II is about three years ago that Mrs
Louise Hamersley of New York became
Duchess of Marlborough, and made
Blenheim palace her home. On that
historic place she has lavished her
wealth unsparingly, and restored it to
its old grandeur.
The Duchess is very handsome
woman, tall and extremely graceful,
with touch of gold in the abundant
brown hair that grows low upon the
broad white forehead, expressive hazel
eyes, and decidedly marked eyebrows.
The charm of her face lies in its ever
changing expression, in the light that

A CHEAP CROWD.

Some men who should know better
talk very foolish. Any man with an
ounce of brains ought to plainly see that
the success of the Confusion-Calamity
ticket would prove the death knell to all
hopes of returning prosperity for Kan
sas. The announcement next Tuesday
night a week that Kansas had gone
Calamity, and that Calamity legisla-
ture, house and senate, hac been elected,
would effect adversely every property
value in the state, depress the stocks OF
all corporations and brighten every resi-
dent of any other state who might have
any sort of an investment in Kansas.
The Calamity crowd believe in cheap
ness, in cheap everything. They tend to
unshaven and unkempt conditions.
They believe in low wages, long hours
and in squeezing everybody. The wage
worker has even more to dread from the
success of the so called Peoples party
than the capitalist. While no business
man can afford to vote for Simpson
Lewelling reign surely no laboring man
can afford to do SO.

THE SCHEME.

1t is about conceded now that Jerry
Simpson is beaten for congress, and that
the gallant young man, Chester I. Long
of Barber county, will be his successor.
This brings up new phase in political
affairs, and it has been noticed of late
that Jerry has substantially abandoned
his district and has been stumping ex-
tensively over other portions of Kansas,
in hopes to elect the Peoples party legis-
lature. This, then, is the scheme: If
Jerry is beaten for coDgress-and it now
looks that wayne hopes to secure to
the Peoples party a majority in the
legislature, and he will be candidate
for United States senator. The business
men of Wichita, by voting for the fusion
candidates for the legislature, will aid
Jerry Simpson in his scheme.
Ed O'Bryan, if elected, has pledged
himself to vote for the Calamity caDdi-
date for United States senator. The
man whom the electors of Sedgwick
county elect to the state senate this fall,
being elected for four years, has two
votes for United States senator. The
issue is plain, and our duty is plain

ABOUT ELECTING THE PRESIDENT

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
You will do me great favor by answer
ing the following questions through the
columns or the EAGLE:
l. What does it mean to place at the
head of the fusion ticket the names of
Cleveland and Stevenson and then follow
with the Weaver electors on the same
ticket?
g. If I should cast my vote for this
ticket, would Cleveland and Stevenson
get the benefit of the vote, or General
Weaver
g. Should General Weaver get the cleo
toral vote Of several states SO That neither
Harrison or Cleveland had a majority,
would the election then be determined by
congress?
T. II so, how? By each member voting,
or by each state casting so many votesl
An early answer to the above questions
will greatly oblige. respectfully yours.
READER.
First-It means that the Democrats
nominated the Weaver electors as their
party electors simply to comply with
the requirements of the law, though
they will support it in good faith, un-
derstanding that their election will take
the electoral vote of the state away from
Harrison while it will do Weaver no
good.
Second.--A vote for the Weaver ticket
would necessarily and unavoidably enure
to the benefit of Cleveland and Steven
son, as shown in the first answer.
Third.-Should Weaver secure
enough electoral votes to deprive either
Harrison or Cleveland Of a majority,
the election would be thrown into the
house, and since the election must be
determined before the newly elected
congress can meet and organize, the
present house which is two-thirds DEM
ocratic would elect, and of course Cleve-
land would be its choice.
Fourth-If the election should be
thrown into the house the vote would be
cast by states, each state casting one
vote and as dictated by majority of
the state delegation.-ED EAGLE.

ON THE RUN.

The anything for Office, anything to
beat the Republican party fellows are in
a hard row of stumps. The people real
ize now that this gang have no politics
but spoils; that they are after the loaves
and fishes and that the state and all her
material interests can sink so far as they
can SO that they can accomplish their
ends. The people who have cast their
lot in Kansas that have come here to
stay don't pro- pose to join lot of free
hooters who would scuttle the ship for
the sake of their own preferment, and
when they could no longer subsist seek
other places and go through the same
devastation act. No, there is too much
intelligence, too much common sense
existing in Kansas to allow the ship OF
state to be turned over to this piratical
crew. The people of Kansas grew care
less for while, but now that they know
the state is menaced they will do their
duty. The loyal Kansans believe that
Kansas can, and will be made the great
est state in the Union. A large major
ity of the people of Kansas are here to
stay, don't want to live anywhere else,
and they propose to make it mighty
unpopular place for the politician that
hopes to gain an office by defaming the
state. The craze is over, the fad has
become chestnut, and Its mighty pop
ular this year to hoop her up for Kan
sas-stand up for Kansas.

1t is an old saying, and a true one that
Democratic officials seldom die, and
never resign, and it seems 10 be the case
with Democratic nominees. Carroll in

used On the Peoples party. and now
when it is expedient not only, but
necessary for them to come off and set

about the election of their candidates it
would require no argument 10 convince
them for whom to vote: they would vote
for the Democrats without hesitation.

The howlers hereabouts are in the

denunciation of the cowardly insults

the goyernorship OF Kansas on the Peo-
pies party ticket, yet everybody knows
Weaver from away back. as he
has been connected with every
political craze that has struck this coun-

howlers claim that Kansas Republicans

charge that Republicans are also buying
all the Irish potatoes to be had and trad

There will be mighty few stay-at-
home Republicans in Kansas this year.
Republicans are entirely and altogether
satisfied with their pa-ty's position on
the questions at issue and with their
ticket from top to bottom-are satisfied
that the party has made no mistakes in
platform or nominees. This being the
case the ticket will receive the full
party vote. There is a considerable
number of dissatisfied voters in the
state, however, and large per cent of
these will either abstain from voting, or
will vote a mixed ticket. These are
mainly Democrats. They will vote for
the Weaver electors because it is the
only way they have of supporting Cleve-
land, and while they may not vote the
Republican state and legislative ticket,
they will not vote the fusion ticket, be-
cause they realize that to do SO, would
be an act of self defamation and deroga-
ton of the material welfare of the state.
