"Dearslug" Hears from His Home

He Is Called Out, and Makes a
Speech.
Matt Williams Answers Him, and
"Brings Down. the House.

The grandest gathering thus far in the
campaign in this county-neither side
excepted assembled at Lone Star school
house. in the new township of Franklin,
last Tuesday evening to hear the Cause
OF the People, as opposed to the little
Wa.Reeney ring. discussed.
Matt Williams was unanimously elected
chairman of the meeting.
W. S. Tilton stated, at some length, the
nature of his labors in securing the
Kansas Forestry law; said that the law
resulted In state institution being loca-
ted ID Trego county; that this institution
brings into Trego county about FIVE thou
sand dollars year; that the object of
the Forestry law is to furnish at the For
es5ry Station, free OF charge, to every
4 lnsan who may want them, all the trees
b,r he may want for planting, and to ex-
pertinent with the viey of learning what
species OF trees are best adapted TO the
! plains portion OF Kansas; that tie great
| question concerning the development o.
western Kansas is that Of foresting the
RIGGS and slopes, thus creating myriads
of springs and making permanent water
courses of hundreds OF our streams and
"draws" which generally have held water
for only week or month during the
year. The accomplishment OF the first
actual beginning of this vital object by
respect which challenges attack, the
speaker said, constitute the very best OF
grounds why he should have been treated
decently when he asked for an endorse
ment in the shape of denomination. He
demonstrated that the people of the
county, regardless of politics. with the
exception of the little ring in Wa-Keeney,
had shown their appreciation of his ser
vices, and demonstrated that majority
of the Republicans had been lied out of
their choice of the nominee for repre-
sentative. He showed how and why that
little ring exists in Wa-Keeney.
NJ. D. HOLSTER made a splendid
speech. In addition to comparing the
candidates on the two tickets, he proved
that the ring slate was made up in May
last in Bossed Shepard's printing Office,
and that the ringsters' SUBSEQUENT &C
tons were bent upon moulding the peo-
Piles minds to swallow that slate.
S. NJ. Hutzel gave it straight to the
ringsters concerning their proposition
two years ago, in the interest Of Osborn,
to bury permanently the factional Ratchet.
Figuratively speaking, he held their po-
litical rottenness mp by an electric light,
and dissected and analysed it.
Matt Williams, in response to calls,
made an eloquent, impressive, manly ap-
peal to voters to stand by the Peoples
Ticket. Its being before the public, he
said, is in the direction of purity in poll
tics and of benefit to the tax payer. With
the county Offices divided between the
political parties, there will be that mu-
tual watchfnlness which is not apt to OBJ
tain where the county is differed exclu-
sively by men of one party.
Mr.. "Dearslug" was at the meeting,
feeling like one lone wanderer upon the
face of very cold earth. He was called
upon-for fun-to make speech. He
made it. It amounted to this: Mr.. Tilton
is man have nothing against, but if lie
is elected to the legislature, he will know
he is dead politically, and will do any
thing he can to feather his nest. Captain |
Hanna is called an old man; he is older
than Mr.. Tilton, but not so old as Ut.
Thurman. The speaker sat down.
Matt Williams took the floor, and for
few minutes he poured shot into "Dear-
slug's" deck, until the victim became an
object of pity. Mr.. Williams told how
Mr.. D. bad worked with him
for week IN behalf of the Peoples Tick
ct. He said Mr.. D. then made trip to
and how the scales were ia
ken off his eyes. In emphatic tones, full
Of earnestness, the speaker declared: The
people understand. Mr.. D., what your ac-
lion has been. Your case is settled. You
may deliver to the ring one vote at the
election. If You do, it will be your own.
The roof stayed on the house, but the
'act OF its doing so argues great power OF
resistance, for the house fairly shook with
applause and laughter at the telling
,oinfs made nv Mr. Williams
Forty Franklin township voters, more
han twenty ladies and number of
younger people were present.
