TRADING ON The SOLDIER.

II is well known in this city, and it Is not
denied by anyone, that one or two eandi-
candidates for county Offices on the Demo-
cratic ticket, confidently expect large num-
Der of Republicans, who are comrades OF
the Grand Army of the Repnblic, to vote
for them because they are members Of that
association. We refer to Messrs. John
Fisher, candidate for sheriff, and Mr. Chas.
F. Derby, for county treasurer. In this re,
spect Mr.. Derby has no advantage over hi:
opponent, Captain Walters, for he too is s
Grand Army man; but the rallying cry Is
on Mr.. Fisher, because his opponent, Mr.
w. w. Hayes, than whom there is no bet
ter citizen, nor stauncher Republican,
who was not soldier. Mr.. Fisher
expects to get, Grand Army Republican
votes
Before coming to decision on this point
we invite every old soldier to ask himself
the question, would John Fisher vote for al
old soldier, who was a Republican. against
q Democrat on his own ticket We answer
no; no matter if the nominee on his OWL
ticket had been a rebel. Will John Fisher
or Mr.. Derby vote for an old soldier on the
Republican ticket? No. They may claim
that they would, but the record is against
them. Did they vote for General Logan
the father of the Grand Army organization,
when he was a candidate for the vice presi-
dency, against that rampant cop
perhead, Thomas A. Hendricks. Ne
They painted the town red over the victory
they were leaders of the gang.
Did they vote for Garfield. No; they Ia
belled the city with "329." Did they ever
vote for Grant, the great soldier who this
nation loved? Not much, Did they ever
vote for a Republican, Not if they knew 1t.
Would they vote for you were you on Re
publican ticket, No stree, Bob. VIII
they ever vote for any Republican! Not II
they know themselves.
Trading on ones army friends reminds us
of Josh Billings old saying: about as low
down as man can get without spelling, is
to live on his wife's reputation" So it is in
this case About as low down as an office
seeker can get is TO live altogether on his
army record. 1t is seriously suspected that
they are not SO very enthusiastic in the
cause, for at the last meeting of the Gar
field Post, when Gen. A. l.. Lee was mus
tered in, these boosted soldiers were out in
tho country hunting Republican votes be-
they were Grand Army men. Republicans,
consider these matters, and think before you

THE DIFFERENCE

The difference between the solid cash
value of resl estate in this and Kansas City
is toreibly illustrated in the following \
Kansas City real estate broker who had
been blying up real estate in that city, pay
ing 10 per cent. down and the remainder IN
two years and upwards, judging from re-
cent developments thought Wichita was the
coming city, came down this week to COB
bic up a lot OF real estate on the same terms
as he did in Kansas City, but he found
things shade different here. He even OF
fered - per cent. cash on number Of lots,
but it was 10 20. No one would take less
than - per cent. and most Of them would
rather have the cash. Real estate IN this
city Is no; begging for buyers
