total vote was $1,000 larger than in
1852; in 1888 5000 larger than in 1856
while in 1890 it decreased 10000
Without stopping to verify figures it
is easy to account for this Immense
reserve" Everybody knows that
Kansas increased rapidly in popula-
tion during the period from 1882 to
1883, and that each succeeding elec.
tion showed a largely increased vote.
while in 1890 just after the opening of
Oklahoma and the reaction of the
boom period mentioned above. there
was decrease in population. The
vote in 1856 was 5000 greater
than in 1884. How did it come that
this immense reserve" vote came out
in 1886, lOff year and stayed at home
in 1884, presidential year?) This
was right cute shadow for the Non
itor to take refuge behind. We hope
it has proven balm to its feyered ex-
pectation. After decreasing 10000 in
1890, it thinks it safe to reckon on
at least $4,000 more votes this year
than in $780," We hope so, but we can
not see that the vote will be increased
by over $1,000. Then it lays the tiatter-
ing JUNCTION to its soul that the de
cline" of the Peoples party which
caused it to cast Il per cent of the
total vote in 1891 as against only 3S per
cent in 1890 will land them safely in
the haven of success.
Thus, it has the whole $1,000 figured
out of sight. If our neighbor can
rest satisfied with the case he has
made out, let him enjoy it to the
maximum.

We Must Have a Change.

EDITOR PEOPLES VOICE: We no.
tlce that some of our Republican
friends seem broken up since the
adoption Of their county platform and
l am not at all surprised, when a man
has reached the age of 10 or 80 in the
belief that Supreme Being rules the
universe and causes it to rain alike
upon the just and unjust, to be upset
by the announcement that the Repub-
llcan party has brought about this
bOuntiful harvest. 1t will be a little
awkward for them to begin their
prayer I'VE thank thee, our G. o. p.,"
etc.
But some of our Republican friends
have commenced to Look at the other
side and reason "thusly." If the g.
o. p. controls the elements and causes
us to have bountiful harveSts, they
must also be responsible for letting a
hallStOrm cavOrt around over their
wheat fields. One of our neighbors
had his whole cabbage patch washed
out by high water last spring and he
swearS he will never vote for a party
that has no better management. We
are reliably informed that the citi-
zenS of Wellington are taking a stam-
pede from the g. 0. p, and suppose it
is on account of their turningOut a cy-
clone to browse around the city, en-
dangering life and property. The Re-
publicans are getting altogether too
careless: there must be a change. Sup
pose we let the good Lord run the

Bro. KieS, of the COmmOner, was
compelled to suspend his daily fop
want of patronage, the majority
of the people in the party being farm
ers, to whom daily would be of no
more service than a weekly, the towns
men connected with the party were
not of sufficient numbers to sustain it.
We admired Bro. Kies' pluck, but
were fearful Of the result. He pub
lished good paper, and we hope
light will break to the people of the
towns before long, so that there will
be ample patronage for such a ven
ture.
