Chairman Richardson Says Overmyer
Never Favored Woman Suffrage.
Chairman J. :. Richardson, of the
Democratic state central committee, says
David Overmyer has before this denied
the statements in the Populist literature
that he was a friend OF suffrage il 1882
Chairman Richardson says: at stands
to reason he never made the statements
accredited to him. for he has always
been opposed to woman suffrage. w hen
he was attending college IN Indiana a
lady friend went to him aud asked
him to look up the question of equal
suffrage and write his commencement
grafton in favor Of suffrage. David said
he would look the matter up and he did.
When commencement day came around
he delivered a mastery Grafton on suf-
frage, but it was in opposition to suffrage
and no one IN the audience was more
surprised than the lady who had asked
him to write on that subject This is a
fact and it is all the proof necessary that
Overmyer has always been opposed to
WOman's suffrage.

Ell DORADO Republican The squib m
the Lawrence World. concerning Major
Hoods candidacy for the senate. is very
unfair, to say the least The major came
to Kansas shortly after he left the Union
army, went to work and kept at it till he
has accumulated considerable property.
He is a hard worker and has had as
much Of the rough and tumble Of wes-
tern life as any or Us. He is careful,
prudent business man, popular with
every body that knows him, Is gentle
man Of the most exemplary and temper
ate habits, and there is not man or
woman in the state who knows him that
is ready to say an unkind word Of him.
He has always been a Republican and
has always helped the party in every
campaign He is a cool headed man,
aggressive and successful and if his
friends desire him to be candidate for
the senate it does not authorize anybody
to say mean or untruthfuI things about
him.

TILLMAN AT WASHINGTON
saws He Won't Tolerate Any More Fool
ishness in south Carolina


ishness in South Carolina
WASHINGTON. Oct 17.-Governor Till
man. Of South Carolina, was at the
treasury department today and had an
interview with Commissioners Miller, OF
the internal revenue bureau, In regard
to a question on which there seems te
be 4 conflict between federal and state
authorities. Under the dispensary laws
of the State of South Carolina, distilled
spirits in the custody Of the United
states IN bonded warehouses belonging
to parties who have violated the provi-
sions of the dispensary law by selling
them within the state are declared to Pr
a nuisance, and on conviction the state
officers are authorized to seize and con-
fiscate the liquor. In all such cases the
governor proposes to tender the tax due
to the government and seize the spirits,
contending that the federal authorities
have no right TO interfere IN the matter.
Governor T=IIman INDUCED in the fol
lowing war talk on the general subject
of dispensaries:
81 propose to make everybody get out
of the road and obey the law. l urge all
good citizens to frown down all resist
ance to the law, and to cooperate with
the constituted authorities IN carrying 1t
out and preventing such unseenly and
disqraceful exhibitions as we had at
Greenville The town people who are
oDDosed to the law have nothing to gain
ior I have no desire in the world TO
employ any force and would be glad to
have the cooperation of the police and
the municipal authorities, but have all
the militia 1 need, and can concentrate
1000 men at any point in the state In
side Of forty-eight hours. While l would
hate to resort to any such measures, no
resistance will be tolerated The consta-
bles are going to work now and are gOlng
t. seacch all places where they have
reason TO know that whisky or liquors are
kept. Private residences will not be ex-
empt when NE have reason to believe
that they have been made depOts for the
storage Of whisky.
The constables viii not be allowed to
harass the people or to do anything to
provoke collisions and any reasonable
complaint against them will be promptly
investigated. Sheriffs and police viii be
expected to cooperate, and those NUM-
cipalities which prove derelict will re-
ceive no share of the profits, while it is
almost inevitable that a system of metro
politan police will be provided for all
such places when the legislature meets. -
Does that include Columbia and
/ Charlestong"
sOf course, specifically.
ssTrial justices who don't do their duty
will likely be relieved of the burdens OF
office, and if juries fail to convict change
I of venue will be tried
"The law has come to stay, and the
sooner that fact is recognized by the
whisky men and those who have opposed
it heretofore the better it will be for all
concerned"

In politics nothing ever "gOes back"
to what it was at a former period In
politics there is a movement forward as
in everything else. The advent Of the
Republicans to power is not to restore
what is old The party must grapple
with questions of the day and it must
advance with them. The silver ques-
ton can't be ignored and it can't be
lodged The party must be for free
silver or it must be against it. If it is
against it it will be defeated two years
from now, even if it is victorious this
fall Western Republicans must labor
earnestly with their goldbug brethren to
convince them that committing the
party to the gold standard or even an
evasion of the question, means destruc-
ton.

THERE are a l0tof insincere politicians
IN Kansas; they are in all parties. They
emit opinions one year that they 60 back
on the next year. The people forget
what they said until somebody accident
ally unearths an old speech. or letter, or
Newspaper article they wrote, and then
we see how insincere and inconsistent
they are. None of these politicians are
AT 60 hold Office. but the people let them
in because tbs people-that is
the decent people-don't want the bother,
abuse and worry connected with office
holding. We suppose the Offices will al
ways be theirs, but il In q good idea to
