my vote can be controlled by any one or
that l can be whipped into the support
of any party or any candidate by United
States salaried officials assisted by
Cove county ''Fool- Worker" who, while
a candidate for office in his own county
is attempting to manipulate the politi-
cal action of the voters of this.
Ny father never did nor does he now
control my vote, neither can it be
bought, controlled or influenced by Mr..
KirtIey or any of his Land Office col
leagues. The insinuation that l twill
want something after awhile" and that
my political action can be influenced by
the promise of some position is too low,
mean and contemplate to be thought
of by any one but political demagogue.
have worked without fear or favor for
the candidates put forth by my party
when l considered their qualifications
and character worthy of the respect and
support of the people, but I will not be
coaxed or driven into supporting any
one whom l believe unfit for the posi-
ton to which they aspire no matter to
what party they belong or how many
Cool Workers are at its head.
No doubt Mr.. Kirtley knows how to
work fools who are members of school
boards. The very fact that he ever got
a school to teach would indicate the
truth of that statement. but 1 did not
expect him to inform us of that fact so
willingly. have never found it neces
sary yet, Mr.. Kirtley, to work any one
in order to obtain school, neither have
| found it necessary to stand in with the
board, for 1 have never yet found a
school board low enough in the scale of
animal intelligence to attempt to inf1u-
ence the political action of the teacher
in their employ. School boards do not
generally inquire as to the political
faith of an applicant for their school nor
do they use their power OF employing
persons as teachers to control said
teachers vote. Such insinuations are
below any one but chronic office-seeker
whose influence amounts to about as
much as feather in Kansas cyclone.
And now in conclusion let me say
that the services of Mr.. Kirtley and his
Land Office colleagues as "Fool-Work-
ers" are not needed in this county, for
if they can not conduct a campaign on
principles and without heaping personal
abuse upon the honest citizens of this
county whose names are not mentioned
in connection with any office they had
better seek some more congenial cline
where man is honored for minding
other peoples business instead of his
own. Very respectfully,
n T. EOrro-TpyNJAN

An Answer to :eFool- w orker.' -

President VIM. Stryker, of the Cen
trail Normal college at Great Bend, is
reported as saying that a majority of
the students attending the State Agri-
cultural college at Manhattan are Popu-
lists. This is doubtless one of the reck-
less assertions for which the egotistic
professor is noted in Normal institutes
and other Teachers meetings. His bull
headed egotism and brainless self-con-
ceit are his chief stock in trade. In run
ming over our personal acquaintance
who have been or are now students of
the Agricultural college, taking them
just as they come from three different
counties in the state, we recall one pop
ulist-a very precocious boy whose pa
says he is a competent surveyor because
his pa had surveyors outfit until said
son was years old--and fourteen pupils
belonging to other political parties. We
presume this is a fair proportion OF the
Populists in the Agricultural college at
the present time.

A Gang of Ingrates.

Democratic Messenger, Eureka.
The Populists of Kansas are making a
dirty, mean flight on the Democratic
State ticket They do not hesitate to lie
UNANIMOUSLY concerning the leaders of
the party that has assisted them to
power in the past. But for the demo-
cratic assistance in 1892 LeweIling would
now be down at Wichita struggling to
keep his little old butter-and-egg bust
ness afoat. Breidenthal would be
waiting for the insubstantial and elusive
returns of some Topolobampo scheme
and State Printer Snow would be back
in Franklin county living with his first
wife and editing his Ottawa Journal.
All these fellows have, the Democratic
party gave them, and now they show
their gratitude by attempting to stab
the Democracy in the back. The at
tempt will fail; the Populist state house
gang will sink back into the obscurity
for which they are so admirably quail
fed, and if will be demonstrated anew
that ingratitude meets with its deserved
punishment, even in politics.

Next Tuesday is election Let
every republican voter IN the county go
to the polls and vote the republican
ticket straight from alpha to omega,
from top to bottom. Last year the re-
pubhcans carried ninety-six of the
Legislative districts of the state and if
the same thing is done this year, and it
can be done if the Republicans do their
duty, the lower house will be Republic
can by an increased majority and Re-
publican senator will be elected to take
the place of fusionist John Martin. The
State Republican ticket will be elected
by good round majority and the bood-
ling outfit now pillaging the state and
living off of the fat of the land will be
rebuked. In this judicial district the
nominee is competent, conscientious
and has been reckoned one of the closest
and hardest students ever since his adj
mission to the bar. He is man of ju-
dicial mind and temperament and
worthy the confidence of every intelli-
gent voter who desires to see justice
fairly and impartially dealt out. BY the
admission of our opponent the republic
can ticket of the county is composed of
good men and for the administration of
local affairs good men is one prime and
necessary qualification. Other things
being equal, a Republican is better
county official than fusionist because
he advocates principle, instead of a
mongrel lot of ideas COTTON up to catch
votes. The county Republican ticket is
strong one, every man on it is clean
deserving citizen whose interests are
identified with those OF the county and
the interests of the county will be we'll
administered by them. We believe
every man on it is worthy and will be
elected by handsome majority when
the votes are counted.

