The democratic appellate court con-
vention at Dodge made no nomination
and left it open for a deal with the
pops. It endorsed Cleveland and the
German tariff law. 1t has lost its
nerve, SAID not a word on free silver,
and wants to trade and dicker for
fusion. The poor old thing.-Trib-
une.
In THE above little paragraph OF
deliberate and uncalled-for falsehoods
can be read the true character of the
kind of fellows who are trying to
teach Kansas voters purity in politics
and honesty of character. The writer
of that paragraph knew, or had every
opportunity of knowing, that the
democratic convention did nothing he
charges them with, Gas can be seen
from the full proceedings Of the meet.

he deliberately lied in order to cast a

A MAN from Larned remarked on
the streets of Great Bend not long
since that Harmed is the d-dest
town for cut threats you ever saw
The reputation of the town has been
bad for some time, politically, and it
must be financially desperate when one
of it's own business men makes such
remarks.

THERE will be no excuse for popu.
lism in Kansas this year. The dem.
ocratic party will champion the free
silver cause, and as that will be the
one great issue of the campaign every
populist should come over and get in
the band wagon. With a silver plat
form aud silver candidate for presi.
dent the democrats will win this year,
while there is not ghost of a show
for the populists to carry single state
in national politlcs.-Horton Com,

The present republican congress
has piled up the largest appropriations
ever known, yet complain of the in
adequacy of revenue. The object OF
the republican party in this is abvious.
Larger appropriations will exhaust
government funds the quicker and
help republicans to make the plea
that the high tariffs should again be
imposed.

DEMocRATIC OPPORTUNITY.

DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY.
In view of the fact that the first con-
vention of the democrats of Barton
county for this year is to be held in
Great Bend on Saturday of this week
few words as to the possibilities be-
fore the party may not be amiss. ASS
rule the democrats of Barton county
are relax in their duties of attending
the party conventions and assisting in
formulating the party platforms and
selecting candidates.
Or rather, they do not turn out in
numbers, at the party conventions, as
numerously as do the men of the other
parties. There are several reasons
for this: One is. that every demo-
crat you meet is not an office'seeker,
he has no ak to grind, has not been
promised a position by party bosses,
and is inclined to trust his fellows to
attend the conventions and keep the
party organization going. I have
sometimes thought that, although
proud of the independence OF indi-
vidual democrats throughout the
county, there should be little more
attention given to the party organiza-
ton than there has been in the past.
If each democrat in the county would
give little of his time and attention
to the various caucuses and conven-
tons he would be a greater factor in
shaping the destinies of the party, and
would personally feel that he had a
greater interest in the success of tick.
cts when nominated.
The convention Saturday will elect
delegates to the state convention that
will in turn elect delegates to the
National convention at Chicago. In
my judgment it is all important that
the state convention select delegates
to Chicago who will have the ability
to forcibly represent Kansas democrats
in the great fight that will be settled |
in that body so far as democracy is
If Kansas and the other
western states in conjunction with the
southern states, succeeds in Chicago,
t will mean wonderful accession to
he ranks of our party; it Will mean
hat the party of the people, Of Jefer-
ION and Jackson, will again go into
,Cwer, and that the republican finan-
;ial system under which the govern
nent has been SO rapidly run into dis
'epute, will be changed, and that the
laborers and producers
will have an Ginning"
The great issue of this coming
is well understood as the
financial issue. Look about you,
eader, and you will find that about
out Of 10 of your neighbors are firm
y convinced that we should have q
;hange in the financial system, and
Ibout the same number are satisfied
hat the best change could be most
quickly and safely brought about
through the recognizing of silver as
'eing as good money as gold.
Let us hope that every township will
end representative democrts to the
Saturday, and that from
low In every voter, and every friend
f the party will be quick to speak
nd act IN the interest of the masses.
'arty organization should be built up
or the good the party can bring to
he many, more than for the securing
f petty positions for the few.
This campaign will be little SINH
ar to that of '92. The fellows who
voted for change" then will do the
anne thing this year.-Hoisington
