The Republican party in Kansas is saved
great deal of additional bad-feeling by

continued into the comic valentine week.
In Washington in the pension Office there

Old Ben Glover can now take his Wash

out and say, "There is the man beat for
congress last year."
Since the sunset of $1,000 majorities
new element, political discretion, has de-
veloped in Kansas. In this respect the
years go and 1872 will differ greatly. In
one of his evening meetings Congressman
Perkins had Jay Gould and Son George

Perkins would hardly do that.
Here is new story on PETER and it is
said to be strictly true. Down in south
eastern Kansas, shortly after his election,
he was invited to speak before Sunday

"No delusion about it. A political party
has no business going into any church to
get officers. It's agin my sentiments"
but you are mistaken. The Republican
party has had nothing to do with the
Catholic church"
