TUESDAY. Sept. 80.
The past week has been one of interest
both TO farmers and politicians.
Corn cutting is about over.
Last Wednesday night the Democrats
had q meeting here and It was addressed
Hon. S. n. Wood. P. B. Maxon, w. H.
Anderson and others Mr. Wood spoke
for an hour and a half. Said he used
70 be Republican but left that party
about eight years ago. He is fluent
speaker Of easy address and one who can
lead his hearers astray better than the
average speakers. He seems to be an
officer seeker and said, 81 shall continue
to run for congress until 1 get there"
In his discussion Of the tariff issue and
public lands, he was IS far from
the truth as Father Taylor's Qhe
sailor preacher) son-in-Iaw was from be-
ing Christian, viz: The preacher was
speaking very highly of his son-in-law
one day to his brother ministers, when
one of them asked: as your son-ln-law
a Christian "Oh, not" said Father
Taylor, "but he is very sweet sinner"
Mr.. Wood SAID he and most OF the found
ers otthe Republican party had left it. He
might haYe SAID SO had Ben Butler and
lots of other disappointed offlce-seekers
On Saturday night, owing to the Sc
we're rain. there were but few out Col.
j. w. Feighan gave good address, and
alluded to the necessity of q protective
tariff to give the laborer fair pay for
his toll.
Judge L. b. Kellogg spoke of the
principles of the party, and how the Re
publican party Is the friend of the Ia
boring man that our public lands are
for homes and not for monOpolies, and
that it was the Democratic party who
first voted lands TO mOnOpolIes, and the
Republican party that is for giving
homes t. settlers.
Judge Kellogg is an honest upright
man. He is we'll qualified for the state
senate. The voters know where he
stands-that no click or corporation can
buy him. He is just the man TO repre-
sent and defend us at Topeka.
D. A. Hunter was also presented aid
spoke. He Is u true man and well
worthy the confidence OF the voters d
the SIxty-second district.
