The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1890-10-17

1he views duNancfu Dy frencn were
somewhat of surprise to those VINO have
heretofore known SO well Mr.. Frenc his
strong objections TO all paternal forms of
government The speaker also very
severe in his condemnation of the mortgage
companies, who were foreclosiug their mort
cages on the farms of the state, and bid
ding them in, when offered at sherin's sale,
for the Paitry sum Of 500. Nc. French, how
ever, neglected to state chat he largely
Interested, as Gn agent of some of those com
ousiy condemned.
We fear Mr.. French said good many
Things to catch votes which he didn't really
believe in. Notwithstanding the fact that he
spent nearly half an hour in tell ng the peo-
Pie that he didn't care whether tbey voted
for him or not aud that he didn't need the
office.-Mereury,
We clip the above from last weeks MGR
curry. As we were at Weese's grove and
listened TO Mr. French's speech, and particu-
'sriy to that part of it relating 10 the fo,e
closure of mortgages, we unhesitatingly de-
| nounco the above report of esteemed
contemporary as unjust and untrue, and
prompted by a desire to injure Mr.. French
professionally and as a citizen.-GEAPHIC.
Had the gentlemnniy editor OF the GRAPHIC
penetrated a little deeper into the reoesses
OF his memory we do not bslioYc he would
have so "unEesitatingiy denounced'' the
above report as untrue" We also wore
there, and while Mr.. French may have said "A
great many things that we did not hear, un-
like the GRAPHIC editor we made no note of
Them, but commented only on the portions of
the speech we listened to. The GRArHIC
further says:
What Mr.. French actually said. was. thai,
Kansas was IN need of u redem zion law such

Ne also heard Mr.. French say that, but

| nearly very farmer IN the county knows
that there is such law on our statute BOOKS
at the present time. The Republican state
platform declares in favor of extending the
time for redemption from that of six months
as nj present., to one year.-Mercury.
Our esteem netFcontemporary, prompt
cd, e1theI through ignorance OF a de-
sire to mis1ead, neither of which are
excusable under the circumstances,
again puts his ''fuot in it'' when he
says, '.there is such II law on our
statute hooks at the present time. -

the foreclosure OF mortgages.
Again: '.rhe Republican state
! platform declares in favor of extend
ing the time for redemption, from that
of six months as at present, to one
year, We really do not know wheth-
er the Republican platform declares
in favor of this or not but presume ii
does, as its menu embraces a selection
of suculent yiands suitable for the
most epicurian palate. If YOU dc
not see anything in it you want, ask
for it.''
The various Republican platforms
are like an old fiddle, yoa can play any
tune on them you please, from ths
most stringent pFohibitery enactment
to open saloons and the weed growr
) grave at the foot of the long lane of q
: debauefed and besotted career; il
means high tariff and low tariff; i
means everything aud it means moth
ing. What it actually does mean i.
, to latter, coax and deceive the peapi'
into voting the straight Republican
ticket, after which the dear people
J can repent at leisure
