Every State office has been wrestet
srom their clutches, and new dea

inaugurated at Topeka, in the neal
future. Nothing will be left to re
mind one of their supreme and AFRO
CANT rules, save the obnoxious laws
left behind and the many Other
monuments of folly, prejudice and
extravaganza in which that party SC
much delighted. But they did not
yield without a struggle--a struggle,
SO desperate, so continuous and sup
ported by such vast sums of money,
that at times / trembled for our cause.
No scheme was too extravagant for
them to tackle no charge too base for
them to circulate; no claim too un-
reasonable for them to make.
The incoming returns showing
their cause was lost, but made them
the more sturdy in their assertions
that they had gained the day. OFF,
eial returns from the counties had no
influence upon them. The Topeka
count was what they wanted, and
that same Topeka count. has given
the lower House to the Republicans,
though the people at the polls de-
clared against them. That the Popu-
lists will make most determined
effort TO seat their men is evident, and
have faint hope, that right for
once will prevail in political sense,
though the State be Kansas. But be
assured of one thing, after March 4th,
Kansas will not have Republican
Senator in Washington City. Hoping
to produce discord and trouble
between the Democrats and Populists,
the Republicans put in nomination tor
the United States Senate, the name of
Mrs. Mary L. Lease, of this city. She
has declined TO enter the race, and so
stated last week In letter. But she
is most remarkable woman and has

party in this State. She is one of the
brightest and quickest witted women
/ have ever known, and her knowl-
edge Of public men and affairs was a
revelation to me. Ny education and |
life in the South, will not permit me
to look with special favor, upon
women in public; nor, am / am advo-
cate Of that aged chestnut "womans'
rights" for / have always thought,
she had all the rights she could man
age, and if wanting more, she
has but to get married and
take full swing. Mrs. Lease went
South very much against her better
judgement. She knew more of the
ideas held by those people, than her
and her friends now know
that trip had best never been made.
Another national character, who
has risen up from the plains, of Kan
sas, and caused more joy and general
among his friends, than any
other being, and corresponding
sinking of the heart among his
enemies, is that unique specimen
known as the Sockless Simpson. No
other man in the United States has
been so abused, traduced and villified,
and no other man deserved so little of
X. He is splendid man, and Kansas
has no better or ADLER representative in
Congress than him. The maglignity
that has been heared upon him by
the Republican press and the many
downright falsehoods sent broadcast
over the land about him, and this
abuse of his own State and people,
have been gathered up and kept roll
ing by too credulous Republican
people, who in many cases really and
ruely believed all they heard and
read.- But am glad to note, better
feeling is growing among
,ur Republican people, and as socn as {
Kansas laws permit rebel soldiers to I
