The issues of tho Day. Onoo upon ft time, as tho stories say. Item Nelson camo a rantin’ down our way, He was well “posted" on many bills. But not Informed on tariff bills. The Bepublieans of town what there was, Beeolved they would hoar how Nelson does; Bo at the appointed hour, not very late, About a hundred women gathered, I calculate And a few mon about the room, here and there. AU oarryln* with them a look of despair, aahcraft. was there, flrod up trim and neat In shoos a size too small for his feet, His speech came first, they couldn’t pirns oy it; ‘Ladles and gentlemen, wooamo here to-night To labor In the cause of God, home and the right; To make vice a crime and righteousness comcompel. ' and to In—ln—lnduce-It beat -well. To introduce Mr. Nelson, the oratorof the day Who will speak upon the issues of the day." Nelson started out with a thrill and a olatter But it wasn't long ’till to begins to scatter. However groat was the themes he espoused It seemed no great enthusiasm could be aroused, the audience never applauded overly loud. For the simple reason—it was too smaU a crowd. Be went on telling the things which he knew And crackin’ his arguments right straight through He told a few things none other could toll. Os what the Democrats were doin’ down in—weU, Bomeof the people wondered how the man knew Others suggested “he must have been there too," Then he told how eight years ago Cleveland said, “What the tariff is I don’t know." “Maybe he didn’t," came feeblv from behind If you examine the books, T think you'll find That Cleveland don't read what the Journal pens. Os the advantages of having a tariff on cans. Then he told of the great "Democratic war And what the Republicans freed the negro for; How all night he was compelled to ride, Tobunt proristons on the Canada side,” The Democrats are fools and Ignorant like. And blame the Republicans for the Homestead strike. And brother Ashcraft, “though my sight is dimmed” • I don’t like the way their whiskers are trimmed; They are cut too wide, and outward toss They'd look better narrow, cut straight across Their etomaehs are built so they’re rounded out And this is the way they ground arguments out At the court house on that Republican day When Nelson spoke on the issues of the day. Bin Bump. - Kansas Letter. Kan., October io, 18gt. Editor Democrat; Wmy shcrt letiorofJactoweto-.dtoM-you bf my intention to attend the stalwai t Democratic convention at Topeka. Oct. 7th and since my return from there I thought it might be of some interest to the readers of your valuable paper to know what was done at that convention and why it was called. On July 6th at the Democratic convention it was decided ■nd deemed advisable by the delegates there assembled to not place in notnina tian any electors or state ticket, but to endorse and fuse with the Peoples party Which wasdone Mid thereafter many of the county district legislative and senatorial conventions, following the dictation ■nd adyice of the state convention, did not place any ticket in the field but endorsed the candidates of the Peoples party There vas some very strong and vehement protests entered at the time by many of the de’aga'es, to any endorsement ot the Paoples party state and legislative tickets, but the major ty were for fusion ■nd it carried. " A short time thereafter these anti fusionists issued a call for a meeting of Democrats Oct. 7th who were opposed to the fusion for state and legislative officers There been among the Democrats but one 1 opinion about the electoral ticket, and that was to vote the Peoples electoral ticket, which they will do, and will undoubtedly insure the electors for Weaver. Republicans admit this. The convention assembled at lo o’clock a. m. in the Representative, hall of the new state house which is yet unfinished, but when completed will be a magnificent ■tructurejbut not equal to Indiana’s capital There were about 600 delegates present each wearing a small silk white ribbon bow, bearing the inscription, “stalwart democracy.” None but persons Wearing these badges were admitted to the hall A. A. Harris, of Ft. Scott was elected chairman and delivered an liddress of about an hours length in which he rid. fouled, in very schathing terms, “the calamity howlers ’’ as the Peoples Party are termed Mid the democrats for their fusion with the calamities, They issued ■ manifesto or address to the democratic voters and elected a state central committee. It is said the representative hall was never more tastefully decorated and the mottobs which adorned the banners hung about the room were calculated to encourage the anti-fusionists. Over the •peckers desk was a heroic portrait of Grover Cleveland, painted in oil. The . folds of the stars and stripes hung gracefully about it, and aboye, reaching the foil lenght of the gallery was a streamer on which was written in bold letters: " "Paternalism has no place in the creed of Democracy," Grover Cleveland. The ■peakers desk was literally hidden from view by the silken folds ot the American flag and streamers of stars and stripes. Beneath them on the mat ble pilasters were these »entlmerits: /'We arc Kansans . nd Democrats flail, hnt and all the time.” “Up with honest bu-iness, and down with the r«nt of Uje howleis." “Government nwnershio rail toads is undemocratic

