DeAr- mond throughout the district,recog nizing hi3 pre-eminent qualifications. are earnestly soliciting him to become a candidate for congress. The democracy of Bates county would feel proud to present the name of her most eminent citizen and distinguished lawyer to the con vention which meets in Butler Au gust Gth, and feel cerfain that should he receive the nomination, he would make one of the most brilliant cam paigns ever made in this district and take his seat in concrress with the largest majority ever given a candidate for that high office. J udge DeArmond's great ability, energy and indomitable courage would soon be recognized by his party leaders in congress and assure him a place at the front with the greatest minds of our nation. We do not know that Judge De- Arniond will consent to make the race, but we do know that there is no better congressional timber in the state, and he will be a formidable candidate should he conclude to run WON'T "TALK ELECTIONS" ANY MOEE- Bro. Wade doesn't display any great amount of nerve when ho claims the exclusive right to "talk elections in the city," andjwe admit that it is "unbecoming'' in us to so talk with out first consulting our dear broth er "upon wnose reputation rests the fate of the democratic party." It seemed so long ago since we heard the old familiar title of "Boss" pre fixed to the name of our dear broth er, ana lie lias so olten entered his emphatic denial and denunciation of the term, declaring upon his reputa tion that such was not the case that we did make bold to exercise the right of a free American citizen and "talk elections." But we now hasten to apologize for our temerity, and assure Boss Wade that we know his influence is all powerful and far reaching. We frankly admit and fearlessly proclaim that it was Wade's influence that secured the large majority for water works. In fact the proposition might have been defeated,had he not come gallantly to the rescue. That it was his influence, exerted through his great daily that carried the day for the light proposition, and we do not believe that any one will be so bold as to deny that it was he and he alone who rushed into the breach, saved our people from themselves and promoted our city from a fourth to a third class. It might be assert ed by some reckless individual who hasn't the proper fear of the great Boss that auy paper could watch the drift of public sentiment and go with it; but it takes a great mind to foresee these things aud plenty of nerve to claim all the credit thereaf ter. But if in all of Bro. Wade's career in Butler, he was ever accus ed of not possessing an abundant supply of the last named article we never heard of it. A KANSAS EDITOR'S VIEWS There is no use to try to disguise cr deny the fact that a great majori ty of the rational, thinking people of the west are decidedly in favor of free coinage of silver, and reduction of the tariff, if not to free trade, to at least a revenue basis. The great majority of the thinking republicans believe this way and occasionally you find our who has the courage of his convictions to protest against the injustice done the great agricul tural interests of the country ia favor of the gold bugs of Wall street Such a one we find in Col. Murdock editor of that staunch and reliable republican paper, the Wichita (Kan. Eagle. We nuke the following short extracts from that paper of re cent date and submit them to candid consideration of oar republican mends, coming from so eminent t member of their party: "Free coins ire of silver, fnr ;n. stance, would relieve the monetary stress of the nation the President Harrison puts his siima- .ure io me oiu. win tne republi can party pass it, or President narnson sign it! We doubt both. But both must know thai th ent Tolume of currency is not half as great as the business and develop- ujouts oi iuo country demands. The republican party will sweat tMwu, ajrw urops oi it, ior "prohi oiuon" and other aide issues which ouch the prosperity of the people only in the remotest way, other than the gratifying of broaaciotn loafers and tramps clothed in fine linen, yet when it comes to correcting the abuses of these great economic ques tions, the republican party, no less than the democratic party, becomes the whipped whelp of corporative voracity. Was Suiss right Uoes tne Eagle endorse him? Listen here! The McKinley bill is an outrageous per formance. It is but a cheap mon key show in the face of high heaven and of the American people. It is an attempt to make an angel of the devil without abreviatmg his tail or sawing off his horns. It takes dol lars from the farmers and returns them dimes. It does not impose a single duty which will help a Kan sas farmer. What do we care about the duty on eggs and on hay? The suggestion ought to render the av erage Kansas rooster impotent and start the hens of every barn yard west of the Mississippi to crowing. The Lord preserve us. but what with the McKinley bill, the supine ness of the Reed Cannon led crowd in the lower house of congress, and hypocritical prohibition, if the re publican party in Kansas don t hear something drop next November, then twenty-seven years in the edi tonal service has only fitted us for the insane asylum. Ihe additional duty on wool is but water gruel of the weakest sort for tne Kansas farmer upon whose heart s blood the goldite of Wall street and the combinete of New England and of the east fattens to full-eyed paucity. As the stars in their course fought against Siseria, so the civilization of the closing hourd of the nineteenth century fights against the hide bound tariff burthens with which the west is be ing saddled by the incorporated bloats of eastern manufacturing and Atlantic money centers; saddled, too, t-y the men by the political parti s which the people them selves