THE party that monkeys with free
silver in the next campaign will not
have corporal's guard after the bal
lots are counted. Free silver is dead
issue and Bryan is a back number.
The cross of gold and crown of thorns
will create no more stampedes in this
country.-Cdpe Democrat.
Sh, Ben-sh! Don't give the thing
away to these fool Democrats! Let
'em rush on to everlasting destruction,
and then will come the Republican
millennium.
Then you shall battle your weary soul
In seas of heavenly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across your peaceful breast!

THE Butler county primaries last
Saturday declared by vote of about
two to one in favor of Hon. j. L. Fort
for Circuit Judge. This settles the
nomination in that circuit, and Dem
ocratic nomination is equivalent to an
election, regardless of independents
and Republicans.

EDITOR TRIGG, of the Richm Con-
serUator, Is a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Railroad Com
missioner. We rather think his
chances are not quite so good as they
would have been had he not in 1895.
and later on, written and published
articles of which the following is fair
sample:
One of the most contemplate insults
ever offered to set of men was that
offered by the convention at Pertle
Springs Tuesday to the members of
the Democratic state central commit
tee. 1t was an unheard of proceeding,
bred aud born in rottenness and mean
ness and was beneath the dignity of
gentlemen. Many of the members of
the state central committee have keld
the position for years, have been elect
ed and reelected, and have spent years
of their time, and much of their money
battling for Democratic principles,
without pay. while a lot Of the howl
ing hounds after them have been suck
ing the public pap, and enjoying the
fruits of rich Offices won for them.
After all these years of faithful work
these same ungra:eful devils come for
ward when they can no longer use the
members of the committee for their
own selfish ends, and declare that they
have no more confidence in them, and
propose to increase the membership of
the state central committee by adding
nineteen new members of contain pro-
nounced views on the silver question,
to watch and guard the actions of the
fifteen old members. No greater in
suit was ever offered to a set of faith
full servants and the action of the con-
vention smacks loudly of the action of
q lot of fire eaters and cranks.
