Implements of every make and description at the lowest prices and on the most favor It is just too mean for any use that the Democrats have "done gone" and taken steps toward perfecting the organization of the party iu this county, because such a course displeases the Republicans. Hear this little squawk from the Xickerson Argosy: "A few of the Democratic bosses of Hutchinson recently met and appointei what they termed a 'Democratic Central Like the previous movements of these would-be leaders they have 'cut and dried' everything and now order the 'unwashed' to step into line and do their bidding." Of course this is a characteristic Democratic blunder. Somehow the Democratic party has fallen into the execrable habit of doing just those things that are most displeasing to our Republican brethren.

Such blunders follow each the other so fast that the ring-masters of the g. o. p. have time do nothing but kick. It is perhaps too late to mend the matter now, but Hro.

Brown and his party kickers can rest assured that next time we will consult their wishes in all such affairs. Upon reflection, we do not wonder that our Republican brothers kick. The Democratic central committee is composed of representative farmers honest men to whom the dark ways of professional politicians and tricksters are unknown and obnoxious. The sight of such a gallant array of sterling manhood and undisputed honesty, is, without doubt, a great stench in Re publican eyes eyes accustomed to looking only upon rottenness, rascality, machine politics and corruption. Dick "Walker's Paper.

It is not generally known that there an alle ged newspaper published at Kingman, called the llepubUma. It is likewise unknown to the general public that Dick Walker, register of the U. laud oliice at Wichita, owns the paper. This sheet has been a bonanza for Richard, in that it has published all the government proof notices. Making this a specialty, Richard find all the editorial ability he needs in a young typographical tourist from Arkansaw, named J.

Malcolm Johnston. Mr. Walker is under many obligations to Honorable T. Ryan for favors manifested in the past, and any allusion to Thomas catches his immediate attention. Richard has hitherto depended upon Thomas for his tenure of office.

the same manner doth the Arkansaw gentleman, Mr. Johnsting, depend upon Richard for his sustenance. All this is preliminary to the dreadful news that the llipublicun is frothing the mouth, figuratively speaking, because we recently made some home allusions to Mr. Ryan. According Richaid and his hired mail, Mr.

Johnsting, The De3iockat is a liar and a bass. Perhaps so; perhaps so. We won't dispute the point at any rate. We haven't it in our heart to blame Mr. Walker for flying to the rescue of his benefactor.

Neither feel we unkind toward Mr. Johnsting for crying aloud the wilderness and asking us to spare Mr. Ryan, it i nomas wishes for a certificate of Mr. Walker's loyalty and Mr Johnsling's fidelity, we shall be happy to furnish the same on short notice. Hut are not Mr.

Walker and his hired man rather behind the age? It strikes us that since the re-apportionment, Mr. Peters is the man to whom they should Bond the prejrnant liiiijre? of the knee. That thrift may follow fawning. PERSONAL GOSSIP. tig" Ben Wible is wrestling with the mumps.

T. Lane, informs us that under no circumstances ill be again be a candidate. Private business will so engross his attention the coming year that he will be positively unable to attend to the duties of the office. Several gentlemen have been suggested to us as his successor, any one of whom would merit the confidence of the public. Among them may be mentioned, as most prominently spoken of, J.

F. Blackburn, L. A. "Higger and A. K.

Rurrell. Against the latter two, we have not a word to say, and if either should be elected he would honor the city by his administration. Hut our choice and from what we can learn by interviews is the choice of representative citizens is John F. Hlackburn. now a member of the city council.

Mr. Hlackburn is one of our most successful business men, and one our largest tax-payers. We want a successful business man for mayor, because the affairs of the city should be conducted just as economicallly and by just as strict business princinles as govern the private affairs of a citizen. Mr. Hlackburn is a man cf unimpeachable integrity and enjoys, to their fullest extent, the confidence and esteem his fellow townsmen.

In every public enterprise of whatever nature, he is always found at the front. Hut it is use'ess to enumerate the many qualifications, which, according to his numerous friends, fit him for the high position. He is known to everybody, and that is one of his strongest recommendationsthere could be no speculation as to his course. A Stove Story. It is now little more than a year since Messrs.

Russell Kinkaid commenced business in the Wilcox block. South Main street. They made a specialty the tinning business at first, and in tended to pay most of their attention roofing. They put in a stock of stoves, also, but had no idea at the time that that branch of their business ould in so short a time reach the enormous proportions it has. Their roor- ng business grew amazingly, and in a few months they virtually had a monopoly of that business.

Incidentally leir stove trade grew apace, and last ill they noticed that customers in that line were multiplying daily. They accordingly made due efforts to meet le demands of the trade. Additions ere made to the stock constantly, and they had the satisfaction of seeingtheir business increase tenfold. Some weeks ago they laid in a bigger stock than ever, liiey literally hi led their capa cious rooms with stoves from one end the other. Stoves of all makes; stoves of all shapes: stoves of all sizes and prices ere piled on top of each other.

The bill an enormous one. nd as they had the money on hand hen the statement came, they dis counted the whole bill, thereby saving large sum. In consequence of this, ley are now able to sell stoves at a low price than any other house in Kan- is. Xot only do they discount the.r bills, but they buy in larger lots than any other bouse. It is therefore not sui prising that they are constatly busy supplying the demand for stoves.

