The new legislature will undoubt-
edly give us the reform ballot law.
With the g. o. p. system of voting the
g. o. p. will never be lin it" again in
Kansas. Mark the prediction.
The G. o. p. will no longer have the
Office holders to assess to raise means
to buy the elections. They will now
have to depend on private subscrip-
tiOns and mighty few of them at that.
The Peoples party men of the
Tenth Georgia district have raised
5000 to contest the congressional
election in behalf of Congressman
Tom Watson, who was defeated.
Gross frauds are charged.
The LeavenwOrth Times, Rcpubli-
can, admits that Humphrey, Antho-
ny, Billy Buchan and Others were very
bad characters and a dead weight on
the party. 1t is not sorry that such
rascals were relegated to private life.
The Republican papers are now ad-
mitting that Harrison forced his nom
inatiOn with his southern Office-hOld-
ers and was not the choice of the
party. They denied this before the
election, but could not deceive the
people.
1t sounds a little funny to hear
Chairman Sanders say that ''the cam
paign was made by the Republicans
entirely without the use of calumny
or villifying circulars" We doubt if
A. G. FOrney and Jerry Simpson coin
clue WIFI UlldG view.
1t transpires that the Australian
ballot system was the means of shut
ting out the Republicans in Califor-
MIA, Indiana, Illinois and elsewhere.
Could any stronger proof be given
that the GO. p. has perpetuated its
power by fraud and corruption?
Weaver has run for president once
or twice before. but this is the first
time he ever enjoyed the novelty of
getting any electoral votes. They
won't do him any good, however,
Monitor.
However, it does not argue any de-
cline in the movement. The third
time will be the charm.
The POpulists carried six states, viz,
Kansas, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, Wy
Oming and North Dakota: their cleo
toral vote aggregating 26. Harrison
carried 15 states with an electoral
vote of 12S. Cleveland carried "a
states, with an electoral vote of 29O.
The POpulists came within an ace of
carrying six other states. We will
get about "A states in 1896.
The Democrats got county attorney
for their share Of the fusion sp0ils
and lose what is of considerable more
Importance, their majority on the
county bOard.-MOnitOr.
Did you value its importance so
highly when you slaughtered that
good Republican, j. S. EppersOn, for
that good Democrat, John T. Stew
art?
The Democrats now have their Op-
portunity. If they wish to make
their party ''solid" with the people,
let them close the mortgage and take
ch arge of the Union Pacific railroad
as government property, reclaim the
public lands for actual settlers, in
crease the volume Of money and re.
duce the tariff taxation. II they do
not they may prepare to 90 the way
Of the z. o.. p.
1t is reported that the chairman OF
the Republican national committee
left New York with $4,000 debts un.
paid. Notwithstanding he had fund
of over six million dollars. Now
comes the report that the surplus in
the national treasury is quite low,
The same may be said Of the pockets
of the Republicans who contributed
to the corruption fund and who BET
on the election.
The Monitor is grieyed because
some of the Prohibitionists voted fol
Jerry Simpson. They evidently have
not forgotten Jerry Simpsons minor
ity report in the Cobb Where was
at" case. We cannot see any reason
why Prohibitionists should not be en-
titled to scratch their ticket in fayOl
of a good man as well as anyone else
even at the risk Of incurring Repub
