THE REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COM
MITTEE GETS RATIFIED.

There was CONSERVATION at repub-
lican headquarters the other day
when il was reported that an investi-
cation was to be made of the violation
of the law in the abuse of the frank
ing privilege by the committee. A
large installment of franked envel-
opes had just been received, and the
entire force of the Office was kept
busy until after three o'clock the
next morning In order to get the stuff
out Of the wav before the expected
arrival of officers to make the investi-
cation. This manifestation Of fear
was all unnecessary, for, while it is
we'll known that the law Is being vio-
lated every day, it IS also we'll known
that the postal department winks at
such violation SO long as it is in the
interest Of the republican party. No
man could ever be convicted or pun
ished for these abuses.

connected with this scheme. Who
ever they may be, they have unques-

their calling under the republican
government of Kansas; and if our
citizens expect to be secure, either in
their persons or property, they will

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN, CAMPAIGN
ISLANDER SET AT BEST.

The party that builds its hopes
upon perjury and forgery, few days
ago circulated the report that s. Ell.
Snider had abandoned the Peoples
party and offered his services for the
remainder of the campaign to the re-
publican central committee. Every
person who knows Mr.. Snider knew
the report was a lie, as everybody
knew the report that Mrs. Lease ad-
vised the Peoples party of Kansas to
vote for Harrison, was a lie. Mr..
Snider sets the matter at rest in the
following letter:
GARNErT, KAs., October 26.-The report
that have gone over to the republican
party is wholly without foundation. Ipro-
pose to fight them as long as they have an
organization. s. H. SNIDER.
We were apprised several days
before the announcement of Mr.. Sni-
der's treachery, that it was coming.
The plot leaked out from republican
headquarters and men who are now
working in our office heard it talked
of among the knowing ones several
days before the story appeared in the
morning papers. And this is cam
paign of argument, we are told.

The poor old Capital, when il
heard of the outrage about a month
after it was committed, published the
very gauzy statement that it was done
by mischievous Peoples party boys.
Such q tale was too silly for even the
Capital itself to think it would be be-
lieved by anybody; but it had to say
something, and this was the best
story it was able to invent. Like the
dynamite scheme and the murder of
Sam Wood, this outrage will be
traced home, and the republican
party will have to father it.

our speakers of his exploits in In

THREATENED ASSASSINATION OF
Jerry SIMPSON,

days ago by the publication of letters
disclosing a conspiracy to assassinate
Congressman Simpson. Over-sensi'
tive republican editors, remembering
the Coffeyville dynamite outrage oi
1883, the murder of Sam Wood, and
other crimes that have been traced tc
the doors of republican managers
fastened at once, and without any
investigation of the facts or clrcum'
stances of the case, to declare the
whole story fake. No one had
charged this conspiracy to the pres
ent managers, but they were fearful
that somebody avoatld do SO, and hence
the haste in pronouncing the story a
fake. We have altogether another
theory of it.
Mr.. Simpson, both in his campaign
and on former occasions, has been un-
sparing in his condemnation of the
infamous Botkin-Brennan ring that
has terrorized western Kansas and
murdered peaceable citizens with i'm
punity, and has, in various ways, ex-
cited the bltterest enmity of that
gang. Would it be surprising for
such an outfit to conspire to murder
HIM? Does any Kansan believe that
the murderers of Sam Wood are too
good to murder Jerry Simpson or
any other man who has incurred their
bitter hatred? That the story is not
fake, those who have talked with
Mr.. Coulson and investigated the cir
cumstances attending the discovery
of the letters, are fully satisfied; and
there is no more probable theory Of
the contemplated crime than that
those who have heretofore expressed
so much bitterness and personal ami
mostly should have concocted the
scheme
The fact that Sam Woods murder
ers are free men, that there is no law
in Kansas to punish them, and that
one of the conspirators continued to
be sustained in Office by the republi-
can party long after the crime was
committed and the direct instrument
of the murder set at liberty, is
calculated to encourage this method
of disposlng of personal enemies; and,
while the party managers may not be
personally connected with the pres
ent conspiracy, the past history of the
party is such as not to place il
above suspicion; and its agency in
sustaining Judge Botkin, and con-
doning the murder of Sam Wood
will be a constant encouragement
to like crimes as long as the party
remains in power.
The letters have been already pub
lished in the daily papers. The story
of their discovery and the clrcum
stances leading to their publication
we quote from the Kansas City Stal
as follows:
Some one writing at different times ovel

THE SILVER MEN.

