IsNOr FORGOTTEN


During the recent discussions Of the
national issues the sta'e issues have
not received the ATTENTION to which
they are entitled. Republ cans will
not lose sight of the necessity that ex-

offices those that have brought blush
of shame TO the cheeks OF every self

| ton OF the state legislature.
The monumental wrong perpetrated
| when two seats IN the senate were
stolen by democratic votes, in the priv
LEGGED absence of republicans, will re-
main as one of the most Infamous party
tricks ever consummated in this or any
state. To recall the despicsble cum
ming Of the leaders in whose hands the
plant tools headed by the notorious
Park were like clay in the hands of
the molder is enough TO excite the in
dIgnation OF the most calloused parti-
san. The scheme was Matched in the
fertile brain OF the unprlnclpled whip

foul birth and its stature was achieved
In the most reckless prostitution OF
political power ever known.
There IL neither excuse nor apology
? for any man that had hand in that
infamous crime. The senators dellb-
Grated. premeditated and acted. The
seats to which Horton and Morse had
been elected bv the people were to be
stolen. Every democrat IN the senate
knew that. Some of them rebeIled in

LIZZIE BORDEN ARRESTED.
Charged With the Murder of Her Fatl,s
and Steomother.

Charged With the Murder of Her Father
and Stepmother.
FALL RIVER, Mass. Aug. 12-Miss
Lizzie Borden is under arrest charged
with numbering her father and step
mother last Thursday week.
Accompanied by her sister and Mrs.
Brigham she was brought into the Sec
ond district court room about o'clock
yesterday afternoon, presumably to
give further evidence az the inquest
As was the case before, al
the proceedings We're behind locked
doors. When Miss Lizzie returned
from the third inquiry she was ply

Quoted TO the matro1's room The in
vestigation was adjourned about 4
o'clock. District Attorney Knowlton
and other officers went TO the Elarshal's
private Office, where they remained
closeted for two hours.
The reason for first suspecting Lizzie
of the crime is that she and her step
mother have not been on good terms
for several years, in fact, it is said that
she refused to eat at the same table
with Mrs Borden or speak to her.
Money matters are said to have caused
the trouble.
Lizzie ana her 1atner mad several
| heated discussions on these matters.
The woman. who is 81 years old, is
naughty and donineering with the will
Of he father and bound to contest for
her rights. She is of repellant dispo-
sitiOn, and after an unsuccessful passage
| with her father would become sulzy and
refuse to speak TO him for days at time.
She moved in the best of society in
Fall River and was a member of the
! Congregational church and is a brilliant
conversationalist. She thought she
! ought to entertain as others did Her
! fathers constant refusal to allow her tC
entertain lavishly angered her. Since

brought up against her and her final
arrest is the outcome Of the whole

Dies in yTashington-TEe Fought ia Two
Wars.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Gen. James
W. Denver, of Wilmington, o., died last
evening in this city, after an illness OF
three days from aenemic poisoning. He
was 80 years old
Gen Denver was born in Winchester,
Va, in ISIS. He received public
school education, emigrated with his
parents to Ohio, and from there re-
moved to Missouri, where he studied
law and was admitted to therbar.
He was appointed a captain of the
Twelfth infantry in 1917, and served in

Political Methods Discussed.

Further on in your letter you say:
while you and have always differed polit-
fcal}y, 1 thought were both striving for the
same end in trying to build up our young COM
monwealth and encourage all public improve
ments and maintain the credit and honor of the.
state"
In this statement you are correct 1 have
alwas thought the same thing and have no
reason to believe otherwise now, but we have
never agreed as to methods for the accomplish
ment OF the desired result AS 10 whether in
the past have contributed in anv way TO the
welfare, honor or credit of the state, it is not
for me TO say. However am 1 to understand
you to mean that the great body of our fellow
citizens. known as the peoples party are en-
gagged in conspiracy against the honor, the
credit and the welfare of the state? You certain
ly GO not mean 20 be understood What
right have you 1 to say or intimate that the
100000 1881 600 citizens of Kansas, the bone
and sinew of the commonwealth, the very life
blood OF the state, and whose labors have
produced every dollars worth of property in it,
are enemies to the state; that they are engaged
in q conspiracy to destroy its credit and honor?
Is not the very suggestion an insult to the in
telligenee and manhood of the citizens of the
state? and surely no honest or intelligent man
believes the statement to be true. They are
the men who, by their hardy courage, constant
toll and unnumbered hardships, have reclaimed
the wilderness and civilized our magnificent
prairies and converted them into blooming gar
dens and fields of golden grain They have
plowed our lands, fenced ossr fields, built our
homes erected churches in every valley and
crowned every hill with school house. The :
are the men whose labors have produced all
that you and and every other non producer,
within the borders of this magnificent common
wealth. ea0 and drink and wear. They have
made and Own the material wealth OF the state.
and laid III. basis of it's moral and intellectual
power. Ss-feiy such men are not engaged in q
conspiracy scheme to undo and destroy all
these splendid accomplishments of their own.
The suggestion is absolutely unworthy of any
man who claims TO have the interest and honor
of Kansas at heart, and no man who loves and
honors Kansas Will impute to large body OF
his fellow citizens such criminal purposes.
And let add, stubborn fact, that 1t is
not the interest, nor the honor, nor the credit
. of Kansas that these traducers OF her people
are so much interested in, as it is the success
of the party to which they belong.

armed with Winchesters, would over
take him at Mckenzie, Tenn, and hang
