so-called Bland-Allison act, by the
terms of which the secretary of the
treasury was directed TO purchase and
coin into standard silver dollars, of
4l2H grains each, not less than $4,000,
600 worth nor more than $4,000, 900
worth of silver bullion each month,
and between the date of that act and

twelve years, there was coined $685.

In addition to this there has been

Martins Slender Hold.

There's new hen on Senator Mar
tins nest and we may have some fun
before this cruel war is over. A Wash
lngton dispatch says:
Its the opinion of Kansans now
here that that the announcement by
Percy Daniels, lieutenant governor Of
the state, Of his candidacy for the
United States senate, at the hands OF
the populist party, means the downfall
Of Senator Martin. The Legislature
meets and elects a senator in January,
1896. Mr.. Daniels will go before the
pOpulist convention and endeayor TO
secure a nomination by that body, just
AZ Senator Palmer went before the
Democratic convention in Illinois.
There Is little doubt that he will get 1t,
but whether he does or not the move
ment Ia taken 10 indicate that the
populists have abandoned the present
junior senator from Kansas. There is
another feature Of the situation which
Is Of interest, looked at from q nation
al standpoint. IL is upon the cards
that the next winters senate will
refuse TO confirm Mr.. Martins right tC
his seat.
There has been much contention
that the legislature which elected hin
had no legal being. In fact II has beer
go decided by the Kansas suprem'
court. II Mr.. Martin is ousted Gov
ernor Lewelling will appoint, and 1t Ii
regarded as certainty that the lucky
man will be Mr.. Daniels, a promotion
which would, Of course much strength
en- his chances of election by the sue
ceeding legislature. MIR. j. B. Croucl
Of Hutchinson, in speaking OF the mat
ter, felt sure that Mr.. Daniels had no
announced his candidacy before con
ference was held between the governor
Mr.. Breidenthal, chairman OF Thu
populist executive committee, AM
himself.
1t will serve Martin exactly right t
be ousted. lie has proved himself
two-faced dodger and an unprinciple'
political barterer. lie has been, with
out excepting even PETER, the poores
and most unworthy representative
Kansas has ever had in the Unite
States senate. Even his own part
members will be glad to see him com
to the end OF his political rope.

A reputable exchange says: "Ignatius
Donnelly has left Populist party. lie
will not find it necessary to construct
a cryptogram TO prove that the claim
of the Populists that they are the new
political dispeusstion is fraud A
fervent prayer will go up fr III all the
other parties that he will not jim their
ranks. Men like Donnelly help no
party. Every such member is an in-
cubus and detlactins force. They
disrupt and tear down. The Poprlist'
have hundred times as many fanatics
of the Donnelly stripe as the old
parties and for that reason make more
blunders and will eventually fail, A
party with leaders of that ilk can
never succeed in America. Level
headed business like men are wanted

The Importance Of the election OF
1893 ought not to be underestimated
by the people of Kansas and more
by the voters Of this county
The Popullsts are already in the field.
They have created an official corpora
ton at Topeka, by which the ringsters
now in control Of the State government
are going to disseminate throughout
this State their Infamous literature.
Stamped by the seal Of this corporation
and subscribed or endorsed by a State
officer, they expect this literature to be
read, swallowed and obeyed without
question by their followers. They
realize that 1t is only by deceiving
people that they can hope to remain In
power In any county Of this State.
This bureau OF Misinformation"
which has been started will not hest
tate to publish anything that will cover
up their infamy at Topeka last winter.
The corporation has been formed for
that purpose especially.
In view OF the disgraceful record
which has so far been made by the Pop
ulist administration and the necessity
Of getting the truth before the voters
no time should DO lost in getting the
