The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1893-11-10

and their intelligence are appealed to.
The news from the State at large is
equally inspiring. Not single coun-
ty thus far, heard from has shown
Populist gains, while in many of them
the Republican gains are enormous.
Cherokee county, for example, which
gave 1900 Populist majority last year,
gives 800 Republican majority this
year. And other counties in various
parts of the State have done nearly
as well.
Kansas is redeemed.
The returns from the eastern States,
where National issues were involved,
show almost as decisive condemna-
ton of the Democratic administration
at Washington as the returns in Kan
sas show of the Populist administra-
ton at Topeka. The overwhelming
victory in Ohio is particularly signifi-
cant. 1t makes VIM Mckinley as
certainly the next Republican candi-
date fer President, as any future poll
teal event can be.
So, taking everything together, the
Republican party is feeling very well,
thank you.
ELECTION NOTES.
Kansas is redeemed!
The Law is Supreme.
1t was a business victory.
1t was not merely victory; it was
a landslide.
Sixty-three is more than fty-eight.
This is official.
The next big Republican day is
Thanksgiving.
Even Salem township elected Re-
publican trustee this year.
The country has taken long step
away from 1.-the verge of ruin"
Have any Populist glee clubs been
around lately singing "GOod-bye, old
party, goodbye?
"The first Peoples party govern
ment on earth" has been in power ten
months, and the people are ready for
a change.
The returns now indicate that the
Republicans have carried so out of the
LOG counties in the State. The reign
of unreasOn is over
Old Elm is getting back her ancient
glory. She gave the heaviest Repub-
lican majority this year that she has
given for eight years.
1t is rumored that John Bales farm
is not for rent! Circumstances over
which he had no control have induced
him to continue to farm it himself.
Usage township is to be congratu-
lated on the election of Charlie Ham,
mel for trustee. He is a good man
and true-and stalwart Republican.
Jim Wakefield's vote at Humboldt
was magnificent endorsement from
his home people. No other Republic
can ever got such q majority there
since the world began.
VIM Mckinley was elected Presi-
dent of the United States last Tues
day. The people will pass on it again
before he takes his seat, but it will be
merely a matter of form.
Dear, Dear! How the people did |
"rebuke" the Republican bosses" for
"disfranchising" the Democrats! One
more rebuke like that and the Repub-
licans will get all the votes.
The deadest thing in Kansas just |
now is fusion. 1t will be brave man
indeed who dares propose next year
that the Democratic party again go
into partnership with nightmare.
The leaders of the opposition in this
county made the REGISTER and it's
editor their main issue this fall, as
usual. We hope they are gratified
with the verdict of the people upon it.
1t is not only wicked to bet money
,n an election, but it is bad invest
nent. If you don't believe this, ask
he fellows who put up their hard, de-
nonetized dollars on the fusion can
1idates.
The Republicans elected everything
over in Woodson county for the first
lime in years. Majorities range from
30 to Sl4. The victory is due more to
The stalwart and intelligent campaign
made by the Yates Center NeUs than
10 any other one agency.
We especially commend Fred Fun
ston's letter to those of our patrons
who find the election returns rather
chilly reading. 1t ought to be very
soothing to them to know that there
IS heavier snow and more ice in at
east one place ON earth than there is
mere.
