We Appreciate the Compliments.

AS the Register of this city has taken
upon itself the business OF making a
a personal attack upon the editor of
tie DEMOCRAT because we are asking
the endorsement of the people for our
candidacy for the position Of post
master at Great Bend, We will here
give a few of the comments of the
neighboring newspapers, as a pleasant
contrast to the jealous and vituperative
gangrene that exudes from the crackid
brain of the Register editor:
MIR. Stoke is mentioned in connec-
tion with the Great Bend postoffice.

Rock Leader, (Rep.l
Nv. E. Stoke is very prominently
mentioned for the position of postmas-
ter in Great Bend. Considering his
ability, and the large amount of work
he has done for the democratic party,
it looks as though the democrats of
Great Bend could not do better than
honor him with the position. ."-Ellin-
wood Advocate, (Dem.)
will Stoke, of the Great Bend Dem
OCRAT, announces himself through his
paper, as candidate for postmaster at

remembered. for to them Cleveland

nothing like asking for it anyhow
Cladin Banner, (Rep.l
Will E. Stoke, of the Great Bend
DEMOCRAT, is one of sthe Arkansas
Valley editors who deserves recognition
from the democratic national admins

master AT Great Bend and it seems to
be very generally conceded that this
will be about the size of his reward. +"

OUR HORSE INTERESTS
Horse Sales.

The impression has been general that
the unprecedented number of trotting
horse sales of large proportions would
cause stampede in prices and paral-
lyze the market for some time to come.
Never before, and not likely to occur
again, has there followed one after an
other in rapid succession the deaths of
80 many owners of large horse farms,
putting their stock upon the market
along with the usual Writers s,les of
the large establishments; and some-
thing of panicy feeling among "a class
of owners, has induced the great food
to be turned on the market all at once
with something of an Ominous warn
ing at the same time to buyers to be
careful how they laid out their money.
But no such collapse as was expected,
has come about, and while fewer fabu
lous prices have been realized taan on
tendency has been to healthier
condition and more reasonable and set
tied basis than has ever previously OBJ
tanned.
The average for first class stock has
been still very high, while lower grades
have found AS much recognition as their
merit demanded. A few examples of
later auction sales will sufficiently
illustrate the exact position, and run of
affairs.
The Holbert estate sold 66 head,
which realized the sum of S2O7 800, an
average per head Of 3,148.
The BOwerman and Boswell consign-
ment, consisting of As head, sold for
SlO9 ,l20, an average of So, ,224 per head.

Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1893-02-02
SENATOR JOHN MARTIN.

In the election of Judge John Martin
to the position of U. S. senator the
Kansas legislature of 1893 has done
more towards placing man in Wash
ington who will work for the interests
of Kansas people than has ever before
been done by the legislature of our
state. We have believed all along that
the men who compose majority of the
present legislature would consider the
interests of the great masses of people
and do that which would advance those
interests the most surely and certainly.
Senator Martin is thorough Kansan,
a man of the people, and he goes to
Washington 20 meet and work with an
administration which is pledged to the
peoples interests. He was not selected
at the behest of corporations or Of poll
ticians, but on the contrary was most
bitterly fought by every element whose
interests are not the interests of the
many.
The republican politicians were will
ing to do anything on earth to defeat
his election; they pulled every string,
worked every scheme. announced them
selves ready to make any compromise
or combination in order to defeat the
wishes of the masses of the common
people, which were that John Martin
be sent to the senate. These same
fellows who SO loudly cried out against
'fusion'-as they called the endorse
ment of the populist ticket by the dem
ocrats, last fall those same fellows
were ready and willing to fuse" with
the handful of democrats in the house
and senate and elect Harris, an eX-
rebel colonel, in preference to John
Martin, the soldiers friend.
And there was also objection, on the
part of some of the peoples party lead
ers. Mrs. Lease fumed'' and fused
about Topeka like a setting hen, and
made all sorts of bitter charges against
the men who made it possible for her
to have party which she assumes to
mother in power. She worked night
and day against the interests of John
Martin, and was aided and abetted by
the most radical and unreasoning ele-
ment in her party.
But thank goodness the sober, honest
judgment and counsel of the friends of
Kansas workmen and Kansas farmers
prevailed, and the eloquent, noble and
tireiess John Martin was honored as he
should be; and long after the wailings
of the baff1ed politicians, the protests
of corporation attorneys, and the
Mysteries of Mollie Lease have been
forgotten, the record that Senator John
Martin will make in the congress of
the United States will be read with
feelings of gratitude by the prosperous
yeomanry of Kansas whose burdens
will be made lighter and whose rights
will be broadened through his earnest
effort and able advocacy.
