Decoration day GRAFTON. Mrs. Hum
phrey accompanied the governor
and they are the guests Of Hon. and
Mrs. W. II. Mcbride. Governor
Humphrey and Mr.. Mcbride were
members Of the same company In
the late war. On many occasions
the same blanket has protected them
from the beating rains and the chill
ing winds Of the night in the sold
lers' camp on southerns fields. They

mand his removal. The unrest
among q large element Of republI-

say that the 5000 republican
majority in Kansas does not mean
that the old soldiers shall draw their
pensions from n mau who bush.

be surprised to learn that the notOri.
