NOW DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS. The Democratic convention for Brown COUNTY NHJArs: ROBINSON. MR. EDITOR. It might be interesting to GRAND DEMOCRATIC STATE ELECTIONS.

The election returns up to yesterday afternoon indicate a Democratic gain in JHE jORJH JANSAN. IHAWATHA, KANSAS? Vm. Y. Gohdok, Editor. 8 ATl'KDAY MORNING, OCTOBER, 12.

CONSISTENCY. President Hayes declares that his civil service orders remain in full force, and that he has hot in any degree chauged his views or purposes on the subject. Lest some one should overlook ihe pointed terms of the order, we reproduce the material part of it relating to their duties. It is as follows No officer should be required or perJJ mitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties.

No assessment for political purjioses on officers or subordinates should be allowed. And yet ic is perfectly well known that Mr. Hayes and evory member of his cabinet have contributed liberally of their money and the people's time to assist in the Republciau campaign in every State, so far, that has held an election. They are still doing the same thing for the assistance of the party in tho national canvass now begun. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Lin FIAT MONEY." "Fiat" is defined "let it be done; a decree; a command to do something." Republican's style the greenbacks desired by the Democratic Greenback party "fiat money." They mean by thir, sneer to deny tne right of the Governmentof Congress--to tuy what shall be money.

But they forget their own par ty money Thefe are three so-called silver dollars among the people. First, the Mexican dollar, which, though it has plenty of silver in it, is no dollar at all in the United according to the "fiat" of the Republics nflaaneiers of the Government. These dollars were im-po ted by the vhohnale und set ufl ai among the people by the baukers aid just as though they were real dolhirs and so ooon as they hu-i been paid out and fouud their way into the pockets of the poor, the banks au-njunced tht they were iiot dollars, and ere only worth niuety cents. By tha; trick they made ten oenrsoneach piece, And at litt as they nw gather them tilth ey ship them to Kvw Orleans, and sell them for ninety-seven cents, to bt xported to Mexico, thus netting tin aggregate profit of seven leen cents fi ach one by their "houobt money" nick Next comes the "trade oollHr," mor.i properly speaking, the fraud dollar which, though having niore silver iii ii than the Mexican piece, is declared bj eounty convened in the Court House in Hiawatha, Saturday, October 5, 1878, and was called to order by the chairman of the county central committee, lion.

They adjourned to meet at Fairview to-day (Saturday) to nominate a candidate. 3d district. The delegates nominated D. P. AVilliams, the pres entincumbent, and we have assurances from Democrats and Greenbackers that he will be elected by a handsome majority.

The Greenbackers had nominated Mr. C. Chase, and his name was placed before the Democratic District Convention. But one of the delegates stated that Mr. Chase had told him he positively would not be a candidate unless he was the unanimous choice.

It was evident he was not, and hence some of the delegates declined voting tor him. The vote stood: C. Chase, D. P. AVilliams, whereupon Mr.

AVilliams' nomination was declared unanimous. Fowler Brothers, of New York and Chicago, are just completing, at Atchison, one of the most extensive if not the most extensive pork packinghouses in he world.

JOHN R. GOODIN TO SPEAK AT HIAWATHA, KANSAS, ON Tuesday, October, IS, 1873- Turn 'Out, Everybody and Hear the Favorite Son of Kansas. KANSAS REDEEMED. 37,000 Majority Against Radicalism Kansas repudiating Republicanism is one ofthe wonders of recent political changes. Six months ago, the politi cian who would say Kansas might vote against the Republican party, would have been deemed lame in calculation as to public events.

But the tone of every leading Radical speaker and editor, of late, shows that there is really a dangerous cloud arising on their political which, though at first no burger than a man's hand, has spread across the Kansan heavens, and to-day lowers over the house of R-publicanini with dire threatenings. We claim that Kansas is already free from Radicalism. It only needs the counting of the vote of the 5th ot next month to settle that matter. The contest is between the Democrats and Republicans, but if the Democrats und Greenbackers all over the State are a true to their aims and principles as they are in Brown county, the majority will be so emphatic- as to astonish the political world and settle Kansas as forever free from the incubus of Radicalism. A glance at the figures of the election of November, 1876, as compared with the present political status of the State will reveal a very Wholesome codition of affairs VOTE OF NOVEMBER, 187G Geor-re T.

Anthony, for Gov'r (H) John Martin (l) M. E. Hudson (G) Paulson (T) 6,020 393 37 Scattering But as Anthony did not poll hi full party vote, take that for M. J. Salter, for Lieutenant-Governor on the same ticket, 77,774.

