The Rich Hill Minsng Review has ever protessed to be a Demo- cratic paper, but the only evidence the party has of the fact, is that the) State and county Democratic ticket is found tacked to its mast head. Certainly the Review's editorial de- partment does not reflect sentiments of loyalty sufficient to justify the party in reposing much confidence There is a conflict, an somewhere that 1m- nits faith. inconsistency parts no particular credit to it as aj political organ either of the Demo- ; cratic, “Greenback or Radical par- ties The Times and Review have al- ways enjoyed pleasant relations, and itis our desire to have that good feeling continued. We have rarely had eccasien to the Reviewsexpressions and position, but we must be pardoned now for suggesting that, if the management a; to content itselt with giving the Democratic ticket only a passive support and constantly picking flaws in the proceedings ot the par- ty, the most proper thing to do for the Review as a paper and the De- mocracy as a party isto tear away the Dgmocratic ticket from its mast and replace it with that conglomer- ated political mass of Greenback, Radicai and Prohibition ingredients | mixed up at the court house on Wednesday and Saturday of last week. From all indications the Review evidently desires but two things, po- litically,—to be Democratic and at} the same time sce the regular ticket of that party defeated. Judging from the start it has made it proposes to establish the latter if not the tormer. Proposition. -* ‘ be Unquestionably the Revzew is off its base—but as tor that matter may be said that it has always been off its base, politically, ever since it sprung into existence. We admire the Review tor its pendence and boldness but warranted attacks upon the prima- ries and the result is unpardonable in day paper laying claims to being Democratic. The Review's Dem- ocratic pretentions m the past has often times diverted shots that would otherwise have gone straight to the centre. The wishy-washy,ineffectu- al way it has of being Democratic does not comport with the Stalwart much ot inde- its un- plan the people believe and prac- | Either be one thing or the | tice. other.

In secret caucus last Wednesday a Greenback speaker alluded to the Rich Hill mining element as an ig- norent, bribe-taking class, but in open convention the most honeyed words were not good enough in which to mix up their dose of taffy to the miners en The Republicans say they can do without Greenback assistance in Bates county. The Greenbackers should now show their contempt for Republican infidelity by retiring their | piece of a ticket from the field and voting solid with the Democrats. There is no shadow oi a doubt about the, bargain between the Radicals and Greenbackers of the county. Radical perfidy, however, is apparent in every transaction of the party and Saturday's craw-fishing process is nothing new to behold. —— - i he opposition papers are enquir- | ing into the disparagement of figures tor the office of Prosecuting Attorney as officially announced in the Times last week. A review of the tally sheets in our possession show a i} clencal error of 500 in the footing s up ot the vote. This, presume, is sufficient explanation of: Filley, Weaver and St. John comes along, just fall into line and ‘“*go off with the show.’’ La THEY DIDN'T FUSE. For six months past the Republi- can and Greenback leaders have been } courtiag each other with a view to torming a matrimonial alliance in the county campaign. The affection existing between these high contract- ing parties we imagine to have been But the old adage, “there is many a shp exceedingly deep and sincere. between the cup and the lip’’ is singularly applicable case. The marr take place, though the Greenbackers performed their part of the contract. Accerdiny to in this ge did . not previous ment the Greenbackers met in con- vention last Wednesday and placed in i.cmination avout one-half of a | ticket, leaving for the Republican | to the point, and fully expresses the convention, which assembled three days later, to endorse what had been doue and complete the ticket. But come to grief because of Radical perfidy. The Republican convention met aturday, and every delegate had we Snes blood in his eye.

To say the least, the proceeding | has been quite edifying to Demo. | crats as well as instructive and satts- | factory. Our Greenback friends. of course, are Jett in rather an un- | enviable plight; nothing more or less than should be expected trom the | Republican party. They deceived ithe Greenbackers, and did it in- | tentionally, tor the most commen ex- | pression in the convention, in the {caucus and in the lobby was that they did not propose the tail should wag the dog,’’ meaning by this that the Republican party could get along | without the Greenbackers assistance We Shall see how the G. B’s. take this snub. j ss | i | We cannot, consistent with our: H | feelings of personal friendship tor | Mr. Jeff Aldridge, indulge in any harsh language to express our disap- pointment and disapproval of his | conduct in becoming an independent } icandidate for Recorder; but true Democrats cannot be expected to | support any man who, after submit- jing his chances of election to the primaries, then, because he is not chosen, bolts the nominations of his | party and by declarations of imagi- } nary “‘rings’’ and *‘frauds’’ declares himself an independent candidate. All the Republicans and Green- ; backers are howling furiously about a*Butler Ring.’? Democrats, listen ; tous a moment: The time was,but } is not now, when there existed a/ **Butler Ring,’’ and all the talk in- dulged in to the contrary is only in- | tended to instil mutiny inthe Demo- | cratic ranks.