1t will now be in order for tho cranky
free silver people to call national conven-
ton and nominate unlimited coinage can
didates for president and vice-president.
1t is true the Omaha platform is sufficiently
free" on the silver question to satisfy the
most pronounced advocate of the white
install; but there are some good and bright
men among the silverites and we assume
they will not swallow all the Omaha hog
wash for the sake of getting the free coinage
part of the PRONUNCIATION. Furthermore,
General WEAvER's ''rag baby" fad is not
entirely pleasing to the honest bi-metal-
list. As matter of fact the average sil-
yer man loves WEAVER less than he does
either CLEVELAND or HARRIsoN, for your
average silver man, while he may be ear
nest to the degree OF fanaticism, lacks II
good deal Of being 9 downright fool
The four parties having held their con-
ventions and nominated men not at all
satisfactory to the free coinage people,
there are two courses open to the
silverites. One is to play the idiot-that is
to say, call a national convention, nominate
STEWART, WARNER, PATTERSON or some
other follow who will be content to stand
on O platform having but single plank and
throw their votes away on him, the other
is TO fall back into line with their respec-
tive parties, and like true, earnest, intelli-
gent men, work for free coinage through
the only channels by which it can ever be
obtained.

aAERANeEMENrs. Nor NEoessARY

A rumor has renched US that certain
Liberals have approached certain Demo-
Gratis with view to an arrangement by
which the Democratic party and the So
called Liberal Democrats can harmonic.
1t has been said that consultation among
tie leaders would undoubtedly arrange
matters to the satisfaction Of all concerned.
just how much there is TO these rumors,
or whether or not there is anything, The
HERALD Goes not pretend to say; but
speaking for itself and the Utah Democ-
racy this paper can say that no bargains
can be entered into by anybody, no trading
can be INDUCED in, nobody can make over
lures to factions or enter into arrange
ments which will be binding upon the
Democratic party. The Utah Democracy
are firmly organized and in complete work
ing order. Their party machinery is com
plete and perfect. Their principles are
Democratic and they are in every
respect ia harmony with the Dem
ocracy Of the nation. The place
for al Democrats in the territory
is within the party. Indeed, men cannot
be Democrats aud remain outside the
party. The situation is just this: No mat
ter what man may profess to the con-
trary, be Is not Democrat while he is out
side the organization and training with
some other party.
There is no chance for arrangements"
or compromises" or concessions" so far
as the Democracy are concerned. If there
are men who believe in Democratic princi-
pies, they know what to do and where 10
come They will know that their place is
In line with Democrats, and not with 90
cieties opposed to Democracy. Democrats
will be found with their party at the pri-
maries, in the conventions and at the polls,
and they won't go to those places because
they have entered into arrangements with
other Democrats to 60.

oRJEoTs OF SYMPATHY.

1t excites ones sympathy, rather than
his anger or con tempt, when men pre-
sumed TO be sane indulge in such ludicrous
proceedings as those which characterized
the Omaha convention. It Is matter for
regret that intelligent men will turn them
selves into cranks and deliberately under
take vain things. When we see men do
these things we cannot hut be thankful
that their insanity is not OF the violent
order, as otherwise the tax for the enlarge-
ment of the ssylums would be burden
some.
It is well enough for men to protest
against evils within the parties, and try to
cure them; it is well enough for indiyid-
uals to seek to impress their ideas upon
others and get those others to accept and
adopt them; but it degenerates into crank.

which was plea for better treatment of

TIE IDAHO h0RNnNS.

An Idaho Republican makes it point to
tell q party organ that there will be 40
Mormon vote this year in the state named.
If he had meant TO say there would be no
Mormon vote as distinctive from Gentle
VOTE he would have been correct; but he
did not mean that. He intended to say,
and desired TO be so understood, that Nor
mon citizens of Idaho would not vote this
year, being prevented by the enforcement
of the Republican disfranchisement law.
OF course TIE HERALD will not pretend to
say what the Mormons in Idaho will do
when it comes to registration and voting;
but we will say that if they do not make
an effort to exercise all the rights of citi-
zenship. they viii be negligent in the mat
ter o. duty to themselves and the state.
The law by which certain Republicans
would seek to prevent members of the
Mormon church from voting, is clearly
invalid, and while few fanatics might
want to employ it to keep the churchmen
away from the polls, it is doubted that the
Idaho courts would uphold the bigots.
The public sentiment OF Idaho has under
gone a similar change to that which has
taken place in this territory since the dis
continuance of polygsmy. The Idaho
Mormons are recognized as among the bet
ter, the more progressive and more useful
citizens of the state. and the popular feel
ing is that the Saints having conformed TO
the demands of the age they should be per-
mitted the rights and privileges enjoyed by
other good citizens. There are yet some
anti Mormon cranks in Idaho, just as there
are few in Utah, but fortunately they are
lacking in power and influence and no
longer direct the public mind.
We believe the Idaho Mormons will vote
in November the same as the other quail
fed citizens, not as Mormons for Mormon
candidates, but as Democrats and Republi-
cans for the regular nominees of the
1artioa
