NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Tbe local market
opened steady. 3 TO down, with trading fairly
large. Buying very good. but local bears
working hard to keep prices down. Liver
pool was good buyer in the local market. 1t is
claimed that private reports are coming out to-
night showing that the ginners' report, when it
is officially announced, will be about II, 600 900
bales. This will compare with 1874. 900 bales

bearish. The spot situation is somewhat stronger

WHITE ON DEMOCRACY.
Emporia Editor Says Democratic Sue
cess Would be a Calamity.

Emporia Editor Says Democratic Sue
cess Would be Calamity
William Allen White, editor of the
Emporia Gazette, was disappointed at
the failure of the republican state
convention to nominate some of the
men he favored for office and in con-
sequence has been doing considerable
kicking. In view of his kicking a
democratic newspaper suggested that
White should support Col. Harris, OF
Chicago and the rest of the candidates
on the democratic ticket White re-
sponded with the following statement
of reasons why neither he or anyone
else should vote the Democratic ticket
in Kansas this year or at any other
time:
THAT looks fine on paper. 1t works
out beautifully as theory. There is
not flaw in the scheme But the
hard uncomfortable facts are that whe
the democratic party has been in
power in this state or in the nation, it
does not enforce the laws; it does not
give the people purer politics, and in
stead of these things it gives them
confusion, pickering and trouble The
democratic party in Kansas no sooner
gets into power than it begins to quar-
rel. A democratic administration
in Kansas would set the states clock
back a dozen years. Harris might
mean well and of course he does mean
well-but he would have to fight the
hungry horde of Office seekers who
would want to turn the state upside
down to get at the crib. He would
be able to do little or nothing The
democrats party as a party offers
little hope for Kansas and while here
and there a democratic candidate who
is worthier than the republican can
didate who is opposing him, and here
and there is a place on the ticket
where for the good Of the party re-
publicans should rebuke their party,
yet the fact remains that the demo-
cratic party never helped Kansas or
the country, and democratic vic
tory would be a miserable mistake in
Kansas at this time.
''It is all right to have a demo-
cratic party. And it is all right to
have it operated about as it is oper-
ated now with a gambler at the head
of the national committee and u false
alarm at the head of the state conn
mittee. For there are many citizens
who are not moved by an appeal to
their nobler instincts, and the demo-
cratic party bears the same relation
to good government that hell fire and
damnation bears to religion: 1t scares
lot of naturally ornery citizens"

Will Enforce Square Deal.
One of the offices which is more in
terest to the people than any other
tendent of insurance.
c. H Luling. who has been super
intendent for four years, has earned
the reputation of being the best Off
cial who has ever held the place. He
has turned more money into the state

surance companies to leave the state.
He has had as assistant superinten-
dent during the four years he has
been in Office Charles W. Barnes, the
republican candidate for the place.
Mr. Barnes was a newspaper man and
insurance man before he went into the
public service and during the four
years he has been assistant superin-
tendent he has learned in addition all
that Luling knew of practical meth
DDS of conducting this important office.
He has done 4 great deal of work dur
ing the four year administration and
has counselled with Luling in regard
to every official action of Importance
that has been performed in the Office.
Mr.. Barnes will be a worthy success

he will not receive a square deal in

KEYNOTE MISSING.
Democratic Candidate Refrains From
Indicating His Position.

Newspaper representatives have
been trying for some time past to
induce Harris, of Chicago, to make
a plain, open statement of his po-
sition on the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law for publication. Col.
Harris will not make the statement
requested. Instead he says he made
his position plain in his Fort Scott
speech 1t will perhaps be remem-
bered that Col. Harris failed to fur

Scott speech and that the democratic
committee has failed to have copies
of the speech circulated. Who knows
Just what Col Harris said about the
prohibitory law at Fort Scott? Why
should he be averse to restating his
position? 1t is because he knows
that he can not make a statement on

Democratic Campaign Ship is Hope
lessIy lost


Even the stauncfIest democratic
leaders admit that their party is
without an organization in the state.
They are working under the guild
ance of such magnificent political gem
erals as w. H Ryan and w. H. L.
Pepperill and if these two stragettstS
cannot pull the party out of its nut.
there is little hope for it in future
campaigns. The party managers do
not even know how to take up and
carry on the plans made by w F.
Sapp, the former chairman. Had the
party leaders not turned Sapp out
in the cold after he put the party
on its feet there would have been
a fighting chance for them in the
present contest, but the present lead

organization together, but they have
failed to form a new one. They are
hopelessly beaten and have never had
a chance to defeat the republican
ticket
