The entertainment Tuesday evening
was attended by reasonably good
audience, and was on the hole. very
pleasing evenings amusement.
The doll drill, by a dozen demure
little girls, was ''just too cute"
A piano caprice By Raft was splen-
didly executed by Miss Florence Towns
ley, and the duet by Misses Cora and
Amanda Flanley was up to The usual
high standard of these young ladies.
The ''Scarf Drill,'' by seven young
ladies, opened with tableau, was per-
fectly fetching" Gen1 Chapman had
the direction of this drill, and how in
the world he could keep from rushing
on the stage and whirling about in the
dance with some of those seven sweet
sylphs was a mystery to his most init
mate friends.
TOO Attentive by Half" a comic
farce, was presented by Misses Lizzie
Phelps and Florence Townsley and
Messrs. Geo. M. Moss and Chas. V.
Brinkman, and was the most laughable
extravaganza our people have wit
messed for many q day.

Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1894-08-09

Do THE individual democrats of
Barton county realize that it is neces-
sary, for the maintenance of party
and the furtherance of
party principles. that each and every
voter should take sufficient interest to
attend the party caucus and help select
representative democrats to send to the
county convention? We hope they do.
1t is not good judgment for any man
to absent himself from his party
primaries and then object to the course
of the men who do attend and shape
the party's course. Democracy means
that every voter has an equal right to
voice his sentiments in the caucus.
the convention, and at the polls. 1t
means a government of the people by
the people, and every individual should
exercise his right by personally stating
his desire.

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The democratic congressional con-
vention for this, the It'll district, met
at Hutchinson on Monday last and con-
sidered the matter of the nomination
of candidate for congress.
The convention was reasonably well
filled, considering the hard times, there
being present So delegates out of the
ia that the call provided for. Nine of
the western counties were not repre-
sented.
The convention opened with prayer
by Rev. J. n. Barbee, and on the rec
ommendation of the central committee
Hon. Jas. McKinstry of Hutchinson
was made temporary chairman and
Harry Stewart of Wichita temporary
secretary. The various committees
were appointed, and recess taken to
give them time for their reports to be
prepared. There was but one county
with contesting delegations, McPher-
son county, and the committee on Gre
dentials was delayed considerably in
making its report by reason of the
Mcpherson muddle.
The delegates were divided upon one
issue, some favoring the nomination of
Jerry Simpson as was done at Dodge
City, and the others favoring an ad-
journment without making a nominal
ton. The first vote to test the strength
of these opposing forces was had upon
the selection of permanent officers.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation recommended II. j. Roetzel of
Ellinwood for permanent chairman and
Harry Stewart for secretary, while the
minority report recommended Mr.. F.
Il. Gilmore of Wellington for chair
man. "A motion was made to adopt the
minority report, Mr.. Gilmore being
the candidate of the delegates in favor
OF no nomination. Upon roll call the
minority report was rejected and the
majority report adopted, seating Mr.,
Roetzel as chairman. This was a vic
tory in favor of the delegates in favor
of nominating candidate-the vote
being 48 for Roetzel and 46 for Gill
more.
After the regular order of business
was transacted. Mr.. Richardson,
of Sedgwfck county, offered motion
that the convention adjourn sine DIE.
This raised lively breeze, and there
was fun in the air for three-fourths of
an hour. When this motion was finally
put to vote the roll cali showed 40 in
favor of an adjournment and IL
against. A verification of the vote was
called for and given, without altering
the result, and the convention ad-
journed at about 6:15.
The newly elected congressional COM
mittee met at the parlors of the Santa
Fe hotel at s p. N. on the 9th, and or
ganized by the election of Ledrew Sill
vey of Larned as chairman and Frank
Colliday of Hutchinson as secretary.
Most of the delegates returned to
their homes reasonably well satisfied
with the result of the convention. So
far as Barton county is concerned, her
delegation voted solidiy against an adj
journment without a nomination.

YOUNG MAN.-You say your father
is willing to give you good layout on
the farm, but that you are ambitious to
go forth and battle with the world in
some higher and more noble calling.
We see from your talk that you are
quite young. You think now that the
old man is considerably behind the age,
but the probability is, if you were to
borrow spirit level from some carpen-
ter, and lay it on the old mans head
you will find the bubble doesn't stand far
from the center of the tube. You may
not think it is very high and noble
calling to call cows out of the field at
milking time, or to call swine to their
repast, but it beats clerking at $500 a
week, and il is more soul inspiring than
writing poetry for papers which they
don't want annd won't pay for. If your
father offers you good chance on the
farm, you had better stay with him
than to go off looking for job, which
dozen others are looking out for
already, or to join some Coxey brigade
on a FOOLS errand to Washington.
Farming is pretty hard work young man
we know whereof we speak-but it
gives you health and good appetite
for corn pone. Nobody knows what
enjoyment is until he feels, three times
a day, that he could devour anything,
from piece of sole leather to the thigh
of a spring chicken. You think the
farm is lonesome, but it's not half SO
lonesome as being in crowd and
broke. When you go out to battle with
the world, and get sick and tired and
busted, you will probably think the old
man knew more than you, after all, and
you will wish you were back, lying I'M
der the shade of the old tree while the
team was taking their noon rest.
Father Mcintyre.

Politics is indeed a queer game.
Some players will insist one year that
the hand they hold is all trumps and a
winner, and the next year contend that
the very same hand held by the other
fellow is no good on earth. We would
like 'verifcation" of the position of
Chairman Richardson in 1892 on the
congressional situation in this district.

DEMOCRATS, you have only few
more weeks in which to select your
delegates to the county convention on
the 25th, and as yet there is but one
township call issued. Let us have
every township represented in the con-

prepared TO nominate a full ticket that
will make an old-time fight in Barton
county against all opposition.

THE State Fair Association holds its
meeting this year at Wichita, October
I'd to 9th inclusive. The agricultural,
M echanical and art displays promise to
be we'll worth visit to the hospitable
precincts OF Wichita to sac. Add to this
the racing attractions, fine stock and
industrial exhibitions of all kinds land a
week can be- spent at the state fair this
year with profit and pleasure. 1t should
also be remembered that Wichita is
not Topeka; and when you go to Wich-
tia you will be treated with hospitality
such as Topeka seldom extended to the
toiling masses of the state, Topeka has
always impressed US as being anxious
only to ''pull the leg" of those who were
called from other parts of the state to
her borders; the intention of all her
people seemingly being to make all they
could possibly squeeze out of her visit
ors Wichita, on the contrary, has ever

THE Japs and the Cinnamon are
''strictly in it"-war we mean, and the
sympathy of Americans is unanimously
with the Japs. The Chinaman, with
his Joss house, his pig-tail and diet of
rats, has never commended himself to
Americans in any manner; while the
Japanese have shown most wonderful
enterprise and progresslveness, and
unlike the Chinese, have commanded
the admiration and respect of the
whole world. China has eight or ten
fighting men to Japan's one, but ''allee
samee" the plucky Japs are thus far
getting the better of the battles. Sail
in Japs and come out winner.
