CAMPAIGN OF ABCSE.

! Tie following are few Of the sweet
morsels to be found iii the past week in
| the columns of the papers published by
this pure and holy reform party which
are only samples of the kind Of cam
paign work the Peoples party newspa-
pers are doing:
The BelleviIe Freeman, the leading
Peoples party paper of northwest Kan
sas, refers to A. W. Smith in its last
issue as "cowardly blatherskite and
blatant demagogue, and speaks of a
slot of cowardIy skunks like A. w.
Smith who travel with such cattle as j.
r. Burton"
The Peoples Defender, the organ of
| the Peoples party of Cheyenne county,
says: THE Republican ticket is made
up of Dagos, defaulters and gamblers. :"
The Clay Center Dispatch, edited by
w. Vincent, who aspired to be the nomi-
nee of the Peoples party for governor,
says, ga. w. Smith is a great big
chump," and yet this great big chump"
was member of the legislature six
years, was unanimously chosen by the
Republicans speaker of the house OF rep
resentatiVes, was president of the state
| board of agriculture five years, was
president of the Kansas Worlds Fair
association and president of the national
farmers congress.
The Ottawa Journal, the organ of
State Printer Snow of the Peoples

common, everyday deadbeat and
pimp."
The Concordia Blade, the Peoples

considerable space to abuse of -. Rats
Burton, Fog Horn Smith, Bloody Shirt
Dawes and that other fellow, j. b. John
son"
The Lawrence Jeffersonian, the peo-
pies organ OF Douglas county, calls
Brunce Lynch ''scab, and concocts
| lie out of whole cloth to the effect that
he took the place of a Missouri Pacific
brotherhood engineer in the strike of
1877.
The Minneapolis Index. the peoples
organ of Ottawa county, states that
Smith gets big salary from the Santa
Fe company for his services. that he
makes his home at the SWEETEST hotel in
Topeka, and that his family spends
part of each year on farm to catch
votes every word of which the writer
of the article knew was false when he
wrote it.
Then comes the Alliance Advocate of
Topeka, which announces il is the
official organ of the peoples party OF
Kansas, and refers this week TO the Re-
publican ticket as follows:
The Republican ticket il surely
nauseatiug mess TO dish up TO honest
voters. \ soulIess demagogue for gov
ernoI: a defaulter and aiiround seoun-
drel for con gressman-at-large: j gambler
and a scab tradesmaH Tor treasurer
And in the Fifth. J. r Burton, whose
reputation smells loud enough 10 drive
dog out of a lanyard
A short time ago the Topics, which
was then the Peoples party organ Of
Shawnee county, had the following:
Ben Harrison is the most contempt
able, the most despicabIe, tie basest. the
narrowest and shallowest, the meansst
and most offensive fellow vino ever sat
in the presidential chair. There is not a
moral disease that be has nos in the very
worst form. He infects the AIR. He Is
gangreened 10 the very core. By the
necessity of has vile nature he hates any,
thing large. or great, or generous. or
decent. Ben Harrison X the chief night
scaEenger Of the political parties OF the
day. And indeed we are very lo'w when
any political party can he bought like
slaves 70 accept such an Egyptian hog IA
a candidate for president Ii shows thaG
the ultimate Of pIasocracy IS tie fiifh be
