ONsome ofthe Democratic cartoon

ONsome ofthe Democratic cartoons
and pictorial illustrations among
other things is hank of yarn, on
which hangs a placard reading "wool-
en- yarn reduced 249 per cent" Now
if the price of wooden yarn has been
reduced 249 per cent, then some very
interesting facts should follow. The
price of wooden yarn when the present
new Tariff law was passed, was 75cts
per pound, which price if we are to
take the ILLUSTRATION" at what it says
is reduced 249 per cent. Now, get your
slate and multiply 75cts, the base by
249 per cent rate, keeping up the
decimal point and see If the product,
the percentage is not one dollar and
eighty-six cents. This sum accor.
ding to the "illustration" represents
the amount of the reduction IN the
price, or in other words you must
subtract the reduction, one dollar
and eighty-six cents from the 75cts in
order to obtain the present price OF
yarn. But it will not subtract, you
say. Try again, surely this Demo
cratic theory must be true, But no,
it slmply will not subtract. We are
taking that ILLUSTRATION" as true
though, and we must get out of the
dilemma. The only way out is to
subtract the price ofthe yarn, seventy
five cents, from the reduction, one
dollar and eighty-six cents, which
leaves one dollar and eleven cents
Still maintaining the truth Of the
"illustratlon" you go INTO store and
ask your merchant for a hank OF
yarn and if this Democratic theory
il correct the merchant should give
you the pound of yarn for nothing
and pay you one dollar and eleven
cents to take it out of his house. But
in fact will he do il? No. He viii
charge you seventy'6ve cents per
pound, the price at which yarn was
selling on the very day the bill was
passed.

DEAR SIR:-Yours Of the 27th just
received and noted. From the clip
ping from The Herald that you en-
closed, it seems that your Democratic
editor, like the Courier.Journal, will
not tell the truth when he can make
| a lie fit better Yes il is true that |
never saw Mr.. c. NJ. Barnett in my
life, but heard OF him as candidate for
Congress two years ago ] did not
even know the name OF the Republic
an District Chairman till received
your letter. III ever saw Mr.. Miller
1 do not remember him. certainly
was not at Elizabethtown three weeks
ago nor have been in Hardin coun-
ty since the Hardin County Conven-
ton held on September Sth. I'll also
add that have never received a let
rer from any Republican Committee
man, or any other Republican, since
my no etion, except yours of the
77th, inst, which came after my with
drawal, and one from Mr.. Lewis de-
clining to accept my challenge to de-
bate. On the same day received
Mr.. Lewis letter received one from
Mr.. Montgomery on the same SUBJ
ject,
think Montgomery's friends are
trying to find a bug-a.boo. There
is no doubt they are in a close place.
As for myself and all the Populists
I am intimately acquainted with, we
will support Mr.. Lewis. We have
had enough free wool, sheep, hay,
g., TO last us until we are sure OF
electing some one who will not vote
for the interest of the Manufactur, Of
which there is not a single one in
Montgomery's district, and against
his farmer constituents who number
up into the thousands
Mr. Montgomery's supporters are
trying to use my withdrawal as an
electioneering scheme. When l sell
my principles will purchase NOR.
phine with the proceeds and end my
career
would have left the race week
sooner, but Mr.. Montgomery was au-
nounced to speak in my county and
it having been rumored that was
afraid to meet him, was anxious to
prove to the contrary.
Very Resp'y Yours,

spondency, caused by realization
of certain defeat, presumes entirely
too much upon the ignorance and Gre
dulity of the Democratic voters of the
county. They are not nearly SO ig-
norant as one Is forced to conclude
that the Herald considers them.
Insult, is it? Well let's see If it is.
Following the low tariffs of 1916,
1898, 1876, 1857 and the Free Trade
threat of 1892 have come with
the unerring certainty Of fate, hard
times, the breaking of banks, the
poverty of the people, the cry for
bread, the distress of assignments,
and the multiplied terrors and hard-
ships offs suits, judgments and sheriff
sales. In view of these undenied and
terrible facts is not the admonilion
and the warning contained IN
that one short sentence worthy of the
serious consideration of every con-
scientious voter? We repeat 1t. Vote
the Democratic ticket and advertise
yourself for sale. Do that and To-
vite the devastation and ruin that
have overshadowed the land like a
pail during the present Administra-
ton. Do that and endorse the de.
struction that the Democratic party
has wrought in the business interests
of the country. Do that and thus
invite taxed sugar and ten cent wool,
and fifty cent wheat, soup.houses, and
sherifi's sales to make this fair land
their permanent abode and the Amer
lean people their self sacrificed VIC
tins.

