From a party stand point the two most important officers to be voted for at the coming electiov are repre sentative in Congress and repre- sentative in the state legislature. One or all of the county of ces might be lost and the princi ples of tae democratic party be no great loser thereby, but those offices which carry the law making func- tions are of vital interest and must be preserved to the party. The republicans recognize this end ere bending every effort to cap ture these two offices. In Bates «county the principle fight of the re- publicans is being made for Clark Wix. They wiil trade any way or hew for a vote for Wix, well know- ing the importance ef this office. Lhe same may be said of Lewis. ‘We wish to especially caution the democrats against this danger. Don't trade. Vote your ticket straight. The full democratic ticket will be elected in Bates county and there is no need for any democrat to trade no matter how flattering the inducements. It would be a poor bargain, no matter what odds were given, to trade your representa- ive or congressman for a county of- fice. Vote the democratic ticket. A FEW OAMPAIGN THOUGHTS.- The election will take place Tues- day and we are glad of it. We have tried to make a manly «campaign for our party. The Tres has meant what it has vaaid and had we to go over the geound again would not change a period or coma. We, in common with other demo erats in the county, are anxious for ‘the euccess of the party and believe ‘that it is for the best interest of the weople, both county, state and na- tion to have the affairs of this gov- ernment managed by the democratic party. We therefore have a deep interest am tho result and in contributing our anite to this end we made the best fight we could. We have avoided a blackguard campaign like that waged by the Union, wherein personal character of candidates on the democratic ticket was assailed! We could have conducted such a «campaign if we had desired, as we ‘hed pleaty of material to work on. Wemocrats, particularly in the woutheastern part of this county, ikmow what we refer to, but we did not use the information furnished. We did not think it necessary or proper, as the populist ticket has no vebew and will be third in the race. The lies peddied by the Union inet certain men on the demo- cratic ticket will do those gentlemen ae barm and will not loose them a mingle vote. Oa the other hand, fair-mind- fechvas with the populist party for | This was undoubtedly the worst | cheaper. Money saved is money | i reasons they are unable to explain | class legislation ever enacted under | made have become disgusted with Atke son aud his cawpaign methods, and turnthe cold shoulder to the pop- \ulist ticket. What is to be gained by voting for a man like Donohoe, in prefer ence to Judge Ballard. against Judge DeAr- mond, aud so on through the list of | candidates. | There is but ove course for dem- ocrats and others desirous of seeing | the offices in this county, state and nation filled with competent men, to vote the democratic ticket, and ou | Francisco the premises. Vote the democratic ticket. MANY REASONS WHY. It was only the other day that an enthusiastic populist defied any body to point out “one thing the demo cratic party had ever done to entitle it to the suffrage of the people.” We could take him back a few years and show him that the vast area of fertile lands in the west, upon which millions of our mest thrifty and enterprising people are making their homes, known .as the Platte Purchase, was acquired under a democratic administration. We could point with pride to the millions of acres of unearned land grants torailroad corporations by re- publican congresses,which have been reclaimed to the actual settler through democratic wisdom and jus- tice. We could go back aud show him the most prosperous times , this country ever knew—when money was plenty and cheap, and the people happy under a democratic rule. But we are willing to forego a reference to the past glory and great achievements of the grand old dem oeratic party,aud base her claims for the continued suffrage of the people upon the achievements since it has been in power during the short one and one half years from March 1893. The democratic party has repealed the purchasing clause of the Sher man law, which compelled the pur- chase of $4,000,000 of silver bullion per month, to be stowed away in the treasury vault aod for which gold was taken out of the treasury and paid to the mine owners and bul'ion speculaters. The democratic party repealed that obnoxious and un-American law, which permitted federal interference with elections in the states. A law which was foreign to the principles upon which our government is feunded; which found its excuse for being in the turbulent times follow ing the war, andwhich was « stand- ing menace to life and liberty. The democratic party has enacted an income tax law which compels the wealth of the government to bear its proportionate part of the tax burdens, and which for years, under republican misrule, was allow- ed to go practically untaxed. The democratic party has increas- ed the tax on distilled spirits from 90 cents to $1.10 per gallon, thereby increasing the revenue $20,000,000 It has taxed playing cards about $3,000,009. Will any of our populist brethren question the wisdom and justice of such legislation’? The democratic party, through our own