ANIMAL DISSEOTED.

Affairs-An Entbusias-
tic Crowd.

| Chairman OF the County Central Commit
tee L. +. Allen, accompanied by Judge
Sluss, Judge Wall, r. r. Vermilion and
j. II. Mercer reached the stage they were
given an enthusiastic reception. The
crowd in size was as large as the hall
would accommodate TO the best advantage.
Chairman Allen presented as chairman
of the evening Mr.. r. r. Vermilion, who
was received with applause. Mr.. Yer
million said the meeting was the purpose
of discussing the issues of the present cam
| paign. From a comparison of platforms
and from a comparison Of the tickets he
could not see why any Republican would
| fail to support the ticket this year. The
opposition comes up this year as in almost
every other year. in slightly different
| form, but is the same old Democratic
| party.
Judge Wall being presented was received
with enthusiasm, and he said he had
thought he was not to speak, but to simply
| accompany Judge Sluss and Mr.. Vermilion
to the stage. But he could certainly say
he was a Republican, and he believed the
party could meet every exigency com
ing up from the people. The party
has the craftsmanship and genius to solve
all great principles in the interest of the
American people. He could not consent
to leave the party because of some local
trouble. Had the state party declared for
resubmission he would have been Re-
publican still. Had the county party fav-
Ored prohibition he would have been Re-
publican still. The local issues should not
interfere with the great foundation of Re
publicanism. The time would come when
Kansas would blossom as the rose and it
would be as difficult to find a man who
had deserted the Republican party as it is
to find "A man who sent substitute to the
war He woul be glad to compare Lyman
L. Humphreys administration to that of
Charles Robinson. 1t was a wonderful
thing that a man should loan money if he
was a Republican but Robinson had been
at the head of a busted bank. The Demo
Gratis had a banker for treasurer on the
state ticket. In the county MathewsOn, a
banker, against George L. Douglass and
the representative candidate in the Eighty
third district by the Democrats a banker.
In the great Seventh Congressional dis
trict the opposition man is absolutely OBJ
scure, and ought to be. His record ex-
planned why he was obscure With such
record he certainly ought to be allowed to
remain obscure lie had too much conf
dence in the intelligence Of the people to
think for a moment that Simpson would
be elected Certainly Sedgwick county
would remember its gallant soldier and
brilliant representative who is a candidate
for congress
The speaker quoted Robinson, when he
fore the Alliance at Topeka, said, This
question Of resubmission should be left in
the background" This was a statement
that should cause honest "Reminiscences
to hesitate before casting vote for
him. The speaker, referring to the
county ticket, was cleverly cleared. |
The record of Douglass showed him true
to every interest in which the people were
Interested
Judge Sluss was received with enthusi |
asm. The judge stated that in his cam
paign work he had heard very little about |
national issues. Everything was mainly |
local The chief question before the audi |
ence was what would be best to Wichita |
and Sedgwick county. The city and coun- |
ty inseparable, what benefits one benefits |
the other. Reaching out further, the in |
terests of the entire southwest in common. /
The towns and counties in the great south
west are becoming more and more inter
ested commercially.
The local issues this year of more i'm
portance than whether or not free sugar
comes this year but Is delayed until next.
There was but one way to get. /
in the future free sugar and
free barbed wire fence and |
that way is through the Republican party.
The time is coming when the two precious
metals would be the money of the people
There was but one organization that
would accomplish this end. The speaker
referred TO the fact that more had been
in the last six months in the
right line than 10y all the kicks ever made
by any organization in the country
Referring to local affairs the speaker de
nounced the rumors that any one faction
was going to leave the local ticket. He
himself intended TO take the whole thing
Each one wanted to so act that he could
i e in Wichita comfortable many years
ret Wichita should remember her
friends The city had a friend in John J.
ingalls, and certainly Wichita would not
urn against him The city would stand
)ut for him.
\ voice-What has ingalls, done for us?
Judge Sluss-I don't know who you are.
don't know where you come from but
10 know no man anywhere knows what
he man who asked that question has
lone This was greeted with cheers.
The voice. did not ask you what did
nut what Ingalls, did?
Judge Sluss-Auy man in this broad
hoe /
writes himself an ass and tonight have
lot time to teach the political alphabet.
The speaker then urged the support of ,
he representative ticket which would sup
Ort Ingalls, for the senate. The distin-
.uished senator had secured many pen /
ions for widows in Wichita and Sedgwick {
ounty and in the great state. He had I
lso demonstrated that disloyalty was {
reason. {
Wichita wanted more than a friend in !

cen heard to say he loved the flag of c
anarchy more than the flag Of this coun- y
