Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1892-11-03
HE CANNOT Lose.
Jerry Simpson Will Be REFLECTED By
A Good Majority In November.

Chester L. Long is going to defeat Jerry
Simpson, the peoples champion, or has
an idea that the republican leaders
think so, he should make an inyestiga-
tion. The repubfieans simply claim
the election, that is all. Their commit
teemen refuse to give out figures and
their betting men dare not place dol
lar ON the result.
On the other hand democratic and
peoples party chairmen have always
been willing to tell all they knew of how
the fight was progressing. All three
parties have made polls of the district
and only the republicans refuse to dis
close the result of their work. Betting
men have thousands Of dollars ready to
place on Simpson andc an find no taker
This tells who is really confident. The
know they are beaten. All
their hope is based on the effect of the
which will be used layishly on
election day.
The democrats poll has been carefully
prepared in every county in the district
save Sumner which has not reported
in full. The poll in round numbers
without Sumner. county is as follow:
Simpson, $4,000; Long, q 600. Sum-
ner county had been polled on congress
man alone and shows majority Of 500
for Simpson. So the complete poll of
the district gives Simpson majority
of $500 coneeding to Long everything
doubtful.
In thirteen of the counties small los
seS are counted while in fact losses are
really expected in more than few
counties. These losses are the results
of conservative estimates. There are
decided gains in many.
The peoples party poll was completed
yesterday afternoon aid chairman
Fred Bailey compiled the figures. 1t
estimates the vote as follows: Simp-
son, 33,153; Long, 1854; doubtful,
2, ,460. The poll counts on a much
larger vote than was polled two years
ago when Simpson got 32,ee3 votes and
Hallowell 25,lSl votes.
In the democratic poll outside of
Sumner county it is estimated that
Lewelling will run 1000 votes ahead of
Simpson and that the electoral ticket
will be 1000 votes ahead Of Lewelling.
According to this Lewelling is expect
ed to get nearly 5000 majority in the
district and the electoral ticket 9,OOO."
IN THE Register of September 25,
1890, we find the following delectable
morsel for the half dozen democrats in
this county who declare their intention
of voting the republican ticket. 1t is
part of ingalls, speech, and was repro
duced by Caraway as something good"
''If man is democrat, in Gods
name let him be a democrat. Applause.
He that is filthy let him be filthy still.
Laughter and prolonged cheering.1'
Laughter and prolonged cheering
will be what any such expression as
that will get from republicans.
To THOSE people who believe in a
clean and gentlemanly political can
vass; who believe that decency and
moderation should govern all people,
and especially people who profess
Christianity, we refer the following
delectaDle morseI in the Register of
last week:
Lay aside your prejudices and vote
on the Sth of November for Kansas and
for principle, and to send the malicious
liar traducer and scoundrel, to hell and
not to congressional halls. Better men
were hung at Chicago as anarchists
than Jerry Simpson, who hates man
and abhors God"
Elegant language, indeedl We pre-.
sumo Caraway got down on his krees,
in the private sanctuary of his home,
and prayed to the good LOId for inspir-
alton before he wrote the abovel Shame
shame upon such foul, indecent
vindictive spirit in man who ought to
be respectable but does not know how
We cannot believe that the good peo
pie of this county, will uphold fellow
of such low sense of propriety. such
lack of deeency and fairness as Cara.
| way shows himself to be in his paper
OF last week. As chairman of the re.
publican congressional committee he
went over TO Hoisington, to Simpson:
meeting, to pick fuss. He got it, and
got inglorious,y spanked for his pains
! He should have had the manhood tG
take his medicine like a man, aud not
come home and biubber and below
around, and insult his readers and dis
grace the church to which he belong:
by getting down into the depths o.
vilest language 20 vent his spleen upor
one who knows more in a minute, ba.
more sense of honor and business, thar
Caraway ever did OF ever will know o.
possess.
