A Matter of Integrity.

There is phase of the plesent politi-
cal crisis that has not been touched on
by the state press and that is The in
f1uence that will be exerted on invest
ors by the election to the legislature of
a majority of union labor. or peoples
party cranks. Kansas has been and is
still greatly dependent on borrowed
money. Scarcely any of the residents
of the state came here wealthy. AL
most everyone has been compelled to
at one time or another borrow from
financial institutions or private indi-
viduaIs. Our towns are built up by
investors money and the farms are i'm
proved and beautified.
Anything that tends to increase the
safety of loans increases the number of
investors and the amount invested.
Anything which tends to make loans
more unstable or less desirable by max
ing conditions for investors less secure
raises the price of money, or the inter
est paid, and causes the withdrawal of
large proportion of the investments
already made as soon as possible.
The peoples party, engineered by
such wifd-eyed dreamers as Elder, Will
Its. Wakefield and Davis, has ideas
Cd the subject of Investments and
loans which if they could dominate the
state legislature would prevent a
single dollar of capital crossing the
borders of Kansas for investment in
Kansas soil or improvements. The
state would take backward steps in
stead of forward. The helping hands
that have been held out would be with
drawn and the state would be re-
manded to the position where it was
20 years ago when interest rates were
double and triple what they are today.
1t is not consideration to be passed
over lightly. No individual, city OF
state can afford to have its integrity
questioned. Reputation or any action
which forfeits the confidence felt by
those more powerful is dangerous and
degrading. Kansas has taken pride in
keeping its promises. Because of that
it has received faYors which have en-
abled it to advance more rapidly than
any state in the union. 1t is not ready
to forfeit it all by the placing of any
part of its governmental machinery in
the hands of its enemies.

Insults Resented.
Goodbye, Willis, goodbye.

The woman, Mrs. Lease, who is tC
speak in the opera house tonight, is
being roundly roasted the state over
for her insults to the memory of the
union soldiers and leaders. The fol
lowing is specimen resentment of he1
insults:
WHEREAS, A woman who calls herself Mrs
Lease is now stumping the state of Kansas
in the interest of certain factions, and is at
tempting to SANDER the fair name, and is
maIiciously fals1fying the well known re-
cord of one of our deceased comrades whose
valor, fame and loyalty will for all time to
come grace the pages of history rs one OF
Gods truest and most loyal heroes, that OF
our gallant and brave General john A. Lo-
gan. Such sayings, Gas that he (Logan) was
for two years after the outbreak of the re-
bellion on pivot, or undecided as to which
side he would take" we know to be SANDER
Gus and untrue.
WHEREAS, At one of the public meetings
of the aforesaid factions, held at Whipple
school house, in Marion county, Kansas,
there was written on the blackboard, and
left during the speaking or meeting, the
most reasonable and malicious sentences
that disloyal persons could construct, viz
"That it would be better for the govern
ment if the Grand Army men were all dead,
would to God they had all died at Gettys
burg" therefore
Resolved, That we, the members of Lin
coin Post, No. /, G. A. R., department of Kan
sas, do resent and bitterly denounce such
malicious and false utterances and misrep-
RESERVATIONS as were made in regard to our
ever loyal comrade, Logan.
Resolved, That the brute who wrote the
insult to the "boys who wore the blue" should
learn that we are not quite all dead yet, but
live to fight just such foulmouthed rebels as
he, or those that hold to such traitorous
opinions. That all true and loyal men
should turn with scorn and contempt from
such brutes.
May the good Lord have pity onany party,
or set of people that avail themselves OF
such vile and disloyal means to furtheI
their interests.

John Davis as a Shvlock.

The Junction City Republican prints
the court records showing that John
Davis, great POlkite candidate for con-
greSs, apostle of low interest, etc., has
been loaning money to farmers in
Geary county at IS per cent INTEREST,"
The Republican says:
John Davis loaned to Annie Pole,
Mary Doyle and Patrick A. Doyle S115O
in money. He wanted TWENTY-ONE
PER CENT for the use Of it, secured by
farm mortgage In order to evade the
law, that allowed no greater rate in
1874 than II per cent, the note was
made for $3.50, adding as interest 500.
At the end of one year Davis wanted II
per cent on $3.50, or $50, this, with
the face of the note [$1250] making
81 400. He at the end of a year would
have $3.50 for the use of 81, $50 for a
year, or interest of more than 81 per
cent. Patrick A. Doyle, who is a
member of the alliance, is living in
county yet, and can be consulted as to
the correctness of the court records of
this county. Maj. Ketner, one of the
attorneys for the defense, is also famil-
lar with all the facts, and it is only
necessary to investigate for yourself.
What rotten set all around the peo-
pies party candidates are! 1t would
be public calamity to elect one of
them to Office in Kansas.

