THE OTHER SIDE.

Scott, of the Lola Register. 1t WAS in
reference to an editorial of ScOtt's
charging that Miss Lewelling. the
governors official stenograpller, was
not "a stenosraplIer, but that she drew
the salary and paid another Il paltry
sum To do the work. We found the
article in the Republican Record o;
Erie, of November 3rd, where it Was
published among lot Of other SLAM
ders to prejudice readers against the
populist party. Imasmuch as we Lel-
sOnally knew that the young lady is II
stenographer, that she does the work.
that the position is one requiring the
highest Integrity, that the governor
could not afford either in justice to
hiWself or to lie party t" have any one
~ the place in whom lie did not have
tile utmost confidence, and us his own
daughter possessed every requirement.,
he did Il wise thing in appointing her
in view Of all these facts, We regard
ed SCOTS editorial as base. contempt-
ibic. and dastardly.
We are. however, just in receipt of
very civil letter from Mr.. Scott, in
which lie admits that lie published the
article, but explains that it was us long
ago AS April 28th; that lie did it on
tie statement of Topeka man whom
lie thought Was reliable, but after
ward ascertained that it WAS untrue;
and that OH May 18th lie published Il
correction, and thinks it no more than
fair that we 50 state; which we freely
do.
At that time the Register was not Oh
our exchange list, and of course we
saw neither the original nor the correc-
ton. Scott, however. will SIRE that his
correction has had 10 restraint on his
republican associates from passing
around the base Islander, (Which deep
ems teli-tOld i'll. its infamy when it is
considered that it is upon Il lady, and
one who is innocent of the most re-
mote cause for such attack) When we

the leading republican paper o: his

And while We are OH the subject OF
Misrepresentation, We believe il AS
good u time as any to state that if there
is not a speedy abatement Of it, i: be.
comes the duty Of the populist pres:
OF Kansas To change its entire attitude
and discuss theories and measures
