To My Uncle, William Baker. Wednesday, Sept. 23, 1894. Dear Uncle: We all hustled aboard aud just as we were nearing the current of the stream Democratic Platform, The Democratic party of Kansas in convention assembled declares its abiding faith iu the eternal principles of Democracy among which are: strict construction of public powers to the end that the government may not be subverted and liberty menaced by constant assumption of unauthorized powers by public functionaries. Local set government the largest personal liberty consistent with the protection of rights, unyielding hostility to all forms of centralization, constant distrust of power, rigid economy in public affairs.

We endorse the wise and patriotic action of President Cleveland, aud the efforts of all true Democrats in executive and legislative stations in all that they special campaign rate of 92.00 for the daily aud Sunday paper, and 30 cents for THE TWICE-A-WEEK TIMK until January 1. While THE TIMES is an earnest and fearless supporter of Democratic principles, it is, and always has been, liberal enough to open its col the thanks of all deserving soldiers fer his efforts to make a deserved pension a badgeof honor. We favor the improvement of pablie roads, and the passage of reasonable laws necessary to accomplish such result. We demand the repeal of all laws authorizing the issue of bonds for any purpose other than public buildings and free bridges upon public, roads. Owing to the vastly changed condition of our people since the adoption ef our state constitution, we are in favor of a constitutional convention, to the end that many evil ways may be abolished and many wants provided fer.

We glided beautifully up the shining river until Gieskey made a motion and shouted to those on the bank; "Be gates zwi beer. Farewell. 1 forgives you all," and Moy-er said, "so do I gazed long and wonderlngly at the crowd on the bank and pittied the poor, office seeking men, especially the case ot Fleming, whose experience reminded me of the character in the holy writ: I was lead as a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb dumb before his shearer opened he not his mouth," or words to that effect.

Yes, I stood there In all my msjesly as one spell bound, guitig upon the fair locks and cheeks of those we had left behind, and as I said before, thought long and loud of the uncertainties and frailties of poor, office bunted misguided men.

Our bark flew lightly aud smoothly before the gentle breeze until finally the captain shouted: Johnnie get your gun!" Then all looked for Price but he, too, had been left on the bank. Then Gieske came up to the cook's table and mistaking It for Jake's bar called out, "zwi beer."
