TOE A CEDTRA SATE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE MARION COUNTY F. A. I. U. VOL, 1.

MARION, MABION OOPNTyTkANS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11. 1891, NO, 31 THE PEOPLES' CONVENTION, Now is the Time A larger stock than ever. Better prices than ever. We never were as well prepared for trade as we are this fall. And never had as cheap a line of goods.

It makes the high tariff fellows squirm and kick when they hear what we are doing. Let them kick. They have had it their way long enough. The people are willing to pay what a thing is worth. They don't want something for nothing and should be fairly treated, but they do object to being robbed.

Self preservation is the first law of nature. If we are not selling goods right, don't buy of us. Test us that is all we ask. We believe we can save you money on everything you want. Let us hear from you.

We guarantee to save you 25 to 50 percent on cloaks. LOVBLKSS SACKET. To Paint You House and Barn, and before You buy your material, see my colored Lead It out lasts any other material ever used, And when here, look at my window shades, Wall paper, and house paints in 15 and 25ct Cans, and varnish in small cans.

That while the party in power in 18711. pledged the faith of the nation to pay a debt in coin that had been contracted on a depreciated currency basis ami payable in currency, this adding nearly one billion dollars to the burdens of the people, which meant gold for the bondholder and depreciated currency for the soldier and holding that men who imperilled their lives to save the life of the nation should have been paid in money as good as that paid to the bondhold er, we demand the issue of legal ten der treasury notes in sufficient amount to make the pay of the soldiers equal with coin, or such other legislation as shall do equal ana exact justice to the I'nion soldiers of this country, and we further demand the immediate passage of a service pension bill. 5th.

Resolved, That we favor a liberal reduction of the salaries of the county olllcers of this state. 6th resolved, Thnt we feel that the reference in the Marion Kecoru to Mrs. Todd as a "she-devil" is language that no gentleman, be he a prolligatc or a Christian, would use in speaking of a woman, who proved herself to be a lady and whilo she might have provoked this newspaper attack, we are informed made no assertions that do not border very closely, if not entirely on the truth 7th. Resolved That the Rcpuhll cans of this Judicial District has made Judge Doster's recent address before the Marion county Union, a pretext for calling so-called nonpartisan, anti-socialistic convention, in winch they invite the three politi cal parties to participate for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Judge therefore lie it Resolved, that we condemn this as the most ultra party measure that has ever disgraced this District, (in in suit to the intelligence of the voting public and a direct insult to the Peo pies Party of the District.

W. Gra In a recent issue we began a series of articles on the People's party pin '--form, first giving the condition of the country and causes that led to lie formation of a new party, then taking each plank of the platform seperately and showing its merits and demerits in a way that cannot truthfully be disputed. These articles will be somewhat lengthy with numerous quotations from undoubted authorities 011 the different subjects and they will continue until the week before election. We hope that every mmber of the People's party will endeavor to get at least one new subscriber at once, so that as many as possible will read these articles that alone will be worth more than the price of the paper, and they will have a deciding influence on many who are now "on the fence" and cause them to cast their lot with the party of justice and equality for all. We want canvassers in every part of the county and to those who will devote their time to it and send in clubs, we will'give a large'cash commission that will pay well for the time employed.

We have made arrangements with the Emporia Business College by which we will give to the one who furnishes us with the largest list of cash subscribers, a term of six months in the College worth $10. This is in addition to the cash commission. This College is second to none in the West and students can enter any time. Other premiums may be added la er and the time of awarding premium will be announced soon. TAYLOR A Mew Departure.

The Santa Fe Route has made a new departure, by issuing a combination hotel and railroad ticket, which is good for passage on all regular Colorado Midland trains between Colorado Springs and Woodland Park, and allows the holder to stop at the best hotels in Colorado Springs Manitau, Cascade, Ute Park, Green Mountain Falls, Manitou Park and Woodland Park. The tourist buys one of these tickets for as many days as he expects to be out, paying therefor a fixed amount The ticket entities him to best accommodations at any one or all of the hotels at points mentioned, for length of time he desires to remain, (whether for one meal, one day or longer), and to free use of railroad line between such points and within limit of ticket. By this plan passenger has benefit of lowest weekly or monthly hotel rate, with very cheap railroad fare andean profitably divide his time among the various resorts. Tickets are made good for a week, or any additional number of days op to thirty, and children are given a reduced rate. Call on local agent Santa Fe Route for full information regarding above form of tickets, as well as for rates to DcnveJ, Colorado Springs, Manitou, Pueblo and Las Vegas Hot Springs.

The faithful fifteen, who, by the way, are composed of postmasters, office seekers and patrons of the public crib, will now bu placed on the lolilical retired list without pay, for'lho period of their usefulness Is aliout past, but they have done their best.

The C'haee County Bepmblican Convention Once more the faithful have "got in their work," to use a slang phrase. It is a sad spectacle to see the best efforts of mens lives fall so flat and so hard as the efforts of the heroic fifteen has. They still had hopes, even after two Democratic County conventions refused to have anything to do with them, but the crowning humiliation came last Saturday at Cottonwood Falls when the Republicans in convention assembled 148 strong: Resolved. That the action of the Republican Judicial Convention for tlio oMi, nisirie.t which met at Flor ence recently, in calling what they styled an anti-socialistic convention, exceeded their authority; that they are not called together foi the purpose of passing strictures upon individuals, nor to invite other political organizations to unite with them, that they might with their assistance succeed in crushing a single individual naming the person; but that they were selected for the purpose of deciding whether it was advisable to hold a Republican Judicial convention and if so, to fix the time and place. Resolved, That the Republican of Chase county are built on too broad principles to go into the business of lighting individuals, but we proceed on the broad principles of national Republicanism; therefore be it Resolved, That we as Republicans depreciate the action of our Judical conimitteo and refuse to send delegate to the convention called by them.
