Stone-Parkinson combimation stands revealed, eres Mr. Wade intorms us as we go to press that he wall cali the congres- sional committee to meet in Butler on the 13th inst. Five thousand dollars vear tor two years, total $10,000, is enough jor a man who bolted and beat a democratic nominee. _GQnaQGeG Ss We repeat that $10,000 1s enough for a traitor to the democratic party, and we think the good democrats ot | this district will retire the cyclone orator. oO The httle Adnan Adyertiser Sup- plement on “that letter’ gives away the little scheme of Sly, Wade & Uo. to help Stone and use Park so tar as he could be made usetul. ee The democrats ot Bates county think that $10,000 is enough for Stone, a man who knows not true democracy, and a man prone to tight the regular nominees ot the demo- cratic party. a—_—_—_— They say that Stone and Parkin- gon have fixed and settled things, including that little bolting treachery ot Stone’s. But that don’t fix it with the true and tried democrats of Bates county. —_—_———_o— Stone may cariy Vernon county, that is if he can fix up matters down there so that there will be no conflict in the Senatorial or Judicial arrange ments in that county.

ANOTHER ASTONISHER. | Ithas been accused through the | public press and in private conver- | | sation, to his face and at all times | | and places that Judge J. D. Parkin- son was being run in this county in the interest of W. J. Stone. His | own Official paper, the Bates County | Democrat, by its double acting course | has done more to convince the peo- | ple that this is true than any other medium. It has never been officially denied ‘by Judge Parkinson through the | press or on the stump, und his over zealousness to affiliate with the Stone | element, not only in this county, but jin every doubttul county in the district, makes the matter very sus- picious, to say the least. | Now comes the most absurd, the | most ridiculous part ot the whole | ridiculous political farce. The | Nevada Democrat, the editor of which, Col. Crockett, has been ; doubly mortgaged to our doughty congressman tor years, but who is now owned by him, heart and soul, Neyada two as the beneficiary of the post-office, column article urging the people ct comes out in a Bates county to stand by Parkinson, as a home man. That the palpable sophistry that because the editor of the Times was defeated for a post- paper uses Office, therefore he was against a home man, ; Ifwe were making the fight of | bloody rey: ultra Stone organs so flippantly accuse us of, why should we go away from home for a candidate? Does not Col, Crockett know that by embracing Judge Park- | inson’s these nge cause have the effective weapon known in a district we most fight, and one which the Stone- Parkinson organs are using valiantly, the tocsin ot ‘*Home man. ’’ Nay verily, if that had been the base motives which ied us this fight, how jovtully would we have butted the rising ot the Parkinson Into \star, as one to lead us on to victory. We could have shouted nallaluj our coming prince, the home man, jas lustily as the vertest Stone mau aow doing. But we were more patriotic motives tl our personal, sh motives We wished man represent our large | govern us in this m atter } to see a and grand district: whose personal and political record was as pure and spotless as the driven snow; who, in point of ability, was the peer of any man in the district or the U. S. Con- gress; who, being fresh trom the people, 1s of the people, and know their wants and needs, and would not be atraid to advocate them before the whole world. A man whose whole time in congress would not be taken up to peddle out that public patronage to which, by virtue of his office, he is entitled, entrenching himself for anotherterm ; who would not run the risx ot dismembering the democratic party tor his own sonal aggrandize: each per- and set up in county a gaisxy ot political bossisms, which wil! ang should quietly submit to it; who would not corrupt the youth of our fair land by openly hidding for their support. : All of the above and much more we recognize in the person of Judge Jas. B. Gantt, and we said, as do many thousand people in this district, there is a man fit to represent us. Can Col. Crockett say as much, or will he have to admit that the de - gree of his support is based upon and guaged by the benefits already receiyed? ——______ OUR 25 OENT EDITOR.

