HONOR FOR REPUBLIcANIsM.
Congratulatory Address Of the coun-
ty Central Committee.

SOLOMON, Nv 90, 1898
To the Republicans Of Dickinson County:
In closing the work of the recent
campaign it is fitting that your central
committee should congratulate you,
together with the Republicans of the
State, upon the splendid results obtain.
ed not only at home in Kansas, but in
every State where free ballot is per
United.
Three years ago a secret organization
having for Its purposes class legisla-
tion and privileges. FIRST made its
appearance as a political force in our
State; year ago this organization, or
disorganized isms, obtained control Of
the State government and majority of
the Congressional representatives.
The dire results Of that victory are
seen and felt wherever the credit or
reputation of the State of Kansas is
discussed.
Emigration has passed around US;
capital has been withdrawn; credit
has been refused; in hundreds Of
instances mortgages of the poor, that
otherwise would have been extended,
have been foreclosed and their owners
deprived OF their all and the name Of
Kansas has come TO be the symbol of
al that Is dishonest In financial trans
actions.
In Nov. eth we see the beginning Of
the end; the Alliance vote, but AZ per
cent of the total, indicates the disinte-
grafton of Populism; the Australian
ballot has made II possible to cast a
vote without the supervision of self
constituted guardians of society and
reason is returning.
History shows that political move
ments based upon unsound economic
theories once checked never regain
their force, theLce their movement ia
backward, not forward.
1t Is within the power of the Repub-
lican party to overcome forever the
political vagaries OF the simpsons, the
PETERS, the Dosters, the Clemenses and
Mrs. Leases. Let us move forward to
the work, and that we may work to the
greater purpose, let us cast aside every
ism Of every kind and march to the
music Of Republicanism alone.
There is room enough for all in the
good work; Republican principles are
clearly defined; the platform Is broad;
We invite all good citizens to join us
in the redemption of the fair name of
Kansas. In National politics, COM
ment is unnecessary; 81 ,995 in Ohio,
40. 900 in Iowa, a., 900 IN Massachusetts
80, 900 in New York, New Jersey Re
publican and 100000 in Pennsylvania
speak for themselves. We ought,
perhaps, to add that Kentucky went
Democratic. II. b. ALDRIoH,

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

est Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles Of its class
greatest strength, puTest ingredients,
most perfectly combined wherever
exhibited in competition with others.
In the exhibitions Of former years, at
the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and
at the various state and Industrial
fairs, where it has been exhibited,
judges have invariably awarded the
Royal Baking Power the highest
honor.
At he recent Worlds Fair the exam.
aminations for the baking powder
awards were directed by the chief
chemist Of the agricultural department
at Washington. The chief chemist s
onicial report of the tests of the baking
powders, which was made for the
specific purpose Of ascertsiuing which
was the best, shows the leavening
strength of the Royal to be 100 cubic
inches of csTbonic gas per ounce Of
powder. OF the cream of tartar bak.
ing powders exhibited, the highest
in strength tested contained but l33
cubic inches of leavening gas. The
other powders gave an average of III.
The Royal therefore was found to be Of
20 per cent greater leaveuing strength
than its nearest competitor and A per
cent above the average Of all other
tests. Its superiority in other respects
however, IN the quality of the food 1t
makes as to fitness, delicacy and whole,
someness, could not be- measured by
figures.
1t ia these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women Of the
country for so many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex.
coed the sale Of all other baking
powders combined.
