DEAR 9R This committee, appointed no tn0

tember, 1890, fully realizes the great responsible
10y resting upon Its shoulders, and, responding TO
the wishes Of the leading Republicans OF Kansas
who appreciate the political situation, have es-
tablished permanent headquarters In this city,
at the address given above.
The necessity Of organization no one can dis
pute The enemies OF Kansas have combined
against the Republican party the natural and
only guardian Of the citizens, the credit the
glory the splendid past and magnificent future
OF the sunhOwer state, and all over its broad
plains are 10 day organizing for the purpose OF
striking down an chat the loyal and honorable
portion Of people hold most dear. To meet and
overcome this dlsaheCted, dishonest and traitor
GUS element, the Republicans Of Kansas must
put their shoulders 10 the wheel, and by Organl'
zation and intelligent labor again restore our be-
loved commonwealth 10 the position 10 80 lately
held In the galaxy OF states. Every one must
readily see that these results can only be obtain
ed by united efforts.
In view OF the Importance OF the next preslden-
ta election, and also OF the election this year as
bearing on the great national contest that is ap-
preaching, the wisdom Of thls determination
will be apparent 10 an. To establish and main
tain permanent headquarters, 10 collect and dis
tribute political llteraturei do the preliminary
work In aid Of local organizations prepare lists
OF the Republican voters Of each county, and do
all other necessary work
The committee does not ask for or expect q
large individual contribution from yOu nor from
any save those enjoying remuneratlve positions
given them by the Republican party. What we
desire Is, that you consult with your Republican
friends, regardless OF former differences and
collect such sum as each feels able 20 contribute,
even though the amount be only nfty cents Re-
publican county officials serving their first term
should be glad to lend us substantial aid
We estimate that the Republicans Of your
county eau contribute, In the manner suggested,
nc least S..... All contributions to be sent to
the Hon. Samuel Howe, treasurer Of this conf
mlttee, Topeka Kansas, who will promptly ac-
knowledge receipt Of the same.
JOHN II. SMITH, w. II. BUCHAN,
Secretary Chairman.
Messrs. Buchan, Howe and Smith
have mustered sufficient courage to
proclaim that Republican county
officials serving their first term should
be glad to lend us substantial aid"
being among those enjoying remun-
erative positions given them by the
Republican party.
1t is a matter of fact, that next No
vember-eight months after sending
forth Of this most piteous appeal TO
Republican Office holders, and to in
dividual Republicans, "as each feels
able to contribute, even though the
amount be only fifty cents" there
will be elected in the state 1O6 county
clerks, treasurers, sheriffs, c0roners,
surveyors, registers of deeds and
county commissioners, and 10 judges
of the district court; but really how
many of them have the Republican
state central committee hopes of
electlng'
