NOTES.
Fred Walker came pretty near an
nouncing the result of the votes in
advance of the chair.
Herr Most's description of ''demo-
craft" did not tally with some descrip-
tions he has heretofore given. He is
learning slowly.
Delegates Goatley. Newton, Bruce,
ct al had it sin for" Hank Smith, but
when the Sage of Cheyenne got the
floor the convention "heard something
drap." Hank is unquestionably no
''tenderfoot." and his voice will be
heard long in the land.
A. P. Greene, Fred Walker and Herr
Most were in favor of Sid Newcombe
for county surveyor, and plead his
cause from republican standpoint.
Some of the candidates who received
the smallest informal votes made the
longest announcement" speeches.
The convention was a representative
one, every township being represented.
AT the very least, three -fourths of the
delegates were willing to support some
democrats this fall.

and moved that all delegates take one
side of the room and the visiting states
men the other, which they did.
The nomination of county treasurer
being the first on the order of business,
il was moved by Delegate John Dono-
van, 'sthat the treasurer and register

PRESS COMMENTS.

Kansas City Star: President Cleve-
lands message is the utterance or a
strong man who is by nature the
dauntless and confident leader of men.
1t is characteristic of Mr.. Cleveland
in its courage, in Its elearness, and its
frmness, AS Cleveland has fearlessly
invited the responsibility of leadership
in this crisis it would seem to be good
politics for the democratic congress to
accept his direction and proceed
promptly to action upon the lines
which he has laid down."

THE democratic congress should kee,

THE democratic congress should keep
in mind the position of their party on
the money question; as given at the
head of our editorial columns in the
platform of last year. By strict ad-
herance to the pledges therein made
the present congress can strengthen the
democracy. BY ignoring such pledges
and permitting the country to be con-
tinued under the rule of the same ele-
ment that has so disastrously wrecked
the country under republican CONTROL
the democratic congress can disrupt
and weaken the democracy in three
fourths of the states in the Union.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Grover Cleveland has transmitted
his message to congress, it has been
given out for publication and is being
discussed by every tongue in the land.
To the DEMOCRAT it is a disappoint-
ment. in that it lays too much stress
upon the one idea that the whole blame
of the present financial condition rests
with the sherman act" It is an
open announcement that the admins
tration is in favor of the single gold
standard, is of the opinion that the
country's finances must be governed
by those of other countries; and does
not, in our opinion, offer any immsdi-
ate relief to the vast numbers of the
agricultural and industrial classes who
are today crying for bread, or for en-
ployment, with which to fill the hungry
mouths.
Possibly relief viii come in time.
through restored confidence of capital.
and we earnestly hope that the advo-
Gates of free coinage of silver may not
too long delay the formulation of any
measure for relief, if such a thing is
possible. But we also hope that they
will not give up to the hungry gold
sharks of the land, even if it takes
months Of labor to demonstrate to that
ia congress that true demoe-
racy must prevail
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1893-08-10

DEMOCRATS who meet as delegate s
in county convention next Saturday
should not be influenced by prejudice
or hot words; they should consider that
grave state of affairs exists today,
and that we must not divide our
strength III fghIing each other if we
hopa 10 upbuild the party in the future.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1893-08-10

THE populist county ticket has been
placed before ths people, the demo-
cratic ticket will be named on Satur-
day. and after the winners are named
the republicans will come together and
go through the form of naming their
old officers and starting them out for
the sacrifice.

Chicago Journal (Rep.l president
Cleveland's message, like nearly all his
public utteranoes reminds one of the
song Of the katydid. He says und1s-
puted things in such solemn way.
Fortunately in this instance his solem-
nifty BELTS the gravity of his warning.
From democratic president who
shares 10 the conservative mistrust of
free coinage the message is a very
handsome tribute to the consistent
attitude of John Sherman and the
republican party In sticking to one
subject with earnest insistance, Mr..
Cleveland has thrown on congress the
responsibility for any delay that may
occur in providing relief for the pres
ent situation

Chicago Daily News Qnd.1 There is
no hesitation or uncertainty about the
Presidents conclusion nor of the pro-
cess of reasoning by which he arrived
at it. Regarding the business depres-
sion as the result OF loss of confidence
rather than of any permanent cause,
the president clearly, forcibly and
courageously points out what ne be-
lieves to be the remedy. His message
lays down the administration program.
Its fulfillment will not be easy because
the opposition is determined; but MIR
Cleveland's entire public career IS a
guarantee that, believing it to be
right, he will omit no honorable means
to its accomplishment"

The Denver Times: There is no
hope for silver if the message of Pres
ldent Cleveland to congress is to be
the ultimatum and be accepted by that
body. The president thus ignored the
platform of his party and planted his
feet tirfnly on the platform of London
and Wall street. He throws the white
metal to the dogs and demands that
finances be conducted on purely gold
basis,''
