SOME populists are circulating the
story that Will Lucas is going to with
draw from the race for county superin-
tendent of schools. We are authorized
to brand such statements as FALSE in
every particular. Mr.. Lucas is in the
race, and in it to win if the voters of
Barton county consider publications
and manhood. Because he has not
thrown up his school, neglected his
business in order to make canvas of
the county from the time of his nami
nation, is no reason why he should be
lied about

EVERY democrat should place an \
opposite the words Against the
amendment" Democracy is opposed
to all fads IN politics, and this latest
one, attempted to be foisted upon the
people of Kansas by the republican and
pOpulist parties, should meet with the
opposition of every honest man who
loves his state and respects the welfare
and exalted position of Kansas woman
hood. Watch your ballots carefully,
and put a cross in the square to the

THE complete democratic ticket
should be elected this fall, because it is
composed of the very best men for the
different positions. Democrats should
pay no attention to the republicans
who say: "a vote for democrat will
help to let popu!ist in, or the pOpu-
lists who say: "a vote for a democrat
will help to let republican in'' Stand
by the democratic tickes, and let the
reps. aud pops. look out for their own
ticket. Elect the best men to office
and you will thus be true to your con
yictions and help to build up your
party.

CY LELAND, with Morrill, and his
"barl'' for assistance, proposes to turn
the state government over to the very
gang whose very rottenness made the
skin slough off that $4,000 majority of
ours and left the skeleton of former
political greatness grinning on the
sands Of time, CHASTITY representation
of the effect of political death at the
hands of gang of the worst political
shysters and mountebanks that ever
existed in the state. The warning
should have been sufficiently plain but
here we are presented by the spectacle
of that same outfit buying the nomina-
ton for governor, and hoping not by
any merit they possess, but upon the
errors of a present administration to
slide their machine candidate into office
for the sole purpose of controlling the
state patronage for their own aggran-
diZement. -Goffs Advance trepublican).

This is the way an exchange describes
the candidate who is now abroad i'm the
land: Now is the time both early and
late TO shake the hand of the candidate.
He gasps your hand and draws you
near, as be pulls tho cork from bottle
of beer. If you are off on beer, and
never drink he'll flip cigar as quick
as wink. If you do not smoke and
do not quaff, he'll slap you on the back
AS he rolls out a laugh, and asking,
when, at what hour of day, you read
your bible, and kneel to pray; he'll beg
to be there and join with you, in asking
the Lord to help him through. And
SO he works both early and late, the
hopeful, aspiring candidate.

Government Time Signals.

As the governments time signals are
not generally understood, it may be said
that the United States time ball is drop
ped from the top of flagstaff on the
dome Of the Masonic temple as follows:
The time ball is hoisted to the top Of the
staff, $50 feet above the level of the
lake, five minutes before noon, central
standard time, every day Sunday ex-
cepted), remains mast headed five min
utes and is dropped by electricity exact
" at the instant of noon. Should any
accident occur by which the time ball is
dropped before the exact instant Of
noon, it will be hoisted again imme-
diately and left up until five minutes
after noon and then be slowly lowered,
instead Of being dropped Similarly,
should the time ball fail to drop exactly
at the proper instant, it will be kept up
until five minutes after noon and then
slowly lowered. Chicago Tribune
