Eot-bed OF abolltionism has been stirred up

There seems. to be no opposition
whatever to the election of Hon. E. II.
Funston to the Senate. His opponent,
nominated at LOLA by mere handful
of Democrats, will not receive support
in Anderson county to amount to any
thing. The opposition paper in that
county barely notices that he is a cam
didate in seven line local, and that is
the whole story. Itwould be good
idea for the opposition as well as Re
publicans of this county to give Mr.. F.
an unanimous support, and make his
election almost by reclamation.

A very practical way of backing up

F. A very pEactical way of backing up
Republican doctrine is voting the Re
|publican ticket. We &c not know of
any more effectual way of supporting
the party. IF there is any better way
we should be happy to hear of it, A
man might cheer every day during the
three months preceding the election,
and carry torch in procession every
night for that length of time, and yet
if he failed to vote, our verdict; would
be that he had better saved his wind
and coal oil.
We would also suggest that if a Re
publican believe what he says he or
what other men, speaking for him say,
can best show his sincerity by voting
his whole ticket from end to end.
When a man joins a political party he
agrees to accept what some truly good
men, who would doubtless improve
the society of Heaven should they. go
there, call "party machinery.n All
sorts of methods have been trieds and
it has been found ont that caucusses
and conventions are as fair a method of
getting at the popular will as can be
devised. When, therefore, RepIbli-
can convention, great or small, com
posed of representative Republicans,
has, in fair square manper nomina-
ted a ticket composed of Republicans,
the Republican who desires his profess
sions to be considered something more
than mere wind, can best prove his
honesty and sincerity by voting like q
man for every one of his fellow Repub-
licans whose names-have been legally
and honorably placed on the ticket.
Considerable talk is::dealt out in cleo
ton times abont sinking party" and
"voting for the best man." This need
not distract a Republican the 'Abest
man" for him to vote for is always the
regular Republican candidate. He is
the "best man" because he Is a Reppb-
lican, and in a vast majority of cases
he is the "best man" on general princi-
pies. The superior assumption of ex-
perience and ability put forth in Kan
sas on behalf of Democratic candidates
age generally non-sensical. There is
not school district in Kansas where
the bestdemocrat cannot be matched
by Republican who is. his equal if
not his superior. That Republican is
the is the best who votes as he cheers.
and WHOSE diligent practice conforms
to his earnest professions.

Mr.; EDITOR I'VE, with many Re-
publicans had the privilege oflistening
to q speech made by Major Harris,
candidate for ElectOr on the Demo
cratic ticket. Our Captain Jones, who
duced the speaker as Mr.. Harris, of Fit.
Scott. Why did he not introduce him
under the title of MAJOR Harris For
we have heretofore heard him lay par
ticular stress upon the fact that the
orator of the occasion was Captain or
Colonel so and so, in the Federal army
during the war. We know why he
did not introduce the speaker as Major
Harris. 1t was not the right kind of
an audience before whom to dwell up
on the gallantry of the Rebel Major.
The speaker was either partially crazy
on that evening, or he presumed that
he was addressing a set of idiots, for
any sane man is well aware that most
of his statements lacked even the SEM
blance of truth. He labored long and
faithful to prove that the Democratic
party and not the Republican party
put down the rebellion in this country.
In order to prove the proposition just
stated he gave the number of men
who enlistedin the Federal army from
several of the States He stated that
the Democratic State of Kentucky fur.
snished 20, 900 and Tennessee 80 900, and
that these States being Democratic, it
was fair to presume that the. vast ma
jOrity were Democrats. The.last cleo
ton held in the States just named pre-
vious to the war was for President of
the U. S. of America. The State of
Kentucky gave Bell and Everett a
majority of 1900 over the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency in 1860,
and it did not go Democratic until 1854
when the men who voted for the pres
ervatiOn of the Union in 1860 were far
down in Dixie fighting Major Harris,
and the Democratic party of the seced-
ed States. The State of Tennessee also
gave Bell and Everett good majority
Overthe Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, but furnished fewer men
than Kentucky, and, they were from
the Constitutional party and not from
the ranks of State Fights Democracy.
[ make the assertion that not one man
in ten who entered the armyfrOm those
two States were Democrats when they
enlisted or are to-day members of:that
organization. Major Harris might
possibly get rebels and copperheads
to believe such stuff, as he gave his
audience to digest, hut Republicans
know and pronounce his statements
false. Major Harris must be placed in
the list of fools or knaves, and we are
inclined to class him with the latter,
for we are satisfied that he is a man OF
foO vpr1lch inta1liDppce to not know that
his statements were largely falsehoods.
The rest of his speech was characterize.
ed by similar wild statements, and we
think the Republicans have made a
mistake in not hiring him to make
speeches alEoyer the State, for he
could make ttstalwarts" OutOf all weak
kneed Republicans who. might hear
him. VOTER.

Harris, Democratic speaker, Mon
day night, in speaking in favor of free
trade, stated among other things that
the party had removed the duty: on

people. The facts are that

nine it rose in price so cents per ounce,
and to-day is at the same price as be-
fore the removal off Of the duty.

announced by his own voluntary act
when he signed the Democratic club,
"that he pledged himself anew" to the
cherished principles and traditions of
the party, and he is to support their
ticket from HANCOCK to Acers-{A cers is
opposed to the amendaent) He made
a formal and distinct pledge, and now
claims in a muddled sort of a way, when
fishing among Republicans for vote,
"I'm just as good Republican as YOU"
Now what does he mean? Is his pledge
worth anything?

be sufficient to explain why that paper

But the publisher has personal griev-
