It’s safest to Let everybody turin out to the township primaries to-morrow at 2 o’clock and vote. Then no chance will be given tncksters and schemers to get in their work Do not be deceived by lying cam- paign reports sprung at the eve ot the convention. They are concoct- ed and told to deceive and should have no weight with the voter. Stone made a speech in tavor ot the laboring element, and then dodged the vote. He made fair and flattering promises but tailed to ma- terialize when his vote was needed. It you circulars with alleged tacts meet so late that the party assailed has no time to meet them, be sure they were held back because other- wise they would be satisfactorily disposed of. Stone out Herods the rankest re- publican on centralization, in advo- cating the control of the railroads and the telegraph lines by the Government. How do States tights democrats like the idea of the Gov- ernment controlling and operating such companies through the various States and thus largely intertering with their internal affairs and man- agement? ah, | BEWARE OF SECRET CIRCULARS. | It seems that N. A. Wade, P. M. and kis 25 cent parasite in the north part of the county are making their |Stone campaign, not in an open ‘ honorable way advocating the claims and qualifications of their candidate, | | but hiding behind the Parkinson mask. and flooding the country with | handbills and secret circulars. They expect to catch the honest voter by | the most dishonerable and contempt | able course ever adopted by the wiley politician, Following close upon Sly’s | bills we find the tollow:ng circ mailed to the honest voter through the Butler postoffice and directed in Mr. Wade’s hand writing. You will see they are marked confiden- for Mr ne to see every one of you in per- son, on account of the scarcity of time, but he | is willing to leave his interests in your hands You are somewhat familiar with the record he has made during the first session of his first term in congress, and it is democratic to accord during the first. The eutlook is very good, provided his interests are not neglected, er his friends are not too confident or apathetic Recognizing you as a good worker be asks that you take especial pains to see that his friends will be placed on the delegation from your township, and, to that end, will induce as many as possible to attend the convention on the 12th, at 2 o'clock, p. m. sharp He has no desire to antagonize any local in- terests. He leaves the case in your hands promising that services rendered will be appreciated and remembered Now we appeal to the honest, tair minded voter, even though he favor Mr. Stone’s if treachery and untair and dishonor- re-nomination, such able means are justi ocratic campaign, among members | ot the same party, and shoutd they succeed? It looks very much as it Mr. Stone intends to adopt the same means used in 1SSo when he defeat- ed the regular nominee for circuit Judge in the 25th Judicial circuit, because, forsooth, Judge Parkinson, the regular nominee, did not tavor Mr. at that time- well Stone’s candidacy for congress The honest yoter may look w a se suspicion upon cret circular light of day. The underground rail- road in politics in Bates county has seen its best day, and the people should see thatat be never again im the ascer cy, as in the past. From all the tacts we can but ¢ duce the following conclusions: The confidential circular was written by Mr. Wade, printed in Wade’s office, addressed to the Wade's own hand-writing, and sent through the Butler postoftice by the Butler P.M. voter in Wade claims to be for Judge Parkinson and 1s urging his claims upon the people as a home man and yet he will deliberately toist such a campaign document as the above upon the people in the interest of Stone. Will the honest voter persist in being deceived when his eves are thus opened by proofs so posi- tive? And does it not appear a ht. tle strange to an inquisitive u Judge Parkinson is apparently so well pleased with the course being pursued by the Democrat, when he holds the power to force terms. STATESMANSHIP. Congressman Stone in his speech | at Rosier last Saturday undertook to lug in a local quarrel between two institutions in this county, in order to influence voters against Judge Gantt, and in furtherance of the scheme read the letter written him by Wr. Walton in the postoffice em brogho. This is really an allustra- tion of Mr. Stone’s calibre. This congressional district 1s composed of nine large wealty counties, peopled by intelligent citizens, in our estima- tion, but the schemes and shallow pated dodges resorted to by Mr. Stone and his tnends is an insult to their intelligence. Ask youtselves what interest can these great coun- ties electing a representative to the great national legislature have in such a question as a local dispute in one county. What issue or great question of the day is involved? | How does :t affect the democratic | Party of this district or its national | i . s - | Policy? Yet it is flaunted in the | | a man a second term if he does reasonably well | ible in a dem- |] that will not bear the | | Kansas legislature when Pomeroy | ran, or Dresden’s honesty i= the New | York legislature when Platt ran?

It is long and ¢ but not so interestin news, the letters were ottered as un advertisement. we filled with regrets that no room could be tound tor the ad. But much as we desired to advertise Mr. Car penter and Judge Parkinson, the lack of available space forbid. Meanwhile we console oufself with the reflection that Wade’s paper may have room for the matter, and that af it hasn’t, it will be tor the reason that Wade, Parkinson and Stone probably thin the space may be more profitably filled with something else.
