Notice is hereby given that there will be a meeting of the Bates coun- ty democratic central committee in Butler on August 6, 1890, at 10 o'clock, p. m. for the purpose of completing unfinished buisness connected with the county democratic primary, to be held on August 30, 1890, and to attend to any other business that may come before the committee at that time. All mem bers of the committee are urgently requested to be present. W: H. Mgap D. R. Brapen, Secretary, Chairman. NOT HARMONIOUS. From reports all was not harmony and peaceful sailing at the F.& L. WU. picnic at Lone Oak last Thurs- day. In fact it looked squally for awhile, and some of the more timed were afraid that grim visaged war would not smooth his wrinkled front. It seems that the trouble was brought about by the confound- ing of names. The bills advertised a Farmers and Laborers Union pic- nic, but the managers claimed it to be a Union Labor gather- ing. It seems that State Lecturer Hall made an appointment and pub- lished it in the F. & L. U. state or- gan, the Journal of Agriculture, to speak at Butler on that day. Either by design or accident some of the U. L. leaders, who are also well up in the F. & L. U. order, got up this picnic on the same date. Editor Corroll wrote State Lecturer Hall a letter asking him to change his date from Butler and come to their pic- nic. Mr. Hall accepted his invita- tion in good faith, and when he reached the grounds the crowd was being harangued by one Utley, a U. L. speaker from Kansas. Mr. Utley gave way to Mr. Hall, who proceed- ed to explain the object,and work- ings of his order. When consider- ing the views on the tariff sustained by the F. & L. U. constitution, con- siderable uneasiness was manifest, but when he reached the point de- claring positively against the run- ning an F. & L. U. political ticket, then there was an open rupture- The managers claimed that it was a Union Labor picnic and Mr. Hall was infringing on their rights and taking their time, while he claimed he had been invited to address an F. & L. U. gathering, and as that was the name advertised on the bills the had decidedly the best of the argument. We have it from reliable authority that the treatment given the state lecturer of the F. & L. U. by those Union Labor fellows was shameful anda slap in the face to the order he represented. In fact, it was treatment that no gathering should give a gentleman of Mr.Hall’s sability and standing. We under- stand that the U. L. speaker from Kansas reflected severely upon the state officers of the F.& L. U., the state paper, the Journal of Agricul- ture, and even assailed the Spring- field platform, all of which was rel- ished by the U. L. fellows, even to the president of the county F.& L. U., Mr. Pierce Hackett, and Capt Donohoe, another prominent mem- der. a Chauncey I Filley, chairman of the republican state committee, said sat the meeting of the committee in St. Louis: “Anybody who thinks we can carry this state this time is an idiot.” At the same time Mr. Filley has his strikers in recy. dem- Ocratic county in the state working up dissatisfaction among democrats and organizing third party move- ments. As to whether the democrats can be duped by Mr. Filley and his cobarts remains to be seen. In our announcemest column can BUTLER WEEKLY TIMES J. L. Welch is a prominent candi- be found the name of Calvin F./ date for Recorder before the demo- Boxley as candidate for the nomina-| tion to the office he has so well and ably filled the past two years. Judge Boxley has made a prosecutor second to uone who ever filled this office. He has prosecuted criminals fearlessly, ably and impartially, knowing neither friend nor foe in the discharge of his duties. He is a lawyer of fine legal attainments and a gentleman popular and accom- modating, well liked by all who know him. He made certain pledges to the party which elected him, which pledges he has sacredly kept, and now he asks an endorsement of his course, which we believe the party is willing to give him without a dissenting voice. The farmers alliance of Minneso- ta, in convention assembled in St. Paul, last week, adopted the follow- ing declaration of principles: De- mands that war taxes be reduced; denounces the McKinley bill as “the crowning infamy of protection;” de- mands government control of rail- roads that discrimination may cease, reasonable rates be established, watered stock denied, the reward of honest capital and the pooling of rates absolutely prohibited; as pro- ducers, demand free and open mar- kets for grain and proper facilities for transportation therefor; believes the Minnesota railroad commission -|should be governed by the Iowa schedule of rates; holds that mort- gage indebtedness should be deduct- ed from the tan on realty; demands lower interest and severe penalties for usury; desires an increase in the volume of money and demands the free coinage of silver, opposes state and municipal givingaway of :valua- ble franchises; favors improvements of the great waterways; asks the Australian ballot system for the whole state; he holds that United States senators and railroad com- missioners should be elected by bal- lot; demands the prohibition of child labor; favors arbitration to settle labor troubles. and equal pay for equal work, irrespective of sex. The New York Tribune has called a halt on the pension boomers with this declaration: ‘A voting popula tion of twelve million will not long consent to pay more than half the entire revenue of the government to a twentieth of their number. Furth- er appropriations for pensions can- not be asked without imperiling the continuance of all grants for that obe ject.” The friends of all unlimited penions in Kansas will take notice that this sensible position is taken, not by democratic or “rebel” news- papers and sympathizers, but by the chief organ of the republican party. In an address before the National Butchers’ Protective Association Mr- S. D. McCormick,of St. Louis,makes the prediction that Vest will not be returned to the senate from this state. He says the “beef combine” will defeat him even if it is necessa- ry to put enough money into Mis souri toelect a republican legislature. We do not believe Mr. McCormack correctly estimates the people of Missouri; they are not for sale and the “Big Four” have not enough money to buy the state. Plumb has startled the high pro- tectionists by declaring that $5 a tonis enough protection on steel rails and by championing propor- tionate reductions all through the other schedules of the tariff bill Pending in the senate. He has an- nounced his determination to make an open fight on the proposition to tax the people in the interest of mo- nopolies, and if he doesn’t allow his courage to eoze out at the eleyenth hour he will be the most popular man in Kansas.—Kansas City Star. Protection’s Favoritos. We all know perfectly well that there are industries in this country in which the dividends have become enormous. I can name upon my ten fingers men whose combined profits in the last decade have exceeded those of all the agriculturists of any state in the Union. Ifthe time has come when my countrymen, with equal opportunity cannot hold their own, being the most brilliant, the most preeressive. the finest people in the world. then we had better retire from the field. —Froma speech by Congre: Butterworth. (Republican.) —— cratic primaries,as will be seen by our announcement columns. Mr. Welch is one of our best citizens, a clev- er man and staunch democrat. He has been a resident of; Missouri for many years, and of Bates county since the war. He cast his first vote for Douglass for president and has never weakened in the faith, rallying always to the tocksin sound of true Jeffersonian principles. We have known Mr. Welch personally ever since Rich Hill was started and can vouch for his merits as a true party | worker. He kindly asks ycu to con- sider his claims and give him a fair chance at the primaries. Mr. Welch will see you personally and present his claims.
