Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1899-10-27

THERE were no particularly
startling acts in the republican
newspaper circus last weed. Edi-
tor Townsley of the Tribune, and
Editor O'Bleniss of the Clarion
made holly shows of themsel-
yes as usual. Bro. O'Bleniss'
principal acts being the painting
of another fine character of Edi-
toor Cooke of the Leader, using
a liberal supply OF mud with a
free hand Really, these black
republicans ought not to paint
each other blacker than they
really are. AS to Bro. Towns
ley's part of the show, he did an
amusing act that everybody will
laugh at who remembers how he
has heretofore roasted his "hOg
and hOming" friend of Home
stead township, Col. Stewards.
Bro. Townships funny business
consisted of his holding Mr.. Sow
ards up to the public as a pure,
undeffled, marrow in the bone
and wits in the wool, republican
patriot. The way the Judge
slobbered over Wash would make
a bull-snake wriggle off and die
OF envy. And Wash, by-the-way,
gets into the game through the
Register, playing the clown act,
as usual, and exhibiting his ''rec-
ord and pedigree" which a few
years ago the republicans said
was n. e. because he was then
eonsigning them to a place ''hot-
ter than hi" By next week
the animals will all beroaring to
best the band, and are expected
to come into the ring. Verify the
republican newspaper circus in
Barton county begins to grow
more interesting than a dog
fiUht.
