Jones was then called upon, and
addressed his old neighbors of this
township in a manner which can leave
no doubt about his meaning. The alli-
ance, he says, will easily carry Barton
county by 800 majority, and he is in q

attorney, Mr.. Hotchkiss, then followed
with a lengthy address, the eloquence,

movement, and from the small circle
of his individual observation he can
only see alliance men, or men who pro-
TESS the alliance principles. If his
hind sight is not somewhat better than
his foresight. after he counts the
returns and finds not all men vote as
they talk, then we will acknowledge
that we are mistaken. Monday of this
week we talked with a resident Of
Clararce township who said: 81 am
an alliance man, and most of them
think am going to vote that way; but

Editor DKNoCRAr.
desire through the columns of your
paper, to call for information from the
editor of the Register as to why and by
what authority he calls me Daddy. II
In the issue of the Register of October
10th leading editorial begins this way:
Daddy Twins has got on high horse,
and we are told by good alliance men is
trying to boycott the Register"
Now, if Caraway has the right to cal
me daddy, if he knows more about the
matter than do and can explain how i,
comes about that am his daddy, when
l was resident of Pennsylvania at the
time he became a native of Indiana,
would like him to explain.
All my boys go by the name of Twins,
and if anyone of them is falsely mas
querading under the alias of Caraway,
I want to know it. The name of Car
away at the head of the Register has
come into bad repute of late, and if the
man who bears it really has the right to
call me daddy l want him to take his
true name at once, and rid himself OF
the odium attached to the name he at
present goes by.
At the close of the article above
quoted from he says: "Misrepresenta-
ton never hurts" In this case it does,
it hurts me to think that man who calls
me daddy has made such a consumate
ass of himself in the minds of all intelli-
gent readers.

several men ten rs who know the man
well. He is also , traitor to all politi-

themselves against resubmission. Mr.,

his allegiance to anarchy, said the

Mr.. Voigt delighted the audience by

| Have you heard of the grand demo

time last week, which was so extern
sively advertised? It consisted of
fve(5) absolutely Interchangeable alliance
men, who attended for the purpose of
observing the s'plan of CAMPAIGN" in
order to be better able to out-general
the enemy, three 81 democrats. But
as the time Wore on, and the great
orators appeared not. the vast, enthusi-
astic assemblage wended its way sadly
and wisely homeward with no difficulty
at all.
In striking contrast with the above
was the peoples meeting last Saturday
evening. Between seventy-five and 100
persons were present, the most of

was kept at high pressure throughout
the evening. Mr.. Brewer first took the
floor. and clearly defined his position
upon the leading questions of the day.
Mr.. Harrison followed with a short
address, which convinced all that he
is the man we need. Mr.. McTapgart

worth working for in Kansas. Jerry
will get all the alliance vote, some of the
conservative republican vote. and most
all the democratic vote in.this district.
1t is true there are few democrats. so
called, who profess that they would
rather see republican victory than a
republican defeat, and are working for
Hallowell. But their number is small
and their inconsistency is so apparent
that their influence will not be great.
Jerry Simpson, should he go to con-
gress, will never vote for force bill,
will never support the Tom Reed out
RACES, and will not lend his voice and
his vote to place additional burdens
upon Kansas farmers and Kansas
working men for the benefit OF eastern
money powers. Vote for Jerry.

The Hutchinson News of the 2Sd

the meeting of the democratic congress
sional committee in Hutchinson when
Jerry Simpson was endorsed. OF
course the News was solicitous for the

was given to telling its dear republican
readers how s'bad the move would be
for the democrats" They are not
scared about the princes" chances?
Oh, no! They are only rattled-but

CARAwAY seems to think that the
DEMOCRAT, like the Register, is max
ing fight on the peoples party move
ment. We addressed few remarks
commencing Every voter in Barton
county," and Caraway comes flying
back with ''How do the peoples party
men like that6'' and I'VE told you so. y
From his argument one would be led to
believe that there were no voters in the
county outside of the peoples party;
and so far as his party is concerned
there are mighty few. When we
have any thing to say to the voters of
Barton county it is to ALL voters,
regardless of party.

WE WANT to impress this idea upon
the minds OF our readers who believe
that the prohibitory laws of Kansas,
as at present administered, are snare
and farce and a detriment to the good
and prosperity Of our state, viz: The
republican party is giving over all
other argument in the state campaign
but that of prohibition. They are
flooding the country with circulars
calling upon all people of all parties
who are in favor Of prohibition to come
out of the other parties and vote for
their candidates; saying that it is now
a life struggle between Temperance
and whiskey." They are leaving no
stone unturned to make their pet hob
by win. Look about you and see if
you do not know men who have here
tofore been with you, who, at this last
appeal, will vote for the old crowd and
prohibition. Investigate the situation
carefully and see if you are not liable
to be left in the soup if you do not
cast your vote for the success of the
resubmission ticket, which success
means retirement of the old corrupt
gang and submitting to vote of the
people the vexed question of prohibit
ton.

THE managers of the peoples party
have the same privilege that all others
do, to place their posters in the post
office, but after boycotting the Register,
it might haved been as well to ask the
privilege as all others do. They would

do we object to the same, but we prefer
to see men open, manly and free, and
not ashamed of what they do.-Regis-

Or, is it the property of the govern

matter.

For Lieutenant. Governor.

Editor Of Waterman The whole state is
in travail, giving birth to its next governor,
but the second place on the ticket fails to
demands; not, however, from an unwilling
ness on the part of aspiring politicians to
take the place, even when shorn of the
glamour of sure promotion at the end of
two years. Even though the lieutenant
governorship is sure to be the political grave
of the incumbent, there are plenty who are
willing to be buried. The man who pre-
sides in the senate is any day liable to be
called to guide the affairs of the state, and
should be as worthy of the highest Office as
the man we put there. | wish to call atten-
ton to the name of a man who would per-
form the duties of Acknowledgements with
ability and with grace, and who, If by any
chance the higher office should fall upon
him, is abundantly able to maintain the
honor of the state as its governor. This
man is the Hon. f. G.. Field of Springfield.
Mr.. Field has served with distinction in
both houses, where he won the respect of
all and proved himself wise legislator.
He is well informed as to the affairs of the
state, has wide circle of acquaintance, is
a man of ripe Judgment and sound common
sense, is of pleasing address and is an able
presiding officer. He is successful mer-
chant and farmer and a man of unsullied
character and integrity. He is in sympathy
with the people and we'll acquainted with
their needs He is one who believes in
conducting public affairs on business priu-
ciples and with economy, which should be
the watchword in this campaign.

Windham County Speaks.

Editor of Watchmdn.-Your article of last
week relative to our representative in con-

number in Wndham county would say,
struck the nail on the head" Without
saving anything about General CIRCUITS fail
ings, he has held the position long enough
that we need in congress more " business
capacity" will meet the approval of every
sensible man. Colonel Hooker has shown
in every place of trust to which he has been
called by his felow-citizens a certain in
ability, that insures not only satisfaction
but success. Windham county thinks she
has a right to ask for the next representa-
tive in congress, and the writer believes she
will go to the convention solid for Colonel
Hooker. WINDHAM COUNTY.
