Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1892-04-28

ed States, by force OF arms, from the revolution
TO the rebeldon; every foot OF son added to our
territory from the surrender of CORVALLIS to
the purchase OF the God-forsaken peaks of Alas
ka, were effected with democratic adnninistra-
ton And while would not for my right hand
withhold the gratitude Of my heart from any
man who battled for the eternal oneness OF my
country; still want my party to have its place
on the muster-ron of that splendid, patriotic
endeayor. The record Of the country shows that
in the dark hours OF 1851, when wars hos
breath, like blast from he'll, startled the whole
nation the leader par excellence of the demo
cratic party-the immortal. Douglass-was the
first, the very first, to sound the alarm and
warn his countrynen. from ocean to ocean.
''that the directeSt road to peace lies in the
most stupendous preparations for war"
The record of the country shows that hum
dreds of thousands Of democrats under the in.
SEPARATION of that patriotism which believe Is
inherent in the masses of all parties, sprang to
the defense of their imperiled country, and in
the morass and on the mountain, by land and
by sea, in burning and drenching storm,
with their lives in their hands, through all the
rain of shot and shell, kept steady pace with
the music of the union The record shows that
majority of the commanding generals who
won distinction in the war of the rebellion, not
the ''plumed knights, - but the heroes whose
genius conceived the plans of battle; whose
valor led the intrepid hosts through lurid
flames of death; who scaled the ramparts of
the enemy, drove lurking treason from its last
hiding place, hoated the flag of the nation from
the dome OF the confederate capitol and sent
the fame of the intrepid. fearless, peerless
''boys in blue ringing round the world, were
democrats.
Grand old party of my fathers, Born amid
the throes and agonies of revolution, its infancy
was rocked in the cradle of American freedom;
for more than sixty years it administered the
affairs and developed the resources of the coun-
try Of his love; its genius measured the posi-
billtieS of freedom and its wisdom lifted the ma
ton from one degree of excellence to another,
from one plane of glory to another. until the OBJ
iect of its and devotion stood forth the most
splendid fabric of government in all the shining
circuit of the sun; at all times and under all
circumstances, in prosperity and in adversely,
amid dangers from without and connections
within, in peace and in war, the democratic
party has stood for liberty, justice and law.
Party of Jefferson and Jacksonl party of Han
cock and McClellan party of Tilden and Cleve-
land party of the morning struggle of the
public! party of its monday glory! bid you
''Hail and God-speed.'

He Favors Free Trade and Government
Control of Railroads and the Telegraph.
GRAFTON, w. Va, April 1S.-A large
gathering of farmers listened to Jerry
Simpson, of Kansas, in the opera house
Saturday. He pitched into the republic
an doctrine of protection, and SAID
that the more the farmers were
protected the poorer they got.
He was glad that the dem.
ocrats of the house had placed wool on
the free list, and hoped the time was
not far distant when there would be alb
solute free trade. He favored govern
ment control of railroads and telegraph,
and said that from the fattering re-
psrts received from the west and south
he felt sure that the agriculturists
would hold the balance of power in the
next house.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Termination

To go out Of doors i'll rough weather is
not strong, but we are, many of us, COM
PEELED TO face rough weather frequently.
Diseases which arise from a chill are pc
culiar to no season of the year. This is
true, therefore there should be in the
closel Of every household-what? Not
an unmedicated stimulant, absolutely de-
void of anything but an eXcitive action,
but tonic combining, in the effective
form Of an invigorant and an Alternative.
the quality of defense against changes of
weather. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
has three or four properties that no other
article Of its class possesses. Not only
does it relieve the complaints which it
eventually cures. it fortifies the system
against the bad effects Of changes Of tenn
perature, fatally and too often shown in
the deadly form Of ia grippe; it pro-
duces a radical change in the weakened
condition of system peculiarly liable to
be attacked by it, and it tends to provide
against the danger resulting from an inn
poverished condition of the blood and a
disordered state Of the liver or bowels.
