Democratic Sentinel, Volume 18, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 May 1894 — Page 1 Advertisements Column 2 [ADVERTISEMENT]

Mr. Pha?e*Bß, of Benton county, a renegade democrat, received the nomination for senator in she re* publican senatorial convention met at Goodland, Tuesday. Bev. Billy Owen, the republican nominee for secretary of state, bo’t a large amount of Mexican gold mine stock, as did also ex-gov parson. Chase, and induced others by his example and representaton, to invest. For his stock he executed his note, which he af' erwards re* fused to pay.

At the congressional co vention which met in Rensselaer in 1890, and r. *nominated Id. Billy Owen the parson, in the course of his remarks, said that be and hi 8 friends would “bury the democrats so deep face down, that the harder they scratched thesoonet they’d reach home. ” It was a rather improper expression to emanate from a parson, and Billy got left on the day of judgment the following Nos vember. Hawkins, Carson, Hartley and Marquis, delegates to the senatorial convention from Carpenter twp, and Simon P. Thompson’s em* ploye (Babcock), of Union town* ship, were too much for Chilcote, in the senatorial race. Simon always has his hatchet ground and whetted for the republican ex chairman. Jasper county had 18 votes which, with the 12 from Newton county, would have more than nominated him. But Car* penter’s 4 and Union’s 1 defeated him. Will the ex*chairman re* taliate?

Senator Turpie gave the Republican filibusters in the Senate a terrible scoring. They deserve it. The Kansas City Star in commenting on the matter says that the outbreak by Senator Turpie and his forcible denunciation of Sen* ator Aldrich will come under the head cf Ohristion forbearance and long suffering, and will not be altogether conformable to strict notions of decorum. But to a large number of people who havr wearied or the dawdling methods of the benate, who have lost pa* tience with the pettiness of the Republican obstructionists and the skirmishing for small party advantage, the vi or of Mr. Turpie’s lauguage will be overlooked in the hope of its salutary effect. In ell political bodies parliament* ary strategy and cunning are look* ed for and te a reasonable extent tolerated, but when, for the shallowest partisan purposes, this strategy degenerates mto pure fil bus, tering and obstruction, it should be dealt with in a way that will prove the most effectual. The present attitude of the Republican? in the senate is taken on the thinnest pretense, and they seek refuge in the most trifling technicalities to embarrass their oppon* ents. Their course is neither pa • triotic nor sinjere, and their as* sumptions count for nothing more than partisan bluffing. In th ; s styleof parliamentary bushwhacking Senator Aldrich has constituted himself a leader, and put him* self fairly and squarely in the way when Mr. Turpie set the buzz*saw going.”

Senator Turpie’s recent speech on Senator Aldrich can only be considered in the line of tariff re™ form by being considered an exhi < bition of free raw material.—St. Loui? Republic (dem.)
