GREAT CROWDS.
Col. Hallowell and Senator Long at Cheney
and Goddard-~Enthuslastic Township
Meetings.

Col. Hallowell spoke to big crowd yes
| terday afternoon at Cheney, and big
crowd last night at Goddard. At TIA,
Cheney meeting A. S. Marble was chair
man, and at Goddard, Jacob Rhodes. Bott
meetings were quite enthusiastic, and al
| Goddard the meeting was the largest evel
held in the town, as claimed by the lead
ing citizens of the vicinity. The colonel.
speech was often interrupted, and especial
ly was there enthusiasm when the docu
ments were read giving the lie to the false
statements of some red-nosed brazeu liars
who spoke at Goddard few evenings ago
State Senator Long, Of Medicine
Lodge, was the second speaker.
and was quite equal to the occasion in
keeping up the enthusiasm. Among the
attractive features is his diagnosis of Jerre
Simpson from political standpoint. He
shows how many parties he has belonged
TO within the last five years and few OF
the things he has advocated and recalls his
many efforts to get Office wherever he has
been. This is not only interesting but
quite amusing and are proved To be true
by documents from well known Democrats
who are engaged in business in Barber
county. The people are after some facts
and Senator Long is supplying the de-
mand.
IN GYPSUM TOWNSHIP.
A magnificent meeting was held at the
Franklin school house in Gypsum town
ship last evening. w. H. Hensley never
does things by halves He had thoroughly
advertised the meeting, and when the
speakers arrived the woods was full of en-
thusiastic Republicans From the number
OF vehicles and horses and crowds of people
surrounding the school house one would
have concluded a camp meeting was liz
full blast.
Mr.. Hensley promptly called the meet
ing to order at 7:30 o'clock and called Mr..
Willis Boyer TO the chair, who said that
although be was an excellent speaker, yet
he would not detain the meeting by a
speech. The people had assembled to havea
Republican love feast, and he thought it
best to begin at once. He introduced Mr..
A. NJ. Sturdevant. who spoke for more
than an hour and half. Mr.. Sturtevant
alluded to the Alliance in Indiana, and
said that they had kept out of politics;
that they nominated no ticket and, there
fore, kept their organization intact. He
then spoke of the Republican party as the
friend of the farmer. He reviewed the
legislation of the last congress: the law
against trusts and combines; the silver
bill In speaking of this bill he showed
how that under that bill the issue of legal
tender notes would 90 on at the rate of &c.
OOO,OOO per month until stopped by further
legislation by congress; bespoke of the anti
lottery bill, as having been enacted in
response to the wish of the people. He
also referred to the fact that the knights
of Labor had secured law making eight
hours legal days work in all govern
ment employ. He paid a splendid tribute
TO Col Hallowell and John j. ingalls,, and
said that the Republicans of Sedgwick
county would not be the men to forsake
either of these men. They were splendid
In referring to Col. Halo
well h. said that Col Hallowell had been
charged with not paying a note made by
him in Indiana. He learned that the note
was PAYABLE to man by the name of L.
Barnes, who was a member of the
knights of the Golden Circle, and
was one of the men that burned
the Hallowell mill by which Col.
Hallowell lost all he had in the world, and
Col Hallowell ought not to pay it, and
that the note had credit on it of Sl25
which did not appear on the note used
against him, he said that if Jerry Simpson
had to be defeated by such fraud as that
he would not help to defeat him and he
didn't think Republicans would be de-
ceived by any such Alarmist clap trap.
Mr.. Sturdevant closed his speech amid
cheers.
Mr.. p Rohrbaugh was then introduced
and spoke for more than an hour. He
spoke of the hard times and short crops as
a cause OF discomfort, which produced the
farmers political more and that this vast
body of men constituting Go per
cent of the people of Kansas,
meeting in every school house
aroused an ambition in the breasts of a lot
Of men who were disgruntled and sore be-
cause they could not get office in the old
parties, and saw a favorable opportunity
to ride into Office, who at once set about
TO drag the Alliance into politics, and in
nine cases out of ten these Alliance leaders
and orators were such men. He asked
the farmer to look about him and see if
his was not true He said no free people
would submit TO have their political rights
passed on in a secret caucus. Such politi- |
al organization Is dangerous instru-
nent in a free government, and no people |
will be more averse TO them than the farm

He then discussed the county ticket and |
ompared it with the two other tickets in |
he county. He said no Republican could |
ford to vote against these men as there |
vas not one of them who was not fully |
and trustworthy. He then /
ompared Jerry Simpson and Colonel Hal |
DWELL and eulogized Colonel Hallowell for |

aid the Republicans of the Seventh dis
riot would send him to congress and re-
urn John j. Ingalls, to the senate. Mr.

necdotes illustrating the points in his
peech, and the meeting closed with cheers
or Hsllowen and the Republican ticket.
No more enthusiastic meeting has been