Dockery’s commission abol- ished over 600 sinecure offices at Washington, thereby making a sav- ing to the people of thousands of dollars. Is this nota pretty good reason why it is entitled to the suffrage of the people® The democratic party has given to the farmer lumber, agricultural implements, binding twine, etc , free of any import tax duty. And while it gives him free implements with which to labor, it does uot forget that he has to wear clothing, and it reduces the tax on woolen goods 75) per cent which will make a reduction in clothing of from 20 to 25 per cent. Is that not a pretty good reason why it should receive the vote of the farmers? The democratic party has repealed the law giving to the sugar planters of Leuisiana, a few beet growers in Nebraska and a few tree owners in Vermont $12,000,000 annually of the people's money, thereby foster- ing the great sugar trust, the mon- @2 demcerats who bave aljied them-| ster trust of the nineteenth century. \ next Tuesday it is anticipated they will turn out and do their duty in| jour form of government. | \entitled to the suffrage of the people. | It is true the democratic party ‘has not accomplished all it promised | the people. There is very much left |for it yet to do, but we claim that it | has performed wonders in the short ‘time it bas been in power and if continued therein it will eventually | solve the great problem of a just jand equitable taxation of all the | classes for the maintenance of a free jand independent government, eco- nomically administered. Vote the democratic ticket. BRING OUT EVERY VOTE. If every Democrat in Missouri does his plain duty next Tuesday there will be nothing but the shout ing to attend to afterward. This duty is to vote. There is just now a dispostion, especially in the rural districts of the State to regard the present campaign as already won. Perhaps it is. but the victory must be clinched by, a rousing majority on November 6 The election of the State ticket is assured, and of fourteen out of the fifteen Congressmen reasonably cer tain, but this is not the only duty that Missouri owes to the cratic party this year. Democracy, as uever before, is on trial. The great battle between the masses and classes has rested for a mome:t with the advantage on the side of the former. But the fight Demo must be renewed and fought to a deadly finish. Monopoly must be tbrotil:d and protectionism chained before the people can have peace. In this great work Missouri is ex pected not vuly to take her custom ary stand on the side of the people but to send up a glad note of triumph which will re echo through- out the land. It is necessary to get out every vote. Twenty five or thirty listless Ones in a township may not count much there, but the total for the State would be extremely large. Stamp out the apathy of an “off year,” and no more need be said. Missouri will go overwhelmingly Democratic There are other cansiderations in favor of a large vote next week. The contest for State officers and dele gates to the national convention in 1896 will be probably the most im portant in the history of the State. Grave questions are coming up in which every Missourian is interest- ed. The counties which roll up the big votes this fall will be in a posi- tion to reap their reward when the conventions of two years hence are called. A hint to the wise is suffi- cient. The last week of the campaign is now under way. It is not so out- wardly exciting as the campaign of 1892, but there are forces at work which give it deep significance. The present week will demonstrate the extent to which Missouri indorses the record and achievements of the City Democratic party.—Kansas Times. PRACTIVAL TARIFF LESSON. Those enterprising merchants Lane & Adair are advertising a re- duction on all woolen goods of from 20 to 25 per cent., and do not hesi- tate to say that they are prompted todo this on account of the recent tariff legislation. A saving to the consumer of one fourth on woolen goods at the beginning of winter, when every family bas to have them, is bringing the tariff question to our door in a very practical manner. Peter Lane, one of the most suc- eessful drummers on the road, and a lifelong republican, said, in dis- cussing this question Sunday, that it was folly for any one to deny that the reduction of the tariffwas going to make all articles it touched cheaper. That to his knowledge it had already cheapened the lines he handled, from 25 te 30 per cent., and they would be further reduced. He said his house had instructed him to give, his customers advantage of such reductien at this time. And yet the populists won't discues the tariff| he has been publishing. because it is “worn out and bas lost it’s interest to the people.” A man’s interests are very soon revived when he can buy his goods one-fourth One of our largest hardware men These and many more things we said that farmiog implements of all! ~ many of them, when they enter the | could point to with pride, why the} kinds had been materially reduced | | Secret precinct of the booth will | democratic party is deserving and |as a direct effect of the tariff legisla-! | tion, and this gentleman further \said “I am glad the farmer is getting | | the benefit, I wish all the tariff could | ibe taken off of every article we! | handle, but it should be done grad- | | ually, 80 as not to cause too great a) ‘loss to the merchant.