Governor Humphrey.

Abilene was hOnored today by the
presence of the chief executive officer
of the state, Governor L. U. Humphrey
and it was plain to see that there was
on all sides genuine regard felt for
him. Men of all parties united in do
ing him honor and all showed the re-
spect felt for him both as a man and
an officer.
The administration of Governor
Humphrey has been one of the best in
the history of the state. 1t has been
marked by straightforward business
like manliness that has commended
him to those of all parties and all be-
liefs. There has not come up in the
states affairs situation which Cover
nor Humphrey has not met fearlessly
and boldly. He has been found equal
to the demands in every case and has
both kept the state out of embarrassing
entanglements that might have ensued
from some fool friends advice but has
led into paths of prosperity and adj
yancement. His pen and his tongue
have time and again been used to defend
Kansas fair name from the calumnies
which have been put upon it. He has
been personally affable, approachable
and interested in his constituents well
fare az they came before him with their
personal petitions and requests.
All this and more has Mr.. Humphrey
done and We believe that no executive
of Kansas or any other state of the ma
ton has fulfil led his trust in hette

Willis Nailed.

Willis sister writes this letter In
regard to Perjurer Willis "explana-
tom of his robbery of his his dead
fathers estate:
MCLoUTH, October q, 1890.
TO the Chairman of the Republican, Com
nlittee:
l see in the Advocate in one OF John
Willis speeches that he procured my
husband a situation at the penltentlary
at his own expense. That is a lie. My
husband paid his own expenses and
gave him S35 besides. l will send you
the speech and you can see what it is.
[ write to you to contradict this state
ment in regard to my husband. In
haste. ANNA b. LINCICUM.
The physician whom Willis fraudu-
lently got to receipt an overcharged
bill writes this:
OsKALoOsA, Kas., October q.
Ihave received a number of letters
asking me if my affidavit in regard to
the Willis matter was true, and it has
been told me that the Whitewash outfit
that met here the other day, has told
that l went back on the affidavit. l
wish to say that the committee never
called on me, that the affidavit is true
in every particular, that j. F. Willis
obtained my signature to to his receipt
for twenty-five dollars by fraudulent
Misrepresentation. hope this will
satisfy all doubters. Yours,
J. W. BALSEY.

They are Leaving.

The officers and so members of Lawn
Ridge alliance, Jackson county, have
withdrawn from the alliance after
stating as follows:
We believe that in the organization
and building up of all orders and So
cletles there is a mutual pledge, the
order pledging certain reforms, the in
itiate, upon these pledges, giving his
support. The alliance as an order
through its accredited head pledges the
initiate that ''befure you proceed it
will be necessary that you take a SOL
emn obligation which l assure you will
not conflict with the freedom of your
religious or political views" and then
asks him, with this assurance are you
willing to proceed?"
1t is upon this assurance that every
man and woman has entered the order
knowing that the alliance has broken
It's pledge and that the order is fully
pledged to political action. The lodge
meetings are used to advance political
interests; the fees are used for politi-
cal purposes, and the great aim is to
destroy the republican party. We
hear scarce any fault found with the
democratic party, but always that the
g. o. p. has fulfilled its mission.
This is not the only instance; all
over the state the disintegration is go
ing on. by twos, by threes, by tens
the farmers are leaving each alliance
where there has been an attempt to
force the rotten candidates and princi-
pies of the peoples party upon the
members. The republican party is the
party of the farmer and of the people
and the Kansas residents know it.

widowed sister and her five children, a
young woman. with child in her arms

and before the judge had finished, had

this same widowed sister of Willis.
She says the report is all true enough.

The just reforms asked for by the
farmers alliance, says George Martin,
can never be obtained through a new
party nor by the democratic party
The strong element of progressive re-
form is found in the republican party,
and the surest way for the farmers to
come in control in legislative bodies is
to add their forces to the reform forces
within the republican party, and there
by control its nominations.

The republican party has called upon
him unanimously to be a candi-
date for reelection. He has accepted
the nomination and will lead all COM
petitors at the polls in November.
This is as it should be. He stands
pledged to all that is good for Kansas;
his opponents to all that is bad. He is
the sworn friend of temperance, of
prosperity and of the home. His Oppo-
nents are the presagers of the saloon,

Governor Humphrey and was glad to