abiding place on the sunny plains of Kansas.” “To help in the election of a legislature which will drive capital from Kansas, as a legislature drove it from Texas, is not a Democratic duty, and nobody can impose a duty of tha f description.” It is infamous to make a surrender I to the people’s party, a test of democracy. "Success of the so-called people's party state ticket in Kansas means destruction to business Interests to the state.” “Between the two evils of people’s party, radicalism and republican misrule, a democrat can vote as he pleases, or not vote at all.” If Weaver fails to get the electoral vote of Kansas, the republicans will be pleas antly surprised. A ratification meeting was held in the evening but I did not attend. I took the train in the evening west and stopped over with my old fiiend and school mate, Andrew Fritze, at Strong City, Kan. He is engaged in the drug business, and is having success and is accumulating property. I was very nicely entertained by Andrew, his estimable wife and mother Fritze. They all have property there and live in the same neighborhood. The county seat, Cottonwood Falls, is situated just one mile south of Strong City. A street car line runs between the two towns. Cottonwood Falls Is where they elected the two ladies a couple years ago police judge and mayor. On Sundty we drove over the farm of Barney Lantry. This is the greatest farm in many ways I ever had the opportunity to visit. It lays along Fox Creek, and contains 15,000 acres, has 80 miles of stone fence. We drove out five miles to see a stone house and barn that more resembles some baro nial castle than a farm residence. I can’t describe the house nor barn as it should be, and therefore will not undertake it. In our whole drive we did not leave this land. 1 He resides close to town in an ele gant house. His yard is profuse with beautiful flowers and many fountains deck the lawn. He has a park of deer and elk, many thousand cattle roam his pastures, and several stables are needed for his horses, He has his own steam mill to grind his feed, his water works with dy drants all over the lawn, barnyard and in and about the stables where die has watering troughs. A person must see it to appreciate the vastqess and grandeur of it. He is the largest railroad contractor in . the west, and is at present building roads otJu ”- p ,sce *- He is about 50 years on, in religion a Catho lie, in politics a' Democrat of the old school. He came to Strong City I 5 years ago a poor man. After returning from there I took the train for here. I will close up my basiness tp-morrow, Tuesday, and then return home. P. B. Manley and Geo. W. Bolds arrived here yesterday J. Fred France The 89th at Russiaville. Editor Democrat:—Permit me to give a short sketch of the re union of the 89th Indiana held at Russiaville, Indiana Oct, sth and 6th, 1892. We took the T., St. L. & K. C., west, at Io:2 on the morning of the sth, which landed us safely. On our arrival we were met by a large dele gation of soldiers and citizens,headed by a marshal band of music, and were marched north-east of town into a beautiful sugar grove, where we found tables prepared by the citizens, and welt laden with the best the town and county afforded, to which we were cordially invited to partake. I assure you that the boys did their duty In every particular, after which we repaired to another part of the grove and listened to an address by Gov. Ira B. Chase, after which the boys returned to the town and indulged in talking over past events of the war. We were called back to the grove for supper, and found-a bounteful supply of the substantiate, of which we partook feeling grateful to the people for their hospitality; after whieh we were assigned to our places for bed, breakfast and dinner, and were conducted to our places of assignment by a committee appointed for that purpose. The ministe’ and congregation of the M. E. church kindly allowed us the use of their commodious church building for our camp fire in the evening, where we listened to tome excellent vocal music and addresses, delivered mostly by the young people ot the place, and was highly appreciated by us all. The official business of the regiment being“disposed of a vote was taken as to where the next regimental re-union would he held, resulting in favor of Decatur. During our trip we made the acquaintance of comrade Vinson Gilliland, ot Green Town, Indiana, and a member of the nth Cavalry, who entertained us with some excellent vocal music. The Women’s Relief Corps is entitled to great praise for the part they took in making the occasion meritorious. Comrade A. J. Teeple and the writer were shown many favors by Comrade W. ?. Woody and his amiable wife, for which we return our thanks. Jas. H. Smith. Letter List. * ■ 1- a.
