REPUBLICAN HOPES.

The Monitor attempts to figure out
a Republican majority in Kansas in
its last issue. Beginning as it does
by admitting that the Republicans
are in a minority Of $1,000, one would
judge it had quite a task on its hands,
and following on through all the ups
and downs of a column and half,
that belief grows into a certainty.
The first slice it cuts off is 10000, by
claiming that Ives majority of a.
44S is the proper size of the minority.
OF course We shall not be so unmerci-
full to an under dog" as to dispute
about little matter of 10000. nor
shall we question the principal cause
it assigns, when it says, "the Repub-
licans were frightfully demOralized
by the late Senator Plumb's attitude
on the currency and tariff questions. 9
1t does look a little mean. however.
to try to lay it on the dead. But
since Plumb said himself that he
went as far as he dared to go without
breaking with his party, We see no
reason why those who went clear over
to the side of the people will want
to get back into the old ship and put
the party shackles on again.
Our neighbor also finds consolation
in the fact that there is always an
Immense reserve Republican vote
which never appears in any minor
contest" 1t cites that in 1884 the

this week after a brief and troubled
existence, Editor KieS claiming that
his promised support in the way OF
subscribers failed to materialize. We
hope Editor Naugle, who has a good
deal t. say when any misfortune over
takes Republican paper, will give
this fact the publicity it deserves

Editor Naugle advised against the
daily project, fearing that the elias,

pies party, could aOt find it convent

There is no evidence in this to prove
a decline in the Peoples party. The
circumstances were entirely different
from old party newspapers. Dozen,
of Republican papers have come Ovel
to the Peoples party outright, but
where is the Peoples party paper
that has travelled the other way?

On Wednesday of last week three
young men, W. c. and Harry Bryant,
Of Pratt Center and Mr.. BeaSley, OF
Burden, were arrested on complaint
of W. E. Murphy, the piano and organ
dealer here. Some few days before,
the young men had driven in here
with a fine running horse, coming
from Pratt Center. They stopped,
keeping their horse in a feed stable
and had matched and won one race.
The horse is a very fine animal and
when Mr.. Murphy caught sight of it,
he claimed to recognize it as Niger
Babe" owned four years ago by Park
er & Anderson at Burlington, Kan
sas. At that time Mr.. Anderson start
ed on tour through the state with
the horse and at Wichita both he and
the horse disappeared and have never
been hoard of. Mr.. Murphy tele.
graphed Mr.. Parker, who came here
and positively identified the horse.
Then came the trouble Of settlement.
The young men who came here with
the horse show proofs of being young
men Of good character and they had
undoubtedly purchased the horse in
good faith, never dreaming of such
trouble. Mr.. Parker finally agreed Il
give or take and compromise the mat
ter in that way. Bryant paid Parker
$50 and took the horse again.
