THE PLUToCRATIc PARTY.

SenatorshIps Sold by the Republicans to
Corrupt Corporations
John NJ. Thurston is to be sent to oc-
cupy seat in the United States senate,
not because he represents the people
of Nebraska, for he does not, but be-
cause he is a professional lobbyist who
has been of great service to corpora
tons interested in using the lawmak-
ing power of the people for their own
enrichment.
For exactly the same reason Stephen
B. Elkins, who is another professional
lobbyist, is sent to the senate from
West Virginia, and the Pennsylvania
railroad has apparently been success
full in its scheme for buying the New
Jersey senatorship for Lobbyist Sew
ell. If Gasman Addicks is defeated
in Delaware it will be because of the
Worlds exposures, and not because of
any objection from those who now con-
troll the republican party.
1t is true that the plutocratic inf1u-
ence has attempted to control the SEN
ate through the democratic party, but
with democrats that has been the ex-
ception which has now become the
rule with republicans. When the
Standard Oil company sent Henry b.
Payne to the senate from Ohio the
democrats Of the country repudiated
him and he served his term under con-
slant protest from the democratic
press. When Calvin S. BRice through
like agencies secures the succession to
Payne's purchased place it is only that
he may become more odious to demo-
Gratis everywhere than if he called him
self republican. But in the republican
party there is no longer any attempt to
resist the plutocratic influence. Corrupt
corporations are openly purchasing
senatorships for their lobbyists, and
are too little regardful of the decencies
of politics to keep up the thread
bare but useful pretense that their ac
ton is the action of the people.
Having won a great victory because
of the protest of democrats against
plutocratic influences in the democrat
ic party the republican politicians are
! using their new lease of power to re-
move all doubt that their triumph is
the victory of usurped privilege over
| right, of money over manhood.-N. Y.

Kansas JOURNALISTS.

Third Annual Convention of the State
Editorial Association at Topeka.
TOPEKA. Kan, Jan. 22.-The third
annual convention of the Kansas State
Editorial association is in session at
Library hall in this city. Nearly 200
mem berS out of a total membership of
$50 are present and seventy-five APP
plicants are knocking at the doors of
the organization for admittance.
The convention was called to order
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning by the
president, j. E. Junlzin, of Sterling.
At the afternoon session President
Junkin delivered his annual address.
Mr.. Junkin recommended that the leg
islature be asked to enact laws requir-
ing the session laws to be printed
county; requiring insurance COM
panies doing business in the state
to publish a statement of the affairs in
at least one paper in every county, and
requiring juries to consider ''retrac-
tions" in libel suits in the assessment
of damages. He also recommended
that editors organize in every county
for the purpose of maintaining rates.
In conclusion Mr.. JunEin said: ''At
the beginning of 1894 there were 734
journals published in Kansas. During
the year 1O2 of these public luminaries
were quenched in the waters of adver-
sity, but $50 rose to shine with greater
splendor than their extinguished pre-
decessors. There are now 7S2
publications in Kansas, net
gain of forty-eight, or nearly one
week during 1894. Let us
unite in 1895, not SO much to increase
our numbers as to raise our standard;
not so much to obtain glory as to enjoy
the comforts and neceSsarieS of life.
Let us broaden our minds, increase our
store of knowledge, be more conscien-
tious in discharging the duties which
our calling imposes, and strive to en-
large our field of usefulness
j. Frank Smith, of the Pleasanton
Observer, followed with an address in
which he favored the election of a
county printer.
Reports of the annual convention of
the National Editorial association were
made by Miss Lizzie Herbert, of the
Hiawatha World; Mrs. Emma B. AL
drich, of the Cawlzer City Record: w.
J. Costigan, of the Ottawa Journal,
and Tell Walton.
The Modoc club, of Topeka, opened
the evening session with a vocal selec-
ton. Lieut.-Gov. James A. TrOutman
delivered the address of welcome. E.
W. Hoch, of the Marion Record, re-
sponded. The convention Will last
three days

OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

There are complaints against
Secretary Carlisle's management of the
treasury, but we do not hear loud call
for his immediate predecessor, Charles
Foster, to come to the rescue.-Boston
Herald.
Mr.. Mckinley will now be able
to get his clothing so much cheaper
than he bought it under his own law
that he will soon begin to consider
himself cheap and nasty.-St. Louis
Republic.
The fact that Steve Elzins won
the fight for the United States SEN
atorship from West Virginia is pretty
conclusive evidence that the office
comes high in that neck of the woods.

Another great republican protec-
tive tariff victory is announced at Car
negie's works at Homestead, Pa,
where eighty men, who made bold to
attend labor union meeting, have
been dismissed from their employment.
Chicago Herald.
The friends of Thomas B. Reed,
when considering Mckinley as a presi-
Dental possibility, cannot for the life
of them see how the governor of a
bankrupt state can help the nation out
of financial troubles. They might also
recall the little majors complete failure
in business way and the grave re-
sponsibility attaching to him for the
present condition Of the nation.-De-

THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD.
Splendid Work in the States Where the
Party Was IN Power.


Party Was IN Power.
In every state where democratic state
officers are superseded by republicans
the retiring administrations go out in
honor, leaving clean records and no
charges of financial dishonesty behind
them.
In states like Illinois and Indiana,
where democratic state officers are in
the middle of their respective terms,
they have presented to the incoming
republican legislatures creditab1e ex-
hibits of the conditions of state affairs.
It has been the policy of the repub-
hcan press to calumniate and traduce,
without reason or measure, every DEM
ocratic administration and every DEM
ocrat in Office. They could produce no
charge of misconduct nor Of dishonesty
founded in truth.
Their sole object was to break down,
by the might of fa1sehood, abuse and
SANDER, every public officer not of their
partisan faith, distributing the spoils
TO them and their adherentS. The
campaign of accusation without proof
and of denunciation without cause has
been monstrous in its injustice and in
decency.
There is not a report of "a defalcation
nor of any act of maladministration in
any state that elected democrats to of
fee in 1890 and 1892. The financial
affairs of the democratic states never
were conducted so well under repub-
ican rule.
The national administration, ma
igned beyond all precedent and all
rules of decency, has redeemed in
great part the pledges in the platform
of 1892. The force act, the Mckinley
tariff act and the Sherman silver act
were repealed.
new tariff was framed, far from
perfect in many of it's features, but
vastly better than it's predecessor. It's
imperfections were forced on congress
by a publican-populist-de
protectioniSt combine more pernicious
than any coalition ever before formed
to pervert legislation in congress. The
panic, the currency Generalization and
the indications of gold famine come
from vicious and corrupt republican
silver and currency legislation which
began in 1898 to produce it's disastrous
fruits.
These facts show that the democrat
ic party is not-as Reed and other par
tisans have charged-destitute of ca
pacity to administer national and state
affairs with wisdom and success.
The democrats in congress have not
been able to agree with the president
on satisfactory currency measure.
This is not so much evidence that they
lack wisdom for the purpose as that
the condition of affairs, originating in
republican mismanagement, is desper-
ate beyond ordinary means of redemp-
ton. The disease, of republican incep-
ton and growth, requires remedy of
unprecedented power and efficacy. That
is the cause of democratic failure to
provide cure-not democratic weak
ness and incompetency.
When the record shall be made up
for history, the verdict will be that the
democratic party, while holding power
in the states and nation, exercised it
we'll in the interest of taxpayers for
the enactment of judicious laws and to
conserve the financial interests of the
country.-Chicago Herald.
