UNITE IN ONE PARTY.
Frank Belt Speaks From Observation of
The Late Election Results.

Pawnee Rock, Kans., Nov. 10, 1900
EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
DEAR SIR:-Upon observation
we find that we have fulfilled our
promises perfectly in this coun-
ty. Nationally and state? Well!
we have met the enemy and are
theirs. l would have met far
better success financially, had [
confined myself to the County,
as [ landed all taken that way.
In the concluding sequel, it is
certainly evident that fusion,
Nationally, is not practical; too
many conflicting interests to ap-
pease. The minor parties if hon
est in their plea for National re-
form, certainly see the great
necessity of the general absorp-
tion into one grand National
party. The fragmentary condi-
tion that the present defeat has
rendered cannot possibly give
any hope for a continued triune
in politics. Evidence is assumed
in the simple polling of a single
voting precinct as recognized by
an Observant election board
officer. There will be displayed
the want and contingencies thus
arising, which never can be con-
trolled like two great political
parties in contention.
For example, see one-fOurth of
your party vote, as lined up this
time, voting anon-partisan vote,
whereas if only two parties were
in the field, it would only simply
be a choice between friend and
foe.
In short, it is a complication
that will never be managed sue
cessfully, in politics, especially
nationally speaking.
Thus, for a coming future, oul
cry should be, one nominating
convention and party.
Yours Truly,
F. T. BELT.

A YOUNG man working on a
paper once said he did not try
to do very good work for his en-
ployers, because they "did not
pay much" This doing poor
work because it does not pay
much is just what keeps thou
sands and thousands of young
people from getting on in the
world. Small pay is no excuse
for doing half work or slovenly
work. Indeed, the pay which
one receives should have nothing
to do with the quality Of his
work. The work should be a
matter of conscience. 1t is a
question of character, not of re.
muneration. A person has nc
right to demoralize his OWL
character by doing slovenly OF
half-finished work simply because
it doesn't pay much. A consci
entious person will do his work
lust as we'll if he receives nothing
more than his board for it. A
large part of the best work that
has ever been done in the history
of this world has been only hal

DEMOCRATS may be beaten in
the nation, but the principles we
fought for will live on to poster
the McHanl.a administration
for the next four years. Eng
land reioices greatly at the sue
cess of commercialism and ex-
pansion by force of arms. She
knows that her friends are again
in power for another four years;
and she will make the most of it.
Nov look for that American
English alliance that has been
secretly formed to be openly an
tnounced. Democrats may be
beaten at the polls; but there is
a weight of responsibility resting
on our political enemies that
makes them a little uncertain
about bubbling over with JOY.

We WORKED and voted against
all increase in our standing army,
against supremacy of trusts and
against permanently retaining
the Philippine Islands, because
we considered all these things
Injurious to our country. We
worked and voted for the cleo
tion of senators by the people,
for the initiative and referendum
in making laws, for an income
tax, for putting a representative
of labor in the presidents cabi-
net, for equal rights to all and
special privileges to none. We
would work and vote the same
way again if we had an oppor-
tunity. Who wouldn't if, these
measures did not have a party
name attached?- Seneca Courier
