TARIFF THE ISSUE.



Cleveland, o., Aug. Civ Me
Kinley, in answering Il question as to
what he thought of the democratic
state convention and its nominee for
governor, said that Lawrence T. Neal
was a gentleman and that considering
the prominent part he had taken in
the Chicago convention it was but
right and logical that he should re
ceiye the nomination.
Mr. Meals nomination. he contin-
ued, means that there will be no STad

tie will be a square, open, clearly de-
fined one between the party that has
declared for a stand by Il protective
tariff and the party that demands 4

How CAN republican candidate for
county office go before an intelligent
audience and assert that all the evils
that this country is suffering under are
chargeable to the democratic party, and
expect thereby to win democratic
votes? No intelligent democrat WHO
has given any thought to political ques-
tions and has seen the evils of republic
canism piling up Oh the country year
after year for the last quarter of
century that party has been in CONTROL
in both state and nation will for a mo-
ment forget his democracy SO far as to
give aid to candidate who will make
that kind of talk. A speech to that
effect was made in the west part of
the county not very long ago; and while
the candidate making it may not think
he spoke very loud, We can assure him
the echo has reached the solid demo-
cratic east end and is avery discordant
sound that does not make music to the
democratic ear.

They are telling ali such stuff in order

Tale Of Woe.

The following story is told by one of
our exchanges:
Last Friday night party of blithe
and joyous picnicers went forth into
the deep shady avenues of the dark
and gloomy forests to breathe the
balmy ozone and eat lemonade and
drink ice cream on the grassy sward
by moonlight love, when the nighten-
gales song was in tune and tue whip
porwiil teetered upon the boughs
aboye and the katydid disputed with
the wife of its bosom and the wood
tick whetted his tushes on the trees
and the green grass grew all around,
all around, and the green grass grew
all around. The young men were
dressed in their best clothes and
patent leather pumps. The young
ladies were clad in tulle or MULE or
white swiss or papier mache OF gren-
adler or some other white and fluffy
stuff through which the cold breezes
sifted like sand through a riddle. The
air was redolent with pennyroyal and
chewing gum. When the happy pic
nicers had ALT, or alighted, as it were.
and were in the act of spreading their
deviled eggs and ham sandwiches and
sweet pickles and red tablecloths over
the prostrste forms of the terror
stricken insects, a cloud loaded with
about a million barrels of water burst
upon them!
The thunder rolled, the lightning
! flashed, the torrents fell and on them
dashed, their garments soon with mud
were Splashed, and all the ladies hats
were mashed. The grub was soaked
the rain still fell, the deviled eggs
mixed with the jell, the pickles and
the ham as well, were fioated down the
sandy dell; there is word that
rhymes with yell, that we could use
| here just as well.) Tie rain fell like
waterfall, and soon tn ladies gowns
and all, fit like the paper on the wall

THE republican managers of this
county are certainly becoming desper-
ate when they resort to the schemes
that have lately been unearthed, to
gain votes. For instance: they have
served notice that they shall object to
the democratic ticket being printed on
the ballot, assuming to construe the
new law to read such way that would
enable them to have such an objection
sustained. After this objection has
been filed, they then put their strikers
to work in certain localities to tell the
democratic voters that there will be mo
democratic ticket printed on the bal
lotsn that democrats must either vote
the republican ticket or the populist
ticket" etc. They know very well
that the democratic ticket, nominated
on the 18th of August by regular
democratic convention, regularly called
by the regular democratic county GEN.
trail committee, and regularly held, will
be printed on the ballot just the same
as will be the populist or republican
tickets. The republicans who conceiv-
ed that brightly idea, of stating that
they would disfranchise democrats for
the purpose of making democrats mad
enough to vote for their candidates are
certainly not good judges of human
nature if they think such course
would win them votes. When the bal
lots are arranged-as they will have to
be before election day-we will publish
a sample of the same, and when demo-
cratic voters to whom the republicans
have been telling those Fairy stories
about mo ticket,;' see the falsity of
their assertions they will more fully
realize how desperate the G. o. p. boys
are getting in these days of their disso-
luton.

The old soldiers down in Rice county

slobbered over the boys in their endear-

but just as fast as an old soldier came
before the convention for nomination
he was showed under and the young
fellows who had been slated were NOM
mated. There was an old soldier cam
didate for every Office; but only one
the candidate for coroner-was chosen.
The old boys got the resolutions-that
was all the G. o. p. convention could
give them. Right in this connection it
may not be out of place to remark that
My. Gilmore, about'the only old soldier
who sought a nomination in Barton
county, was knocked out early in the
game-he could not ge ton their pro

milton was given the boys by placing
Charley Montgomery on the ticket for
Commissioner; but when we remember
that he is in district that's overwbelm
ingly democratic, and has not the least
chance of an election, his recognition
as an old soldier is not very fiattering.
