The sympathies of the Atchison Globe
have been and still are altogether with
the Peoples party in this contest, but it
Is not so blindly partisan that it cannot
see an inch before its nose, as is the case
with the majority of that party and its
organs. Referring to the congressional
contest in the First district the Globe
says: "1he refusal of Close to withdraw
for congress in this district will also help
the Republican state ticket The Peo-
pies party has succeeded in making the
Democrats mad in many instances, and
the result viii be d gain to the Republic
cans"
