GOVERNOR AND CONGRESSMAN.
E. W. Smith, Chester Long and Billy
Edwards at Stafford.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
One of the most enthusiastic Republic
can meetings ever witnessed in this
county was assembled yesterday. to
greet Hons. A. w. Smith, Chester l.
Long and W. C. Edwards. They were
met at the depot by large number OF
citizens and the st. John Cornet band,
and the kid band of this city, and escort
ed to the wigwam erected for the &C.
casion. After few remarks by Hon.
E. L. Hills chairman OF the meeting and
candidate for county attorney, LIZ. Ed
wards addressed about 1000 persons
Mr.. Edwards speech was strong .loSi-
cal argument which was greeted by
round after round of applause.
The next speaker was our next COVER
nor, Hon. A. w. Smith, who for two
hours, by his plain and matter of fact
way Of speaking which is characteristic
with him. he held the large audience IN
deep interest with his irresistible logic.
He explained to the farmers why they
should ''stand up for Kansas, and de-
nounced in unmeasured terms the way
and manner the Peoples party repre-
sentatives were villifying the name of
our grand and glorious state. His argu-
ment was not only powerful out con-
vincing in every respect.
In the evening the roomy wigwam was
crowded to its utmost capacity with an
intelligent people such as to be found at
any Republican gathering. and between
the speaking the audience was highly
entertained by the Kid Coyote club OF
Larned, or what is known as Billy Ed
wards kids; their singing was highly
complimented by all those that heard
them. The speaker of the evening, Hon.
Chester l. Long, was then introduced,
and held the audience IN wrapt atten-
ton for more than two hours. His ex-
posures of the Peoples party platform,
and his denunciations of the record that
the Peoples party representative was
making in congress, and the way IN
which they were crying calamity in the
east, were particularly scathing and in
controvertible. His very attentive audi
ence was very enthusiastic over his
flights of elequence and sallies of wit,
and sledge- hammer blows at Dem
ocracy and its annexes and fire.
quenlly elected round after round
of applause. Mr.. Long made
some very warm friends during his stay
in the city, and it has been remarked
during the evening that if the state cen
trail committee would send us such
speakers from now on, it would be nc
trouble to carry Stafford county by q
large majority. AT one time during the
day it was talked as though Smith and
Edwards would have love feast or an
old settlers meeting, from the number
of old friends they were meeting every
few moments.
1t was very late when Republican day
ceased at Stafford. The Republicans OF
Stafford wish to extend their heartfelt
thanks to the speakers for the interest
manifested in our rally. They are gen.
tlemen in every respect, and have done
us an immense amount Of good. They
gave US the truth and confined them
selves to the real issues of the day.

THE FLAG.
TO the Editor Of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
A Union soldier who had been cap
tured by the rebels and confined in the
prison pen at Tyler, Tex. said that the
most beautiful thing he ever saw was
the flag of our country, as he saw it on
one occasion during the war for the
Union. He SAID that for months they
had been confined in that dreadful place,
hungry, ragged and dirty, with no word
from home and no word as to how the
battle for the Union was going. Finally,
after weary months of suffering and
anxiety had passed, it was announced
that there was to be an exchange of
prisoners. Preparations were hastily
made, and they started on the march to
Shreveport, on Red river. where the ex-
change was to be made. When almost
worn out with the march, they saw in
the distance the stars and stripes float
ing over the steamboat that had been
sent by Uncle Sam to receive them.
That flag said ''Come on, boys; here is
food and clothing and protection" They
threw away their ''corn-dodger" and
strained their weary limbs until they
stood beneath its protecting folds-the
flag of our country.

A farmer living between Guthrie and

A number of boys of Saltwater were ar

school they were released.
Oklahoma Eagle: Cotton, the man who
was caught down below Perkins with the
stolen mules and. carriage about three
weeks ago, was taken back to Cowley
county, Kan, where he committed the
theft, and plead guilty and received one
year in the pen, which it seems TO US is a
very light sentence.
City townsite board, aud a prominent at

after a lingering illness of two years, a
victim of that much dreaded disease con-

worth and ability and loved and respected

Jesse Bell, living on Brush creek in
Payne county, met with very bad piece
of luck on Tuesday. Watson's steam

wheat, that being his entire crop except
one small stack. The separator was also
burned.

KANSAS CORN PROSPECTS.

A dispatch from Kansas City to the
Chicago Herald Saturday says that at
that point advices had been received
from along the lines of all the railroads
running through Kansas regarding the
condition of the corn crop. The crop
could have stood week more of dry
weather, but the intense heat shrivelled
and dried up the tassels of the ripening
corn to such an extent that much of the
grain cannot mature.
Along the line of the Union Pacific
and branches the crop will be at least 50
per cent. of an average in quality, while
the acreage has been SO increased that
there will be more corn in that part of
the state than last year.
On the Santa Fe the crop will average
50 per cent in quality, with an increased
acreage.
On the Rock Island the crop will fall a
little short, not more than half crop
being raised. In the southern part of
the state about 70 per cent. will be the
average. In the northeastern part of the
state the greatestinjur was done on the
high lands, but on the low lands along
the rivers there will be full crop.
Taking the state as whole the esti-
mate is that Kansas will raise more and
