give my
reasons for SO doing.
To answer this question intelli-
gently it is necessary to outline
the policy Of the Republican
party. | might answer, that as |
am the son of an old soldier, my
first vote should be cast to
pcrpetuate the policy Of the
government of those great men
who made it possible for me to
live in a grand and united republic
"of the people, Tor the people, and
by the people" a government Of
Lincoln, of Grant and of Garfield;
a government which to-day stands
pre-eminent above every other
government on the whole face of
the civilized world and made so
by thirty years of Republican
rule; a government which throttled
slavery and one of the greatest
civil wars in the worlds history
then generously made the rebels
an equal at the ballot box. This
answer would be sufficient, but
would not satisfy even myself and
would not do justice to the party
of which | am an humble member.
TO make an answer fully within
the bounds of reason | would say
the government should have at its
head man who represents the
best interests of the poorer classes
and a man who is every inch an
American The Republican party
advocates protection to American
industries; it represents the policy
of equal rights to all and special
privileges to none;;" it represents
the brain of the nation; it believes
IN Gree ballot and fair count"
it opposes trusts and dangerous
monopolies; it fosters our home
enterprises; it would rather pay
an American ten cents more for
an article than to buy the same
of a foreigner
| am a Republican, not only
because it is the party of Lincoln,
Seward, Grant, Blaine, Conkling,
and others of the greatest states
men of the nineteenth century,
but because it is the party Of
progress, purity, and patriotism;
the party Of humanity, harmony,
and happiness; the party Of refine
ment, of brains, and last Of all,
practice and not theory.
The Republican party elevates,
ennobles, purifes, strengthens,
and fosters the best interests Of
the American people. The Demo
cratic party tears down, views
with alarm and destroys the
happiness and prosperity of a
glorious and happy people.
with malice toward none and
charity for all" let the Republican
party go on to victory, and the
young men who are becoming
educated to the wants of our
people will fill up the ranks with
arms at present" ready to go
on with the work SO gloriously
begun. Sincerely yours,

The Republicans changed the
rules of the House to prevent a
minority fllibustering so as to OBJ
struct business, but the democrats
have fixed them so that an anti
silver minority has throttled a free
coinage majority inside their own
party and that, too, without the
trouble of fllibustering.
Madison Democrat::-All over
this state the Wall machine stuck
itself into the local elections if
any opportunity offered, and the
result is very much the same
everywhere-more republican sue
cesses than in years. The Mil
Waukee News, which in that city
supported the democratic ticket
but is an independent paper, after
looking over the result in the state
says: The national democracy
can find nothing in the municipal
elections to cause feeling of en-
enlargement" The same paper
closes long editorial on the city
election thus: The victory is a
negative one for the democracy as
party. 1t is a most fattering
personal endorsement to Mayor
Somers and a defeat to the repub-
leans as a party which, in itself,
has so much of the fruits Of victory
that it scarcely has any of the
pangs of defeat" And yet Wall
says he is satisfied.