The Populist doctrine is against alien ownership. The prophesies of the Populists are being realized within our own borders.

The Union don’t heaitate to cause a wrong impression to act over Bates county if by so doing a temporary advantage will revert to the Popu lists, especially just on the eve of| the election when they need votes so bad. The above clipping from that paper intends to convey the idea that some foreign “lord” was buying up the whole country, that the populist party was against it but the other parties were not. Now what are the simple facts? Mrs. E. A. Scully, who lives in Lo gan county, Illinois, in which county she was born and raised, is a widow with two children. Her husband was an Englishman. He had an in- terest in an estate in England which descends to his wife and children. Mrs. Scully is buying some land with the money The deeds are all to her. The Times would greatly prefer seeing all the lands in Bates county owned by small farm ers in preference to any one person owning large tracts. In the language of a well known wise man we would say to the Union “Tell the Truth.” Vote the democratic tieket. made A pRoMINENT populist at Butler while talking with S. P. Francisco— the well known “Sim” and a brother of “our boy,” Eon. A B. Francisco— asked, “Sim, are John and you going to vote for Albert for congressman?” “Yes, sir, we are—we'll vote for him though the heavens fall,” he replied. Good for them! This will set at rest some of the numerous steries being peddled by democrats to the effect that none of Hon. A. B. Francisco's relatives or immediate friends would vote for him. He will get many a vote now counted for DeArmond and Lewis.—Bates County Populist. Mr. Francisco informs us that he intends to vote for his brother, but that he doesn’t intend to support the balance of the populist ticket, as the above named paper is trying to make its readers believe. Vote the democratic ticket. ae We hope on next Tuesday no democrat in the county will so far forget the obligations he owes his party as to vote against its nomi-! nee for representative. We have in- formation from more than one town- ship that republicans are offering to trade on this office, some parties have | | gone so far as to offer to vote for two lor more democrats for ene vote for Wix. Don't trade nor be traded, vote your ticket straight. Bates county should not be misrepresented by the unfaithfulness of democrats.

Minn., Oct. 26.—The Supreme Court of Minuesota to day | rendered a decision of decided inter- | est to bicyclists all over the country. A few months ago, N. A. Thomp- son was driving along a Minnesota county road and met W. M. Dodge | on a bicycle. Thomyson’s horse saw | the bicycle, ran away, smashed the buggy to splinters and injured Mr. Thompson. for heavy damages, but the Supreme Court decided in favor of the bicy clist. Judge Buck says in his decision | “Bicycles sre vehicles used very extensiyely for convenience, recrea tion, pleasure and busivees, aud the riding of them upon the public highway in the ordinary manner, as is now done, is neither unlawful nor prohibited, and they cannot be ban ished because they are not ancient vehicles and were not used in the Garden of Eden by Adam and Eve.” Vote the democratic ticket.

The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the ate of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, ahh of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax- ative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers Saal permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- seys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ening them and it is perfectly tree from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug- gists in ec and $1 bottles, but it is man- ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every kage, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.
