The Republican Nominee for Sena-
tor, What the Press Say of Him,

AS Col. ST. Clair is not very well
known in our county, we will endcav-
or to introduce him to our people.
Our candidate is farmer of forty
years standing, is resident OF Sum-
ner county aud citizen who is not
ashamed of his profession. The Col.
is a member of the order of Patrons OF
Husbandry of his county and holds an
important office in connection with
the county organization. The Col. Is
also a broad shouldered, stiff backed
Republican and believes i'll "Reform
within the Party"
Mr.. St. Clair is sound, sensible
man, plain in speech, a gentleman in
appearance. and to our mind worthy
of the support of the people of this
district.
Having supported him from first to
last in the convention, we can most
cheerfully tender him our heartiest
support before the people. We hoist
his name in our paper and Oh behalf OF
the people of this county can promics
Col. st. Clair rousing majority at
the November election Walnut Val

The republicans of the 18th senator
ial District, held at Wichita, Septem-
Der 18th, nominated Ii. G. ST. Clair OF
Sumner county. Mr.. st. Clair is a
straight out republican and conse-
quently not in political accord with
| us, in Justice to the Col. however, we
are impeled to say, that he is a cOurte-
Gus gentleman, and an earnest worker
in his party, and, if a republican has
to be elected, we would rather have
him than any other we know in the
party. Notwithstanding the compli-
ment. however: we feel is due to the
| Col. as our tOwnsman, we think he is
too kind a neighbor and hospitable a
gentleman. to expose to the uncertain
| influences of Legislative experiences,
therefore we think the District will
keep him amongst us.-BeHc PLAN
