The democrats of Cass county are hereby called to meet in delegate con vention at Union, on Thursday Sep tember 13, 1S94, at 11 o'clock a. ni. for the purpose of selecting twenty dele gates to the Btate convention Wednes day September 2(5, 1S94, and to select delegates to attend the congressional convention to be held at Tecumseh September 20, 181)4, and to select delegates to attend the lloat conveutiun not yet called the convention to lix the number of delegates, and to place iu nomination one candidate for seua tor, two candidates for representa tives, one candidate for county attor ney, one candidate for county commis sioner for first commissioRers district, and to transact such other business as may properly come before said con vention.

O. A. MILLER, Chairman; P. C. Hansen, Sect'y. Democrats, don't forget the pri maries Saturday evening next. Every voter at tbe coming election should express his choice for U. S. senator. Free and unrestricted coinage of both gold and silver, at 16 to 1, should be the rallying cry in the coming cam paign by every one who works with his hands. The democratic convention for Cass county, which is called for Sept. 12 (Wednesday of next week), should be a rouser. Every democrat in tbe county ought to be represented, through the primaries, in itsdelegates. Genuine tariff reform is not "tinkering"' with the tariff. To at tempt to give special privileges to favor itesas the senate syndicate has done is "tinkering'' in the worst sense. The country demands a complete over throw of the ' tinkers," and the estab lishment of a tariff for revenue. Organized labor has begun an effort to secure the impeachment of Attorney General Olney tor the part he took in the manipulation of the law to over come the recent strike In Chicago, and TriE Journal is free to express the hope that its fight will be won. An official whose highest aim is to over throw liberty is unfit to hold any office. Wk take it that every man who does not live on a salary which is not re duceable is by interest in favor of an im mediate return to bimetallism, and men, as a rule, favor that which is to their interest. Bimetallism is the only thing within reach that will bring per manent prosperity to thi3 country, and the soonet the people find this out and act upon it the quicker they will appre ciate its benefit. Congressman Bryan Saturday took charge of the Omaha World-Herald. The first day's columns bristle all over with editorials from his trenchant pen, and indicate that on the tripod be has qualities as a writer equal in force and analytic power to the efforts which have made him famous on the rostrum, on the stump and in the hall of the house of representatives. The Jour nal predicts for his new venture com plete success. Osz of the bills passed at tbe late session of congress was of especial in terest and beneGt to pensioners. It pro vides that hereafter all fourth-class postmasters are"empowerea,aumonzea and required" to administer all oaths required to be made by pensioners and their witnesses in the execution of vouchers for getting their pensions, etc and are allowed to charge 25cents for each voucher. The new law will add some to the emoluments of the village postmaster, as well as the con venience of the veterans. irytrPs'vLjitat'ABhTaDd Don't buy a biayele until you see U9. ... m . !n J.'ah) 9X la narfa tnlv MB. MORTON WOCLD BE A SENATOR. The latest and most precious bit of news that comes from Washington is to tbe effect that Secretary Morton has decided to enter the race for U. S. Senator at the coming sessioH of the legislature. A dispatch to the St. Louis Republic from "Washington, states that Mr. Morton thinks the democrats will control the legislature this winter, and, as be can serve in the cabinet until March 4th next and will have a six year term if elected to the senate and only two years more as a member of the cabinet, he prefers to go to the senate when he can. The name of Fred L. Fraucis, an employe of the weather bureau, is given as one of the promoters of Mr. Morton's scheme, and thinks it very feasible. With Mr. Morton in the field for senator it will be interesting to note the result on the democratic primaries in the couuties yet to hold them whether the people will favor Morton or Bryan delegations. It strikes us that Mr. Morton is going into the field at rather a late date in view of the an nouncement made some months ago by Mr. Bryan; but perhaps he thinks it llieotilj means al hand of preventing a nomination of liryan by the state convention. Tnu Journal does not believe that Mr. Morton will find much encourage ment iu his race. He will find that the s'ngle gold standard, which he advo cates, is no more popular than it was in 1SD2, when his vote for governor was nearly 7,000 less in the first district than was that for Mr. Bryan. Let the fight go on. The populists of the state seem to be largely infected with the "middle of the road" virus, and seem more anx ious to have their candidates pose as tartizans than to seek to succeed by moderation or non-partizan combina tion. There is a secret behind all this that is important in its bearing, and it is well for genuine reformers in that party to study it. It is a singular fact, as far as we have been able to observe, that talk of that sort all orginates and is carried on by men in the populist party who were originally republicans and are still infected with the virus of protectionism. The man Taubeneck, who is at the head of the populist na tional committee, is more fearful that protectionism will be injured by a union of the elements who are in sub stantial accord than he is that tbe populist party will be hurt by it. He it was who promoted the nomination of J. M. Devine in the third Nebraska district, and the design is to prevent a combination to defeat Meiklejohn. Populists should open their eyes to this condition of things. Iowa citizens are about to erect a monument to the honor of its soldiery, and, singular to say, there are some of its living soldiers who are vying with each other for the honor of having their names or faces emblazoned on its sides. It strikes us that there are quite enough who heroically fell fighting for the defense of the Union and the honor of the state without