Clearly because they were in Office; and
everybody knew that no Democrat could
get Office under this Government unless
willing to catch niggers. Ofiice-holding

which made men Office. holders equally
honorable? That the end justl6es the

fbpdly hoped we we're aboutto escape.
Tha free. State men in Kansas Them

Hlies IN their own way. We regret the
G5yernor's letter, as calculated.4th

tFruly this Kansas iDsbroglto as It Is