the Democrats would show Mr.

been sufficient, but Doodle and prom

for Montgomery, So were their rela.
tons aud near friends. Be it so or
not we were beaten. We did our
part. We went to the polls without
either pay or promise and voted Tor a
man that we did not know for the
sake of Democracy. Now if they ale
beaten they cannot blame us, we are
for Democracy, equal rights, exclu-
sive privileges to none. We know

Now my friends, | will close. guess
some of you will say that this is a

The persistent and inefficient eff.
forts of the Herald to blow hot and
cold with the Populists is becoming
disgusting, and in view of the mean
and contemplate slush and abuse
that paper has all along heaped upon
that party and its candidates, it smacks
Of the demagogue, the hypocrite and
the dishonest seeker for political ad.
vantage. The recent soft words the
Herald has been casting to the Pop
ulists do not at all jingle with its for
mer illusions concerning them. In
Its issue of August II, 1892, speaking
of Gen. Weaver, Populist candidate
for President, the Herald says editos
rally: "Four more years find HIM dis.
appointed and he again is leading a
gang Of disappointed office seekers, calling
themselves The Peoples Party, and asking
honest men to vote for him. < y
Now there are always more men who
vote than there are who think. For
this reason the Third Party headed
by their man Weaver, will get some
voters in Kentucky and in Ohio coun.
ty. To MANY who will vote with this
party we have no way to appeal.
They no not read nor they do not
think. They only follow blindly a
misguided or vicious leadership. But
to the thoughtful, sensible and sin.
cere men who think Of voting with
the people SO fifty represented by
Weaver, we want to appeal in the
name of reason and of manhood and
in the name of this Southland, which
we love and which this man has lost
no opportunity to viilify-to these
men we would come as one of them
and ask if the RAINBOW this new party
is chasing can lead them to support a
political adventurer and traducer OF
our people, such as gang Of maicontents
have found in this same old Weaver"
In its very next issue speaking of Hon.
Tom Petit, who was the Populist
candidate for Congress in the Second
District it says: "He (Mr. Pettit) is a
transparent fraud, dug up by the
Third party" Everybody remembers
the villification and abuse, which the
Herald bestowed upon Representative
Wesley Grove, upon Mr.. j. p. Miller,
Populist candidate for Circuit Clerk
in 1892 and upon Mr.. F. w. Pirtle,
Populist candidate for the Legislature
in 1893. The abuse that demagogue
sheet is now heaping upon Mr.. Rus
sell is of the same kind and character
and its pretense of sympathy for the
Populists is cringing hypocrisy Of the
deepest and most detestable dye.

just the proper age to fill that high
office with honor to himself and BEN
eft to the people. He is ripe in years
and rich IN legal lore and well yersed
in all that pertains to legal affairs.
His sole ambition would be to be a
model Judge, pure and upright and
leave an honorable name as rich
heritage to his friends and his party
and his State. But in addition to all
this the Republican party of this
District owes 1t to the party and to
Butler county, the Banner County of

overwhelming majority.

walton of one of their countymen 10

it would be rank party treason to be

Judge Guilty, their chosen nominee.
Besides all this a Republican victory
in this Appellate District would be Of
immense advantage to our party,
hence no stone should be left unturn :

MANY are the methods resorted to
by the Democrats to deceive the
voters into voting the Democratic
ticket. Without saying whether the
time ever was when the Democratic
party could win by telling the truth,
most assuredly OF all times In its his
tory it could not win now by that
means. Nobody is more sensibly
aware of that fact than the Demo-
cratic leaders themselves. Deception
is the only hope for Democratic sue
cess. Deception was their only hope
in 90 and again in '92. 1t is their
only hope now. The Democratic
party is afraid of the truth and hence
the various means resorted to in order
to arouse the passions and prejudices
OF men and to appeal to the supposed
ignorance of the people. They can
no longer cry Force Bill aud niger
domination IN this county aud they
resort to other means equally as de-
ceptive and unfair. The Democratic
Congressional Headquarters have
prepared and sent out to the news
papers, and for posters various IL
lustrations purportlng to show the
reduction in prices of various articles
by the Wilson bill. They are not
calculated to instruct but to deceive.
The Democratic bosses and whoop-
ers.up wink at each other with II
knowing wink when they see voter
looking over one of these pictorial
illustrations. Pictorial lies would be
a better and more truthful epitbet.
