THE populists of Barton county will
meet in convention Saturday of this
week to nominate county ticket.
They will, in our judgment, put up a
full ticket, without amy considerations
for any other party, and will invite
square, open three -cornered fight.
With three cornered fight they can
not hope to win man they may nomi-
nate, and the contest, so far as this
county is concerned, will be between
the democratic and republican tickets.
Democrats should keep this fact in
mind, and should be awake to the
opportunities before them.
