known before. Everybody admires Blaine
everybody admires brains. / hope to
live to see him made president. He would
give this country an administration chat
would be statesmanship through and
through.
J. w. Rush, of Pawnee-I have for years
been Blaine man, and am for him now.
believe he is going to be nominated. The
people want him; he is stronger to-day than
ever before, and unless he positively refuses
he will be the man. think he is stronger
than Harrison and can be elected easier.
John Schilling, of Brown--It looks very
much as though Harrison would be the
nominee.
Edwin Tucker, Of Observation-Disclosures
it seems to me, is to be the nominee again.
/ consider him az strong man as could be
nominated. Everyone will admit that
Blaine would arouse more enthusiasm, but
Harrison has elements of strength that
Blaine does not possess. In sCme Of the
doubtful places he would be much stronger
than Blaine. His administration challenges
che closest scrutiny. It has been good all
the way through.
o. s. Woodward, of Woodson--It seems
to me that il is pretty well set
tied that Harrison will be the nominee.
believe the Republicans Of the whole Coun-
try concede that he is giving us good ad-
ministration and will be for him in 1892.
We have no excuses to make for hina-no
defense of any kind. He has clean record
and creditable record and one that will
bear the closest inspection. His speeches
are simply wonderful. In my opinion he
has no equal in this country in this respect.
As much as he has talked in public, he has
never made break-never an utterance
that could be criticised. Harrison is q
statesman and his administration shows IL.
J. X. Wright, Of Geary-It is hard to say
at this time who will be the Republican
nominee, probably Blaine or Harrison. I
believe that Harrison is growing every day
in the estimation Of the people. He is a
great man and is making good president.

he thinks is about right, and refuses TO be
pulled and hauled around. That's the kind
of man Harrison Is. They say he is stub
born, but | admire him for it. Blaine is a
grand man. He probably comprehends the
wants and needs Of the country better than
any other man in it, and yet 1t might be
that he would not made as good president
as Harrison.
The opinion of these Senators may be
regarded as representative OF the Benti-
ment OF the remnant Of the once grand
old Republican party Of Kansas, which
in quarter Of century has dwindled
from the "banner" Republican state, hav-
ing had 817 per cent. Of the popular
vote, and at the last election coming
down TO 80 per cent. of II. With It's
great claim Of $4,000 majority for Hsr-
rison and Morton in 1885," Il is now en-
gagged in q solemn whistling TO keep its
courage up on vain and vanishing hope
on the part of the majority Of these de-
parting senators that Harrison and Nor
ton-the indianapolis lawyer and the
New York and London banker-can
once more successfully humbug the
plain, common people Of Kansas and Of
the great American nation. But patriotic,
sagacious citizens in all parts Of our COM
mon country are looking for naught but
Waterloo OF the highest political order,
for this precious pair Of capltalistlc plu-
tocrats, who were half q million behind
in the popular vote at the election In
1888, and who would be morally certain
to be millions behind in the great, grand
awakening Of the plebeians Of the land,
which will culminate in November, 1899,
in political and personal disaster to Re-
publicans that might be compared with
