A PARTY.
vanishing Strength OF h Democratic
Party in Vermont.
~PhIladalnhla Praaa

One OF the results foreshadowed by the
Vermont election is the near disappearance
OF the democratic party in that state. It's
vote has shown a rapid decline for twenty
years past, and in Tuesdays poll II took a
sudden slump. leaving the democratic ticket
with only one-third the vote the party cast
twenty-five years ago.
This decline in democratic strength is
made evident in the following table, which
contains the vote cast by the democratic
party for governor in each biennial election,
beginning with 1880:

Mr.. w. w. Hazard. the gentle
man who has become known In many
of the most thriving towns in this part
of the country as the man who gives
away gold watches. opera glasses, sill

shown a certain article for which you
will trade so much for that article.
The amount will be in accordance
with the value of the article. A repre-

residence. Should they miss you, ask
for the trading tablets in the store.
The presents will be on exhibition for
your inspection in the store, Satur.

At which time we will endeavor to

is generally conceded to be the high.
est class inducement ever offered to
the people of Great Bend. Messrs.

sell more goods, by so doing they car
sell them still cheaper.

SHAME on our country. The
British Government has in New
Orleans uniformed officers of the
army and navy with furnished
and advertised headquarters.
They purchase ordnance and
commissary supplies amounting
to millions of dollars. They en-
list men for the British army.
Supplies and men are sent to
South Africa to strengthen the
British army fighting a liberty
loving, liberty struggling people,
defending their republican form
of government. Their cause is
the same as ours in 1776, and
against the same tyrannical gov
ernment. And the republican
administration at Washington
tolerates and encourages the
British to do just what they are
doing. Accredited representatives,
of the Boer republic sent to
Washington are refused a hear
ing by the president and heads of
departments. The Washington
authorities claim that they are
powerless to prevent the British
from doing just as they please
and yet there is no precedent for
it in history. Andrew Jackson
and Abe Lincoln would have
found a way. Such conduct will
make the dry bones of Jackson
and Lincoln rattle in their
graves.-Hutchinson Gazette.
