"The Old Soldiers Friend." "

The right of the republican party te
he styled par ercelence the old soldiers
friend was demonstrated by the two
conventions which met in Kiowa cOun
ty recently.
In 1898 the republicans nominated
and elected an old soldier, Comrade
Eaton, as register. Shortly after bis
election Mr.. Eaton died, and the com.
missioners appointed Mrs. Eaton to fill
the position until the next general
election. AS Mrs. Eaton had filled
the position faithfully she went before
the republican convention asking to
be nominated for the office, but the
republicans ''sat down on her hard''
by nominating "some one who can
vote this tall.
At the request of friends, it is said,
Mrs. Eaton then announced that she
would make the race as an independ.
ent candidate.
When the populist convention reached
the position an old ex-rebel got the
floor and moved that no nomination
be made and that the convention
endorse the candidacy of Mrs. Eaton.
OF course she will be elected and il
will be demonstrated, just what some
of us learned long ago, that the repub.
lican party is the best friend of the old
soldier only so long as he can and will
serve their purpose by voting for theil
candidates.

is not friend to me.''

Republican Echos from Kiowa.

The republicans papers that are
calling Breidenthal a bank wreckeI
because he closed up the Kiowa county
bank, and basing the charge on the
Peters interview in which Peters claims
that the bank was solvent, have for.
gotten that when the Edwards county
bank failed it was freely asserted by
those supposed to know that the bank
would pay dollar for dollar, and how
did it pan out?' Why 1t paid -
cents Oh the dollar. In connection we
reprint few remarks by Will Bolton
Of the K,o,ca Signal, (republicaD, writ.

"Well you see how it is Bro. Frank!

Morrill, A GoIdbug.

In view Of the great amount of tall
lndulged in referring to Maj. Morrill,.
attitude towards silver, we print the
following:
Lam We'll satistis1 with the mes.
sage. am glad the president has
overlooked the tariff question long
enough to pay sonfe- attention to
money matters. 1t shows that the
president Is in favor of honest money
and In favor of a single gold standard
He is opposed to the free coinage of sill.
yer. and is in favor of mt oney recog.
niZed as the money by all countries
which means gold. l am more inter.
ested in the condition of affairs In New
York than anywheres else, just now
1t they don't get relief there soon
things will be much worse"
Thus spoke the candidate for COVER
nor, Maj. E. N. Morrill,, on August Sth
1898, to a journal reporter, and such
were the words of that prospective
candidate as published in that paper on
that date.-TOpeka Press.
The mistake the republicans make
is in trying to claim that Morrill, has
always been the friend of silver when
as matter of fact, his convictions (?)
are the result of the demand of the
republican managers that he get OH a
silver platform and SO he manufactures
one that he thinks will catch the silver
vote. The Major would have made a
much better impression had he honest
ly owned up his convictions and claimed
change of heart. An honest change
OF opinion is commendable; simple
catering to public opinion to catch
votes is contemplate.

EDITOR GRAPHIC:
Every man has right to ask for an
Office and to present his case plainly
and fairly before the people Just as
much so as he has right to ask for a
position of teaching school or working
OH a farm. This thing of insisting
that a man must run down in the
cellar and hide just to make the poor
office wear itself out limiting for him
is the bOshiest kind of bosh and thin
as,water. How easy it is for this
extremely modest man to quietly hire
a few confederates to shove the office
around after him. How many such
office-seekers have we to-day. If the
caucuses are conducted honestly and
honorably, and the Office seekers do
not try to manipulate the caucuses,
then you will have delegates that will
try and select good men for the differ
ent offices at your convention, and if
everything goes off harmoniously you
will have a good ticket in the field.
For Heavens sake do not fix up your
political states. Be Lien of honor and
principle! and the victory is yours.
