The latest departure from the re publican party in New York, is Maj. Pierce, a life long republican, and one of the best men to be mustered out of the services in 1865. He says he has not left the party but the party has left him. He is a strong man and will have a large following. —_——-——————— The Mills bill came to a vote in ‘the house on last Saturday and pass- ed that body by a majority of | Randall could not} control all of his followers, but while | he was too sick to appear in person, he sent a letter defining his position | as against the bill and asking to be! thirteen.

At | Butler the Morehouse men fused | with the Glover element and defeated ia straight Francis ticket, although the result shows that Francis had more votes than either of the other candidates. At Rich Hill a Francis | delegation was selected, as was the _case in Howard, Elkhart and Deep | Water townships. On the first bal- | lot Francis will have more votes than either of the other candidates, but ' not enough to secure the delegation. | When the convention meets on Au- | gust 11th, 1888, to select delegates to the State convention, it can be so ‘arranged that each candidate will se- curethe number of delegates merited | by hisrelative strength in the county, or two of the candidates can combine ‘against the rest and divide the dele- | gation. The latter alternative can | hardly be said to be fair, and would ‘not be expressing the choice of the | people of the county. For instance, jin the event of a combination be- ‘tween Glover and Morehouse, these | two gentlemen would secure the | entire delegation, though Francis is | stronger than either. Besides, the | people as a whole are not in favor of | combinations, chicanery and trickery practiced in thus manipulating their | representatives in convention. The | majority of the people in this county |are not for Morehouse, neither are \they for Glover; then how is the | matter to be settled? The leaders of the Morehouse campaign in | Butler are claiming the county by virtue of a combination with the Glover leaders, but just how far these gentlemen from the county can be | traded by a few manipulators here in Butler remains to be seen. There is | no doubt but that the trade has been made, the terms settled on, but now the question comes up, can the man- agers of the Glover campaign iu Butler deliver the goods? At the primaries of this township last Saturday instructions were given exclusively for Judge DeArmond, by electing a straight DeArmond dele- gation over one put up for harmony in the interest of both DeArmond and Parkinson. Judge DeArmond very frankly stated to his friends in the convention that ifa majority of the democrats were friendly to him he wanted the delegation unhamper- jed by instructions for any other candidate. On the other hand, if a majority were for Judge Parkinson, he had no disposition to be in his way. In a majority of the townships the same kind of instructions were given, and without doubt it is the expressed wish of the democracy of | the county, laying aside sentiment, to give Judge DeArmond such a delegation from this county as will go to the Springfield convention with only one object in view: that of se- | curing the nomination for supreme judge of the state for David A. De- | Armond, of Bates county. The Kansas City Times, that paper, it will be remembered, which by its silence assisted in defeating Judge John F. Philips for Congress after he i had received the democratic nomi- | nation, now assumes to speak for the democracy of Bates county. Bates |1s a big democratic county, as that | Paper truthfully says, and the good }demecrats wil! not brook outside | interference, and especially from a paper that is known to work for the | Party good just so long as it suits the personal interests of its managers. | The democracy of Bates county has , not repudiated Francis, as that paper | Says, but the vote shows that he is strongly in the hearts of the people, and delegations representing the honest yeomanry of the county will repudiate the assertions of that paper | that because Morehouse and Glover combined have a majority of the del- egates it necessarily the defeat of Francis. In other words, the Morehouse and Glover men must take the de organ, that no » represents the democ- racy of this section of the assures udvise of this out state than the Globe-Demoerat or Kansas Journal, and ost cise over one-third demoeratie voters of of the this county. There is no doubt a few o delegates to the convention August llth act on these suggestions and | instructions, and have already such | A Question Easily and Explicitly An- arrangements made, but it remains to be seen if the goods can be de- livered. ———————— It has always been customary when a man elected toa two years’ office has faithfully discharged the duties imposed upon him, to endorse his official acts by a renomi- nation. Oscar Reeder, present county treasurer, this week asks through our announcement columns an indorse, ment of his official acts. Mr. Reeder has made a faithful and efficient officer, always at his post of duty, kind, courteous and accommodating. He has made a friend of every man who has had business relations with him. His records are systematically, neatly and correctly kept. If nomi- nated and elected he promises to conduct the duties of the office in the next two years as he has in the past. He would add strength tothe ticket, ‘and a party honors _ itself when it elects such men as Oscar Reeder to an office. The Chicago Tribune the leading republican newspaper of the west, says of Harrison, the republican nominee for president, that he is “unpopular at home and disliked abroad; not supported by any Ger- man newspaper, or recognized by any German leader in the United States; not numbering among his close friends one man who ever serv- ed with him in the senate of the United States; hated in California beoause he voted fourteen times against the restriction of Chinese im- migration; opposed in his own state because he is cold and distant in his m:.nner, and identified with every public act which has ever been adopted which could wound the sensibilities of voters not numbered among his own particular clique in the republican party; having astrong support among politicians, but little among the rank and tile of the par- ty.” That appears to size up the re- publican candidate about as accurate- ly as any democrat could do it. Chin Wah Foo, a Chinese tea Merchant of San Francisco, has con- tributed $50,000 to the republican campaign fund, and has obli- gated himself to raise $500,000 among the Chinese. He says the Chinamen are much better fixed financially than the Americans, and while not a large number are natural- ized, they have money and will give it freely to elect Harrison. He says there is a large floating vote of “Melican trash” in California which will be bought by Chinese Money to carry the state for the Chinaman’s very dear and valuable friend Lee Bung Harrison. Shaking hands with about 10,000 republicans a week for two or three weeks broke General Harrison down, and his managers have already found it necessary to treat him with the consideration due to an invalid. In the meanwhile, President Cleveland goes calmly on working for the peo- ple 19 to 20 hours a day, robust vigorous and hearty, quite capable of shaking 10,000 hands at night and going to work at the usual hour next morning. It is plain that Gen- eral Harrison is not physically strong enough to be president, and he should beware of his grandfather's fate—St. Louis Republic. St. John’s Kansas Convention.