Martin's vote Democratic, 46,204. Leaving a Republican majority of 31,570. Now what is there to overcome this 31,570 Republican majority? The German vote of Kansas hereto fore almost solidly Republican will herealterbe opposed to that party by the action of the recent German con vention at Topeka, which repudiated Republicanism and endorsed the present Democratic nominee for Governor. There is just as much reason for suppo sing tho Germans of Kansas will follow the action of their convention as to suppose that Democrats will follow that of their convention or Republicans, or Greenbackers that of their's. But say that all the Germans do not choose to follow the lead of their Topeka conven tion grant that fully a third of them will nat.

This leaves 16,000 German votes to be deducted from the Republican vote of 1876, which leaves it tlins: Rcmiblican vote of 1870, 77,774 Less of the German vote. .10,000 Republican vote of 1887... ..01,774 .65,204 John Martin's vote 1870, German vote added 40.504 .10,000 Leaving a Democratic majority in 1878 of 430. It is claimed that a majority of the incoming voters since 1876-immigrants and those becoming of age are Demo crats. Of this fact no man can prophecy, with any aFRurance; but let us drop it out of the calculatioB.

Of the immigrants only those who came to the State prior to May 5th, 1878, can cast a ballot, aid grant that of them the Democrats and Republicans would receive equal accet- 1.1 sion." thus counterDaiancmg eacu otner in the increase. It is claimed that the Greenbackers of Kansas have drawn more heavily than from from the Republican the Democratic party; but let us say they have drawn equally, thus coun terbalancing that decrease in the two parties. Should the Greenbackers determine to continue their ticket in the field, they oeuld make no alteration in the figures as given, but would force the contest to be between the Democrats and Republicans, and make it the clos est vote almost ever given in a guber natorial election but still leaving the Democrats 430 majority Now, as before hinted and it is by no means improbable, suppose the 27 000 Greenbackers and the 46,204 Demo crats combine thi3 year by the with drawal pf one of the State tickets, in favor of the other. This with the 16,000 Germans who at their convention at Topeka on the 25th of last month left the Republican party and endorsed John R. Goodin these three elements combined would poll 89,204 votes, or majority over the Republican vote of 1876 less the Germans.

What a shout would go up throughout the Union! what a trembling among the Radical hosts what a set tlement of the election of 1880 as the telegraph wires, on the 6th day of No- vemler next, bore the glad tidings KANSAS GONE DEMOCRATIC BY 27,000 MAJORITY We say again, this is not at all improbable, but such a devoutly-to-be wished-for consummation may be ex pected. Let our State Central Com mittees carefully weigh these matters when they meet, and instead of Kansas by a trembling majority, steadily and firmly plant her as among the lost to RepnbUcanipni.

"ACQT7IT YOU LIKE MEN." The campaign is now fairly opened, and by Monday next candidates for every office in the county to be filled. will be lefore tho people for the com ment at their suffrage. It is devoutly to be hoped that the canvass will Ik? writers and speakers, in a fair, open, courteous manner. L4 not partizan feeling or political heat lead to passionate anger or ungentlemanly crimination. Discard inuendoo.

and if charges exist ugainst the fitnes of any candidate, let the matter be brought from the record, and leave the people to make their own comment. Rest as sured, they are fully as capacitated for that duty as stump speakers or political writers. In any event, let gentlemanly demeanor characterize the conduct of every partizan, and be not forgetful that all men cannot take the same political views, and that two parties are indispensably neceary a republican form of government. Let the silent people read all they can procure of the literature of politics, then carefully and honestly ponder the propositions of both parties, preparatory to costing their votes as freemen the highest glory of humanity on earth. GREENBACK CONTRACT.

For the benefit of those Republicans who say we cannot pay the bonds in greenbacks, we print the exact language found on the back of the greenbacks issued Maroh 10, 1862 United States. This note is a legal tender for all debts, public and private. except duties on import and interest on the public debt, and is receivable in payment of all loans made to the United States of America. "Receivable in payment of all loans made to the United States." Every bond ij evidence of a "loan made to the United States," and the original con tract made that bond payable in those greenbacks. The fact that the Repub lican party, to curry favor with the Sliylocks of the changed that contract after the loans were made does net change the fact; and the next Congress is Democratic-Greenback enough to sny so.

Col. St. John calls himself a Green back Republican, and says he is in favor of an exclusive greenback currency. He is also for Grant for President in 18S0. Grant vetoed the only bill look ing to the establishment of the 'green back as the dominant currency of the country, and said he would have vetoed the silver bill if he had been President when it was passed.

