man Of the state democratic com.
mittee is in Salina, being brought
here on account of business In the
district court. In Q talk with him
on political matters, he seems very
confident that Cleveland will be
elected president. He says the
entire state ticket Of the peoples
party will be elected, and that Jerry
Simpson will be elected by larger
majority than he received before.
He admitted that q great many
prominent democrats OF the seventh
district were opposed TO Simpson,
and would fight him bitterly, yet he
asserts In q general way that Simp-
son will be elected. He gives no
figures to base his conclusions on,
but yet claims everything in sight
for the fusion ticket.
Col. Jones has no particular in
terest In the election of the state
ticket, or Of the congressional candi-
dates Of the peoples party, but he
hopes through all this furry to see
Cleveland emerge as presidentIoflthis
United States. Col. Jones was Uni

The Rustler Furnishing Company
last Spring concluded to make a dis
play at our County Fair. The
motive which prompted us to do i,
was to benefit the Fair Association
in general and the Rustler Furnish.
ing Company in particular. We dc
it because we believe it will pay us.
We are not doing it for fun, but for
the money we believe is in it. We
think every live business firm in the
county should make an exhibit. We
have met several business men who
say oh! I wont take anything to the
Fair, they offer no premium on my
class Of goods or product, others say
it wont pay me, the premium 1 would
get will not be sufficient to re-
munerate me for the time l must
loose, still others say they give too
much premium on horsehesh and
not enough on sour krout, apple
snits etc, etc. Now let us say right
here and we know whereof we are
talking for we've been there, one Of
the most difficult and poorest paying
positions any man can be honored
with is TO be chosen a Fair director.
