En-. AGIrAToR The g. o p. is at
work on the same old gag it has
employed during the last TWO cam
paigns in Kansas. Gov. Mckinley,
of Ohio, is on the card for importa-
ton for the Wichita reunion this
fall Two years ago, Harrison and
others were brought to Topeka.
Last fall, the gag law was in force at
the reunion in Chelsea Park, Kansas
City. These reunions are ostensibly
for the renewal Of associations form
ed in the tented field, but the g. o. p.
demagogues have resolved them into
partisan rallies. At Chelsea Park,
Congressman Baker attempted to
answer some of the misleading state
ments of one of the speakers, when
the partisan thugs cried out, "Dry
up !" "Pull him down ~ Put him
out I" and so on. The addresses
were nothing more nor less than Bit
ter partisan harangues. There were
soldiers of all political faiths there,
but, unless you were ready to bow
down and worship the g. o. p. calf,
you were cast out as evil They
are setting up the same thimblerig
game tor this fall. They call the
meeting an old soldiers reunion,
but the dirty tricksters will wear the
livery of Heaven and give the Devil
good service.

The following quotation was found
in one of Uncle Davy Barton's we'll
worn books. The old man was a
great student, and was we'll known
in Anderson county:
"Men seem to think if they have
cunning, the strength to heap unto
themselves immense fortunes, they
have right to it all. God never
granted such right to men). He
gave the lion strength to kill, but at
the same time He wrote divine law
in the lions instinct to kill no more
than he could eat. Man is more
cruel and unjust than the beast. The
beasts obey the divine law Of justice,
but man disobeys the divine law as
revealed in the Bible" !"

it since the 4th of March, 1889.
