The end of winter finds thousands with

publican party, he said, was again in
power and had been commissioned to
enact legislation that would give conf.
Industries and agriculture aud give en-
ployment to labor. The causes that led
to the political revolution which retired
the Democratic party from authority had
been clearly and admirably stated in the
message of the President.
In tour years of Democratic rule, the
people realized the utter inability of That
party to formulate any LEGISLATION that
would work to the relief of the people,
The bill was in accordance with the
most universal demand of the people for
tariff legislation.
1t was framed on principles purely Re-
publican in character and designed to
met the wants of the government as
we'll as those of the people. He had sup
posed until he heard the speech of the
gentleman from Alabama, MIR. Wheeler.

He had thought that even Democrats
would acknowledge the utter failure of
the Wilson bill and would recognize the
Importance and necessity of this pro-
posed legislation.

Alabama aptly illu strated the truth of
the saying that the genuine bourbon

man had arraiRned, was the policy which
had brought glory and greatness to the
country.

crease of American territory, encouraUe,1
Mr.. Wheeler to ask Mr.. Hopkins to
which political party that increase was
due.
Mr.. Hopkins told Mr.. Wheeler that
the Democratic party had done ali IL
could to take eleven states out of the
Union. (Applause from Republican
side.)

Monday afternoon Mr.. McCay had

run into lateral that carried it to an
adjacent field at the rate of about 600
gallons minute. Ali arrangements
for the test were but. temporary, yet

and irrigation men are united in say
ing that the performance of the little
wonder was beyond what any one
could expect. We believe that Mr..

tioniZe the method of raising water.

has happily discovered the secret of a

THE COUNTY TICKET.

That good, competent men were
named by the two conventions last
Saturday no one who has any ac'
quaintance in Barton county and her
past history will deny. Most of the
candidates fact all IF them are
reasonably we'll known in all paris Of
the county. And they are truly rep
resen;auve men against whom nc
word of incompetency, untrustworthi.
ness, or lack of general adaptabiIity
to fill the Offices to which they aspire
can be truthfally said. And they
are all men who have championed the
cause on which we unite; each and
every one of them are unquali6edly
in favor of the principles advocated
by our national standard bearer in last
falls campaign, WIN. j. Bryan, and
all did noble work in the cause of BIZ
metallism.
We believe their records as citizens
will stand the closest scrutiny, and
We believe the better they are known
the stronger will they endear them
selves to the people.
Next week we shall try to more
fully state 10 our readers the quail
tications of each candidate, and We
hope from now to the close of election
day every good citizen of the county
will urge the election of these standard
bearers upon these grounds:
First-They are the regular nomi-
nees of the conventions.
Second--They are perfectly quail.
fed for the offices, and are trust
worthy and clean.
Third-Fhey are men who have
aided in the past, and will in the
future, aid the cause of bi. i.metallism
and oppose the cause of mono-metal-
lism or the single gold standard.
Fourth-They are representative of
all parts of the county.
Fifth-THEY ARE THE WINNERS.

of the price of wheat: "The simple

under such conditions, while silver
continues to go down because it is yet
