LOCAL POLITICAL NOTES.
AS we went to press before Speaker
Doug glass began his speech last night,
report of it will have to wait until
next week.
A vote tor single candidate on the
"a gin" ticket this fall, may cost us a
Representative in the Legislature
next fall. The best way to keep the
enemy down is to never let him get
up!
Wichita Edyle: Let all the coun-
ties of Kansas give sweeping Repub-
lican majorities for the county tickets
this fall, and it will tend largely to
redeem our credit, resurrect business,
raise prices OF farm products and lead
on to our old time enjoyment and
prosperity.
A friend from Deer Creek tells us
that The great Populist meeting held
at Diamond school house two or three
weeks ago was attended by just 3
Populists and 5 Republicans. Our
friend was of the opinion that the
vote in Deer Creek this fall would be
about in that proportion.
J. NJ. Dunsmore, ex-speaker of the
Rump House, was in town last Fri
day and made speech down in Tay-
lor's Office to Mr. Taylor, Mr.. Bramley,
Mr.. Hodgson and few others of the
more or less faithful. Dunsmore used
to be a telegraph operator in lola
away back in the seventies, and a
good many of the old settlers remem-
Der him. There is nothing vicious
about Little Dunsie," but when
Doster and Clemens told him that IS
was more than 63 he was fool enough
to pretend that he believed it.
The managers of the opposition in
this county are in a peck TO. trouble
They don't know what name of give
their ticket on the official ballot
They don't want to call it the Peoples
Party ticket, fOr then lot of Demo
Gratis would not vote it. They don't
want to call it the Democratic ticket
for then a lot of Populists would moi
vote it. And they can't run it under
both headings because the law ex.
pressly declares that where 1.-TWO par
ties holding Numerically opposite
views unite and vote the same ticket
they shall be deemed and held to con-
stitute but one party" And so they
are in a peck of trouble. We guess
they will have to fall back on the
name the REGISTER gave it the week
it was born and call it the GIN
ticket.
And there is little doubt where that
choice will fall. A Democrat and
one who has been among tho most
active workers, said TO us Monday
1.-The Democrats generally do not en-
dorse the action of the committee, and
they are having nothing to dc
,aI- no trn
Last year we ran the campaign. We
put up the money and saw to it that
the work was done. This year we
are keeping our money in our pockets
and letting the Pops. run the cam
paign. And they are running it into
the ground. Your ticket is elected
That this man spoke the sentiment o.
a majority Of his party cannot be
dou bted. The Democrats who haye
any pride in their party are not to be
caioled into voting the ticket of par
ty which if successful, will claim al
the honor of the victory and crow ovel
Democrats and Republicans alike
The REGISTERS playful illusions
to the unanimity of the Democratic
central committee at its last meeting
seems to have "struck in" on the
chairman of the committee in a very
surprising The trouble with the
distinguished chairman aforesaid ID
that he can't tell a joke from a Cairo
consulate,-be takes both with equal
seriousness. And so he makes a
whole lot of mistakes. 1t is mis-
take, for example, for him to assert
that we inquired land had been in.
