The Typical American,

IF 1 am to name the typical Ameri-
can, the man who loves and believes in
country beyond every ything else, the
man who, determining once in which
direction his duty leads, cannot be
swerved from the path-the man who
is doggedly persistent in what he be-
lieves TO be right-the man who thinks
not of self, but of his country and its
needs, would name GROVER CLEvE-
LAND. What he has accomplished is
the very highest attribute to the possi-
bilites of an American citizenship. A
country lawyer in the city of Buffalo,
he shed luster on the high profession
which he had chosen.
AS the mayor of his native city he
presented as his record clean and eco
nomical administration. Coming into
the highest position of the land with
out previous experience, and without
scarcely precedent to guide him in the
conditions which surround him, he won
the affection of his party and COM
manded the respect and admiration of
his opponents. l find myself in one of
the proudest positions ot my life in be-
ing permitted to present to you Grover
Cleveland as the typical American
Chauncy NJ. Depew.

A Tnfe Late.

John Bobbitt of Winfield, Kan, writes
as follows to Editor McIntire of the Ar
kansas City Democrat. 1t is something
which all Kansas democrats will appre-
ciate: "Dear Sir and Friend-I am all
broke up on politics. The democratic
convention at Topeka indorsed the peo.
pies party ticket from top to bottom
and, after. due consideration, conclud.
ed that it was all right and that it was
the proper thing to do. But after had
hung out my flag for Lewelling and the
other fellows evidence began to accumu.
late from republican sources that the
democratic party had always been a
party of principles; that it had been a
brave, courageous, patriotic party; and
some republican papers go SO far as to
intimate that the democratic party was
loyal, and that individual democrats
drank very little whisky, and never did
steal a horse, no, never! That we were
good readers and don't stick out our

you wonder, that when find all these
virtues ascribed to the democratic party
by the republicans of Kansas. whose
veracity we (never) doubted, I am dis
consolate for having even temporarily
abandoned such party, for the purpose
of defeating the republican party, and
several of my republican friends have
assured me that they felt just as bad
about it as did. However if the repub-
icans are defeated they will have no
one to blame but themselves. They
should have impaired their information
to US sooner. They have always con.
tended that we didn't have any prin-
ciple, that we were dirty, whisky demo-
Gratis; rebel democrats; that all demo
Gratis were not horse thives, but all
horse thieves were democrats, and we
thought they ment it. But they say
they did not mean it at all, that they
always knew we were grand, glorious,
patriotic, courageous, loyal party, and
had principles"

From one of the "Straights"

John G. Sheridan of Paola, in an ex-
haustive letter to the Kansas City
Times, sends out some shoulderhits
that every democrat in Kansas should
read.
After speaking of the action of the
state democratic convention in nom-
mating the peoples party candidate,
and urging upon democrats the neces-
siLy of standing by the convention, he
says:
"The news of wholesale, unprovoked
and coldblooded murder of innocent
mechanics and laborers in the peace
of the state and presence of their wives
and children, by the hired and hated
Pinkertons, uniformed, armed and fort
flied, 800 strong, in violation of the law,
by Andrew Carnegie, who made mill
lions out of republican tariff legislation.
and contributed so freely to their CAM
paign funds so Dudley might buy votes
''in blocks of e,"-news like this
startling the whole country at the hour
Of the convention, which remembered
that ON Harrlson'S recent nomination
Carnegie cabled him from his several
tariff built mansions that the American
people knew good thing when they
had it, was enough to make the demo.
Gratis submit to any humiliation or sac
rifice to defeat Harrison and all his
campaign ''fat" industries.
1.-The government must be wrested
from the hands of such party or there
will be no end of coalitions.
1.-THE hour of democratic duty is al
hand. No one can halt, hesitate, grum-
BILE, shirk or bolt without drawing on
his own head the consequences of dis.
loyalty. Let every democratic organiza-
t1on and paper in the state carry on the
campaign till the polls close. Let them
run their own concerts, hold their
meetings, do their work, only work
harder because there is more hope, and
to see to it that every democrat under
stands his duty and votes the ticket
which must then surely win. Let him
say if he wants to when he votes it
''This is not the straight democratic
stuff, but like old Rip Van Wlnkle
will not count this time, but next yeal
and hereafter forever the democratic
banner must be unfurled, democratic
tickets provided at every polling pre-
cinct in the land and all opposition tt

WHILE the democrats of the south
have been steadfast, and those of the
east re NAMED true to the faith, it must
be admitted that the party's greatest
growth has been in the west, more es-
pecially in the states lying within what
is called the great northwest. Ten
years ago this portion of the country
was dominated by the republicans, and
two-thirds of the congressman from
these states were of that party. All
this has changed, and to-day the gov
ernors of Nebraska, Wisconsin, Miehi-
gan and Iowa are democrats. Indiana
is represented in congress by IL demo-
Gratis and 2 republicans, in Ohio it is IA
to z, in Minnesota to /, Michigan
to 8, Iowa 8 to 5; no republicans from
Nebraska and only from Kansas.
States that formerly gave 25,0 900 to 3d.
900 republican majority are now found
in the democratic column or are in the
doubtful list with most decided demo-
cratic leanings.-Albany Advocate.

THE democratic-al alliance state ticket.
including the electors and congressman
at-large, is composed of eleven former
democrats, six former republicans
an1 one former prohibitionist. There
was no ''sell out'' to the democrats, as
charged by some of our republican ex-
changes, but it is fact that the ''for-
mer" democrats got the lions share IN
the distribution Of the offices, and this
undoubtedly had great deal to do with
the action of the late democratic state
