The misunderstanding them
selves straight Democrats, Of Sedg-
wick county, met last Saturday and
went through the farce Of nominal
ting a county ticket. The Beacon,
the leading Democratic paper of
Southern Kansas, says there were
four men present in the forenoon
when the convention was advertised
to be held, and they locked up the
hall until afternoon. After dinner,
having drummed up a few delegates
and Republican sympathizers, DR..
Burrows, of Newton, called the con
vention" to order at 2 o'clock and the
Beacon gives the subsequent proceed
ings as follows:
''Dr. Phillips, of Mount Hope, a
nice old gentleman, but who has lived
years sufficient to be wholly unable
to withstand the wiles and blandiSh-
ments of the man who tried so hard
to fiud "where he was at" was in
duced to accept the Craftsmanship of
the convention. w. o. Leonard, a
minor, who is dudish young gentle
man from Mount Hope, was made
secretary.
The convention came near being
knocked out of the window at the
first call. Clarence O'Mahony, who
was on the metropolitan police force
under Charles Burroughs, and who
was one Of the active members of the
stalwart contingency here last fall,
made speech. 1t was brief, but to
the point. Clarence told them he
was Democrat from away back and
supposed they were too, but now as
he found they were just working to
assist the Republicans he was done
with them and walked out.
There were just eleven present who
would admit that they were delegates
and of the fOrty-two men in the hall,
most were Republicans, but there
were a number of Democrats and Pop,
ulistS present as spectators. The con.
ventiOn was not a glittering success
in point of numbers at least. DR..
Burroughs, of Newton, acting under
the direction of Crouch, Mitchell and
Harris, has worked faithfully, but
could only find eleven delegates, and
MahOney quit them, leaving only
ten"
The resolutions were chiefly denun-
ciatOry of the Peoples party and Sen
atOr Martin. 1t should be stated in
this connection that the regular
Democratic convention is called for
Oct. I, when the Republican aid So
ciety will be repudiated.

The Topeka Daily Press of last
Friday has the following in regard to
the state of fnancein the state treas
ury:
THE states finances were never in
better condition than they are at
present." said Assistant State Treas
urer George Seward this morning,
land the state could pay off half its
bonded Indebtedness and not feel it,
The general revenue fund has a bal
ance of over 5000, 900, and by the END
of the month it will reach 100000.
There is not bill against the state
that would be refused payment, be-
cause of the lack of funds to pay it.
And, too, the counties are paying
their taxes 10 a very prompt manner.
Our receipts each day amount to
about $4,000, and this will contiue
until the 10th of the month, when we
shall have received nearly a million
dollars during the month. The
prompt action on the part of the
counties shows that the financial con-
dition of the state is in good shape,
and that the times are not so hard as
some might believe. The finances Of
no state could be in better condition
than those of Kansas, and it is very
encouraging to have them in their
present shape"

A private letter from John HinCh-
cliffe gives an account of some of his
experiences at the Reform school and
while he has nothing to complain of
personally, it is quite clear that
about the meanest mortal on earth is
the Republican officer who has re-
ceived his walking papers from the
people and the powers that be. The
Republicans in this state appeared to
think that the state belonged to them
and that to vote them out was rob-
bling them of personal property.
The time for giving up a fat office is
when the small soul of the average
Republican fully shows itself.

Will that Republican who told the
VOICE last week that he considered
John Sherman almost infallible on
the finance question, just listen to
the Wichita Eagle chirp little:
Senator Sherman says he wants the
silver purchase clause in the law bear
ing his name repealed. He also wants
the parity between gold and silver
maintained. Perhaps the senator
has scheme by which this may be
done, but the circumstance that he
repudiates the action of congress, the
authorship Of which is credited to
him, makes the suspicious public all
the more incredulous of him in any,
thing he may do. Sherman stands
too close to Cleveland on the money
question to suit the great mass OF
American citizens"

The Monitor evidently has no fur
ther use for Bill Higgins, whom it so
stOutly defended for having interest
ed himself in seeing that certificates
of election were issued to Republi-
cans whether elected or not. Bill has
been scoring the g. o. p. pretty lively
of late, hence these tears. AS long as
he was willing to do the dirty work Of
the g. 0. p. he was statesman and a
gentleman. Now he is denounced as
a kicker and declared unauthorized
to speak for his own party.

The Monitor complains because 1t
is getting no announcements from
members Of its party as candidates
for the various county offices. When
the g. o. p. was supreme the announce
ment column of the Monitor was quite
a fat thing, but now that its party is
dead, it shonld not expect that there
would be a rush of candidates willing
to offer themselves as a sacrifice, be-
sides paying liberal announcement
fee.

years, and for doing so have been de.

And even now the Monitor upholds
the gold-bug ideas that have brought
about these conditions and pretends
to believe that the repeal ofthe Sher.

things right. None are so blind as
those who will not see.

REVEREND HAHN.

State Superintendent Hahn of Sun
day School Mission work, acceptably
filed the pulpits Of the Cong'l and
Unity churches Sunday. He is an
enthusiast in his work and meets many
peculiar incidents in his Journeys
through the primitive districts OF
Wisconsin that would dismay a less
earnest worker. His sermon in the
morning was rather an informal talk
on the subject OF Sunday schools and
proved interesting. All of his dis
courses here were characterized by
practical intelligent statements re-
garding the work of Sunday Schools,
and their needs. His wife accompanies
him in his tours effectually aiding him
as none but woman can in winning the
hearts of little children.

AS citizen of Centralia we feel
proud of the fact that our local post
office has changed from boyhood into
full fiedged manhood and will hereafter
he Gifted as to salary anyhow. 1t was
made presidential office commencing
january LIST, at salary of S11O0. When
the change of administration takes
place we hope the new postmaster will
feel financially able, from the favorable
change in receipts, to provide a more
modern set of Office boxes. The old
case has served its usefulness. Since
Mr.. j. W. Natwick was appointed post
master several improvements have
been made but the salary would not
permit Of much expense in this line.
When the next change is made will be
the proper time to improve the service
