Judge Hadley, prominent Popu-
list Of wyandotte, said recently II
shall vote the Populist ticket with the
exception Of governor and attorney
general. My reasons for refusing to
vote for Lewelling and Little are the
corrupt methods by which they allow
this city to be governed in the man

A SANDER Upon Kansas Women

In his speech at Kansas City or
July 26th, in addition to thanking
God for the hot winds and droutf
that have blistered western Kansas
and ruined the corn crop in many
localities in the eastern half Of the
State, Governor Lewelling gave utter.
ance TO ialsehood that should bring
down upon him the execration Of
every Kansas man and woman and
bury him beneath a mountain Of In
dignation.
After alleging that the Kansas and
national debts will have to be paid in
blood he proceeded to say;
s'What can we hope for under con-
ditions that make ten girls appli-
cants for each available position
where one only can be favoredP What
becomes Of the other nineP They are
compelled 10 seek shelter with The wonen
Whose ways lay hold on hell. THAT is
mhat The present system is doing for u.s.. :"
The Topeka Capital says regarding
this insult to Kansas womanhood:
"The only answer to this piece Of H.
hammered impertinence and deliber-
ate Islander Is the overwhelming de-
feat at the polls Of the man who
utters it. II may be forgiven Gov.
Lewelling to howl calamity and bis
cheerful apostrophe to the hot winds
may be treated humorously, but
there is n limit to the forbearance Of
the people and Lewelling reached 1t
when he uttered the malicious lie
above quoted. Chairman Breidenthal
would be wise to stop the governors
dirty mouth before IL calls down the
indignant remonstrance Of fathers
and daughters in his own party"
The Atchison Globe which has ex-
pressed good deal Of sympathy for
Lewellng, in spite Of his plumbers,
says: "Govcrnor l.ewelling, says nine
out Of ten girls who seek employment
these hard times, are refused II, and
become fallen women Though he is
Of Kansas, he should be
taken by the back Of the neck and
kicked out Of Office for uttering such
shameless, dirty, unnecessary lies
And the suilraglsts who are standing
up so conspicuously for the sex
should make him apologize
No further comment Is necessary. |
The above covers the ground, Per-
maps such SANDER on Kansas woman
lood is to be expected from an admin
stration as corrupt as that which now
governs Kansas.

The death Of Ex-Governor Charles
Robinson removes from Kansas al
historic character and one OF the mel
who helped make Kansas great. Mr.
Robinson was a man Of strong ant
decided opinions, taking his owr
Judgment rather than that Of Others
and as result his personality had
much influence. In his later years hi
has been less happy in his political
affiliations and for some months has
physically been failing steadily. II
was q notable feature Of his character
that he liked young men. He liked
to encourage and help "the boys"
and many young fellows recall his
words and deeds Of kindness.

The decision of the Pennsylvania
Judge that nuns may wear their garb
and teach in the public schools was
just. The dress Of a nun is neat and
spotlessly clean while most Of the
nuns are well fitted TO be teachers,
The Judge was also right in ruling
that they must not, however, teach
the Catholic catechism. No church
creed or doctrine has any place in the

has not only conducted the Office with
its exacting duties with skill and
judgment but has won from the bar
and court many sincere commenda.
tons for his efficient work.
1t may not be out Of place to sketch
briefly his life history. He was born
at Boiling Springs, Cumberland
county, Pennsylvania. He attended
the common schools, taught school
and by close economy saved money to
give himself course at the Shippens-
burg State Normal school. Here he
graduated with honors, being elected
by his 81 classmates to deliver the
class grafton at commencement. He
then read law in Carlisle, Pa, in the
office Of Hon. +. 4. Beltzhoover, now
member Of congress from that dis
trict. He came to Abilene in the
spring Of 1886, taught school in Hayes
township the following winter, then
finished bis law course in the office Of
Hon. J. H. Mahan and opened an
office for himself.
He was stranger when he came
here but his talents and willingness
to work hard were recognized. He
not only gained clients but won
friends. He filled municipal Offices
with credit and his business prosper
ed. He was always the same accom-
friendly Sam Smith, and
always was ready to speak and work
Tor the party of his boyhood choice

Mr.. Smith by far the most fit and
worthy candidate for the place
before the people Of Dickinson county.
No mistake will be made by the
'oter who gives his vote for Sam
smith. In this year or any other
'ear he is a credit to the ticket and a
'redit to the county as an officer.

dwellings "Snubbing."

Governor Lewelling has been whin
ing around the State that he wa
"snubbed" by the State G. A. r. re
union at Hutchinson and was not in
vited to speak. Commander W. P
Campbell offers a little explanation
We hope every old soldier will read it

Grand Army Of the Republic il they

"Lewelling claims to have been too
young for soldier, but according t.
his own statement he is just one veal
younger than am, and | served three
and one-half years in the war. Lew
cling, by many Of his utterances and
much Of his conduct, has shown re-
peatedly, not only his contempt fol
the old soldiers, but his sympathy
and connivancc with law breakers and
anarchists. He is supposed to enter
tain opinions and sentiments that
would be in striking contrast to the
full flow Of patriotism found at our
reunions.
"Pcrsonally, | have always tried to
make myself believe that Lewelling
was better man than his utterances
and conduct would seem to indicate.
| met him at the Midland hotel at
Hutchinson early in the morning Of
Wednesday, the second day Of the
reunion. We talked over the progress
Of the reunion and gave him a cor
dial and even pressing invitation to
make us an address. This he declined
to do on the ground that his whole
time was taken up by appointments
previously made. | then asked him
II he would 60 out and see the camp
and chat with the boys awhile. TO
this, after some hesitation, he con-
sented. We then went to breakfast
