1t will be big gathering, because
the people are tired of buncombe, done
with rings and weary Of the old order
Of things.
It will be composed of earnest, de-
termined men, who have watched and
studied politics in Ford county, and
who are familiar with the work Of FORM
er campaigns.
The party to which those who attend
the Ford convention belong, has had a
remarkable growth in this county and
each day sees an increase in its MEM
bership.
The same constant influx of recruits
marks the movement here that has
characterized it all over the state, and
the same results will follow the Nov

The Bcst the Landlord Could Do Wss -
Confuse the Icy Breezcs.
All early Kansans and svery enc who
Travelled in the State in days gone by
remember ''Old sIcMeekin," who during
the years OF his prolonged life was the
genial host Of more hotels than any other
man, and once famous ns tie landlord
Of the In rtal Teft House IN Topeka,
whose could they speak, might
tell o story as thrilling If not as bloody
as those of the Bastile in the time 81
Rohespierre. In 1867, says the Kansas
City Star, MAC" was proprietor Of tho
Marshall House in Ellsworth, then and
for years afterwards the hardest" town
on the American continent. The
structure was veritable shell Of lume
Der, its partitions thin boards reaohins
only half way to the roof, so that or,
dinary conversation in any room could
be heard in any part Of the wretchea
building. 1t was always crowded, bow
ever, for business in the new ''city" was
lively.
One night In February of 1868. when
the wind was blowing fearfuily, The
house rocking like o ship OF sea and tte
cold 80 terrible that every thing liquid
on the premises was frozen solid, tho
snow sitting through every crevice until
it banked itself in great drifts on the

Haven't you got moro blankets,
landlord?' he appealingly chartered,
as Mac entered with dim kerosene
lamp in his hand. ''I'm almost chilled
to deathl''
''No," replied Mac. I'm awful sorry:
the house is jaunled full and every
thing is in use. But I'll see what can
do for you"
The willing landlord then went out
into wood shed, and returning in
few moments with piece Of a froaen
fsh-net about three yards long but tho
meshes Of which were four inches
square, threw it over the chattering
fellow with the remark: There, thas

THE OHIO CONVENTION.

The fact that the peoples party of
Ohio failed to put ticket in the field
is rolled as a sweet morsel under the
tongues Of the old party organs. Dire
predictions of disaster are made regard
ing the effect of this action on the peo-
pies party of this state.
But the predictions are founded, not
on a basis of fact, but ON deep seat
ed wish that disorganization will follow
our Ohio brethrens' action. 1t is the
old story of a drowning man catching
at straw.
\ casual glance at the proceedings
Of the Ohio state convention, leaves no
room for encouragement from the
course pursued by the peoples party
of that state.
To begin with, the vote for and
against putting state ticket in the
field, stood 64 to 63, showing an al
most evenly divided sentiment. Next,
even those who voted against entering
politics, were not by any means hos
tile to the third party, but they did not
consider the time op2ortune for the
launching of third state ticket.
Ohio spoke in no uncertain way re-
garding her feelings toward the third
party at the Cincinnati convention,
and the action of her delegates there,
should forever preclude the idea from
the minds Of members of the old par
ties, tie idea that the Buckeye state is
going to continue in her old political
grooves.
The statement that the action of the
Columbus convention will affect the
action of the third party of Kansas,
will cause smile Of amusement to ov-
erspread the face Of the peoples party
here With the government of two
thirds of the counties of the state in
our hands, and with converts coming
in in squads, plattoons and regiments,
it is highly probable that the move
ment will languish and die simply be-
cause members of the party in another
state do not think the time opportune
for putting state ticket in the field.

THE FORD CONVENrION

The convention which meets in Ford
City Saturday, promises to be one of
the most important political meetings
ever held in this county
1t will be the Initial step toward the
organization of the peoples party in
this county.
1t will signalize the drawing of par
ty lines-something that Ford county
has never done before.
True there have been tie two old
parties so-called, but the manner in
which political affiliations have been
cast aside during campaigns, makes
the statement that party fealty cuts
any figure in this county, travesty on
truth.
The Ford meeting promises to be
representative gathering. 1t will be
