ct as usual.
The opposition is carrying Allen
county right along these days. 1t al
ways does in September and October.
| The Presidents letter of acceptance
appears in full in this paper. 1t is
long, but it will well repay a careful
reading. 1t is certainly an irrefrag-
ible statement of the Republican
position.
Judge Graves, who spoke at the
Opera House last night, will speak at
Humboldt tonight and at Moran to-
morrow afternoon. We hope he will
be greeted with large audiences at
both places.
II. :. Slower, +. II. Barber and r. H.
Bennett addressed Republican meet
ing at LaHarpe Monday night. Ow-
| ing to a misunderstanding of the no.
/ tice given, there was not a very large
| turnout, but it was a good meeting
and the speeches were all well re-
ceived.
| platform reads as follows:
RcsOIred That we commend TO the thought
| full consideration of the people and the reform
press the legislative system known as the init.
/ alive and referendum.
Will not some of our Allen county
statesmen take day off some time
and tell us what that means?
Mrs. Laura Johns, one of the most
eloquent women in Kansas, will make
a Republican speech at the Opera
House next Monday evening. One of
her objects in coming here is to organ
ize Ladies Republican Club, and it
is therefore hoped that large num-
Der of ladies will be present.
4. c. Scott will be here for visit
next week and has consented to adj
dress the Republican Club at its next
meeting. Thursday, Sept ~. There
will be music by the band and Glee
Club and all are cordially invited to
attend,
Il have been n Democrat all my
life" remarked an Elm township
man the other day, "but / am begin
ming TO lose faith little. When the
Democrats in Congress made no effort
whatever to repeal the Mckinley bill,
although they had $50 majority, it
begins to look to me as if the Republic
cans must have the tariff fixed about
right"
We noted last week the return of
Benz. Matchett, one of the leaders in
the Alliance house of Representatives,
to the Republican party. This week,
on another page, we publish the reas-
Ons which he gave in public speech
for his conversion. 1t would seem as
if the same reasons must compel every
honest and patriotic citizen to repud-
late a party that had fallen so far
short of performing what it promised.
1t is already evident that the OPP
position in this county will cOncen-
trate all their attacks upon the Re-
publican candidates for Senator and
County Attorney. From now until
the close Of the campaign these men
will be assaulted with every possible
weapon, in the desperate effort to
drive away from them enough Repub-
lican voters to elect their opponents.
The fight may be aggravating, but we
have no fear that it will be effective.
The Republicans of Allen county are
going in for straight fight this year.
They know that if they stay by their
ticket they can elect it from top to
bottom. And they are going to stay
by it.
Republican meetings to be address,
ed by the speakers named will be held
