Last jear the vote in Kansas was

Ln speaking of the bargains and sale of
the democratic part', Colonel Tomlinson,
late editor of the Topeka Democrat, said :
"Well,the iniquity has been consummated ;
what I feared and predicted months ago
has come to pass; the last shameful chap
ter in the history of Kansas democracy
has been written; the humiliation and
degradation of tho democratic party of
Kansas is at last complete."
An extensively advertised independent
ratification meeting at Sidney a week ago
resulted in the assembling of twenty-five
or thirty members of that party; the re
maisder of the audience being democrats
and republicans whoJvere attracted to the
meeting through curiosity. Van Wyck
was advertised to speak but die failed to
put in an appearance and his place was
supplied by L. C. Stockton, formerly or
this city.
Republicans withiu the alliance will
note tho fact that the independent party
In Kansas has been made a cat's paw for
the democrats by the latter endorsing the
electors nominated by the former. Of
coarse the independents cannot carry a
sufficient number of stales to elect their
Boniaee, but if the democrats can assist
them in carrying republican states it
throws the election into the house and
elects Cleveland. The song the democrats
are staging is "anything to down the re
publicans."

bury. In the State Journal's "Points in Poli
tics" we find the folio wing: "Among the
gentlemen talked of by the Lincoln coun
ty republicans for legislative honors is
Martin Van Brocklin of Elizabeth. Jlr.
Ya Brocklin is a farmer, a civil engineer
and is highly educated. He held a re
sponsible position on the New York
elevated railroad during its construction
and spent several years in Australia in the
practice of engineering. He is greatly
interested in the subject of irrigation for
western Nebraska and discusses the sub
ject from the standpoint of practical
.knowledge derived from thorough inves
tigation and extended observation. Should
fee b9 selected to represent the people of
kis -district he would serve them ably and
faithfully,"
The sage of the York Times says: "It
makes the independent politicians 'wild
with delight when a farmer puts a mort
gage on his land. They, make a hundred
mortgages. out of one, and -say the fwhole
township has been plastered. The fact
is there are more farmers who are com-
fortably well off than any other class of
people, and Ave are glad of it. The time
never was when everybody was. indepen
dently rich, and never will be,'it there
never was a time when men of all in
dustrial pursuits had so much property
and such good returns for their labor,"

Tnc republican county convention
called to meet Jlondaj, August 1st, and it
is recommended that the primaries be
held the Saturdayf .previous. The busi
ness to come before the convention
mainly the selection of delegates to the
state, congressional, senatorial and repre
sentative conventions, but it is important
that each precinct in the county be'repre
sented and assist iu selecting delegates
who will vote in tho several conventions
for men who will best represent tho
terests of the1, people. The Tribune is
not inclined to take a pessimistic view of
the situation in Nebraska, but it realizes,
as do all republicans, that unless the party
nominate thoroughly competent and poli-
tically clean candidates it will at least be
an uphill fight. The republican farmers
should therefore attend the primaries and
send men to the county convention to
help elect delegates to the state and dis
tricts conventions who will vote for such
candidates as, in their opinion, will best
represent tho interests of not only the
farmer but laborer, mechanic and mer
chant as well. The date of the primaries
and convention may prove a busy time
for the farmer, but every good republican
should bo willing to devote a day or two
to the interests of the party. Therefore
let there bo a full attendance at the pri
maries as well as at the convention.
The Omaha World-Herald attempts to
lighten the democratic-independent-peo
pie's gloom by rehashing tho election
returns of 1890. But this isn't 1830. It
isn't even 1891, when the republicans
threshed the combination on the judicia
ticket Handsomely, and upset in severa
congressional districts the calamity ma
jorities against them of the year before,

BASE BALL AT HERSHEY.

the national game on Sunday last. On
tho start the game promised to be very
hot, but it was soon evident that the
kids were "quered" in their fino playing
by the rather outragous decisions ofjjtho
umpire, and it soon became evident that
they had no more show than a rabbitt as
far as the scoro was concerned. How
ever the boys finished up in good humor,
considering they were whito-washed
three times and the Hershey nine three
times." 'The kids say, hpwpver, that

game, doesn't know enough to stand
behind the bat for a nine of blind females.
The score was 15 to 9 in favor of Her
shoy. Before their departure the kids
gave them a kind and hearty invitation
to come and play with them on the ir
grounds, but they appeared to be afraid
of them. Consequently they would not
accept tho invitation. The challenge is
still open for froni ten to fifty dollars
which can be accepted at any um
