to Make Any Demonstration.
There is a great deal of Indignation ex-
pressed among the administration demo-
Gratis and those who are not pronouncedly
anti-administration at the speech of Mr.
S1bIey in the House yesterday, in which
Cleveland was abused in terms OF coarse
contempt. There was talk this morning of
introducing a resolution deprecating the
uttcrance and expunging it from the
Record. Prudence suggested different
course, however, and the leading admins
tration supporters advised that the matter
be ignored. The fact Is that the most
unreserved expressions OF contempt d.
rected against Cleveland were very loudly
applauded by a considerable number of
democrats. II an attempt were made to
censure Sibley champions would, 1t is
thought. spring to the front to defend him,
and even more violent language might be
hurled at the President by some one.

The Republican Ticket.

We regret to see that one or two OF
our esteemed Republican contempor-
aries in the county have written their
editorials on the county ticket before
the smoke Of battle rolled away and a
calm view was taken Of the situation.
When they come to view the field and
settle down to the campaign they will
see that it was inevitable that there
should be some disappointments and
someone was certain to be defeated at
the primaries. When four candidates
come up for an Office that only one
can get three must fail. 1t is good
business as well as good politics to
shake hands and unite to elect the
man who succeeds
The ticket nominated by the Repub-
Leans is a good one. We do not
undertake TO assert that each and
everyone on it is absolute perfection in
all that humanity holds to be desir-
able. in fact it would perhaps be a
little difficult to find anybody Of whom
such assertion could be made. That
kind Of people don't grow nowadays.
But we do say that in Mcssrs' Logan,
Huffman, Hull, Miss King and the
others the Republican party OF this
county has a set Of candidates who
are representative citizens, who have
won because the larger portion Of
their party selected them, who are
honest, upright and capable and will
fill the offices of Dickinson county to
which they aspire with dignity and
honor.
More than that, they represent
principles which stands for that

Shameful Politics.

One Of the most disgraceful bits Of
political chicanery which has come to
light recently Is the gerrymandering
Of the Saline county commissioner
districts. The county has two Popu-
list commissioners and one Republic
can. In order to perpetuate their
power, and incidentally to continue the
county printing in the hands of II. n.
Gaines's paper, the Union, the Pop
commissioners decided to redistrict
the county so as to make the third
district which elects commissioner
this year reliably Populist, and did
so, putting a strong Populist precinct
into that district. The township
board Of the precinct affected has is
sued protest declaring the outrage
GUS scheme a violence to their rights
as it is.
Surprising the two Republican
members, constituting the majority
Of the Dickinson county board Of
commissioners, should pass a gerry
wandering act adding Grant township
and Abilene to the Third district
making it undeniably and certainly
Republican. Surprising next year
they should add this same territory
to the Second district and the year
following make another change SO as
to increase greatly the Republican
majority Of that district. Would it
be honest or fair?
Yet this is exactly what the Pops
are doing in Saline county for the
benefit and perhaps at the instigation
Of H. N. Gaines, one Of the proprie-
tors of the Abilene Monitor 1t
would be interesting to know if the
Monitor endorses that sort OF schemes
or II 1t believes such shameful poll
tics is commendable. In other words
does Mr.. Gaines advocate in Dlckin-
son county what he is helping for

Gov. Riddle on Silver.

Governor Riddle makes a fair and
manly statement Of his position OF
silver in response to q bit Of pleasant
ry from this paper, and II Is posi-
ton that every friend of good govern
ment will indorse. He says;
The Messenger Is where IL always
has been-a friend to silver, a believer
in the doctrine that this government
ought to favor the use Of silver as
money in every way that It can, but
we have never at any time favored
such silver legislation as would result
in the retirement Of gold. We believe
that government which really want
ed to do SO, and would honestly try
to do so, could maintain the double
standard, and could materially innu-
ence a much greater use Of silver in
their coinage by othercountrios. And
II is not unlikely that this increased
use would tend to such an increase In
the price Of silver as would reach that
point where a free coinage of all the
metal presented would be possible.
Such an event, or even any approach
to it would benefit this country more
than any other.
The Republicans of this district
quite generally bold this position.
The Dickinson county Republicans
have already in fact declared them
selves in favor Of the free coinage Of
American silver at 10 TO |, which is
as near an approach" as could prob
ably be adopted with entire safety
at present.

Every little while some Democratic
journal lets of a whoop that "busi-
ness is reviving' and wants to know
what the Republicans think Of it, con-
sidering their criticisms Of "the
Wilson bill" tits just as well to get
these things right. In the first place
while there are indications OF better
trade conditions there Is no such
"revival" as there should be. Be-
sides it is well to recall that 1t was
not the Wilson bill that passed.
Democrats rs well as Republicans
sounded notes Of warning, and the
bill was changed, Republicans rising
above partisanship and giving the aid
Of their influence and votes against
the danger threatened by Mr.. Wilson
and his associates. The modified
bill was passed after hot time, and,
though, as results show, it does not
meet the wants Of the country, it was
Ia good deal better than the bill as
originally introduced. The modified
bill was sent to the president, who
refused his signature, and allowed
the bill to become a law without 1t.
1t will be remembered, perhaps,
that on July 2, 1894, the president
wrote Mr.. Wilson lengthy letter, in
the course Of which he said: Every
Democrat and every sincere tariff re-
former knows that this bill, in its
present form, and as it will be sub
mitted TO the conference, falls far
short OF the consummation for which
we have long labored, for which we
have suffered defeat without discour-
agement; and which, in Its promise
Of accomplishment, is so interviewer

cratic success that our abandonment

Take the Combine.

A balloonist at Kansas City, says
the Lawrence Journal, advertised
that he would tie donkey to his car
and make the aerial voyage with him.
The officers Of the humane society,
acting for the mule, stopped the per-
Torrance on the ground that there
was danger that the mule would be
dropped and hurt. But in order that
the people might get the worth Of
their money the humane officers kind
ly consented that boy should be
taken up in place of the mule. and
further stipulated that il the boy was
not killed the man might take the
mule up next Sunday. The humane
officers have such brotherly feeling
for donkeys that they will never con-
sent to see them abused. II the bal
loonist had applied to Abilene she
would have sent the anti-REFLEcToR
combine to take the mules place and
there would have been no kick either.
