escape a visitation of the scourge. A
reader of the DEMOCRAT who went
through an experience with the cholera
at st. Louis in 1S49 advises all people
to be very careful about their diet. No
cucumbers, melons, or other green
stuff inclined to loosen the bowels
should be touched, and above all things
the body should be kept clean and the
por es of the skin open.
AFTER Jesse Taylor, an effete dude
of Garden City, had originated the
Knights Of Reciprocity hoodoo we
thought he had reached the acme of
political assininity. But it now appears
that he lays claim to this authorship of
that hypocritical cry of the G. o. p..
''Stand up for Kansas" Verify, the
state capitol should be removed from
the old poky town of Topeka to the
home of Jesse Taylor, the big headed
papsucker.
In KANSAS fusion offends the repub-
lican's nice sense of principle, but it is
quite different down south. When
your conscientious republican finds he
cannot scheme to win, he is a plunger
and his fnessing is hard to beat. The
only principles in politics are embodied
in the platforms of the parties and the
man who gets up and prates about
fusion being an unholy political trick
is either an ass or hypocrite, or both.

Poor Morg! He can't do anything
but flaunt the bloody shirt and brag
about his "black dog" republicanism.
He does not dare to mention constitu-
tional convention or prohibition, for
that would be ''fernenst' Wash, and
4 would also hurt the cause of Rube, and
the man who spells God with little &.
Summing up all his editorials of last
week and they. only say: "Damn the
alliance; down with the farmers; and
stand up for Kansas" How about that
fight for county attorney on the sole
issue of ''joints or no joints?''
'ANCIENT India left specimens of
art and records of development in
science not reached by people of today.
so it was with Greece and Rome, great
centers of civilization and of progress,
yet the historian wrote their downfall
And what was the cause? You can
read it in the history of their finances
Untold wealth in possession of a few
and they became oppressors and seek
ers after power, until they robbed the
masses of their homes, their ambition
and their love of liberty, and they be-

BOYS, let us put on a bold face and
go ahead with our reckless flirting with
Calamity Jane. We will make that
lank and lean, crossgrained and i'll
tempered, simpering, hypocritical ole
maid, Miss G.. 0. P, so jealous she will
die of anguish, and then, on Novem
ber 9th, we, the democratic boys Of
Kansas, will get together once more
and hold a glorious jolifcation over
the election of the jolliest boy of all
Grover Cleveland. The merry-go-round
is in motion; hop on, everybody, an6
let's have wild ride with Jerry an6
Mollie, and Lewelling, and the whole
crowd.
THE opposition to Cleveland in the
Chicago convention did not bolt. Why
Because they were democrats. The
opposition to the majority of the TO
peka convention did not bolt. Why
Because they were democrats. Now
since both of these conventions, we
have had convention in this congres
sional district, in which there were full
delegations from all the counties in The
district. Not to exceed one delegate il
ten disapproved the action of the con-
vention. This very slim minority bolts
the convention. The democratic party
had boilers before, but they never were
known to take the party with them

"WE hold to the use of both gold ant
silver as the standard money of tn,
country and to the coinage of both goli
and silver ,citho,d Discrimination agoins
either or charge for miataqe" is tn,
declaration of the national democracy
and it is declaration for silver coinet
as standard money on the same terms
, with gold. No one can make anythin;
else out of it by any fair construction
of the English language. A free coin
age of silver and gold without discrim
g ination against either and the use o
e silver as a joint standard with gold
q This is what the democratic part
!. promises in unmistakable language il
y its platform.-St. Louis Republic.
