day night 24th.

LIKE a cowardly sneak who throws
bomb and then runs away to be
out of reach of the explosion he ex.
poets to follow, the republicans of this
town, instigateu doubtless by the
scheming Chester Long, got a list of
questions printed at the Tribune
Office late Monday afternoon. and
circulated them about town, asking
Mr.. McNall to answer them in his
address that night. Then they all
skunk out of town, instead of going to
hear the answers to their questions.
People who did hear Mr.. McNalIs
answers can tell the fellows afraid
of their own questions that he did
not skip one of them, but answered
all in a manly, logical and convinc-
ing manner. What the would-be cute
republicans thought to be a bomb
proved only boomerang, and served
as an excellent text for the speakers
discourse. Pity they were not manly
enough to listen to :he answers they
invited.

WHEN republicans who are honest

Der that the u. S. senate. as now con.
stituted, and as it is SURE to continue
for the next four years, will not per
NIT of any tariff legislation until the
rights of the people are recognized by
the reinstatement of silver; when they
remember this, and the further fact
that an international agreement" is
one of the very remotest possibilities,
they look with derision upon the at
tempts of republican workers to work
the protective tariff argument this
year. Many republican friends of
silver have expressed themselves thus
to the writer, during the last month
or so, and they say further that every
voter who understands the issues be,

yer should go side by side with gold
as a money metal, will, if he wants to
bring that condition about at the very
earliest day possible, vote not only for

Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-10-22

Do YOU remember how foolish the
predictions and CLAIMS of the republic
cans, made just befd the election
four years ago, read? That party is
today making the same sort OF pre-
dictisns, and again Claiming the
earth" They are forgetting that a
day of reckoning is again coming when
the honest voters of the land will
once more declare by their votes that
the trusts and monopolies cannot
rule the country. Voters, teach them
another lesson in honest politics.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1896-10-22

If YOU are a gold standard demo-
crat and honestly of the opinion tn 1t
a gold standard is the best for this
country you can consistently vote for
Palmer and Buckner, as they repre-
sent the only convention held this
year which has come out squarely for
the gold standard. The republicans
"favor a continuation of the gold
standard" until England will agree to
bilmetallism through international
agreement; but the gold standard
democrats oppose silver coinage
through international agreement or
any other way. The Mckinley party
seeks to deceive voters by pretending
to favor what they do not, and ad--
vocating that which they know they
cannot get.