sustain aud keep in power. FOB CONGRESS- Wt: take pleasure this week in presetting the name of Hon. Chas. H. M rgan, of Barton county, as candiilatf for congress. Col. Mor gan has a large number of strong personal friends in this county and a nuiiiber of admirers who remember him well and favorably from other campaigns. He served the people of tli is section of the state well and faithfully for two terms in the lower houHH of congress. He gained the reputation of being one of the best committee workers in the house, be sides being a polished speaker, a deep reasoner and one who looked well to legislat ion affecting the in terest!) of his constituents. Charley Morgan has always been a tariff re former and in his campaigns of 74 and '76, a desperate fight was made on him in the lead and zinc mines of Jasper county as a free trader. He met the argument like a man by go ing among the miners and convinc ing them that protection was the very thing they did not want In congress he voted with the tariff re formers for Carlisle for speaker and against Randall. Mr. Morgan be lieves in free and unlimited coinage of silver and of placing the silver dol lar on an equal footing with a gold dollar. In fact he is a wests demo -crat and his views on all these great questions are in entire har mony with the western people. He is a courteous, clever, afiable gentle man, and has a strong following and creates enthusiasm wherever he goes. STATE SENATOR. The name of Hon. Thomas Gault, oi Osage township, can be found in our announcement columns as a can didate for State Senator from this the 16th senatorial district. Mr. Gault has been a prominent citizen of our county for a number of years, and while his voice is ever heard In democratic councils and his labors indefatigable and telling in the thickest of the fight, battling for party supremacy, he has never held county or district office. The Lord never made a better democrat than Tom Guolt or one more deserving of party recognition. He is a farmer, consequently knows the needs of that large class of citizens, and if nominated and elected, while look ing to the interest of his whole con stituency will especially urge legis lation directly affecting the interests of the farmer. Mr. Gault is a gen tleman of the strictest integrity, of the highest sense of honor, digni fied and courteous in his bearing, and would so conduct himself in this high office to which he aspires as the people of the several counties so honoring him could feel that their interests are well protected. He has no pledges to make other than that he is strongly in favor of returning the Hon. Geo. G. Test to the United States Senate and will so vote, and further will give the office his undi Tided attention, and will faithfully, fearlessly and honorably, to the very best of his ability, demean himself iu office. He says he would, in the language of the immortal Clay, "rath er be right than be President." He pledges to return the democratic banner to his .party untarnished by a single blot or blemish. Meeting of Senatorial Committee. Pursuant to call of chairman the executive committee of the 16th Senatorial District, comprsing the counties of Bates, Cass and Henry, met in Butler on Monday, the 23rd day of June. The members of com mittee present were Thos. Irish, of Bates and R. T. Railey, of Cass, W. F. Carter, of Henry being represent ed by proxy. On motion, Harrisonville was se lected as the place to hold the next senatorial convention, and the time fixed on Monday, July 28th, 1890, at 10 o'clock a. m. of that day. It was further resolved. That the representation from the several counties composing the district be the same as the representation, at the last state convention to wit: Bates 7, Cass 6, and Henry 7 dele gates. It was recommended by the com mittee that township mass conven tions be held in the several counties on Saturday, the 19th day of July, 1890, at 3 o'clock, p. m. for the pur pose of selecting delegates to coun ty conventions to be held in the sev eral counties on the following Satur days to. wit: July 26th at 3 o'clock p. m., at which time the prescribed number of delegates aforesaid to the sentaorial convention shall be chosen. The regularly chosen democratic committeeman of each municipal township in the district are request ed give due and proper notice of the time and place for the holding of the township mass conventions recommended by the committee. At the meeting of the Senatorial convention a new executive commit tee will be selected. Thos Ibish, R. T. Railey, Chairman, Sec'v. A Card. To my friends I desire to say that it has been a time honored cus torn of the democratic party that where an officer elected by it to a short, or two years term, had fairly and faithfully performed the duties of his office, to concede to him a sec ond term without opposition, saving to him a great amount of unneces sary expense in making a canvass. I am gratified to learn (so far as I can do so,) that this is the disposi tion of my party in my case, for which I am indeed deeply grateful. During my term of office as prose cuting attorney I have endeavored to faithfully, fairly and honestly discharge my whole duty to all the people of Bates county without fear or favor, regardless of party or local prejudice, and if again nominated and elected, I solemnly promise the people of Bates county that in the future, as in the past, I shall make it my whole aim, fairly, fully and honestly to perform every duty im posed upon me as an oflicer of the county. My announcement will ap pear in the next weekly issue of this paper. Respectfully. Calvin F. Boxley. Louisville, Ky , June 22. The Hon. Worth Dicker son was yester day chosen by the usual majority to succeed John G. Carlisle as the rep resentative in congress of the Sixth Kentucky district.
