Simpson and Otis.


From the Chicago Inter Ocean,
The Peoples party in Kansas has re-
nominated Congressman Jerry Simpson
and refused to renominate Congressman
Otis. The trouble with Otis was that
ne took his calamity campaign of two
years ago as serious and tried to fulfill
the promises he made. Simpson was
shrewd enough to see that it was
only joke and he has been riding a
bicycle and counting Democrats ever
since he went to Washington. Jerry
has adopted Mr.. Barnums idea that the
people like to be humbugged.
