He instanced the beneficial work of
Congress in the enactment of the pork
inspection, the ANTITRUST, the original
package and the deep harbor bills, oil
of which are valuable measures, the
good effects of which are already being
manifested.
He said he did not condemn the Re
publicans who had gone into the third
party-they had been misled, misrep-
resented and lied to. The thing
for which the third party was
created was to install Democrats
in office and to disintegrate the
Republican party. There were but
twoparties in t'.e field-the Re
publican and t. Democratic, and
thatths success of 'ie Democratic party
meant the defeat OF the Republican.
The speech throughout was logical,
sensible and one of the most powerful
presentations of Republicanism ever
delivered In Allen county. Itwas GER
tainly the ablest and most forcible
speech Mr.. Funston has ever made
here, proving that his training in Con-
gress has broadened and strengthened
his grasp of public affairs and that he
is growing man. At its conclusion
he was warmly congratulated, by per-
sonal friends, while the applause Of
the audience testified the approval Of
all who heard him.
In the evening the Opera House was
crowded to overflowing with an audi
ence which felt itself richly repaid for
Its attendance by the strong:and logic
al argument presented by Hon. A. w.
Smith, of Mcpherson. Mr.. Smith con-
fined himself mainly to the tariff ques-
ton, and his presentation of 1t was
certainly one of the strongest ond most
complete ever heard in lola.
Altogether the meeting was a splen-
did success. 1t was the largest in
point of numbers held by any party
in the county in this campaign, an ac-
tual count of the people at the grove
showing an attendance of not less than
$500, and it was hearty and enthusi-
astic. 1t demonstrated conclusively
that the Republican party still holds
its place in the affections Of the people,
and 1t left no doubt of the result In
November.

AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE
The State Republican Central Commit
Accent The Isspe.

The State Republican Central Committee
Accept The Issue.
The Republican State central COM
mittee has promptly accepted the is
sue forced upon the people Of Kansas
by the original package decision, and
has issued the following address to
the,yoters of the State:
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN,
STATE CENTRAL,COMMITTEE,
Topeka, Kansas, Oct. IL, '90.J
To the People OF Kansas.
We are to-day confronted by de-
cision of the circuit court of the United
States for the district of Kansas that
destroys every vestige of our legisla-
ton for the suppression of rum holes
and the control of the liquor traffic.
This court decides that our prohibitory
legislation, having been enacted before
the passage of the so-called "Wilson
bill, -; is unconstitutional and void.
The practical effect of this decision Is
10 allow original package whiskey sa-
looms to be opened in every locality in
State. The court says in the opinion
now on file: "It must be conceded,
that as the right of the State to treat
such article of commerce as subject to
Jaws passed by the State In exercise
Of the police power comes for the first
time and alone from the enactment of
the Wilson bill, Until the State passes
law hereafter forbidding such traffic,
it has never exercised the power, dis
cretion (call it what you may lodged
in it by Congress"
In view of this decision 1t behooves
the temperance men of the State, and
every earnest and loyal Republican, to
go to the polls on the day of the cleo
ton and vote and work for the election
of candidates for the House OF Rep
resentatives, in your respective dis
tricfs. who will promptly on the con-
vening of the next session re-ensct,
word for word, and line for line. every
provision of our legislation prohibiting
the manufacture, sale and use of in
toxicating liquors, and for the election
of a Governor who will approve it.
This is the vital, overpowering issue
of the campaign. The Republican
State Convention 80 declared, and
now the federal judiciary have DEM

lies 80 near the western farmer and the
people of Kansas In all their necessl-
ties and In the field of their prosperity
as q people and individuals az does
the committee on agriculture. AS
chairman of this great committee Mr..
Funston has proven himself worthythe
confidence of his associates who plac-
ed him there, and has justified the
confidence which the people have
placed In him by their selection and q
denomination for fourth term. Out
side of and beyond his duties as chair
man of this committee and member
of other important committees, he has
done vast amount ofindividual work
for old soldiers, by the hundreds, In as
sisting and forwarding their claims for
pensions, both before the commissioner
and In Congress. The indefatigable
labor and faithfulness with which he
has watched over the interests of the
old soldiers, not only Of his district,
but of the entire State, and we might
say of the United States, have earned
for him the generous and enthusiastic
support Of every one ofthose old heroes
who have vote to give and they are
men who do not forget their
friends. when the occasion Of
substantial remembrance presents
itself. Mr.. Funston has been
the warm friend of Fort Scott,
having forwarded her interests upon
every available occasion, and it is
almost solecism to say that he can
and will do more for us than either of
his ompetitors could hope to, were
they to he elected to Congress.
Or on the great national ques-
tions' Of the day, he represents the
views of the great masses of tine
people Of Kansas as does not either Of
the other gentlemen who are his conf
petitors. That his election is certain,
cannot be doubted, but 1t remains for
the Republicans to make his majority
credit, both to him and themselves.

HON. e. III. FUNSTON.

Fort Scott Monitor.
Mr.. Funston is now before the people
of the Second congressional district
for the fourth time for election to Con.
gress. Unlike both of his competitors
he has made record in the halls OF
Congress and that record is one of re-
spectacle attainnents as q Congress-
man, and Of untiring labor i'm the
interests and service of the peo-
pie of his district. Going to
Congress as an inexperienced man In
that great field of work and contest
where the many fail, and the few sue
csed, he has achieved the distinction
OF the chairman of the committee on
agriculture, one of the most important
aid responsible of the house. Indeed
it is doubtful II any other committee
