Quite number of the Downer citizens
again visited the Excelsior lyceum Tues.
day evening. An enjoyable time was had
by all present. The question-ResOlved
That the Indian has received more cruel
treatment from the hands of the white
man than the negro-was discussed by
fluent speakers, and decided in favor OF
the Affirmative. The chief disputant on
each side made bet between them
that their respective sides would win. 1t
was proposed by the negative captain to
the captain on the affirmative side, and
then he lost. It makes him (the negative
captain) feel cheap, as he lost on his own
proposal. Officers were elected for the
ensuing month, and some of the officers
who served last month were reelected, in
honor of the past faithfulness, integrity
and honorable character which they have
shown while in service. What pity the
legislator of this county could not have
been elected for the second term to the
legislature in honor and respect of what
he has done for the good of Trego county
and western Kansas.

A Personal Vindication.
GLENCOE TOWNSHIP, ]


To the Editor of the WESTERN KANsAs WORLD:
Will you please allow me to say word
through your paper to exonerate me from
public censure?
In your last issue, "Voter" says that
one of the delegates to the Peoples con-
vention went back on the candidates
whom he had assisted to place in nomi-
nation. Mr.. G. W. Cross and myself
were the committee from Glencoe. 1, as
every one knows, voted the Peoples
ticket and worked for it; and I don t be-
lieve that Mr.. Cross would, after going
into that convention and acting as one of
the committee on nominations, go back
and cry "Bolterr' as Voter charges.
With the township part of that ticket, I
had nothing to do. I did not take part
in nominating it, and did not feel myself
morally bound to support it, as one Of
the parties was hostile to the ticket, and
another was only transient, and after
making the most noise and wearing the
largest ssad, went to the polls and aided
the ring outfit.
I desire all to understand that I was
with the Peoples ticket in the last cleo
ton, and worked for and voted my honest
convictions; and am not sorry for the
part I took in the premises. But was
surprised to see parties who had been
helped into Office by you and your inhu-
ence turn against you at this last cleo
ton. Such men should be passed with
silent contempt.
Respectfully yours,
G, W, SrAPLN.

Easily Victimized.

The green goods men and other like ad-
venturcrs are as asssiduous as ever in ply
ing their trade, and although the public
has been warned repeatedly against them,
and their methods have been shown up time
and again, they do not want for victims.
1t would seem almost that people walk into
the traps set for them with some belief that
they are to be feeced.
An old man in Cleveland, O., was re-
lieved of 50 900 the other day by one Of these
rogues He was met near his home by a
nice looking and oily-tongued young fellow
who represented to him that he was writing
a history of Ohio. and would like to have
the benefit of his recollections. The old
gentlemau's vanity was tickled, and he was
thrown off his guard. He went with the
young man t. boarding house, and, after
little while, by a skillful twist, the CONVEX
sation was turned upon the subject of rapid
money making, which reminded the young
man that he owned a device by which
81 900 or 50, 600 could be changed into s., 600
in the twinkling of an eye.
OF course the old man doubted, and of
course the usual person, who had tried the
trick and VINO knew IL would work, APP
peared at this moment The result was
that the old gentleman went out and gath
cred together nearly oil of his savings, and,
returning, placed the sum in the hands of
the young man, to be subjected to the trans
formation process. When he realized that
he had been ieeced, he was Frustrated with
sickness.
The fools are not all dead yet, and that is
why the bunko men and the green goods
men are enabled to make good livings 1t
seems incredible that a person should be
taken in by trick so transparent, and yet
hundreds of apparently sensible men are
robbed in a similar manner every year. Is
it owing more to their credulity, or to their
overweening desire to get money without
earning it, that they succumb to the wilss
of aiyentureTSi

The Campaign in the South.

There is not much of national political
campaign in the south. The southerners
are not getting much fun out of politics this
year. The newspapers are keeping up with
political events but the campaign orators
are few and far between. Some few of the big
politicians have been invited north to help
along the work there, but no big northern
politicians have made their appearance in
the south, and are not likely to. The south
is quiet 1t is merely looker-on. 1t is
watching the political fray, however, with
profound interest, but is rather glad that it
has no particular part in it.
The colored folks are picking cotton,
gathering the rice and making sugar The
white folks are attending to business. The
Republican party decided early that it
would not make fight in the south, and
that let the south virtually out of the
contest.
There is some interest in local politics, and
a little later on the candidates for state
offices and congress may make a few
speeches to prevent the people from forget
ting that there is going to be an election one
of these days, but nowhere in the south is
there any intense political excitement, and
the south is not sorry.
