THE last state fair was nothing for
Kansas, or even for Topeka, to be
proud Of The fact is, Topeka ought
to be ashamed of it. The manage
ment seemed to start out with the
policy Of giving the public as little
for the money as possible without be-
ing liable to indictment for obtaining
money under false pretenses, but the
good races helped to change the
appearance to some extent Some Of
the exhibits were very fine, but the
exhibitors were justly dissatisfied be-
cause visitors were 80 scarce, while
visitors were equally disappointed
because they had expected a larger
diversity of exhibits. One cause of
the slim attendance, aside from the
slight encouragement offered to ex-
hibitors, wss'the fact that the price of
advance sale tickets was raised over
that Of previous years, and no re-
duction was given except where pur-
chasers took tickets in blocks of six.
This was a very small inducement
for people to buy advance tickets. To
further promote feeling against the
concern, newspaper men, many of
whom had come a long distance to
see what Kansas had on exhibition,
came in contact with Gerald Volk,
who was imported from Wichita to
take charge of press quarters and
display his Importance and exercise
authority to his hearts content. Not
a more unpopular man could have
been found for the position. The
association will have to abandon its
plcayune ideas before it can succeed

THE OFFIOIAL COUNT IN l89O.

Bill Higgins undertakes to answer
Legate's charge that Robinson votes
were counted for Humphrey in 1890,
by the statement that Peoples party
men were invited to witness the can
vass Of the returns at the state house,
and that no fraud could therefore
have been practiced without detection.
This is too thin q defense. No one
was ever fool enough to suppose that
the changes we're made after the
arrival of the returns in this city.
Why does Mr.. Higgins neglect to ex-
plain the reason of the sudden stop
page Of returns a little after midnight
on the night OF the electioni Why
is he silent concerning the sudden
departure of many republican poll
ticisns to various parts of the state
by the earliest trainsi What was
their missions Why was it that in
formation Of the result Of the election
was so long delsyedi This matter
cannot be explained to the satisfaction
Of the people blythe method employed
by Mr.. Higgins

republicans as can be found in this
city, before Jim Legate ever said q
word upon the subject, that it was

what was being done and and how it
was being done. OF course, only the
initiated are in full possession Of the
facts; but the man who was in this
city at the time and did not feel NOR
ally certain that the iAfamy was be-
ing perpetrsted, was binder than a
bat. The doctoring was done before
the returns came TO Topeka, and some
good republicans have gone so far as
to say that q part Of it was done in
LesVenworth county, and Mr.. Legate
probably knows whereof he speaks
when he makes the statement of the
fraud. He will fail in his duty as a
citizen if he negleCts to disclose the
facts of which he claims to have
knowledge.

does do SO it will always be found

We might also ventilste other mat
ters that Mr.. Burton was connected
with during his term of service in the

to have it done, though we do not at
present deem it advisable to go into
that kind of work. About all his

WATOA TIE GAME AND DEFEAT IT.

| WACUH Tdh GAMb AMI Dht bAI H.
It is q fact known to all well in
formed people that the republican
leaders have for some time had no
hope or expectation of carrying this
state either for the state or national
ticket. While they are Growing as
loudly as ever, and endeavoring to
keep up appearances as usual, their
efforts are now directed to the cap
ture Of the legislature. To this end
their hard work is really being done.
They are not, of course, doing this
openly, but while ostensibly conduct
ing the campaign in the usual man
ner, all the machinery of the party,
and all the secret forces which can
be brought TO bear, are being quietly
directed to this end. They want to
defeat the election of another United
States senator by the Peoples party
and any contemplated remedial legis-
lstion.
We desire most earnestly to en-
force this fact upon the minds of the
people. This statment is not wind.
It is based upon reliable information,
and our people must not be
caught mapping. The election Of
the state ticket will not bring about
remedial legislation. Remember this.
If it were possible for us to get but
one, it is more important that we get
the legislature by an overwhelming
majority than that we should elect
the state ticket. But we can elect
both unless the people suffer them
selves, under one pretense or another,
to support other than the Peoples
party candidates for the Legislature.
We desire to point to another fact.
A desperate effort is being made, and
will be made, in the spsrsely settled
counties in the western part of the
state, to secure republican members
of the legislature. Every conceiva-
BILE scheme will be resorted to out
there for this pursose. Let the peo-
pie Of those counties take warning
and act accordingly.

]. R. BURTON,s RECORD,

W &S' ASO&S@S @S4a ~ A"@SSN4S@~b
In our issue Of the 7th we pub
lished from the proceedings Of the
Odd Fellows grand lodge Of 1885 an
account of the expulsion of a Mr..
Burton from the order for missppro-
priatlon Of funds. We received no.
tice soon after that the Burton thus
expelled was not the present candl-
date for congress in the Fifth district,
and subsequent investigation tends
to confirm the statement. We there
fore take pleasure in giving Mr.. Bur-
ton, Of Abiline, the benefit Of this
correction. In doing SO, in justice to
ourselves it is proper that we state
how we came to be led into the error.
On the 1st Of September we received
a letter from a correspondent who
lives in the Fifth district, Of which
the following is an extract:
II was proposed TO have an Odd Fellows
picnic at Milford, this county, and an inVi-
tation had been extended to J. r. Burton
TO make an address. Some one who knew
his record only too well, objected, saying
that Burton had been expelled from that
fraternity for embezzlement-RmOunt $3.50,
and said that the trial was in the proceed
ings of the grand lodge for 1886. Can you
obtain access to that record and verify this3
On receipt of this letter we looked
up the record, and found the proceed
ings as published, and naturally sup-
posing that the Odd Fellows of Mil
ford were personally knowing to the
circumstances of the case, we felt
sure that J. r. Burton was the man.
Any reasonable man will sec how
easily such an error might occur; but
no republican paper will realize how
easy it is for us to make this correc-
tion because none of them have ever
tried it.
The Abiline Reflector in an editorial
which is approvingly quoted by the
Capital charges the ADVOCATE with
willful and malicious misrepresenta-
tion in this matter. THIS is perhaps
not surprising, as they undoubt-
edly Judge our motives by their own
experience. Will they withdraw
the charge now that the correction is
made? OF course not. They never
do anything of this kind.
But while these patriots manifest
SO much righteous indignation on ac-
count Of this mistake they are as 81
lent as an Egyptian mummy concern
ing the court records Of this county
by which Mr.. Burton is convicted of
acting as the paid attorney of the
"Topeka Insurance company" while a
member of the legislature, being paid
to Influence legislation" in favor Of
that wildcat scheme for swindling
