Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-09-29

CAPT. G. A. POWER, who was ad-
vertised to speak at Garnett, Tuesday,
appeared as per announcement, and
addressed large audience on the liv-
ing issues of the day. An effort was
made to keep the old soldiers from
hearing the speech, but, we are glad
say, there were many of the old boys
who had the independence to 60 and
listen. They exhibited the same in
dependence in this that they did in
fighting for their country. 1t is cer-
taiDly pleasure to know that there
are so many of the old heroes who do
not wear the dirty party collar, The
speaker handled his suject (or sub
jects) in a mastery manner, and gave
his hearers many new thoughts to
ponder over. We wish that every
citizen of Kansas could have heard
the address. IT all of those who have
heard him, and will hear him before
the campaign is over, will take the
trouble to investigate the charges he
brings against the present admins
tration, they will be convinced of the
truth of his charges, and the boasted
"82, 600" Republican majority in Kan
sas will melt away like snow under
the warm rays from the sun, Capt.
Power showed up John j. ingalls, IN
all the blackness and hideousness of
his damnabY rotten character-and
he had the documents to prove every
charge he made. Each time the speak
er scored point against ingalls, he
was applauded to the echo. The peo-
pie have tired of ingalls,, and they
will elect men to the next Legislature
who will see to il that our fair state
is no longer disgraced by him.

Don't Leave the G. o. p.
Tune, Going to the Shucking.l
Oh what's the matter. farmers,
Oh! what's the matter now?
WHAT'S the use of all your growing
And kicking up such row?
just tell lis wha: your wanting,
You shall have it right away
If you will only keep out of. politics,
For it will never do, We say.
Chorus:
Don't leave the grand old party!
Don't leave the grand old party!
Don't leave the grand old party
Now, we say, now, we say.
But trust it just once more,
But trust it just once more,
But trust it just once more,
Now we say, now we say.
Oh what's the matter, farmers?
just tell us what to do.
You shouldn't go into politics,
We will have it done for you.
We know that you are honest
And noble band,
But do not 60 into politics,
For you don't understand.
Chorus:
You know you're wanted on your farm,
Your corn and beans to grow,
And If you 60 into politics
Who will be left to sow
Your clover and your timothy,
Your wheat and other grain?
Now don't go intb poiitics,
For IL really is shame.
Chorus:
We will run the country for you
As we've done heretofore,
So don't go into politics
But give lis chance once more.
Don't break the &. o. D. up
But vote 'er straight again,
Your going into politics
Really gives us pain.
Chorus:
We have given you protection,
Now passed the silver bill;
Well give you ANYTHING you ask
If You will only just keep still.
Didn't we have committee appointed
TO find out what's the matter?
Now don't go into politics
And the g. o, p. scatter.
Chorus:
We beg of you now, farmers.
TO stick to your farm and plOw;
We hate to see you swindled
BY going into politics now,
For the Democrats are asking you
TO vote and let them in,
And the way they'll cheat and rob you
Will really be sin.
Chorus:
The g. o. p. is now in power;
Stick to it now, we pray,
And vote their nominations
On election day.
You know the Democrats are rogues;
You know that we are true;
And if you'll try us just once more
Wen PROMISE anything to you.
Chorus:
We gave you package houses,
It's your own fault you did not drink;
Now don't you see we are your friend
If you will only stop TO think?
So don't 90 into politics,
Now mind just what we say,
But vote the grand old party ticket
On election day.
