'em now" After putting a long point
OH the same lie sailed in with much
gustO and wind to finally dwaked from
his eloquent train of thought to find
that there had scarcely been any pops
appointed out there, and that the rep
ublican hold-overs were alone RESPONSE
BILE for what had happened.
The old man had good sixty days
rest during which time he praised
Grover Cleveland's gold standard, be-
fore the governor issued his tramp
circular" when he thought to himself
''I've got 'em now, sure Upon this
occasion we are told he wrote so much
and so fast that new man Lad to be ad-
ded to the editorial staff i'll capacity of
pencil sharpener, to keep the old man s
inspiration from getting cold on him
wlule pairing down the stub for further
use.
On this matter we thought that the
old greenbacker would never stop
dilating. lie was bound and deter
mined that all the tramps in the world
should cone to Kansas and set up d
shop; but marry Il tramp more came
than was here. 1t was no lack of per-
sistent advertising on the part of the
Capital either, but the. paper has no
circulation or the tramps are dead onto
the old mans game of misrepresenta-
ton. AT least they came not, and
finally the Capital turned it's atten-
ton to the Lease affair; Which it knows
more about than anyone else.
Now, realizing that there has got to
be something done for next years CAM
paign, the 'Majah' has renewed his gem
eral wild charges of incompetency. and
occasionly says something about an
honest dollar and .'stand up for Kan
SaS.'
If the Capital is anything it is both
ridiculous and amusing and its editor
is in I; wonderful sight of trouble,
judging from his spasmodic fits.
One of the most humiliating scenes
of late here in the Capital City was the
| spectacle of the great and poDderous
desk-pounder, republican campaigner
and only candidate for Attorney Gen
eral, F. p. Dawes, of Clay Center,
Kansas, asking the mercy of United
States judge Ior having, through igno-
rance lie said, disobeyed an order Of
his court. The judge accepted the
apology and released him and Others
interested, except Sheriff Lands, who
was assessed to pay the costs and
about $1,000. 1t is not necessary to
state that the sheriff is populist and
that the lawyers interested in the Case,
and who made out the papers and
gave them to the sheriff to serve, were
all republicans. This decision reminds
us of a decree handed down by an Old
country justice one time, where all
parties were set free and the constable
assessed to pay the costs.
J. A. Smith, the ''lawyer who was
arrested at Kansas City OH the charge Of
libel has had his Preliminary hearing and
been bound over to the district court.
His alledged libelous letter contained
the same charges which Mrs. Lease
has talked about so much, but instead
of proving them, the defence has resort
ed TO legal technicallties, and hopes
to get the case dismissed without ever
trying to prove Il single charge. 1t
occurs to your correspondent that RICH!
here is the prettiest opportunity ever
offered for Mrs. Lease to assist heI
friend Smith to prove the allegations
she has been making against the ad.
ministration, of boOIllng.
Thousands of people in all parties
are patiently awaiting the proof.
Wind don't count any more, the re-
publican politicians have long ago lie
forled the atmosphere.