Almost any kind of a voter can vote
for the man of his choice but the true
blue Republican is the one who will
vote for his party nominee. We can't
always all be suited. We don't all see
alike but when the majority decide who
shall be our standard bearers it becomes
our duty to accept our decision whether
we like it or not. Our government is
founded upon the principle that a ma
iority shall rule. In no other way can
a free government or a political party
be perpetuated.

"A disposition to trade votes is some
times manifested and developes on the
day of election. No republican can con-
scientiously do that in the face of the
abominable campaign which our oppo-
nents have waged this year. Birds Of
q feather flock together is an old saying
and one worthy of all acceptation this
year. A man who for the sake of get
ting few votes will sneak into another
party for single campaign even is on
the road to become one of that party
Do republicans want to countenance
such moves on the part of any man? If
not, say SO by voting the ticket with Re-
publican at its top, and vote it straight
down the column,

In the nomination of county at
torney the populists are both consistent
and inconsistent-con in as much
as they do not believe in having an at
torney who is lawyer, or much of a
lawyer, and inconsistent in as much as
they profess to hate with a deadly
hatred any representative of immense
corporate or railway interests. It is
quite generally known that the man
whom they have endorsed has been the
representative of the land department
of the Union Pacific.

-"Redeemer," that's a good word
In the first place it shows that there is
something to redeem, and what is itP
Kansas! We want to redeem Kansas
from the curse of being run by thugs
and anarchists. We want to redeem
the good name of the state from the as
pensions cast upon it by the present adj
ministration. We want TO redeem the
financial credit of the state. We want
to redeem the names of our girls from
the SANDERS flung out to the world by
Governor LewelIing. We want to re-
deem our charitable institutions from
the management of inscriptions knaves
and be-takers. We want to redeem
ourselves in the eyes of all our sister
states and make amends for having
slept at our posts, and having allowed
the enemy, the Cloths and Vandals of
civilization to come in and despoil our
state. Yes redeemer is a good word It
shows in the second place that there is
some competent power that is going into
the redeeming business, and what is
that? 1t is the Republican party. Come
on and enlist under the banner of Ere
deemer." 1t will do you good. We see
the need of redemption, we will be re-
deemers, and Kansas will be redeemed,
and don't you forget it for a single min
ute. The only question is, will you help,
will you be redeemer, will you take
some of the credit to your own self of
having redeemed Kansas from the curse
of anarchy2''

-Populists have been driven to such
desperate straits and have resorted to
such unfair means for winning votes
that it will be no surprise to hear at the
very last moment or on the day of cleo
ton some base, unfounded vile SANDER
will be sprung on some of our candidates.
We wish to ask all our friends to con-
slider the sort of campaign the populists
have conducted, and having done SO,
we feel that no reliance has been placed
in any of the trickery schemes which
the combined fusionists may spring as
a last resort.

Now is the time both early and late
to shake the hand OF the candidate. He
grasps your hand and draws you near

beer. Ifyou're "off" on beer and never
drink, he'll flip a cigar as quick as a
wink; if you do not smoke and do not
quaff, he'll slap your back as he rolls
out a laugh, and asking when, at what
hour of the 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, hopeful, aspiring
candidate.-Ex.

IS. S. Ashbaugh delivered very fair,
forcible and effective address at Collyer
last Saturday afternoon 1t gives us
pleasure to know that the populist cand-
idates led by Ben G. Rich were present
and had an opportunity to hear the
truth about free silver and the fat fake.
It is significant that none of them offer
ed a single objection to a single state
ment made by Mr.. Ashbaugh although
abundant opportunity was offered. 1t
was only after the speaker was gone and
out of reach that Ben attempted to con-
tradict his statements, but counter
statements unsupported by proofs de-
ceive no one regardless of their source.

the most important our people are called
upon to fill at the election next Tues
day The settlement of estates, probat-

licenses and the legalization of marriage
contracts are all important matters,
often involving immense financial in
tertsts and the most serious conse-
quences. All these things, including
the guardianship OF minors and the fee
BILE minded, make it especially desirable
that our probate judge be man Of
careful, considerate. conservative tenn
permanent and strict probity. 1t is also
necessary that he be a man Of more than
ordinary legal ability. Mr.. S. R. Cow
lex, the Republican candidate, possesses
all these qualifications. 1t is no dis
paragement of his opponent to say that
Mr.. Cowick is his equal in every respect
and far superior in most of them. After
a careful consideration of these weighty
matters no doubt large majority of
our voters will cast their ballots for Mr..
