ISA CAVE OF HoRRoRs.-Tcn days ago
Henry Sullivan, prosperous farmer and cat
tie raiser, left Forsythe, Mo-, to go to neigh
boring town where he proposed buying
number of cattle. Nothing had been heard OF
him until last Wednesday, when he walked
into his diningroom looking so haggard, un-
kempt aud disreputable that no one recognized
him He told Il strange story OF his msnaps
while absent. Some time ago III making
deal with farmer named Charles Wilson,
Sullivan got the best of it. This so prayed
upon Wilson that he determined upon tiend-
ish revenge. In deep canyon near the road
which Sullivan travelled was large cave
which no one had ever explored ana winch
was reputed to be the den of ferocious Wild
animals and venomous reptiles. Assaultlng
Sullivan at q point near the cave, Wilson
dragged his captive into it. Stripping HIM
naked he bound him firmly TO giant column
and left him Here with the slime from the
cave dripping on him and with vermin, bugs
aud thousand legged repulsive worms crawl
ing over him, Sullivan spent three days OF
unspeakable agony and misery. 1t was his
captor's plan to kill him by inches. Each day
he visited Sullivan, bringing with him just
food enough to prolong life. A few days of
this and the prisoner was SO weak that WI.
son, fearing that ne might die before he had
satisfied his revenge, fed him literally for
few days In one of the efforts made with re-
vived strength Sullivan broke his bonds and
fed. The authorities are On the track OF
Wilson, and if he is caught no court of justice
will try him.

work should be strictly adhered to by you in the
coming campaign in your county:
/ The couBty organizer will select his precinct
organizer at once.
2. The precinct organizer will sub-divide his
and place good reia BILE republican in charge
TO Hlook after" said voters from until after the
polls Close
3. This appointee and his instructions must
be kept absolutely secret This is imperative
4. In Suitable republican can be found
in precinct, select out side to act
3. These instructions are for your eyes only. and
you are not TO show them to anyone or leave them
in place where they are liable TO be by others
These instructions are issued from
republican head quarters at Topeka,
and mean that the Doodle to be used
must be placed in suitable hands.
They mean that the republican party
is afraid to leave this fight in the
hands of the intelligent voters, but
deems it necessary to have one paid
emissary to watch, to ''look after" tie
voters. Il it does not mean this, will
some member of one of the herds of

How Would The House Vote.

How would the house vote in case
there was no election of president by
the people, is question upon which
many do not have clear conception;
and we have been asked by several to
make clear statement of the facts in
the case.
The constitution of the United
States provides that in case no candi-
date has a majority of all the electoral
college, that the (present) house of
congress shall proceed to elect from one
of the highest candidates by vote of
the states, each state having only one
vote, and as there are A states, there
would be a votes to be cast by the
congressman from the different states.
A majority of the members from each
state would decide for what candidate
the state should vote.
The states that have a democratic
majority of congressman are Alabama,
Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Flor
ida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kentucky. Louisiana, Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri, Montana, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
North Carolina, Ohio. Rhode Island,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vir.
ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Thirty states.
The states that have republican
majority of congressman are Califor-
MIA, Colorado. Idaho, Maine, Nevada
North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania
South Dakota, Vermont, Washington
and Wyoming. Twelve states.
Kansas and Nebraska have a major.
ity of peoples party congressman, SC
those states would vote for Weaver.
If the election should go to the house
Cleveland would have 80, Harrison II
and Weaver 2 states. Twenty-thres
states would be a majority of all the
states, and could elect the president
SO the democrats would have sever
more states than is required to elect &
president. Of the so democratic states
! Is are solidly democratic and 15 have
majority of the congressman. We have
given the facts in relation to the mat
ter, and anyone can see what the re
suit would be if the election of tn,
president should go into the house
There can not be any doubt as to wb,
would be elected in such event.-Ar
kansas Valley Democrat.

HERE is a pointer. It has been
charged, and with good reason too,
that the Kansas rail road companies
are interested in the success of the re-
publican ticket this fall. Being so ins
terested, the rail road companies want
to see as many democratic votes as
possible go anywhere but to the p. p.
ticket. therefore Kansas railroads
give the LOWEST rate of the season to
any convention-that of II fare for
the round trip to the meeting of demo-
cratic kickers called for the 9TH of
October. The object is plain. 1t is
hoped to get as many people in Topeka
on that day as possible, and then to
herald abroad the report that vast
number of democratic kickers were in
attendance. The fine, italian hand OF
Railroad Commissioner Mitchell can be
seen in this move. Gov. Humphrey
appOintees are getting their work in al
along the line. We hope that Govern
or Lewelling will select better demo
Gratis for his appointments.

