ED Both the Record and Republican Preas find fault with THe Times for advocating a straight Democratic ticket in the city election. Well, we would feel like we had been derelict in our duty to the Democratic party it we had mot the commendation of ether or both those papers. About the only serious kick we have beard outside thoze fadteal sheets, comes trom Republican leaders, who wouldn’s give Democrats a pleasant look {f they were in power. Butler is and hae for a long time been a Dem- ocratic city and about the most ee- rious opposition we ever have come from these 60 called “citizen” tickets, which appear to have a great fascl- nation for weak kneed Democrate.

WALKER--McKIBBEN’S | nnmnsnmenenasitiiieaamaiiiaiaineiat ET TT ee BRYAN CLUB. A notice was sens ous Saturday! {nvising and urging all the Demo-: crass of Butler and Ms. Pleasant sorenship to mees at the cour’ room thas evening to organize & Bryan club. (Quite’ a sprinkling of enshu- silastic Democrats responded, full of party patriotism, some of them load- ed with Bryan oratory ready to be discharged at the first opentng offer ed. G. B. Hickman sook the chatr, called the meeting to order and ordered D. G. Newsom, secretary, to read the minutes of she preceding meeting. What was the surprise and consternation of a great major- {sy of Democrats present to learn trom the reading of the minutes that a Bryan club had already been or- ganized several weeks before, with the following officers: G. B. Hick- man, President; J. M. Pasty, Vice- President; D. G. Newsom, Secretary; H. H. Wells, Treasurer. Solicitors had been appointed to secure signa- sures to the Bryan pledge, and they reported something like 120 names, all of whom were solemnly accepted as duly enrolled members. The boys with the pent up oratory let loose’ some of {t, bust they were clearly at a disadvantage, by the coup that had been run in on them, Tue Times man Is for Bryan, in sea- son and out, and has been |since 1896, when charges were preferred against him with the Cleveland ad- ministration for betng too enthu- slasticfor Mr. Bryan. We arefanx- ious for a Bryan-Democratie organ- ization and believe {t should be a potent factor in the next campaign, both in the nomination and election ot Mr. Bryan and the whole Demo- cratic ticket. We belleve that every Democrat in the clty and township should have been given an opportu- nity to participate in the organiza- tion of such a club.{§ However, these enthusiastic Bryan followers shave already organized and all Democrats should join and make the club a success. The next meeting will be held Friday night to adopt o conati- tution. Every Damocrat Is urged to but as we are Interested only as with watching the fur fly. —— The Boys Corn Contest. township, county and state. ready. Baker, Butler, last year.

Poor Farm Wrangle. Mr Epiror:—Having ‘seen, in 4} late issue of your valuable paper, an article or communication in regard to the poor farm, which tried to put the grand jury in a hole, and think- ing it best that the people of Bates county. should hear both sides of the question, prompts us to write thie: The foreman of the grand jury ap- pointed a committee composed of men whose trutbfulness can not be doubted. They were under oath, | and the report they brought in was the absolute truth. They fouud the meat piled ou a table or platform. With the quality of the pork they found no fault; but, on top of the pork was about fifteen or twenty pounds of absolutely rot- ten beef, and, on one end of the table or platform, about a quarter of beef of the same quality. Now, the members of this commit- tee did not say this spoiled meat was there the day before or the day after, | but it was there the day they visited the poor farm, and the premises were in the condition they reported. We understand that the county court and quite a number of estima- ble people were invited to inspect the poor farm after the _— jury had made its report, and they report that they found the county poor farm in apple-pie order; but, as every one knows, the epring of the year {s house-cleaning time, an d—things may have looked better. A queen might have enjoyed the fare at the time these Invited guests were entertained at the farm, but if she had been present when the grand jury committee inspected the smoke- ouse, she certainly would haveturn- ed up her nose, unless she had been & queen of the Cannibal Islands. The members of the grand jury coumittee have no quarrel with Mr. Bright, whom they understand is an industrious man and a good farmer, and are only sorry that they had to report what they saw. ates county is too rich a county and holds her head too high to keep her poor in such circumstances: It seems that Uncle Jimmie Older {s about the only one whose report coincides with the grand jury’s re- port; but, then, neither he nor they were invited guests.