By crying free trade, the republi- cans hoped to create a stampede, and , as in 1880, carry the election in a: panic. : } Instead, they find that the purposes | of the democratic party are embodied | in a earefully drawn bill, a bill which democrats are able and willing to} defend; a bill such as Grant andj} Garfield and Arthur urged Congress | to pass, and which can be understood | even by men little informed concern- \ i ing public affairs. | The republicans have no bill, but | they have a platform, drawn to an-| tagonize the democratic measure on every issue. That platform discards the idea of taxation for revenue, and demands such a rate as will destroy revenue and check imports. Instead of lowering the tariff and removing its irregularities and in- equalities, they propose to advance taxation, and preserve every protect-| ive feature by giving the people free whisky. i On these issues, thus presented,the democrats have opened their canvass. The Mills bill is discussed, explained and dissected, its purpose is clearly declared, and the orators show at what points and to what extent it is repugnant to the republican plat- form. | The democrats favor a tariff aver-| It you want the best aging 40 per cent. | The repubjicans demand _ probibi- tory duties.

Knoxville, Tenn., July 18.—News of a horrible murder comes from Mooresburg, Hawkins county Two young men named Bird, brothers, were at the house of a man named Woods, on a visit to some girls. One of these men, it seems, wa: drinking considerably, and, becoming angered at Woods, drew a pistol and fired at him, but missed. A man named Orrick, who was also in the house, attempted to stop Bird, and he also was shot at, but succeeded in quieting Bird to some extent, and took him out of the house and to his brother, who was sitting in the yard a short distance away. Bird asked his brother what he thought of the difficulty. His brother answered that he was to blame and had gotten himself intoa bad fix by shooting. The Bird who did the shooting told his brother helied, and that he would kill him, and, drawing his pistol, he fired.