How Democrats viii Choose.

In endorsing a state ticket pre-
viously nominated by the peoples
party, the democratic convention SIM
ply made a recommendation. The can
didates have not accepted the nomina-
tion and have not subscribed to a
democratic platform. To vote for
them or not is a matter for the free
choice of every democratic voter, and
it is evidently choice between two
evils.-Kansas City Times, Sept. 20.
Bro. Stokey, how does this strike
you ?-Register, Sept. 20.
That strikes US all right, Morg. AS
democrats have always contended that
the majority should rule; that when
they meet in convention they meet
with the understanding that what the
most men want is better than what a
few want, they will undoubtedly sus-
tain the action of the state convention
from principle and sense of Justice,
and not by reason of airy compulsion
or whipping in by the party lash. The
latter method Of controlling votes is
purely republican method, and there
is nothing democratic about it.
1t is matter of ''free choice" with
democrats of Kansas as to whether
they vote or not, or how they vote, and
between two evils" every thinking,
earnest, honest democrat will choose
the least and will vote for the p. p.
state officers instead of the aggrega-
ton of hypocritical democrat-haters
that make up the republican state
ticket. There is no esMpulsien about
it, when it comes down to Individual
votes; compulsion is not word har-
bored by democrats; but rather is it a
matter of policy, of expediency, of party
diplomacy if you please, and 80 per
cent. of the democratic voters of the
state will see the situation just as we
see it, and viii vote with the peoples
party this fall. The other 10 per cent.
will do as they see fit. If they vote for
the republican candidates. it is their
privilege as free American citizens :;
but IN our judgment, and in the judg-
ment of so par cent. of the democrats
of the state, such an act would be un-
democratic because inconsistent and
unreasonable.
The situation today is this: In
Kansas the democratic party have been
trying for years to bring about legisla.
tion for the benefit of the people, by
placing tickets in the field year after
year, and putting good men upon those
tickets, only to be overwhelmingly
beaten by the most corrupt, conscience
Tess, hypocritical party that ever cursed
a state-the republican party.
Through the uprising of the people
in this new movement under the name
of peoples party, that domineering re-
publicanism has been brought right to
the verge of overwhelming defeat. The
democrats of the state can join their
votes with the new party-not as peo-
pies party men, but as democrats-and
can complete the overthrow of our old
time enemy. To do this is the free
choice of 80 out of every 100 demo-
cratic voters Of the state; and do it
they will, no matter how the g.op.
may whine, and beg, and squirm, and
bribe, and make promises.

REPUBLICAN, OPINIONS.
What Some Prominent Republicans Have
Said on the Tariff Question.

The manufacturers and the trusts
get the protection and the profits of the
tariff = the farmer gets the. husks
and the humbug.-Hon. Ben. Butter
worth.
The tariff bill should read: A bill to
prevent the diffused blessings Of Prov
idenee from being enjoyed by the peo-
pie Of the United States.-Hon. John
A. KasSo1. Iowa.
-
1 am for protection which leads to
ultimate free trade.-Hon. James A. .
Garfield, 1870.
Yes, men are on the free list. They
cost us not even freight. We promotes
free trade in men.-Hon. w. D. KeI-
ley, Pa.
If the tariff on wool makes clothing
cost more, person will get along with
one suit, where he would otherwise
have two.-Jay Gould.
-
The policy of protecting the wool
grower is to gradually reduce the price.
Hon. John Sherman, 1883.
-
60 on with your driveling sidiocy.
1.-THE Mckinley bill.l-Blaine tosMc-

When gentleman stands upon this
floor and tells me that this high, this
extraordinary high tariff, is for the
protection" of the laboring man, L
tell him do not understand how he
can possibly substantiate such theory.
Hon. John A. Logan.
-
If you levy duty on the raw material
you discriminate against American
labor.-Hon. Henry L. Dawes.
-
There is not section or a line in
the entire mckinley bill that will
open market for another bushel of
wheat, or another barrel of pork
Hon. James G. Blaine.
-
What is true of wheat is equally
true of other grains. Tberefore.the
farmer has practically no protection at
all.-Hon. VIM. B. Allison.
-
A system which gives 10 a Wander

the dreams of avarice, and condemns
the poor to a poverty which has no
refuge from starvation except the
prison or the grave.-Hon. John I.
