SHALLOW AND SLICK, BUT
CORRUPT,

The motto of the Democratic-boss-
fusionists is anything to beat the COM
mon enemy" meaning the Republican
party; yet it is fact known to these
bosses that the calamity party in this
state has almost wholly been run by
country schoolmasters, by preachers
without congregations and by disap-
pointed small-fry politicians, nine out of
ten of all of whom had been Republic
cans, Greenbackers or third party pro-
hibitionists. And wherever these Pop
people have succeeded to victory through
local Democratic aid the Democrats have
not only been snubbed, but Alliance
papers have been started in opposition to
county Democratic papers. The Demo-
cratic editor who hopes that his paper
will become the organ of the combined
party in the event of fusion victory is
fool. The men who have been put IN
office in the state of Kansas by the ALI
ance party as a rule are the most uncon-
scionable hogs and corrupt set of
official hounds ever turned loose
on a free people. In all pub
lie expenditures where they have
the handling of the peoples money they
demand per cents and margins for them
selves before they will make contract.
Upon the other hand Alliance publishers
seem to think it legitimate to offer Off
Gals. in turn, q bonus on the side for
work on favorable terms. These calamity
demagogues have bowled corruption SO
long and so persistently against the Re-
publican party that they evidently have
not only come to believe what they
howled, but to think it the pepper thing
for the officers Of the party in power to
steal. The truth is the great body of the
Peoples party are honest enough, but
because of their prejudices, begotten of
adverse conditions, they have been made
dupes of by shallow but slick dema-
gogues.

NO DEMOCRAT IN 1T.

From the e. Dorado Republican.
There has been contest in Kansas be-
tween the Republican party and the
Democratic party since territorial days;
loud, long, furious and continuous. That
contest is now ended. The Democratic
Party has retired from the field of con-
test. There will be a campaign this fall
but the Democratic party will not be in
it. There will be no Democratic orators,
no Democratic speeches, no Democratic
meetings, no Democratic notifications, no
Democratic barbarcues, no Democratic
torch light professions, no Democratic
bands and banners, no Democratic news

ANOTHER DEMocRAT SPEAKS.

From the Topeka Sentiment
One of the best known Democrats in
Kansas is Judge James Humphrey OF
junction City, who was for many years
a member of the board of railroad COM
missioners in this city.
A high-minded and cultivated gentle
man, the soul of integrity and honor, a
ripe scholar, the opinion of Judge James
Humphrey has for years been held In
the highest regard by all who enjoy the
honor of his acquaintance.
Concerning the action of the recent
Democratic state convention, Judge
Humphrey expresses his opinion in Wig
orous English, as follows: THE Demo
cratic party of Kansas has cut its throat
and invited the Peoples party to feast
of blood" A year ago, In the Interest
of the state, casting partisan considera-
lions aside, the Republicans of Judge
Humphreys district joined with the
Democracy and elected him. Their
patriotic action in that and similar cases
Is fine contrast to the action OF the
Democratic state convention.

The editor of the Kansas City Gazette
in making good natured criticism OF
the EAGLES claim made for the hundred
men who stood by Murdoch in the state
convention, offers splendid showing for

the fact that solid portion of the dele
gates from Wyandotte were of the hum

AND THE CORN. TOO.

There are great fields of corn in Sedg-
wick county now in tassle and silk
which without another drop of rain will
make from forty to fifty bushels to the
acre. The rains of last Sunday and of
Friday aud yesterday absolutely insure
these fields, which, added to the mag
nifcent wheat yield already saved, and
the oats being harvested, makes calamity

the price of every acre in this favored
section of the great Sunfiower state.

BOUND TO BE A BIG CITY.

We guess that by this time all OF the
especial doubters and debaters OF the
United States have concluded that, con-
trary to the predictions of plunging spec
ulators who lost their money in the fren-
zied investments of wild hour, and
despite the wall of envious rivals and of
Missouri river influences, Wichita still
ranks as the first commercial city OF
Kansas.
This is conceded by every one in the
state who is at all conversant with the
facts, but if any interested one outside
of the state should, from any cause
or from any source of information doubt
the fact, his attention is respectfully
called to the bank clearing reports sent
out weekly from New York City and
published by the Associated Press. Two
weeks ago the bank clearings of this city
showed the phenomenal increase of 81
per cent over the corresponding week
for last year. Yesterdays reports again
for the week past showed the clearings
of Wichita to be $702. $4,000, or
an increase over the same week of last
year of 81 per cent. In this volume of
business there enters no speculative
transactions. 1t represents only and
purely Wichita's commercial life, being
strictly business pertaining to her mer-
camille, manufacturing, her livestock
and shipping interests. And these bank
clearings will, in the next few months,
show a still greater per cent of increase,
and from business already in sight.
Wichita is not only the best business
center in Kansas now, but no disinter-
ested business man can hesitate for a
moment, if he Will look into all the
things which have made it such center,
including that of its location with refer
ence to the Missouri river and other
centers, can fail of being convinced that
nothing short of a complete failure of
the grandest OF agricultural sections of
the entire west, including south Kansas
and Oklahoma, can keep Wichita from
sweeping ahead, steadily and irresistably
until she has attained the status of being
one of the most important trade centers
of the west.
The day for caviling and for doubling
is gone. All of the adverse agencies and
inimical forces to Wichita's Supremacy
have expended themselves, and the city
is not only as great as ever, but by indis-
putable evidence is growing and ex,
pan1ing. All of the selfish powers of the
Missouri River Traffic association, all oil
the naTowness and injustice of railway
arrangements, and all of the politica
hostility of other sections of the state
combined with the discouragiug talk
and futile efforts of those who lost theil
all through wild speculation, have no
been able 10 rob this bright city of DIES
tiny of the prestige and power that came
of the bounds of her natural advantage
of location and environment

The Cheney Herald, hitherto indie
pendent of party utilization, last week
came out squarely in support of the Re-
publican party and its nominees, national
and state. The clear-headed Maxey is
too discerning not to see the evil effects
the triumph of the anti-Republican COM
bination would have upon the state, and
is too deeply interested in the well-being
of the commonwealth to acquiesce, by
silence, in the schemes laid to secure
such triumph. His patriotism makes
him a partisan in the issue now joined.

with the average Peoples party man is
that he thinks the government is the

thinks the government is the boss, the