embracing the questionable taste of attempting to honor any living man. Of all men whom Iowa should delight to honor, it appears to us, William II. Kinsman, of the 23d infantry, stands at the head of the list and yet, we learn, that his name has not even been suggested. It is a shame that personal ambition should be allowed to overreach the de mands of a high sense of patriotic duty in a matter which is intended as an inspiration for the future sons of the state. The writer feels that he has some right to be heard on this sub ject, having served four years in an Iowa regiment and done something toward maintaining its honor on the field of battle. The Uuited States senate needs re forming, by the insertion of new blood into its composition. The fathers of the republic, when they framed the constitution came near adopting the plan of allowing the states to recall their senators and send a new senator in his place. They had no idea that a senator would ever be elected for more than one term. If the senate were composed of young men, like Lodge of Massachusetts and Bryan of Nebras ka a rule for closing debate at the order of a majority would be passed in short order. "Senatorial courtesy" is a senatorial humbug that ought to be wiped out in a jiffy. The national democratic congres sional committee and Chairman Wm. L. "Wilson of the ways and means com mittee are working at cross purposes as to the tariff bill. This was to be ex pected, as the committee is under con trol of Senator Falkner, one of the senate "herrings," who belongs to the coal syndicate. Disaster may follow this year, but it will surely result in the purifying of the party from the corrupting influence of protectionism. Mr. Wilson is right, and should be sustained by the democracy of the country, and thoBe senators who have Constipation and sick manently cured, and piles prevented hv JaDanese Liver Pellets; especially been "ploughing with the heifer" of protection must be driven from public lire or into the republican party where they belong. The apostles of Jesus had their Iscarriot, the American revolution had its Arnold, and the democrats in their efforts to secure genuine tariff reform now have their senatorial coterieof traitors to the cause but that will not prevent the movement for freeing America from the thraldom of New England protectionism from marching onward to ultimate triumph ant adoption. Partially freed from its curse the people will only have an ap petite whetted for future conquest, un til the whole system of at favoritism and privilege is wiped out of existence. The protectionists are in a bad box as to the new tariff law. They are badly put out because of its passage, because it breaks down some of the strongholds of the system, and they are so glad because it is no worse that they dare not abuse the bill. So they go at it in patches, they curse free cottonties and a few articles of southern use, and declare it to be sectional on that ground. Let them go on. The bill is only an entering wedge which, when it gets in its work, will leave the whole crowd without a hook to hang a hope on. The Nebraska City Press is very anxious that a full state ticket shall bo nominated by the democrats, and predicts the ruin of the party unless this course is taken. It is not so anxious for the opposition to republi canism to get together as was Mr. Morton four years ago. The fact is that with the democrats and populists each having a full ticket up will re sult in the continuance of the republi cans in power, as the News probably knows. We believe it to be more im portant to beat the republicans than anything else. The democrats of Cass county want to make sure to express their senti ments on thecurrency question at their convention next Wednesday. It would be in bad taste and cowardly for them to evade the question. Let it be a square declaration either for a gold standard or for bimetallism at 1G to 1 "without asking the aid or advice of any other nation on earth." Gold coinage alone, or immediate free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver. No dodging. "The protective tariff is highway robbery," says Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri, "under the protec tive system Ithode Island is the richest per capita state in the union; that country which God intended to be the poorest is the richest, and the Missis sippi and Missouri valley that caused Thomas B. Reed, when he saw it, to exclaim: 4My God, the soil is so rich if we had it in the east we would sell it by the peck for seed this country has, by comparison, been getting poorer.'" Of course the republicans will not follow Kosewater in their opposition to Tom Majors' election. The rank and file of that party follow their lead ers without question, and the leaders are all under the dominion of the rail waysat least they are indebted to them for favors, and they dare not op pose the railway politicians. It is a clear case of bargain and sale. Still the republican party prides itself on its patriotism. Hades is full of such patriotism. The recent investigation by the government commission of the late strike has left Carroll D. Wright, labor commissioner, in a most unenviable light. He has been riding for years on a Pullman palace car pass from George M. Pullman, and he refuses to give it up. It was noted during the hearings that his associates were much more anxious to get at the whole truth than he. How has the mighty fallen! The popular fad among all demo crats is to favor Wm. J. Bryan for senator, and on this score there is no opposition. With some people the matter of a platform is a non-essential affair; but with Mr. Bryan it is every thing. He would not accept a sena torship on a single gold standard platform if handed to him on a gold platter. Remember that. TnE ruin and loss of life wrought by the forest fires of Minnesota is some thing terrible to contemplate. As far as known 450 lives were lost belonging to the villages of Hinkley, Sandstone, Miller, Pokegama and various lumber camps. The details are simply horrible. Notwithstanding the hard times this country has one great thing to be thankful for: McKinleyism is dead and protectionism, has received a deadly blow. headache pe - Attorneys at To Can County l'opullt.
