A Democratic Wmt.
It is surprising how many people
have turced democrats this je-ar. Go
out in the country, amorg the men
who go into partnership will: nature
on the farm, and you can find numbers
of men who are this year favoring
democratic principles and the demo
cratic ticket. "We don't like to vote
a ticket which is made up as a result
of barter and trade," said one life-long
republican to the writer, recently.
1 We had rather vote for men who were
nominated on their merit, even if they
are labled 'democrat.' Whv, I find
that nearly all the republican ticket
was made up by bargain and sale the
plan of 'you vote for my man and we'll
vote for yours' principle, and thus the
question of merit or fitness was lost
sight of. It was thus that a splendid
man, "Brick" Swearengen, was turned
with J. M. L'atterson in the chair, the
balloting was taken up again each del
egate casting his ballot in a hat on a
call of the roll. Five ballots were
thus taken. Then an Otoe delegate
moved that a recess be taken.
It was done, and the two dele
gations went into private caucus. In
two minutes the Cass delegation made
up its mind to "stick." The Otoe men
caucused for a half hour, and then re
turned with smiling faces, as if they
had solved the problem.
' Then the roll was called and the bal
lots deposited in the hat, as usual, and
when they came to be counted out,
EVERY VOTE was found to have
been cast for 11. S. Ramsey. Then, on
motion of Matthew Gering, a rising
vote was taken and Mr. Ramsey was
declared the unanimous nominee of
the convention for district judge.
Hon. D. T. Ilayden was then called
out and made a brief address which in
creased the respect of every delegate
for him as a man and citizen. In sub
stance he said, after thanking his
friends for their loyalty to him, he con
gratulated the convention on the har
mony and unanimity displayed, be
cause it augured success at the polls.
He had been in Cass county recently,
and had never been so handsomelj

sible. The singular part of the situa
tion is that men of business who are
struggling to keep their heads above
the financial waves are so slow to see
and accept the truth, and to put them
selves in line with the demand for a
reform in the currency. It is inordi
nate usury and contraction of the cir
culating medium, made possible by the
single gold-standard, that is eating the
life out of business in this country.
The long list of recent failures in busi
ness within the personal recollection
of the readers of this paragraph are
but wrecks cast up on the shore of gold
standard financiering. Whocannotsee
