Kansas has produced the most
UNIQUE character as candidate for
office to be found in any State in
the Union. This man, Hugh Cam
eron, one of the picturesque figures
of Kansas since the days Of Jim
Lane, announces his candidacy for
Congress, in the Second Congress
sional District, subject to the will
of no convention, but to the people
when they shall go into the Aus
tralian booths to cast their votes.
He declares that he is neither a
Republican, Democrat nor Populist,
but he proposes to go to the home
of all the voters and convince them
that it will be to their interest to
send him to Congress.
His plan of campaign will be as
novel and peculiar as have been his
habits of life for the past third of a
century. With his old and faithful
mule, that has been his friend and
companion for more than Is years,
he intends TO penetrate every neigh
borhoOd in the nine counties
in the district and appeal tc
the citizens to cast Off the party
yoke and vote for their best inter.
ests. Until forced to do so by the
early frosts, he will wear no shoes
holding TO bis established custom
OF going barefoot during the sum
mer months.

who thronged to Washington on a

With their privilege of doing as they
pleased, regardless of laws or ordi-
lanees, as an infringement upon their
lights. The Populists do not go quite
IS far as this. They probably use
grass" as q synonym of rights and
privileges which they think they
,laim under the law or seek to secure
,y law. And so they take up the cry
IS warning to the Money Power and
he other "hidden and abhorent
orces" which they consider to be now
the Government.
1t is just as well for them and for all
'thers to understand, however, that
he people at large-the great majority
# institution-respecting and law-abid-
ng citizens-can use symbols and |
