The political organization that thrives on business depression and ■national distress will find the year 1898 a very poor one for its peculiar line of business The speech of Attorney General Griggs has torn into tatters the stock speech of the Democratic orator. The administration is not running away from the spook issue. The Democratic Leaders are in favor of annexation to the extent of trying to claim Admiral Dewey ais a member of their party. But (he Admiral's Vermont relatives are lustily refuting the accusation. ♦ • Leader Joe Bailey cannot un-

derstand why his speeches are not indorsed by the respectable Democratic -newspapers. This is the same Dr. Baliey who could not understand wh.y his leadership was so ludicrous.

Joe,Chamberlain says there are seventy millions of us and that we are able to take care of ourselves. If Joe is not careful he will involve himself in a controversy with the present leaders of the Democratic party.

The commander-in-chief of the Democratic hosts, Senator Jones of Arkansas, in advocating the issue of greenbacks in payment of war expenses, said that gold and silver may be fiat money, but greenbacks are not; they are goverment promises to pay. Well Senator, to pay what?

The “money power” would probably make a handsome profit out of the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver. It would soon own all the silver and all the silver mines in the world and then let us have just such money and just so much of it, as would best suit its own purposes and most satisfy its greed.

Bluff and brave General Boynton has forced one of the carping medical critics to admit that he misrepresented the condition of the troops at Camp Thomas - It seems that these people don’t possess the courage of their misrepresentations.

The Connecticut Democrats have discarded the Chicago platform and propose to make a campaign on state issues. Yet George Fred Williams went all the way to Omaha to inform the country that the cause of free silver was gaining in New England.

That same old idiotic cry of “ring, ring,” has come up again here this year. It has been made in the supposed interest of the same party in every campaign for the past sixteen years, and by much the same persons. Yet it has never accomplished anything in the past and will not now. The people are not fools and they know that such a thing as a “ring” in Jasper county Republican politics does not and can not exist. If there is such a ring; who are the members or even who are some of them; and what objects and purposes have they in view, and how do they go to work to accomplish such purposes? The usual meaning of the word “ring” in a political sense, is a combination of men, usually corrupt, for the purpose of keeping control of certain offices and the emoluments thereof.

Which of our present or even of our past county officers have got or kept their places through the agency of a “ring?” Which of the candidates now on the ticket was placed there by a “ring”? The cry of a ring is the rankest nonsense, and everyone knows it is, including those who make it. The Republican candidates in this county are nominated by the rank and tile of the party, and by methods as fair and plain to all men as the noon-day sun. The conventions meet and select the candidates. Good men from farms, workshops and business rooms. They are elected to office and serve their term, and if they are faithful and efficient, as they usually are, their two terras, and then they retire to private life again, and never know ought nor see ought of anything resembling a ring.
