Some Speedy Stock,

! D. N. Heller has taken an interes
with Rev. Thompson in the three year
old stallion colt, owned in partnership
with Judge Vandevert, arthur Lar
kin-No. 1861" This colt carries in
| his veins the blood of the fastest horses
on the trotting turf. His sire was the
game young horse Norman Medium
record 2:2O, half brother to Nancy
Hanks 2:O4, and one Of the very best
bred colts Of the great Happy Medium.
His dam was by Edward Everett, the
sire of the fastest average speed of any
son of Hambletonian and her first colt
| trotted the past year to record Of
2:20 1-9. His second dam had a record
of 2:29 and public trial of 2:23 made
| many years ago when fast records
were not the order of the day, or
sought after. His third dam is in the
great brood mare list, with number
| of descendants in the 2:30 list. The
dam of his sire has three between 2:20
and 2:30 and two more close to the
| list. The dam of his grand sire, the
great Happy Medium was the Califor-
MIA wonder of her day the famous
Princess, holding for several years the
ten mile national record, time 90 min
Isutes. Thus on both sire and dam side
| he is from two of the greatest sons of
Hambletonian, and closely connected
| with the greatest producers and per-
formers that have ever yet appeared.
| He is, as far as is known, the only
| horse in the state by a 2:20 performer
out of mare with 2:2O record
and is perhaps the only horse in the
state with three producing and per-
forming generations of ancestors on
both sides. He stands alone, uniting in
one, two Of the first three horses making
PIP race record, Nancy Hanks
| on one side, and Delmarch on the
other. But not only in speed inheri-
| lance does he excel, but he was him
self phenomenal youngster, showing
speed before year old that made him
a candidate for the yearling record.
And but for the fact that his great
promise led to overwork at this early
stage, causing an injury to one Of his
legs he would doubtless now be among
his famous relatives with fast records
attached to their names. AS it is, it is
hoped that he may sufficiently recover
some day to show what his real capaci-
ty is, and he will at any rate no doubt
prove his merits in the stock descending
from him. Heh has been brought to Great
Bend, where he will be kept few
weeks for use on the Park Grove Stock
Farm OF Mr.. Heller, then he will be
returned to the care of Judge Vandi-
vert at Kinsley.

Saturday, that the first time Chester
said "stand up for Kansas" the faithful
should all rise to their feet. When the

you DEMOCRATS who have thought of
voting for my opponent. Jerry Simp-

preacher, and their kids, stood up.

REPUBLICAN papers ,etell US that
there will be straight out" democratic
speaking at such and such time and
place. If they should happen to make
the mistake of being truthful when
they report such meetings they will al
so tell that the audiences who go to
hear such speakers, and applaud their
efforts, are also republicans. No self
respecting democrat will prostitute his
principles and gather odium to his
name by travelling over the state max
ing speeches in the interest of the re-
publican party.

Col. Stewards opened the meeting
with very sensible talk on his can

Used to do all in his power to secure
lower freight rates, and related what
he had done in the past which was to
his credit. He said he would vote fol
man for senator as near like the late
Senator Plumb as possible. He pledg-

what he has done in the past'' in the
way of kicking out of the party and
helping to organize the resubmisSion
republicans to the end of defeating, if
possible, the Humphrey ticket in 1890
In 1892, however, the Col. "pledges
himself to do all he can to strengthen
the prohibitory liquor law" "When
the devil was sick. the devil a saint
would be; when the devil was we'll,
a devil of saint was he" Democrats
of Barton county want no man in the
Kansas legislature who will bolster up
the prohibitory liquor law; neither do
they want a man there who will vote
for United States senator who would
be governed by republican caucus rule
on all vital questions.

court,has rendered decision sustain :
ing the Miner law, which law provides
for the election of presidential electors

WHEN the honest, thinking voters oe
Kansas thoroughly understand that the
republican party is using the railroads
as well as the state Offices to further
the party's interest, as was so plainly
shown by Judge Martin in his address
IN this city, the feeling of revulsioE
against that party will be greatly in
creased, and it will lose thousands of
votes thereby. There are still men
who hold allegiance to republicanism
who possess sense of honor and in

them to longer cast their votes with a

respondent says, of the Long demon

formed by the wagons of the farmers
was double in length, and three times
as large in numbers of voters as that of
the Simpson parade" Again: 1.-THE
rally was the largest and most enthusi

IT IS surprising how utterly con-
temptible, little, mean, picayunish
some sepublican cranks can be in the
heat of campaign. Poor old Towns
ley attended the John Martin meeting
and though he squirmed and cringed,
and slobbered at the corners of his
mouth when Judge Martin showed up
the perfidY of the republican managers
he, Townsley, did not possess sufficient
manhood to make even a decent COM
ment On Judge Martins effort, but got
down on his rusty old stomach and
wallowed III the filth and slime of dis
graceful, willful, lying .misrepresenta-
ton of what the speaker said. 1t is a
pity there is not some law to punish
such exhibitions of party spleen and
peurile pig headedness. The old dis
appointment on legs will one day re-
greet that he forgot his manhood, his
honor, and his God so far as to perpe-
trate the paragraph of virility that ap-
peared in the Tribune of last week.

You may have noticed the voium-
inous political slush that has appeared
in the Tribune of this city and the
Leader of Pawnee Rock, the last few
weeks; that fine print matter, with fig
ures, tables, badly executed characters
etc. For fear some one might think
the Tribune and Leader are showing
enterprise in getting up so much politl-
cal matter, we would explain that the
matter is furnished them in plates, all
ready to print from, at the expense of
the republican campaign committee.
We got circular offering to furnish
the matter for the DEMOCRAT free of
cost; but having decided that our read
ers desired something interesting to
read we respectfully declined burden

put Mark onto the snap, however, and
