to be considered presumptlOus if we
should inquire of the Star if this "poL.

Cleveland by the people was in his

Judge J. E. halsell.
The Monitor OF last week published
an article from some Republican edi-
torial squirt up in the north part Of
the state who claimed to help defeat
Judge H ,lsell for Congress in Ken
lucky. He claims that Judge Hilsell
secured his nomination for a third
term by ch.canery. Those who know
the judge will put this down as a false
hood without hesitation, for there is
not spark Of that sort Of nature ir
him. His life and character are an
open book, and everything he DIES is
always open to the gaze of ali man
kind. To show how far this squirt
wandered from the truth IL Is only
necessary to state that Judge Halsell
did not run for a third term in con-
gress at all. He was rendered the
nomination by his friends but owing
to local party controversy over the
nOmlnttion, he refused to enter the
race at all and although pressed by his
friends TO allow them to vote for him
anyway, he refused their request.
When he was first elected to congress
he defeated Republican in a dis
trlct that had over a thousand Re.
publican majority, by 100 votes and
at his second election had l447 ma.
jorlty. While in congress Speaker
Carlisle made him chairman of the
committee on private land claims
and he stood higk in the councils of
the leading men Of his party. He
has scores Of newspaper commenda.
tions and letters of warm reccommen-
dations from the leading men of Ken
lucky, including many governors,
congressman, judges and attorneys OF
national reputation, none of which
have ever seen the light of day in
Kansas, because the Judge is not
built that way and to any one who
has formed his acquaintance they
would be superhuous. He is emf
nently qualified for the bench and
will surely be elected.
His biography in the COngression-
al Directory reads as follows:
John E. Halsell, OF Bowling Green, was born
in Warren County Kentucky, September IL,
ISIS; was educated at Cumberland University.
Lebanon, Tennessee; studied law; was ad-
mitted TO the bar and commenced the prac-
tice OF law at Bowling Green In 1856; was
elected County Attorney for Warren County
and served four years; was elected Circuit
Judge OF the Fourth Judicial District OF
Kentucky in 1870; was elected to the Forty
eighth Congress, md was reelected TO the
Forty-ninth Congress as Democrat, re-
ceiying l2,S33 votes against 1886 votes for
