Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1892-10-13
Conditional Order.

THE "kickers," land they adopted
the name themselves), who attended
the conference at Topeka last Friday,
omitted one very important thing, viz:
They should have adopted the motto:
"Stand up for the Santa Fe railroad"
1t would mean the same thing as the G.
o. p. ''Stand up for Kansas"
About 5000 900 bushels less wheat
went abroad in August than for that
month in '91.-Lyons Republican.
Woe be unto q republican editor who
will so frankly admit this fact. Has
Brother Hoyt forgotten to defend the
Mckinley bill? Remember the promise
of your party to the farmers Bro. Hoyt
and don't give yourself away that way
again.-Ellinwood Advocate.
DEMOCRATS desiring their township
! tickets printed on the democratic state
and county tickets should send the
names of their nominees in to this Office
as soon as possible. There will be
democratic tickets, with the name of
| Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson
| printed and supplied to every voting
place in the county; therefore, wher-
ever there are democratic nominations
for township officers they can just as
well be printed on the regular tickets.
| Moro. has concluded to spell Cath
olic with big &C" from now on-until
after election at least. He quotes quite
extensively from the Pope's Encyclocal
! Letter on s'The Condition of Labor, -
an excellent letter with splendid points.
But Morg's. effort to connect the Pepe's
letter with the campaign in the 9TH
congressional district of Kansas, by
deliberately charging false things against
Jerry Simpson, is one of the most con-
temptible efforts of his life.
| 'sWE ARE Protestant, Stoke is moths
ing," says Caraway in the Register of
last week. He may be wonderful pure
and upright christian, very paragon
of Professionalism; but just the same, his
religion does not interfere with his
business or his politics. If it did, he
would make more of an effort to conhne
himself to the truth. If it did, he
would not have thrown himself open to
charges of questionable transactions
while doing business as real estate
agent; neither would he wink his eye a
the open violation of Kansas liquor
laws practiced by certain of his party
for political purposes.
Rev. Mr.. George, the secretary of tht
state Sunday School association, re
marked today that he was asked by an
eastern man recently what sort of {
state Kansas was generally; his repl!
was: lit has 80 900 square miles, 80 ,O0t
Methodists and 1000 republican ma
ljority." That's the kind of man tt
send out to advertise Kansas. No tale
of woe in that.-Tribune.
REV. Mr.. GEORGE, as good Sunday
, school teacher ought not lie that way
, The square miles and the oblong Metho
dists may be all right. but any schoo
boy of 10 years could tell Rev. Mr.
George that he is "off'' about the IRE
publican majority" Kansas ONCE hat
that bad reputation, but if the Rev
Mr.. George wishes to set a good ex
ample for truthfulness he will never
again make such bad break.
, THE passing" of democracy wa
. noticed on the Santa Fe road this week
1t was passing" of the boys in more
, sense than one. Riding on free''passes,
distributed by the Santa Fe road
through the kindness of the republican
state central committee, the boy
"passed" down to Topeka and "passed'
il their pledges to 'do all in thei
power to defeat the peoples party stat
ticket" and thus "passed" their allegi
. ence over to the republican party o
! Kansas; for in no way can the people
l party be defeated in Kansas but by tn
kickers giving their support to th
hated republican party. How man,
8 democrats of Kansas will do this? w
q predict that there will not be FIVE ou
4 of every one hundred democratic voter
: who will do it. But more about tia
. lsspassing:n Unlike 1.-THE Passing O
8 King Arthur the couple of hundre'
democrats who exhibited their kickin
ability on the 9TH did not cast a brigh
: and true sword into the glimmerin
e lake of tie future, to arise and becko
them to a fairer beyond; but they sui
fered the emselves to be led to the brin
u by a few soreheaded disappointant
i cast bodily into the lake of republica
, filth and corruption; and it will b
r many long day before some of theI
!. will be able to rid themselves of th
mud that will cling to them constan
reminder of the folly of their action.
