An impirtant resolution was omitted in the copy of the Democratic platform published last week. We give it in full to our readers to-day. The Bobtail ticket is the new name of tbe Democratic concern. It is not complete.—Republican. -We bet cur money on the bob-tail nag, Who will bet on the B—laekßepublicau ? We can figure out the hand-writ-ng of our Simon in the “Senatorial” article and a few of the editorial squibs in this week’s Republican. We come to this conclusion from the display of brain power infnsed into them. !

Last week Bro. James got after the Goodland Herald in the following artful manner: “Upon the premise that a political campaign is a form of warfare, and upon the principle (or want of principle) that anything is fair in war, it may be well for the Goodland Herald to garble words from the editorial articles of The Message and without their connections ascribe them to Mr. S P. Thompson in his capacity as the Republican candidate for State Senatoi. This policy is frequently resorted to by incandescent newspapers when there is lack of honor, justice and strength ir their positions. The words “an agressive partisan,” “an able man,” “the victor is abundantly qualfied,” “mental vigor,” “not possible for the opposition to meet him with one claiming superiority of mind,” are not words of self glorification, as stated by the Herald, but were used in their proper connection in an editorial article. Mr. Thompson was not consulted with reference to them, nor did he have knowledge of them until after they were in type,” etc., etc. “Upon the premise” tnat Bro. James’ record as a ‘campaigner’ is well known ‘it is not for the likes o’ him’ to take to task the Goodland Herald, or any other paper, for conclusions arrived at and published. “Upon the premise” that ‘this policy (that anything is fair in war) is frequently resorted to by incandescent newspapers when there is lack of honor, justice and strength in their positions,’ includes within its folds the j our ual i s ar eer of the Message editor, destroys the force it might otherwise have. “Upon the premise’’ that Bro, James was exceedingly desirous that Mr. Thompson should know the good things said of him in the Message, under cover of an attack on the Goodbnd Herald a firstclass opportunity was afforded to place the ‘taffy’ before Lord Simon in the concentrated form assumed in the above extract —all in a batch, as it were. “Upon the premise” that the statement that “Mr. Thompson was not consulted with reference to them, aor did he have knoweldge of them until after th°y were in type,” is true, we are curious to know, and that curiosity leads us to inquire: “Did he have knowledge of them before they appeared in print?”

The Message, referring to the Convention held in Goodland last week, concludes with: “Simon P. Thompson is also expected to be prese t. He is likely to be found during the campaign where Democrats are thickest.— The enemy will have no occasion to hunt him. They will be lively to keep out of his way.” Simon was there—in fact had arrived on the ground the day before. Contrary to the Message “bluster” however, we saw no Democrat “lively to keep out of his way.” But we did see Simon, on different occasions, quite lively in his efforts to keep out of the way of certain Democrats and members of his own party who were willing to give him the benefit ‘of their personal objections. A simple allusion to the theme proposed to be presented was sufficient to cause the brav man of the Message conception, to skip, an l the spot which knew him for the moment, knew him no more for the time being. Tariff reform was a wonderful cry two years ago, but a Democratic house of representatives could not consider a tariff bill because, because, well it did not want to. —Republican. The entire republican membership of the House, backed by a few Democrat tariffites, killed consideration. To obviate this send tariff reform Democrats to occupy the seats of Rev. Billy Owen and other tariff republicans and tariff reform will come with the change.

In a majority of the so-called Republican States, that party is indebted to the ballot in the hands of the negroes for their success. In these States the negroes hold the balance of power. And Simon invites young men of self-respect to fall :n with the party of Simeand Sambo, ’Lize Pinkston and Agnes Jenks. Ghistof Fraud Hayes! “Simon P. Thompson is the Republican nominee of 4050 voters in this district for State Senator. He will receive every true Republican vote. The office is a political one, and no Republican will neglect to vote for so good a member of his own party.”—Extract from Mr. Thompson’s “Senatorial” article in Republican. With the above before our eyes we are prepared with Bro. Kitt to believe that the same writer is responsible for the allusions to “an aggressive partisan,” “an able man,” “the victor is abundantly qualified,” “mental vigor,” “not possible for the opposition to meet him with one claiming superiority of mind,” etc. Bro. James says he wrote these latter “words of self-glorification,” and while we do not believe he would lie, yet, in the goodness of his heart, in a matter of accommodation to his favorite for the Senatorship, he may stretch the truth just a little. Just to think—“No Republican will neglect to vote for so good a member of his party.” There’s richness for you. Then again—“He will receive every true Repui lican vote.” Those he does not receive we suppose he will direct to be kicked out of the partv. “Does any party deserve success that tramples its own banner in the dust, to f llow each strange device? Honest democrats do you approve of such hypocrisy?” For Simon-Pure Cheek commend us to this appeal of “so good a member of his own party” to the voters in the opposition. The only objection our republican neighbors urge against Treasurer Hoover is the “surplus” in the Treasury. Orders are not pretested for want of funds, but paid. Orders are at par—not at discount. The people will regard their interests by continuing him in his present position. And while the people havt their hands in, we suggest that they substitute Lute Strong in the place of the present incumbent of the Auditor’s office, thus quiet the nerves of our b oody minded brethren of the ‘Republican’ and ‘Message,’ and secure the services of a gentleman every way competent, who will undoubtedly give the fullest satisfaction. Select George H. Brown, jr., of Barkley township, for Commissioner, and we have no doubt the trouble at present existing in the Board will be remedied. In this connection remember that D. W. Shields is a farmer boy, industrious and upright, competent, and deserving the position of Recorder.

The following colloquy between a couple of Republicans, one a member of the G. A. R., fixes the status of the Senatrial contestants in about its proper light: Republican—l was not aware before now that Dr. Patton had been in the Union service, but it seems he has a first class record. □G. A. R.—You bet, he has. By the way, you are an old resident, and my citizenship in this county dates since the close of the war, you can tell me: “In what engagements during the war, did Mr. Thompson participate?” Republican—“Dodd’s Raid!”— And Dodd was a Republican, too. lhe first information we had of him after being taken from here was as Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee of Wisconsin. * A seasonable item: Put a tablespoonful of brown sugar iuto a quart of paste, and ft will fasten labels as securely to tin cans as to wood.
