UNITE FOR VICTORY.

On Saturday Of this week the dem
ocrats and popullsts of Barton county
will meet in two separate conventions
to place in nomination candidates for
county offices. Il is the general be-
lief that the two conventions will
name but one ticket; g ticket composed
of both democrats and populists. The
central committees of the two parties
have agreed, 80 far as thier authority
goes, upon an amicable division of the
offices, but it is left to the two con-
ventions to ratify such agreement
and to select the candidates to repre-
sent each party.
We believe this is the most sem
sible thing to do. We have for sew
eral years contended that the principles
of the democratic party OF the west
and the populist party we're so near
the same that it was folly for the two
to be divided, for upon such division
of forces rested the only hope OF sue
cess for the opposition, the republican
party.
This year the populist national con-
vention has vaiiently laid aside party
name and nominated the manly can
didate of the democracy for president,
and in the state of Kansas a combs
nation of the forces has also been
satisfactorily arranged.
It is therefore the duty of every
patriot, of every friend of silver, to
do all in his power to secure a unity
of action in county affairs as we'll.

AT Ellinwo Thursday, the repub>
lican senatorial convention nominated
Mr.. T. j. Ross, Of Great Bend, for
state senator. Mr.. Lasky, who had
been instructed for by Rice county,
pulled out of the race. He evidently
knew stone wall when it arose up
before him in the person of Senator
John Armstrong as an opponent, and
did not care to be hunted up against
it. Besides, there will be a judge to
elect-later-and Rice wants to fur
nish the republican candidate when
there may be some show of that party
winning. But not this year.

ELSEWHERE in theis paper will be
found call for meeting to arrange
for the October meeting of the State
Irrigation Association, which will be
held at Great Bend. We publish the
call by request; but we want to pro-
test against the apparent intention to
make this irrigation meeting a great
political rally. While the call states
that speakers from all political parties
will, or have, been invited it has been
our experience heretofore that it
would be an easy matter for those
having the arrangements in charge
to see to it that only THEIR particular
friends are given a pull. Therefore,
We urge that the committee eliminate
all political connections, and invite the
people of Barton county to attend the
meetings in the interests of irrigation
alone. Let US not kill the irrigation
movement by loading it down with
politics.

j. w. LEEDY, the populist and
democratic candidate for governor,
impresses himself more favorbly as the
right man for the place, the more we
learn of him. He is man With con-
victlons that are not made to order
as are :hose of Morrill-and there has
never been more acknowledging
and determined man than Mr.. Leedy
placed in nomination for governor in
Kansas. He will make no pledges to
party workers of any kind, but prom
ises to fill the duties of governor with
out favoritism or prejudice
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-08-20

Let US go into the conventions
Saturday with the avowed purpose of
suppressing personal differences, of
doing nothing to arouse local conten-
ton among ourselves; but having be.
fore us the great Importance of uniting
all elements opposing the present
financial condition, let US suborn per.
sonal ambition, pride of local party
supremacy, and the desire to see our
friends .'vindicated," to the more
weighty object of unity ofstrength in
the great battle for financial freedom.
No candidate should go before the
delegates of either convention with
the intention of forcing things his way
or creating discord if he does not sue
coed. Let each man make a fair
effort among his peolp pc, and if defeated,
let him arise superior to personal
chagrin and show his good faith by
loyal support of the nominees.
This Is no time to "play even, no
time to ''settle old sceres," and no
time for friends of silver to forget
their patriotism because of personal
differences. 1t is time to present
solid front to the enemy and march
shoulder to shoulder ON to a glorious
victory.

great interest to Barton county people.
We paid for this supplement, and
consider that it will be appreciated

The Register did NOT pay the expenses

THE SCHEMES OF PIERCE.
Yankton and Norfolk Will Probably NO
be Completed by Creditors.


be Completed by creditors.
YANKToN, s. D., Jan. 8.-But three
more days are allowed for the English
creditors Of J. TN. Pierce to get pos
session of the grade and right-of-way
of the Yankton and Norfolk railway,
and it is believed that the transfer will
not be made. This Is very gratifying
to the people Of Yankton, who have not
had much faith in the promises made
by them for the completion Of the road.
The fact that a wealthy corpora
ton has offered to buy the grade and
finish the road is another cause for
congratulation, and should the English
syndicate fail to complete their con-
tract there is every reason to believe
that the road and the bridge across the
Missouri will be completed in the early
spring. Pierce's creditors have invest
ed here largely in city property, and
seemed disposed to improve their inter.
ests, and it is announced as reason for
not pushing railroad matters that they
are dissatisfied with the work of their
agent.

queens with smile Of triumph on his.

CAMPOS MAKES EXCUSES.
Gives His Reasons for the Continued
Advance of Insurgents.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-A special to
The World from Havana says: General
Campos received your correspondent in
his private Office. In response to an
Interrogation he said that the principal
reason why Gomez has been able to
continue his raid successfully was that
the country people gave no information
whatever to the Spanish generals. The
Cuban peasants sympathize with the
insurgents and the Spaniards in the in
terror are afraid to give information of
rebel movements. Another reason was
that the insurgents never show fight.
"They avoid contact with my troops"
General Campos declared, unless some
time their rear guard was reached.
Being perfectly familiar with the topog-
raphy of the country and used to con-
slant exercise on horseback and on
foot, they have been enabled to main
tain wide gap between the soldiers
and themselves"

Congress should be ashamed that it has
not done sonnet thing il spite Of all it has
had on it's hands There is no reason
why belligerency should not have been
