WITHOUT A DOUBT,
Judge Strang Says Thee is No Question About
Republican Success This Year.

Judge Strang. the brilliant Republican
orator of Larned, was in the city last night
in company with Hon. w. c. Edwards,
| candidate for secretary of state, both of
| them returning from Republican meet
ing held at kingman the previous night.
To An EAGLE reporter they stated that the
klngman meeting was grand success,
the opera house ceing full to overlooking.
and the torch light procession at
least a half a mile long. Judge Strang
made talk there that was one of the very
best ever delivered in that city. He is
said to be exceptionally fine on the tariff
| question, and many of his friends insist
that even the brilliant Mckinley has no
| edge over him on that tubjecJ 1t is re-
| freshing to hear Judge Strang, in his con-
servative way, talk on the political situa-
ton. He IS just as confident that the entire
Republican state ticket will be elected as
he is that the sun will rise in the east this
morning. He said to reporter for the
EAGLE that he would not give a dollar to
any man living to insure him the
election of the entire state ticket
by $4,000 majority and that he believes in
his heart that it will 90 $4,000 majority
The Judge has an array Of figures, based
On the returns OF former elections to prove
his statements, and nobody ever leaves
him without being convinced. He says he
does not know the condition of Sedgwick
county and therefore cannot tell what the
result of the congressional campaign will
be, but he seems dead sure OF one thing,
and that is that Chester Long will come
to Sedgwick county with a very
handsome majority. This is his estimate,
giving Simpson the benefit all the doubts.
He says that outside of this county the
support that will be given the state ticket
by the Democrats will be simply enorm-
Gus. In one county he knows that 600
Democrats viii vote for Smith Hundreds
or Peoples party men are turning over al
SO. In Republican procession held at
Abeine one entire Alliance organization
took part and carried the banners of the
same. In answer to the question. ''Then
you think the state ticket will be elect
ed"' he said most emphatically, lit is
elected now" He thinks the entire vote cast
this year viii be nearly $50, 600 and pre-
diets that everything over the 300, 900 will
represent the Republican majority He
has been making speeches in the Fifth and
Sixth districts, aud lie states positively
that both of the Republican candidates
VIII be elected. In the Sixth district, be |
states, poll has been made and it has |
been positively determined that fifteen Of |
the twenty-five counties will 20 Republi- |
can, and maybe eighteen. He says |
there is no question about the |
election of J. r. Burton. He |
thinks the Democratic strength does |
not amount to more than 10000 votes in |
the state and of this the state Republican |
ticket will receive between 5000 and 1900. |
He says the resubmission Republican vote
two years ago numbered nearly $4,000 and
this year they are all in line. The Resub-
mission club of Leavenworth, ZOO strong,
are every one of them in harness. working
for the straight Republican ticket. 1t is
impossible after hearing what Judge
strong has to say about the prospects of
he Republican ticket to harbor for a
moment an idea that the Peoples party
Will reach within 40, 600 votes of getting IA
majority. Judge Strong is put down as
me Of the most conservative politicians in
he state and when he makes an estimate
II prediction it is generally very safe to
BET accordingly.
