CoMINs right down to business,
what have the six members Of the
Kansas Congressional delegation
done to justify the $50, 900 per year
laid out for their salaries? Two OF
them have inflicted . hundred times
that amount Of damage upon the
state. There Is not one cents worth
Of benefit that can be pointed to, &C.
complished by the whole lot Ii
was . bad investment when we hired
that crowd, and yet they have the
cheek to come back to us and ask to
be endorsed and reelected. We
cannot afford to pay $4,000 . year
for the privilege of being held In
contempt by the whole country.

He IL the same old Grover, who
made free traders happy and In

just what he WAS, and he says he
has not changed since. He straddles
the currency question, but intimstes

says there can be no such thing as
free trade but favors approaching
that state as near as possible. He
cannot deceive the people.

gain prominence. Farmer Smith

and sent IL te-this state to break
down the Republican party. He il
wss who lent prominence 10 the
Alliance, aud when he Withdrew
from IL q prop was removed which
today is responsible for i,s utter de.
structiou. McGrath and Matchett,
not being gifted in far seeing n
Smith, did not get out from under
so early. hence are not entitled to so
much credit. There Is still time for
Brother Cobb to accept the invita-
ton of Senator Perkins. Come back.

ONE Of the sublime spectacles OF
our time is to see tie great number
OF little whipper snapper fellows
who image that all the knowledge,
experience and virtue there 10 OF
ever was in American politics 10
wrapped up in themselves. They
could tell John Sherman more than
he ever knew about finance and
money, and they are certain that
Mr.. Sherman was never any thing
but q corrupt demsgogue. They
have apparently forgotten more than
James q. Blaine ever knew about
affairs Of state and diplomacy, and
regard him merely as bum
politician of ordinary attachments.
What they know about the tariff
and its effect upon the country IL
such that Mckinley or Mills are but
school children In the early stages OF
A. Ii. C.'s. Such men as President
Harrison,..Senator Allison, Speaker
Reed, are mean, ignorant, and
wholly beneath their notice. No
man who lives In Kansas, is Of any
account in their eyes, excepting, Of
course, their own precious selves. 1t
is unfortunate that a few men should
ever beget such ideas In their brains,
but unfortunately, when q large
number of them are crowded into
state or county IL Is q shame and
disgrace distilled and condensed. A
man who IL such q sublimely
ridiculous fool that he can see moth.
ing good or great In the men who
have attained greatness In this great
country, are the enemies Of the
people and their free institutions.
Beware OF them.

tanned in no other way. As usual In
such cases the people ale given the
choice Of two men, and they should
think carefully aud consider well the
men before making their choice.
Here they are:
