neighbors and friends, though one was
an ex-uinon soldier and the other an
ex-rebel. Not having seen each other
since the gar they had many things to
talk about 6pd their journey was made
very pleasant by the Interchange Of

The union soldier was resident of
Kansas, an al ance farmer, by the way,
while the confederate was a prosperous
stock man of Montana. just before
reaching Great Bend, where the union
man was to get off the train, he ban
teringly said to the confederate:

INGALLS, return to- the political
arena has stifened the spine ahd thick
ened the gall of the lesser lights. But
yesterday they branded him a coward
and migrate, but today they bow before
him. His recent speech at Topeka
developed the same iridescent dreamer,
the same venom, the same matchless
gall, the same vicious, poisoned, de-
based and polished rhetoric still leveled
at the democrats, but threatening, like
its true prototype, the viper, to turn
and destroy the bosom that warmed it.
The little fellows gasped and stfig--
gled and surrendered. They accepted
Ingalls, as their returned prodIgaI
prophet and once more renewed their
pledges to ''hire Hessians, to lie, cheat,
defraud, steal, coerce, flatter purchase
and corrupt" the voters in order to
carry the election and secure the Offices
and the privilege of plundering under
the guise of law. The effect is percept-
ible in the tone of republican papers
which are now re-assuming their vii
famous vicious attitude and preparing
to make last hopeless stand against
sound principal, political integrity and
the guaranteed rights of the masses.

State Convention to elect delegates to
the democratic National Convention to
be held at the city of Chicago, ILL.,, on
June III, 1892, the city of Salina was
unanimously selected as the place and
April goth as the time for holding such
convention, and the basis of represen.
tation was fixed upon ting vote of John
Sheridan, presidential elector at large
in 1888 upon the basis of one delegate
for each 800 votes and fraction of $50
or more SO cast. Therefore I, w. c.
Jones, chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, hereby call a
delegate State Convention to meet in
the city of Salina on April 20, 1892, at
o'clock p. M, for the purpose of
electing twenty delegates and twenty
five alternates to the National Demo-
cratic Convention. Six delegates and
six alternates will be selected from the
state at large and two from each Con-
gressional district.
The different counties will be entitled
to the following representation in said

MAJOR HUDSON says of Ingalls,: HE
has no right to belong to the Grand
Army Of the Republic" Are you not
just little of your base, Major? Has
not ingalls, the same right to pull that
political string that you have? Ingalls,
may never have smelled powder or
carried musket or sword, but you
know he once had reputation for be-
ing an expert rebel skinner, and that
ought to give him the right to mingle
with the boys who carried the guns.
It is true, Ingalls, calling was neither
honorable, manly or American; but
that need not count against him in re-
publican Kansas. If he, with his rasp-
ing tongue, could fay alive a rebel
colonel or two, as you wee wont to
brag about. you should not quibble
about his rights" as a Kansas repub-
lican republican. &

There is much discussion anasng
democrats as to whether or nas kansas
delegates to the national esaVgntiop
should go instructed.
There is evidently great enthusiasm
throughout the state for the renomIiia-
tion of Grover Cleveland for president,
and the sentiment has apparently been
growing rapidly the last few weeks.
There is also unanimous expression
by Kansas democrats for free coinage
of silver platform.
With these two facts in view, We
cannot think it quite consistent to send
a delegation from Kansas to Chicago
with instructions to support any man
in particular. Ours is party of the
people, the common people; rlis party
of the farmer and laborer, and always
has been such; therefore its represeta-
tiyes to its national convention should
be left free and united by Instructions,
so that they may the better work fer
the peoples interests in formulating
our national platform and naming Our
leader.
There is, also, an effort being made
by few democrats in the state 10
create a following for Senator Hill, and
there are now candidates in the Geld
for delegates to the Chicago convention
whose main object i'll getting on the
delegation is to get into position to
further Hills plans. Kansas democrats
want none of that, and we do not be-
lieve any man can get into the national
convention from Kansas who has been
working the Hill racket.
Barton county democrats should con-
slider the situation gravely, and every
man with bit of interest in our .sarty g
success should turn out to the primaries
and the county convention, and raise
his voice for the right.
American politics has reached
turning point; democrats have now
every opportunity of being Sin the
swim" if they get to work with the
are nearing log sought goal and only
need another strong pull to reach it.

SIX thousand five hundred workmen

says the New York sun. 1t was authorized
by Congress as vessel of about 5000 tons
displacement. The limit of price, exclusive
of armament and Of bonus for extra speed
was fixed at S1,1Oo,00O. The plans were
duly made, and called for an average speed
OF nineteen knots, maintained for four COIL
secutve hours. with premium of $50 900
for each quarter knot additional, and a de-
duction Of the same amount for each quarter
knot Of deficiency.
But when, during the summer of 1889,
proposals were opened, it was found that
the bidders. SO far from expecting to earn a
bonus of 100000 by getting a speed of
twenty knots, were unwilling to guarantee
even nineteen knots, except at price
higher than the one fixed by Congress.
Accordingly Secretary Tracy decided to
build in the nayy-yard should the bidding
prove satisfactory. No S. now at Raj

yard. Chief Constructor Wilson sent word