He approached Judge Gantt much in the same style, But Gantt was not buying votes, whining little sycophant had to go tu How he as Judge the the other side. well suc- ceeded, we will leave our readers to judge, having read his bid to Mr. Wade, and developments themselves so soon atterward. It Sly, as he states, formed a reso- lution not to support Judge Gantt, after consulting Wade and Parkin- shaping son, we would like to ask that talien and degenerate divine why he came out su strongly for Judge Gantt in his next paper, and hinted that our had present used whiskey and money in securing his congressman nomination and election? No, the Rev.(7) Sly was atter booty, and we presume, from his actions, he got it. Sly is anything and everything that pays, as his political course shows since he has been in this county, and his price is yery small, but tully commensurate with his worth. We beg the pardon of our readers tor giving so much space to this parasite, and would not, only to show the people the disreputable means resorted to by Wade to carry this county for Stone. THE NEXT CONVENTION. In speaking of this matter we want the people to understand that the old, hackneyed phrases of faction wars, newspaper fights, and the un tor office successtul applicants agaist the successful ones. cut no figure with us, and they should be worn so threadbare with the people, as not to rffect or influence them in the .

We oppose no newspaper or its success, Outs1¢ j pe vs of the unless we thiak it is working in the interest of cliques against the masses, 1 we consider it our neission to inform the people when we think they wre being wronged. The pol- ities ot this county, its conventions and the distribution otf county offices, have been under the control of atew time-serving bosses at the county seat for many years, until at the last Convention the people in their might arose, and by sheer force and strong will put up a ticket, never surpassed, if ever equalled.

The defeated bosses must now turn the People’s attention trom themselves and their designs to regain power; consequently they say, the last Con- vention was organized and control ed by a few fellows, and then they in- timate, that such and such tellows did the whole business. Their only object is to deceive the people and | make them doubt their success and strength, and as a result, lose inter- est in all future fights, thereby giv | ing the old bosses control again. | There never was a more baretaced | falsehood, and a moments reflection | will show it.

A schooner capsized near the government dock at Sandy Hook, Friday mght, and six ladies and a young man were drowned.

When John D. Patkinson was duly and fairly nominated by the democratic convention in the 16th Judicial district and was opposed by Judge Burtoa of Vernon county in 18S0, W. J.

Surely Mr. Stone has some worthy young men in his own county, (Vernon) that are as well qualified to fill positions as the Bates county boys?

Epiron: Dear Sir:—As I am now sight- secing in the wonderful western Kansas, I thought probably a few lines would be of inter. est to your many readers. I left Bates county on July 6th, and have been over quite a lot of Kansas by this time. The most of this state that I have traveled over has come up to my expectations. So far as Kansas being a dry atate that is altogether a mistake, as there is s xood well on every farm and almost one-halfof them have wind pumps. I counted forty atone sight, and out as far as Great Bend, in Barton county; they have good farm houses and thelr farms are well improved. So far as crops are | concerned the prospects are very good for corm as far out as Rice county, which is some two | hundred and fifty miles west of the easterm line. The wheat is comparatively poor, the | only county that has a crop is Barton, and it is bottom laud on the Arkansas river. I counted some three hundred large ricks at one sight, after leaving Barton county, going west, the jand is oot in cultivation, as it has just been taken up in the last year. This county has more nice towns than any state I was ever in, fhe largest place that I have struck up to this timeis Emporia, in Lyon county, it has popa- lation ef twelve thousand, most of the county seats have from two to four thousand popula- tion, some ef them are of only two years build- ing. The finest court house that I have seen is | at Cottonwood Falls, which cost fifty-six thou- sand dollars. I had the pleasure of witnessing the laying ef a cornerstone by the free masons ; for a college at Areat Bend, Barton county, which is on the Arkarsas river, it will cost forty theusand dollars when complete. Now I think that speaks pretty well for western Kan- sas. The finest land that I have seen in the western part of the state Is in Ness and Lane counties, is ef a good quality and I think in time will make a good farming country but I would not advise a poor mar to come here with the intention of making a living by the sweat of his brow for I think he would starve to desth, still I think that if anyone has snfficient money | to carry him through for two or three years an- | til this county bas broken out or got into ecul- | tivation he will be all right. They claim here that the more sod they get broke out the more rain they will have. The cattle are all driven out of western Kansas into Colorado, and you | now see sod houses all over this country where the buffalo used to roam at thier pleasure. I met a brother of your fellow townsman, W. E. | Walton, and found him to be a clever gentle- man. Wishing the Times and young democracy | of old Bates success, I remain yours, { Witt M.
