Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1892-11-03
A FEW LAST WORDS.

Democrats, we hold the key to the
situation in Kansas politics. AS the
majority of the democrats go on the
Sth inst, 80 will the election go.
By voting in compliance with the
action of our democratic state conven-
ton we can rid the state house of set
of hangers-on, of professional office
holders, of unprincipled dependents
upon the public crib.
BY voting the electoral ticket at that
time nominated, we can throw the ten
electoral votes of Kansas away from
Harrison whom every thinking man
will admit is Grover Cleveland's
strongest opponent. In no manner
could we possibly give the electoral
vote of Kansas to Cleveland, for we
have not the strength to do it; but we
can take that vote out of the republi-
can column by voting for the Weaver
electors.
Every democrat who has given the
subject thought, and who desires to aid
In the election of a democratic presi-
dent, will readily see his duty plainly
outlined.
S BY voting for Mr.. Lewelline for gov
ernor of the state you vote for man
fully as well, and in our judgment
much better qualified fer the Office than
is <. W. Smith, his republican oppon-
ent. And so of every other gentleman
OH our ticket.
Should the republican party loose
CONTROL of the state official patronage
and it will if democrats do their
duty-that party will be placed in a
condition nearer to that the democratic
party has held for many years, that is,
it will have to make its fights in the
sfuture without the aid of many
thousands of dollars that are donated
every year by the place holders and
politicians By helping to place the
peoples party candidates in the state
offices we are certain that we cauno'
possibly put the affairs of the state In
WORSE hands than they now are; while
when we consider the records made by
we know that they are none of them
rascals, none Of them fanatics and
hypocrits. and that the state affairs vii
be safe in their hands.
Kansas is not in any danger Oi
catastrophy or distress-no matter
which party wins. But if the same
old republican crowd that have become
arrogant and insolent with long years
of success, are again given contron O
the state we may hope only for mor'
arrogance, more lnsolence, more cor
ruption and scandals in high places
more Botkins and Anthony's; mor'
farcial laws and double-faced officer
of the law. more favoritism OF rail
roads and other corporations. Judg

Concerning the candidates for county
attorney and probate judge, We have
before given our reasons why we be-
lieved democrats should vote for q. L..
Hotchkiss and T. III. Brewer, and we
believe that a large majority Of the
democrats Of the county will see as we
do concerning these gentlemen.
In these last words before election
day We appeal to your judgment, to
your sober thoughts as democrats. Look
the situation squarely in the face; let
not prejudice OF passion, personal likes
or dislikes come between your duty as
a democrat at this momenJOuS time.
Remember that the democrats of Kan
sas have the making or breaking of the
republican party this year, and the
building up or handicapping of the
democratic party in the future.

ward, but sternly refused to be inter-
viewed. The Alert is therefore unable
to tell its readers just how that beauti-
full silver cup was lost, and must leave
the score to tell its own sad story.
For seven straight innings the James
town sluegers faced the Cooperstown
pitcher without getting man beyond
third base, and while some of the boys
managed to pound out an occasional
base hit, the score sheet showed grim
and ghastly row If goose eggs. In the
eighth inning, Mcdaniel let up little,
and with the assistance of couple of
fielding errors jamestown succeeded in
landing four runs. Another run in the
ninth completed the chapter, making a
total of only five scores for the city club,
against 25 for the stalwart young men
who wore the Cooperstown uniform.
Not only did jamestown fail to do any
batting worth mentioning, but the home
club was equally lame in other respects.
Nashold's pitching was wild and ineffec
tive. and Nelson failed to hold the ball
at critical periods. Errors were piled up
in the field and on the bases, and an oc-
caeional good play was considered an az
cident by the immense crowd of specta
tors. Cooperstown got an unearned run
in the second inning, and batted out
seven runs IN the third. In the first and
fourth they failed to score. In the fifth,
seven more runs were secured; in the
sixth, 3; IN the seventh, 2, and in the
eighth, 5. In fact all efforts to "rattle"
the Cooperstown club signally failed,
and they played the game from start to
finish for all there was in it. They are
a manly and courteous lot of fellows,
and made many friends among James,
town people. In this connection it is
due the losing club to say that their
visitors were we'll cared for while here.
and that the best of feeling prevailed
throughout the game.