People soon find where the can buy the cheapest. Mayor's Proclamation. Whereas, In all ages it has been the chief aim of man to beautify his home, and, Whereas, Soring, with the time for planting shade trees, has come, and, Whereas, lie that plants shade trees does much for the beautv and comfort of the future: Xow, in conformity with the customs our state and citv heretofore in ogue, J. T. Lane, Mayor of the city Hutchinson, do issue this, my proclamation, setting apart Wednesday, the second dav of April.

Attest, J. P.

Dillon, J. T. Laxe, City Clerk. Mayor. The Xncs expected to horrify its readers with an account of the extravagance and neglect of duty on the part of the city council this week, and to that end sought and obtained permission to look over the books of the city treasurer.

Mr. Young very kindly assisted our contemporary in looking over the and prepared a report showing the present financial condition of the city. After looking over the report our much esteemed contemporary found that the city is in better con dition now than it was a year ago, after all the much vaunted extravagace, and it very shrewdly concluded that it didn't have room this week for the re port. It is quite likely that it will never find room for it either, for the showing is too good to afford any political capital to the persons who seek to oust the council at the coming municipal election. The new spring stock for Raff Bros commenced arriving this week, and in a few davs more their capacious shelves will be crowded with the largest, most complete, and best selected stock of goods ever brought to this city.

This is no buncombe. And when it is remembered that Hutchinson has some of the largest dry goods merchants in the state, the magnitude of the business conducted by Raff Bros, may be dis cerned. ihe residence ot Benedict Shater Grove township two miles north of Jor dan Springs, was burned to the ground Thursday evening, together with all the household goods and 130 bushels of corn. Xothing was saved from the flames, and the loss, while it only amounts to about S-jOO, is a heavy one on Mr. Shafer, who is old and poor.

It is not known how the fire originated. A gentleman from Xew York will commence running a regular line of Concord coaches from this city to Saratoga on Mondav next, which will be great convenience to the traveling pub lic. Ihe coroners jury at Mt. Hope returned a verdict of justifiable homicide in the case of X'orman Farthing, charg ed with the murder of Geo. Surtee at that place a few days ago.

The Odd Fellows lodge of this city contributed fifty dollars to the Ohio flood sufferers in addition to the purse raised in by the citizens generally. We have a public spirited, and at the same time economical city government. What necessity is there of a change? Xo business of special importance was transacted at the Monday night meeting of the city council. The annual reports of the city clerk and the city treasurer will be given our readers next week. to is S.

Just now, as just before every city election of late years, the chronic kickers are loudly proclaiming that the city "must be redeemed' Redeemed from what? Was the city ever in a more prosperous condition? Were city affairs ever more economically administered? Was there ever a better set of business men on the council than there is Have the sidewalks ever been in better average condition? Have taxes been any higher during the past municipal year? Did any of our forma administrations take more interest in public improvements? In short, what reason can be urged for the much needed According to the report of the city treasurer, the city of Hutchinson is now in better financial condition to the amount of than it was this time last year. And this notwithstanding that the council spent over a thousand dollars on the lire department, have established a set of city scales, and have spent more money on street improvements and in other public enterprises than any previous administration in the history of the city. The changes have been rung so regularly on the cry that the city is being bankrupted, that the information given above will no doubt be a surprise to many. The voters will be foolish and untrue to their own interests if they permit Krumlilers to mislead them in this matter. who do not pay a dollar in taxes -men who have about as much idea as to what should done in city aitairs as a hog has of the hereafter men who have no interest in the city beyond the fact of temporary residence men who hope to gain ofiice themselves through the prejudices of certain people are trying to dictate to the voters of Hutchinson in the approaching city election.

What does all this cry of redeeming the city amount to? It is simply the effort to make Hutchinson stultify herself and wheel into line for prohibition. And knowing that a majority of our citizens are opposed to prohibition principle, these men seek to gain their point by bowling that the city i3 being bankrupted by the present administration. The best answer to suCh charges is the city treasurer's books. The charge is made that the present city council has been false to its promises in that it has not suppressed the wheels. It is not true.

Every member of the council is opposed to these dives what decent man is not? Hut what can the council do "Instruct the marshal to suppress them' is the reply. It is quite likely that the marshal would be successful in an enterprise of that kind, when the county attorney, backed by a court equally zealous, has failed in the attempt. If the county attorney, whose duty it is more than any other man's, to see that the law is enforced, utterly fails to accomplish his object, it is silly to talk of a town marshal doing it. Repealed convictions will in time suppress the wheels, and we have faith that they will be entirely eradicated by the next term of court. The charge so often made that anti-prohibitionists are in favor of the wheels, is simply libellous.

A majority of our people oppose prohibition, and will do all they can to have a high license law substituted therefor, but to claim that this large body of respectable citizens is in favor of protecting law-breakers or encouraging the violation of the law, is an insult. It is only by maintaining the organization that prohibition can be defeated, and to that end the issue will not be ignored. The present city council is composed of leading business men, and they guard the interests of the city just as faithfully as a council of prohibi tionists could do. It can be depended upon that the wheels will be suppress ed. no matter which party gains the victory, and to talk, therefore, of "re the city, is to talk unmitigat ed nonsense.
