Wichita eagle., 1888-08-11

Blaine and those who journeyed with
him in New York yesterday was an au
spicious and felicitous event to them
and to the admiring thousands who had
assembled to bid him welcome. His re.
spouse to the address of welcome. though
brief, was most fitting and impressive.
With the jointists down on the EAGLE
and the Democrats down on the EAGLE,
and the political preachers down on the
EAGLE. it looks little hard for the
EAGLE. Probably we had better shut
up shop. However. we believe that
Revs Gates and Tull still hold to their
faith, to their vows, and to the decency
that becomes their high and holy calling,
all honor to them
We asked four of the preachers who
presented the ''open letter. in reply to
Elder Swartz if they were Republicans.
Every one answered no. Of course they
are not. But even as Democrats they
would hold more securely the respect
and confidence of their Republican con-
gregations if they would keep out of
the muddy pool into which their vain
and swell-head presiding elder has led
! them.
The Methodist preachers all at once
seem to have concluded that the EAGLE
is a very bad paper. My dear sirs we
have been here longer than any of you,
| helped to build more Methodist and other
churches IN this section than any of you,
and we will be and remain a shining
brother-in-law in that same church when
your names will have been utterly for
gotten by the people who pay for your
bread and butter today.

started it that he was more solicitous of
his own personal prominence than he
was of the cause of either lowly Naza-
rine, christianity or the Methodist church.
| The only trouble was his organ went
down before he could corral political
nomination. Botkin is a boomer. and
now that he has seduced several Of his
own ministers he will sail high.
The Kansas City Times states that
John T. Huckle, of Harper's Weekly,
stopping in that city enroute to the
Rocky Mountains, in company with w.
w. Howard and J. G. Foord, also OF Har-
I'er's Weekly, offered on Tuesday to bet
800 to $3.50 that Harrison wouh carry
New York; 5000 to $40 that he would
sweep West Virginia, and $50 to $50
that he would have walkover in Indi-
ana. The bets were taken by Foord.
Last week Secretary Fairchild &C

Casual observations like this: The |
consistency with which the Democracy

Ireland and then go back to congress
and work hard to keep home rule out of
Dakota is not exactly as apparent as it
might be-" show that the next governor
of Kansas has as keen appreciation of !

heard and felt, too, before the close of |

This is the best market in the world.

buyers because our working classes receive
the best wages.-Harrison's indianapolis
speech.
This is the keynote of the campaign
The home market exists because the
tariff protects the manufacturing con-
sumers. The people know where the
bread and butter comes from, and are
not likely to give up the engine by which
they are enabled to produce for their
own consumption.

mutton raising is equally as important