St. John would make Grant President with the morul certainty that he would do the t-ame thing again if an opportunity offered. That is probably what is meant by the term, "Greenback-Republican" in favor of the greenback: theory, opposed to its adoption. -Ex. John Sherman, himself, in his comments on the bill to suspend contract ing in 1868.

acknowledged that contrac tion in the United States "exceeded that of the history of any nation." He; acknowledged then that "one hundred and forty millions had been withdrawn in less man two years. xnac it nas been so rapid as to excite a stringency that is causing complaint, and I think the people have a right to be relieved from it." John's head was level then, but it has got the Republican uneven ness of late years. The 7.30 notes were so called because they bore interest at the rate of teven and thirty-hundredths per cent, per an num. The 5 20's were so called because they were redeemable in five years, and payable in twenty years and the 10-40's were so called because they were redeemable in ten and payable in forty years. The 7.30s were, by the terms of their issue, either payable in greenbacks or fundable ints 6-20's in three years from the date of their issue.

The most of them were, in fact, turned into 5-20's before fiie end of 1868. Mr. Pomeroy Baid it was because of the proscription policv of he Republican party that it was being defeated all over the Union in Maine it was a gold proscription, ir Rhode Island it was a land proscription, in another State, nativity, in another, education, "and I tell you," says he, "the party deserves to be defeated!" Amen! "Hurrah for Colorado!" the Republicans all over the United States have been shouting the past week. All because that State went Republican. The issue was that of finance the Republicans of Colorado advocated John Sherman's hardest hard money policy and gained.

It is natural for Republicans to shout thereat. The wheat product of Kansas this year will exceed thirty million bushels, an i the corn product will reach over a hundred million bushels.

The bankets probai.lj thought them for ninety cents in Cali fornia.

They have on them a picturt if the American eagle and ihe GoddtHr. of Liberty, but are a fraud, neverthe less. They lack the fiit of the law -le gal tender to make theui dollars. A soon as the laboring poor aui the pur blind small merchants got into their pockets about all the trade dollars there were in this country, the banks, at a signal given shut down on them and they are worth only ninety cents But they have a red, bona fide, simon pure, "fiat" dollar, called the silver dollar. It has less silver in it than either of the others but it is nevertheless a true genuine dollar, because it bears tne fiat of legal tender.

It represents on' Hundred cents of any property or debt. It cannot bo shaved or discounted be cause it is clothed with the potent and necessary fiat of law. Query: If Government can declare hich of these is and which is not a dollir, and can give the preference to the one of less intrinsic value, why not, "fiat" that something elae is a dollar? An individual or corporation takes a piece of paper, writes or prints on it "this is good for one dollar," and wheii his signature or the chartered name the corporation is appended, it is a dol lar, just so far as the credit of the bi-uer is good. Let the United States do the same, and just so far as the gover ment's credit is good it icill le a dollar, whether it be stamped or printed, on paper, gold or tilvt-r. Intrinsic value" has nothing to do in the case iroih i more valuable to mankind than gold or silver.) Bat without tho signature and assertion, or "fiat," neither of the three is worth a dime.

"FIAT 1TJX." Ben Butler, in hi.i speech at Indianapolis on Friday night of last week explored fiat money by the following: The newspapers and some political -peakers were, he SuiJ, raising great to the phrase fiat money," but what does fiat ney mean? Do the newspapers know what in means?

The St. Joe -azettc ni Tuesday has the following to say of two of the can didates on the nJoeratic-Oreenbuok county ticket of Brown couuty: Mr. Coetell is a very popular, deserving and well qualified young man. The Hon. Beset A.

Parsons has rep resented his district one term in the Legislator. He made orre of the most highly useful and morab-e members. He is a man of much more than ordinary ability aa a lawyer and a lt-gislator, of uood character, great popularity, and will doubtless be re-elected this fall. The St. Joe Gazette's traveling correspondent writes as follows of the Democrats and Greenbackers of Brown county The Greenback party had, some days since, made their nominations.

Th-uominees of both parties, taken together, make up a full ticket, which the best posted men say will be trinmphantK elected this fall. The ticket altogether is a good one, composed of the best and most popular men. The two parties are aeting wisely and harmoniously in Brown county, and it would be well for them to do so through out 'the State, as it would crown their efforts with sure this fall. Cannot the two State Central Committe es effect a coalition and have but one State ticket in the field this fall? Such au arrange men' is much wished for, and would be very popular in North Kansts Let it be done, and speedily, too, is the fish of all. Arrangements for the building of a branch of the Central Branch railroad, from Concordia to Scandia.

have been perfected. The grading is already completed, and the iron is to ba purchased at once. Scandia is on the Republicn river in Republic county, and about 25 miles north of Cone- rriia. 'Oh! my prophetic soul, my uncle." Skniepfxr. II.
