THE meeting Of the republican and
populist central COMMITTEES Ia this city
last Saturday has stirred up political
talk to quite an extent The republl-
cans, Or at least the party managers,
grow arrogant and talk as though they
already had the bull by the horns and
doubt as to the certainty Of this
hobs up when they are caused to ques-
ton: What are the democrats and
popuIists going TO do?" The ranker
populistsare talking not so hopefully,
but with the usual lack of judgment
and political foresight damn ''both old
parties" while the more conservative
and major element seem to think that
it is foolishness to longer follow the
lead of the hot-heads, and that all
people opposed 10 continuance of
republican supremacy should drop
party preference and work for the
good of our state and county. And
what do the democrats say? Well, the
democrats with whom we have talked
and they are the democrats who
have in the past shown that they
could be independent Of party inhu-
ence when it became necessary to
rebuke arrogance OF assumption of
power on the part of any man or set
of men of oposiug political faith
say that they are mot borrowing any
trouble" They believe that in all
fairness their party should be accord
ed the place it is justly entitled to in
Barton county that of second in
point of numbers. They also believe
that the populists, being third IN point
of numbers, should stay out of the
fight on local matters this year and
let the fight be between the democrats
and republicans. A meeting of thedem-
ocratic central committee will be held
at an early date to discuss the calling
of county conventions, when repre-
sentative men from every part of the
county will be better prepared to
voice the sentiments of the voters
than Is the DEMOCRAT 1T the present
