IN the campaign of this county this
fall we want 1t understood that it is
not our purpose to attack men as in
dlviduals but it is the principles they
stand for and platform they have chos-
Ell to run on that we in, speaking of the
republican candidates, are condemnlng
as dangerous to the welfare Of the
people. At the same time if there is
anything in the past acts of any man
that cannot bear the full and search
ing light of day without placing him
in an unfayorable light before the pub
lie, it is not our duty to keep quiet
about it. If man has mistreated his
fellowman In private business it is
very reasonable to suppose that he is
not safe man to hold public office.
This is the course we shall pursue
notwithstanding the fact that certain
gentleman wants to see another man
whom he wants to make arrangements
with another man to kick us out of
town,

BARBER COUNTY PLATFORM.

RESOLVED, That we renew our allegiance to
the Omaha platform, but at the same time we
recognize the fact that in the present condi-
ton of political agitation and under the
pressing necessities of the hour, that plank
OF our platform which demands the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to
is the one around which the coming politi-
cal battle must be fought, and we further
consider that the plank demanding the aboli-
ton of national banks aad the substitution
of postal savings banks, should be joined with
it in rsllying our forces for a valiant stand
for monetary and industrial reform; and
while this falls campaign is more or less To-
cal in it's nature.we consider it in part a prep
aration for the battle of 1896 on the lines
herein set forth.
We arraign the present state administra-
ton for its wilful neglect of every promise
made to the people of this state; for its ma
licious partisan and groundless investiga-
tons at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars
wrung from an already tax burdened popu-
lace; for its criminal violation of existing
law, in creating without cause deficiencies TO
be provided for by future legislatures; for its
payment of private and personal obligations
out of the public monies; for Its refusal to in
vesttgate grave charges against it's own men,
bers made by prominent men and journals
within it's own ranks, aud we assert that the
high functions Of government is being pros
tituted by the present administration to the
base purpose of building up the managers of
the republican party of this state.

The Twice-a-Week Republic has the largest

excellence and 1t intends TO increase the num-
Der of its readers by means of this unparallel-
ed offer. 1t gave away nearly $4,000 in pres
ents during July to subscribers who answered
correctly the question: "Where does the
word silver first occur IN the bibe?'' and dur
ing August it gave away nearly 81 600 in gifts
to those who were the first to tell: where the
word gift first occurred in the bible.'
The remainder of the $50 600 in gifts will be
distributed during September to subscribers
who will tell where the word paper first on-

THE Kiowa Journal copied the fol-
lowing quotation from Judge Caldwell
and in another column endorses the
gold-bug resolutions of the republican
county convention. Last year the
Journal was strong free silver sheet;
this year it is just as strong for gold
basis. OF course the Journal is man
aged and ruled by the bosses and the
editor occasionally works in these little
silver sQuibs iD order to get the con-
fidence of the common people. But the
people have caught on. The following
from Caldwell by the Journal is very
good but shows the Journal to be a
hypocrite:
1T is plain to me that there can be
no international agreement favorable
to silver because England VIII not
agree to accept free SILVER. What is
the use of paying any attention to the
foreign countries anyhow? Are we
not capable of managing our own
affairs? think we are. and if not
| am in favor of annexing the United
States to Canada or some other conven-
lent territory

CERTAINLY, everyone knew that the
Cresset would point at Davis, republl-
can candidate for county clerk, and say
old soldier tat this point Lutte didn't
remember how he and "Chestah"
knocked Capt. Hardy out of the post
ofieel then direct the attention of his
readers to J. S. Jones and howl "rebel!'
OF course it is known that the only re-
sort of the republicans is to flight it
over again." but that IS no reason why
Jones will not make a good treasurer.
The only difference between the two
men-Davls and Jones-is this: Jones
was on the wrong side during the war
while DAVIS is on the wrong side now.
In other words, Davis is advocating
something today that is more danger
Gus to the country and its people than
what Jones was advocating then. We
want to know if man is all right now,
not what he was thirty-five years ago.

SILVER AND WHEAT.

Where now is the blatherskite who
yelled from the top of the financial
fence and tore his hair with delight,
when the price of wheat jumped to so
cents per bushel, while that of silver
remained at 81 cents per ounce. Such
asses brayed in roof lifting tones that
there was nothing In the argument
that silver was the most stable of all
measurerS of value, and that the price
of all commodities in measure follow
ed that of the white metal. Wheat
had followed the decline of silver when
that metal was worth S1.29 per ounce
down to SO cents, and had not mater
tally varied from its relative position
for twenty years. In May, owing to
general scare caused by the extensive
and heavy frosts, the price of wheat
was forced up beyond the real value as
compared with other products. The
petty officeholders who edit newspa-
pers under the present administration,
utterly ignoring the causes of the ad-
vance in price, as they ignore all facts
COuu6ClcU Will Iu0 SllNcI QuoSIlOD,
seized upon that fact as an example
with which to destroy the unanswer-
able logic of the advocaters of free sill
yer coinage. We were not left in ig
nOrance of the fact CT the rise, howev-
er. 1t was the small stock argument
of gold standard men. How hong did
wheat MAINTAIN its high price as COM
pared with silver? AS soon as it was
known that the crops had not been
seriously damaged by freezing, that
cereal began to decline in value until
Tuesday it was selling on the Chicago
board of trade at 81 IA per ounce.
Wheat will doubtless rally little IN
til it reaches 65 cents, and there it will
remain until the money changers own
the country, or the people arouse them
selves and demand the restoration of
free silver coinage. Clarksburg Trib-
une in Nations Crisis.

WHEN Chester Long stated to the
republican convention on the 14th,
that IN some things Simpson supported
the Cleveland administration, or rather
the democratic majority in congress,
while in others he opposed it. he made
a good point IN Jerry's favor. 1t shows
that Jerry went to congress to legislate
for the people and any measure that
was in their interest ne heartily sup
ported. Long says he will oppose any
measure introduced or supported by
democrat no MATES how expedient
or beneficial it may be. The ideas OF
some people as to the duties of con.

IN windy article of last week the
Cresset editor wants to make it appear
that we and the Alva Review are as zig
norant'as he is. AS long as the Cresset
contends that gold is not the only re-
demption money of this country or as
long as 1t contends that silver is the I'M
it of value and that it occupies the same
position 1t did prior to 1873, there is no
use in trying to teach him anything
Even the learned (?) DR.. Miller has ad-
mitted that all values are now measur-
ed by gold and that the silver coins Of
our country circulate almost under the
same conditions as the greenback does.
Under the present financial system all
curTency-sllyer and paper-are re-
deemable in gold and gold alone. In
France, by late decision of the courts,
no discrimination can be made and
that country is getting along admir-
ably. And this is hard nut for the
gold-bugs or this country TO crack.

argument and history. they simply sit
up on their launches and howl "ignor-
ance" in order to mislead the people
