But Democrats Won It.

About twenty days previous to the
beginning of the war Gen. Grosvenor,
of Ohio, declared on the floor of the
House that it was to be Republican
war; and the Republican press from
Maine to Caiifornia have reiterated
the cry. The conduct of the war JUS
titles the belief that the Adm 'nistra-
ton has done all that it possibly could
to make it Republican war. Not
withstanding their desperate efforts in
this direction the men who have
achieved the greatest distinction are
Democrats. 1t was Dewey-Demo-
cratic Dewey-that annihilated the
Spanish feet, and it was Dewey and
Merritt-both Democrats, to whom
Manila surrendered. 1t was Hobson
Democratic Hobson-that sank the
Merrimac, and it was Schley-Demo.
cratic Schley-that demolished Ger.
vera's feet; i: was La wson and Wheeler
true Democrats-that led the charge
at Santiago and made that fight an
American victory. And now that
peace has come the 100000 who
cast their votes for Bryan are given
no representation upon the committee
appointed to arrange the terms. Four
Republicans and gold Democrat have
been appointed. An Administration
incapable of rising above partisanship
in the conduct of a foreign war should
and will be condemned by the people.

Jake thinner for. Commissioner,


The popuiists and democrats of the
third commissioner district met at
Heizer last Saturday, and placed in
nomination for commissioners Jacob
Zimmer, of Buffalo township.
The populists met first ana made
the nomination. It took several bal.
lots to decide upon the man. G. J..
French, of Pawnee Rock township,
was close second in the race, john
Coss got few votes, as did also John
Everett and Will Brandt. There was
a small attendance at the convention,
owing to the fact that farmers could
i'll afford to stop their drills to attend
political conve ltion.
After the nomination by the pop
ulist convention, the democrats met
and nominated Mr.. thinner as their
candidate.
The DEMOCRAT believes the NOM
nation a good one. It was proper
that populist should be selected,
and we have failed to find a single
democrat who says he will not sup.
port Mr.. Zlmmer. He is eminently
we'll qualified for the position, having
served on the board in the early days,
and being one of the oldest settlers of
the county. He speaks German as
well as English, which is matter of
considerable importance to many of
the people of that district, and we
bespeak for him the united support of
the anti.republican voters-which
means an election by several hundreds
majority.

Now let US have the useless old. fence
around the court yard torn down, and

Why cannot Great Bend get up a
street fair? These annual fall exhibi.

We believe Street Fair in Great Bend

remember what grand time we had
with our Merchants Carnival num-
Der of years ago. A Street Fair could
be made as successful, and at much
less expense.

And it came to pass that after he
had advertised his goods there came
unto him great multitudes from all the
regions round about, and did buy Of
him. And when his competitors saw
it they marveled among themselves,
saying; How be it that this man is
busy, while we loaf about our doors?"
And he spake unto them. saying:
"Verily, verify, L say unto you, in this
fast age of push and rustic. it is easier
for camel to enter the eye of needle
than for business man to flourish

Speaking of the 21st Kansas

Speaking of the 21st Kansas volun-
teers, who left for Leavenworth this
week to be mustered out, the Lexing>
ton Herald says: THE fast cannot
be too strongly emphasized that these
men are all quiet, gentlemaniy soldiers.
For all their quietness, however, they
are good men to let alone. While here
they have upon several occasions
shown their ability to take care of
themselves. They have further shown
their ability to take care of other peo.
pie. This fact has been recognized
by Capt n. Gaines as he is always glad
to get men from the 21st for provost
guard duty" The fact of the matter
is. there was not a regiment in the
whole volunteer army that equaled the
21st Kansas for manliness, intelligence
and patriotism, and we are exceedingly
glad they are not to be sent down to
Cuba to do garrison duty and feed the
buZzards.
