before. Not less than two hundred
meetings have been held under the aus.
pices OF, or In connection with the state
central committee.
The principals upon which the Re.
publican party bases its claims for Q
continuance OF power have been freely
discussed on the stump, by the press and
In documents of more than ordinary
value.
AS result it may be truthfully said
that no Issue OF national or state policy
has been neglected, and there is not q
voter IN the state but that can intelligent
ly cast his ballot. ,t.
| Upon the other hand, our opponents
have traversed the state and made their
campaign upon some phase Of the whis-
KY question, and that alone. The
Army of Liberty" has sent out its as
sistsnt Adjutant generals IN all quarters
OF the state, organizing its secret, oath
bound political organizations, which
have no test Of political principles ex
| cspt opposition to men who favor the
enforcement of the laws of the state.
The Republican party presents as It's
nominee for president James g. Blaine,
man whose life has been spent in the
service of his country. He has assembled
step by step from the legislature of his
own state TO congress, where Tor three
successive terms he filed the most i'm
portant position In that body in such
manner as to merit the voluntary Indors-
ment Of his political opponents. His
state next advanced him to the highest
position within their gift-the senate
Of the United States, from which
position the lAmeuted Garfield chose
him as his chief adviser, position
which. in the American system OF gov
ernmPnf fE apNO0d OnIu In he TractAovcr,
In all these positions he has proven him
self the equal of any of his predecee-
sors, and to-day stands in history the
peer OF Webster, Clay, Douglas, Seward.
and the great statesmen of American
history The Republican party presents
Is its candidate for vice president the
ideal volunteer soldier of the wal, j ohm A.
Logan. for nearly aquarter of century
identifed with the legislation of the
nation, and for four years at the head of
our noble heroes who saved the country
In its time OF peril. Both our candidates
are men WHIP may be chosen by the
young men of the nation as models OF
our social, private aud public life. Our
opponents present Grover CLEVELAND,
whose only claims for craftsmanship
consist in his having served his country
as sheriff of his county, aud whose vir-
tues Will not bear discussion In the
family circle. He is known to
have presented only one live issue
to his party = Oscar Folsom
Cleveland. The Democratic candidate
for vice president Thomas A Hen
bricks, Is q man whose public life has
been marked by a blot that should con-
denim him IN the hearts of every lover
OF bis country. When the lite of the
nation hung In q balance he did what
only a coward and disloyalist would do
aided and abetted his enemies. He re-
fused to sustain by his vote our soldiers
in the field, and when the thanks of the
country were offered to the living and
dead soldiers, he refused to add his voice
and when q pittance was offered the
MANNED hero, he cast his vote against
the measure. Disloyal in the beginning
his disloYalty has grown with his growth
and strengthened with his age!
The Republicans of Kansas present as
their chief candidate Colonel John A
Martin, whose history is the history of
Kansas. For more than twenty-five
years his time, talents and means have
been devoted to the development and
upbuildlng OF. his chosen state. The
school houses, churches, railroads, shops,
and farms bear testimony to his enter
prise, and those like him, who believed IN
Kansas and made her what she is--the
phenomenal state in patriotism, In love
OF law and order. In education, in gen
eral intelligence-in enterprise second
to no state in the Union. When not
more than boy he led the Eighth Kan
sas Regiment to the defense of his
of his country, and for four long years
on the battle-felds of the south, east and
west made record for the soldiers of
Kansas that will live as long as the love
nf In hn oE r..
people. In private and social life, an
example worthy emulation.
His opponent, George w. Click, like
his protype, Thomas A. Hendricks,
was born an obstructiOnist. Opposed to
the rebellion but opposed to the means
used TO conquer II. Opposed TO the de-
feat of our armies, but opposed to thank
ing our brave men for victory. OPP
posed to victory tor rebels, but opposed
TO giving our soldiers the means TO pre-.
vent 1t. Opposed to the colored man
being a voter, opposed to his enlistment
in the militia, and opposed to his at
tending the public schools.
From 1870 to 1882 monopolIst, then
suddenly turning anti monopolIst. To
use his own adopted report, "soiliDg his
shoes In the Lanyard, and joining the
army of the Patrons Of Husbandry."
Voters! We claim Kansas by an old
time Republican majority. See to il that
the CLAIM Is made good.
A vote Tor James G.. Blaine for the
presidency will be vote against re-
trograde movement in the public policy
of the nation, and q vote for the progress
In development of our nationality and
prosperity. 1t will be an intelligent vote
for man whose principles are not OBJ
scure, for he is at once the leader and

party whose record Is written in the
most glorious chapters In the history OF
the country.
Rebellion for slavery crushed; slavery
abolished; the freedmen enfranchised /;
all the productive industries of the coun-

ment resumed the laborer rewarded for
his toll; public credit invIolate; the ma
tional standard advanced and American
commerce enlarged. 1t will be q vote
tor man whose private life has been
ransacked, his private papers pub
iished by his enemies, and yet
who comes out clear as the noon
day sun. Slandered as to his domestic

| a family as there IS in the land, with q
i wife and children acknowledged as his

has had the hearts of the masses of the
Republicans for ten years, and who had
IN the Republican convention two thirds

trIcts and states, and who was swept into
the candidacy for the presidency by Z
force he did not direct nor control. II
will be vote against the party that left
the control of the national government
only to attempt through its leaders the

hitting the direction of affairs in the
hands of those who, but q few years ago
attempted TO destroy the country and
against giving the law-making pow

against disturbing the business which

the submission of the union to the sole
south. Remember that the house o
Representatives is now in the hands o
the democrats, q majority of whom ar,

the senate is only republican by YER

Democratic the same as the house, rebe
