lures. lie has met thousands of public

the approaching Presidential campaign.
"If' said he 1.-The new States of the
West go Republican and New York Shall
return to her Democratic allegiance, the
State of Kansas will hold the balance of
power. The third party movement is
not to be despised, especially in Kansas.
Its grip on that State is thoroughly
compact and unyielding. question
much if will be shaken for several wears.
If Kansas casts its vote for the third
party candidate the Presidential cleo
ton will go to the House of Represent
tatives, where each State, through it's
representatives, will have one vote, the
majority controlling. Since very large
majority of the States have a ma jority
of Democratic representatives in the
coming Congress-, that will insure the
election of a Democratic President.

HEWITT AGAINST TAMMANY.
NATIONAL ISSUES NOT AT STAKE.
LETTER WHICH ALL HONEST DEMOCRATS IN
THIS STATE SHOULD READ.

LETTER WHICH ALL HONEST DEMOCRATS IN
THIS STATE SHOULD READ.
Ex-Mayor Abram s. Hewitt is not the kind
of Democrat who believes that there is anything
in the National issues to be decided in next years
campaign which should interfere with members
of his party voting for good government and
against bad government this year. To his politi-
cal vision the issue this year is Tammany against
words that he is for Mr.. Fassett and against Mr.
Flower it is plain that this is the way he means
to vote. Mr.. Hewitt's acquaintance with the
habits of the Tammany tiger leads him to the
conclusion that Democrats who have at heart
the welfare of the State and city viii make u
great mistake if they allow questions not involved
in the canvass te prevent them from registering
their noGdemnation of the striped iniquity" in
its effort to extend it's rule over the Empire State
in replv to letter from William Hess. No: 400
Icxington-ave., asking the ex-Mayor's opinion
concerning the effect Mr.. Flowers defeat might
have on the next Presidential election Mr. Hewitt
wrote:
"New-York Oct 30, 1891.
william Hess, esq, No 1,4o9 Lexington ave.,

Dear Sir In reply to your letter Of the 27th
inst, am very willing to say that do not be-
eve that the defeat or election Of the Democratic
candidate for Governor will have the slightest in.
fuence upon the Presidential election next year.
You will readily zee that If we are to give our
votes in view Of future contingencies, without re-
gard to present conditions, we shall never be able
TO secure good government. The control now pos
scssed by machine politicians Will be perpetuated,
and the right of suffrage will lose its value and
the government Of the people, 1y the people ana
for the people will cease TO exist Yours truly.

and other sources. He says: 81 think 1t is
conservative estimate to say that the people
OF Kansas will sell within tho next year $10O.-
100000 worth Of stock and farm products
raised this year. I mean that that much OF
Kansas grain and stock will go outside OF the
State besides what We use ourselves. The
total corn crop OF the State this year will not
be less than 25O, 900 bushels. The acreage
is less than two years ago. because OF the In
creased acreage OF wheat in the western part
OF the State The poorest corn is In the north
western part Of the State, particularly between
Howard county and Emporn.
"In the Arkansas Valley and Cowley.SumneE
Harper. sedgwick. Reno. and KinGman coun-
ties the corn is simply immense. Inever saw
any such corn anywhere. There are fewer
hogs In the State this year. and for that reason
the bulk OF our corn must go to Eastern mar
kets. There are about 100000 head Of cattle
in the State In good condition. and arc worth
fully $GO.00O.000. The cattle which will be
shipped from Kansas this year will be better
fed and larger than usual. Many Of the farmers
in Kansas will get out Of debt this year."
