ACCORDING to the Topeka Herald
a Kansas Democrat who lately spent
a few days in Washington says that
ex-senator W. A. Harris does not
take kindly to bis boom for vice
president on the "Cleveland ticket. :"
Harris, the Kansas man says, has no
use for Cleveland, and would not
ostultify himself by training in Cleve-
lands crowd. Harris" says the
Kansan, ''has no earthly use for a
bolter, and as Cleveland is the most
prominent bolter in the country,
cleveland is the most obnoxious
. bolter to Harris Harris is convinced
that the only hope of the Democratic
party is to nominate for president a
man round whom all Democrats can
rally. He knows that many Bryan
Democrats would not support Cleve-
land. He also is satisfied that the
Cleveland crowd would bolt radical
Bryanite. Harris wants conserva-
tive Democrat for president, but he
must be one who voted for Bryan in
1896 and 1900"

Partizan Crawfishin2.

The city council, at its May meet
ing, voted to receive bids for and lie,
to the lowest bidder the city printing
at the June meeting. Last Monday
night at the June meeting, the same
council on motion changed the
minutes of the May meeting so as to
cut out the ''lowest bidder" clause.
One newspaper had bid in, but the
two others did not Yet the one bid
was not considered, and, on the
affirmative of vote three members of
the council Zone only voting in the
negative) a motion was declared
carried naming paper as the official
paper which has not been published
consecutively long enough to make it
legal publication, and which is not
read by one-fifth the number of
Great Bend citizens who read the
DEMOCRAT. And the city printing is
to be done by the pet of these two
partizan councilmen with the tacit
consent of the mayor and the other r
councilmen) at a higher rate than the
DEMOCRAT would have done the
printing. Some of the councilmen
wanted to see ''the city printing passed
around" 1t has been 8 or 10 years
since it passed this way, and it would
have saved the city money to have
our bid and let the printing to
the DEMOCRAT. Such action would
at least have released the council from
thecharge of petty partizanism, and the
CONTROL of ward strikers for the G.
0. P. Perhaps, however, the council
does not care to save the city any
money.

Evolutionary and Musical Entertainmt mt

There will be an elocutionary and
musical entertainment given at the
Presbyterian church on Wednesday
evening June 18th. The musical
selections will be given by the Ladies
Quartette, and also other musical
talent of the city.
The elocutionary selections will be
given by Rev. F. P. Jolly, from
Whitcomb Riley and Dunbar. Rev.
Jolly has given elocutionary entertain
ments before some leading places and
colleges of Illinois and Kansas.
Prof. Dawson, one of the leading
educators of Illinois, has this to say
concerning his reading before Lake
Forest University:
s'The last and one of the best
entertainments of the College year
was that presented May Goth, by Mr..
F. P. Jolly. 1t was given in the
College chapel in the presence of
students, professors and townspeople,
and was one of the best of its kind,
which | have attended in second
years. The entertainment consisted
of many and varied selections from
Riley and Dunbar, all rendered in an
imitable manner. Mr.. Jolly is an
entertainer of great ability and is
gifted with rare powers of impersona-
tian. His whole wo-k is of a high
tone and quality Intellectually and
morally. That he has power to hold
and charm an audience was evident
on this occasion and all present were
enthusiastic in his praise"
Arthur c. Dawson, Professor of
French Language in Lake Forest
University.
The proceeds of this entertainment
will go exclusively to the benefit of
the church.

years reward has been paid for tine
destruction of those birds yet some

in addition drive away our native
