DEMOCRATIC DODGE.

"Glick, Free Silver, Resubmission
and Victory" is the latest political bO-
nanza from Topeka. The meaning OF
it is that the political situation is such
| that should Ex-Governor Click be run
on a Silver-reSubmiSSion platform
he would carry the stare
While this is the first word con-
frming the Eagles declaration that re-
submission must be an issue in the
next campaign in Kansas, we don't go
much on the Click movement
The truth of the matter is Click, on
any such platform, would be a trick.
The Democratic party do not desire the
repeal of prohibition. The only gov
ernOr that parry ever had in the state
was this same Click, who was elected
as an nti-Prchibitionist. That he
never did anything to bring about re-
submission is well known. But for
prohibition, Click would never have
been governor. Half of the defeats TO
which the Republicans have been sub
jected in the counties of the state were
traceable to that question. The Dem
ocratic party Of Kansas is nothing, pO-
litfcally, with prohibition eliminated.
Prohibition has been their political
stock in trade 1t is the only wedge
which has ever divided the Republican
party of Kansas. The Democrats
know that. Could they elect Click,
2
would not mean resubmission. That
party would not wipe out the very
thing which brought them success.
The Republican party in Kansas will
never split over free silver. The bear
ingS OF that question are too remote.
The average Democrat, always loud in
his denunciation Of prohibition, is
never found working for its repeal
only in prefunctory way. Not that
they don't hate prohibition, but that
they like chance for office more.
The question of reSubmission must
be met by the Republican party and
by it be settled one way or the other.
The Democrats, if they were in earn
est, are but the tail Of the Pop party.
The Pops have absorbed them in all
the large counties. They can do moth
ing except such things as the Pop party
comedies and helps them to. The Pop
party is not an naturalization party
They are for free silver, but SO far as
the liquor question is concerned it's
leaders have never dared take stand.
We estimate that the party is as badly
split on that question as the Republi-
can party. At least the question is
regularly ignored in all their conyen-
lions.
Click seems to be the only man left
to the Democratic party in Kansas. He
holds all their big offices and is a
candidate for all their big
places. Click and his schemes are be-
coming tiresOme.

VINCENT'S POSITION.
The Fifth District COngresSman-elect Talks
of Currency Reform.


The New York Herald sent a letter
to w. D. Vincent, among other Con-
gressmen.elect, requesting him 10
answer these questions:
"In view Of the recent SILVER agitation
and the prospect Of its continuation,
do you not think it wise TO reform the
currency system Of the government
"Are you in favor Of the retirement Of
the greenbacks; if not, what change
would you proposeP"
The following was Mr.. Vincent's reply:
81 am in favor Of reforming the cur
renCy system Of the government, but I
am opposed to the retirement Of the
greenbacks. I would abolish banks Of
issue, retire National bank notes and
substitute treasury notes In their stead.
I am in favor Of redeeming the obligs-
tions Of the government according to
the law and the contract, in silver when
it is more convenient for the government
to pay in silver than it is to pay in gold.
If the supply Of silver dollars runs low
/ would coin more.
"The greenbRcks have performed the
functions Of circulating medium for the
past thirty four years without complaint
from anyone except q few speculators.
They were always as good, even In time
Of war, as the government tried to make
them. They were good enough to pay
the soldier for being shot at and there is
no reason why they should not be good
enough for all the people in time Of peace
and tranquility.
"If the notes of the National bank
corporations are good for circulating
medium surely the notes of the best
government on earth ought to be
equally as good.
"When a bank note goes into circuls-
ton the government gets nothing in
return. When q greeback goes out the
the government gets value received,
hence l am for the greenback.
"And / am for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver as well as gold at the
ratio Of 16 to l, first, last and all the
time"

the Australian ballot Law. When the
secret ballot was adopted four years ago
it was more in the nature of an expert
ment than it now is. It should be
simplihed and greatly reduced in size.
In Colorado each column or ticket is
provided with circle, and an x in this

AN INTOLERABLE INSULT,
Shameless Newspaper Practices With Ref.
ereRce 60 FARMERS.

oEoNCe 10 FARMERS.
One of the most shameless practices
that has crept into the journalism Of the
East within the past few years, and
which became especially aggraVating
during tho late campaign, is>the out
rageous manner in which they cariCS-
ture the farmers Of this country. The
comic papers have been the most guilty,
but papers making more pretentiOns TO
deoenCy have not been Ruiltless.
The farmer has been singled out from
all the different classes of labOring and
producing men as the target Of the
shallow-pRted cartoonist, and been made
the butt Of the coarse Jokes of the cal
low paragrapher. And why is this soS
Is not the farmer quite the equal In
point OF commendable virtues Of the
citizen engaged in any other pursuit
Quite as intelligent, and following an
avocation quite as honorable as that of
other men, yet he is treated as an igno-
rant buffoOn, who wonders at the things
he sees in the city, or grasping like a
miser after penny seeking to defraud his
creditors, or going about with the fam
ing red torch of incendiarism. For these
gratuitous insults there is a remedy il
the farmers choose to use it. That
remedy is a boycott Of any newspaper
that prostitutes it's columns to such
base uses.
The farmers of the United States not
only constitute a large portion Of our
population, but their business is essen
tiRl to the perpetuity OF the race. They
are industrious, honest, intelligent, law
abiding and patriotic. There is many q
humble tiller Of Kansas soil, who could
give valuable pointers on any worthy
subject to the brsinless dudes who are
responsible for these exaggerated Carl
catures. Indeed, there is less ignorance,
less indecencY, less crime, less squalor,
less misery, and less Of everything that
is reprehensible in the agricultural
districts, than there is in any Of the
large cities
What greater travesty on truth and
justice, what greater outrage against
common decency could be conceived
than the spectacle Of q newspaper
printed within q stones throw Of Wall
street going to the farm for a personi-
fication Of selfish greed; or the INDECENT
artist leaving his dingy attic and passing
miles of Slums to find in the country a
model Of low-browed ignoranceg Ye
gods! II those fellows could only see
themselves as they really are, they must
for very shame be forced to desist.-
