RAILROAD POLITICIANS NOT IN.
TIE SWIM.

The light vote cast for Gen. Harrison
Kelly is being accounted for by some
of the republicans upon the theory
that the farmers We're too busy to
attend the polls and from the fact that
there was no opposition candidate in
the field. Others, how ever who are
posted, say it was lack of enthusf-
asm among the disappointed wire pail
lers on account of their failure to
secure the nomination of the choice of
the regular machine politicians. While
Mr.. Kelley was no doubt the choice of
the party at large, there is no disgais-
ing the fact that certain influences
that have heretofore dominated the
congressional nominations of this dis
triet were fairly beaten in the conyen-
tion, and that they were all more or
less sore headed in consequence there

IN few days they will vote on pro-

is counting on an overwhelming ma

lists. 1t may he wellto recall that in

state by a majority of only 5000 in a

will be seen. that the doctrine was more

be, is by no means encouraging to its

TIE action of the railroad commits
sioners two months ago in reducing
railroad rates to and from Wichita has
raised quite a storm ia camp. Other
towns must have an equal show OF else
the Wichita decision must be undone.
The singular thing about that de-
cision WAS that at the meeting of the
commissioners in which Wichita was
granted such favorable rates, neither
the railroad representatives, who were
present, nor any other town i'll the
state made any serious objections
Now both are kicking, and threaten
such row as to compel the commits
sioners to reseind the Wichita decision
or extend it to other towns, whose
rights are no less to be regarded than
those of Wichita.
