MT. Dalrymple. the show manager,

Mr.. Dalrymple, the show manager,
took occasion last Saturday night to
''roast" the press of this city for ''usinR
SO many complimentary tickets" We
do not consider that the DEMOCRAT
was entitled to such discourteous treat
ment, especially after we had given
him So 90 worth of advertising and re>
ceived in payment therefor $40 worth
of tickets, besides having, generally. to
hunt up some one aud ask for the
tickets which should have been
furnished when the advertising was
received. Mr.. Dalrymple may have
"been in the newspaper business him>
SELF" but if he was be should have
learned that the papers advertising
space is its .'stock In trade" the same
as are the showmsn's tickets his stock
in trade, and that the commonest rules
of business required that newspaper
men should be treated. as others, in
business like manner. Hereafter we
do not attend shows on ''comr
plimentary" tickets. If shows are ad-
vertised in the DEMOCRAT they will
pay for such advertisement, and we
will buy our ticketS-as we did last
Saturday night.

CHICKENS GALORE.

Handsome, full. blooded chickens
no matter what the breed or variety =
are pleasant to look upon. and if we
mistake not the signs the coming
poultry show, in January, will contain
many as fine fowls as can be seen in
any part of the United States.
We took occasion the other day to
visit some of the local poultry pens and
inspect their contents.
At the yards of T. D. Stradley we
found most elegant assortment of
birds aMr. Stradley has. as his
specialties. partridge coachins and
brown leghorns; and there are few finer
specimens of these two breeds to be
seen anyplace.
Emmerson Smiths yards were next
visited. There we found a larger
var:e;y of birds, all nice ones, including 6
light brahmas, barred rocks, buff
coachins, silver spangled hamburgs,
dark brahmas, and red-tops. Mr..
Smith will have several pens of prize
winners in the coming show.
At the pens of A. A. Wemmergren
we found the taste of the fanc1er run
ming to buffs-buff rocks, buff ieghorns
buff worfingtons, etc-all beauties, and
certainly as fine birds as can be found
any place in the state. He also has
some cracker-jack barred rocks, and
some game birds; but gives most of
his attention to buff rocks and buff
leghorns.
Ed. and Agnes Gibson have some
birds that are also beauties. They
have the white wyandottes. light
brahmas and barred rocks. and will
| have several pens on exhibition in the
show. They have also the Belgian
hares those fat and prolific little
animals that are a most excellent
marketable product.
! There are many other fanciers in
this city who are preparing birds for
the coming show; and in the sur
rounding country dozens of breeders
who will be in it" that were not rep
resented last year.
From all the promises the association
is receiving it is safe to predict that
there will be magnificent exhibit of
poultry and pet stock at the January,
1900, show. The premium list is now
being printed and will be out in a short
time, and ali who are interested in the
poultry interests of Barton county
should lend helping hand to make the
exhibit success. The premium lists
will be for free distribution,

BRYAN will be Elected.

Mr.. James Creelman, the able CORES
pondent of the New York Journal, was
not supporter of Mr.. Bryan in 1896,
but he predicts Mr.. Bryan's election
next year. A week before the election
he predicted that Ohio would go repub-
hcan, but he says the vote cast for
Jones will go for Bryan next year. We
quote his prediction, as follows:
The democrats and populists who
have joined the Jones movement are
unanimously and uproariously for Mr..
Bryan. There is no division of senti-
ment on that point. The republicans
who have abandoned their party fifty
or sixty thousand of them-and who
are wearing Jones buttons will have tc
vote for Hanna rule next year or go te
Mr.. Bryan. AS they have this yeal
severed their party ties as a protest
against the corruptive and bruta
domination of Mr.. Hanna, it is easy t.
see that mojority or at least a larg,
proportion of them, will support Mr.
Bryan That means a certain victor,
in Ohio for Mr.. Bryan.
With Ohio wiped off the republican
map, with Kentucky, Maryland anc
West Virginia again in the democl att,
column, and with the Bryan forces il

WHEN Oliver Cromwell was
waging his bloody campaign in
Ireland the citizens OF a certain
town his army was be sieging,
offered to surrender if he would
give them assurance that there
be no interference with their right
to liberty of conscience. Cromwell
replied: eve interfere with no
mans liberty Of conscience, but if
youmean by liberty ofconscience
the right to say the mass, that
shall not be allowed anywhere in
the dominion OF England. This
anecdote has been suggested to
us by the fact that W. NJ.
Wallace, of Kingman, has been
removed from the position OF
deputy revenue collector because,
some months ago, he had the
temerity to announce himself as
a candidate against Chester [.
Long for the Republican nom
nation for congress. Ii you ask
the Honorable Chester whether
he is in favor of political liberty,
he would doubtless reply: 'Po-
litical liberty! l interfere with no
mans political liberty; but no
deputy revenue collector shall
be allowed to NIKE the race for
congress against me in Kansas,
while l have the power to lop off
his head. Jerry Simpson S
