REEKING WITH RoTrENNEss.

We hope that every Republican who
gets this paper will carry it around
with him until he has read to all his
Populist neighbors the letters of Ben
Glover and Judge Allen published
side by side on another page. MIR.
Clover was the first State President o.
the Farmers Alliance. He was one of
the original organizers of the Peo-
ple's party and was elected to Con-
gress from the Third district by 5000
majority but the rottenness of the
Lewelling administration is more
than he can stand. Judge Allen is
the Populist member of the Supreme
Court and his letter to 1t. Gov. Dan
iels, declaring that 1.-THE administra-
ton of affairs in some, if not all, of the
cities of the first class is Thoroughly
corrupt, and that this condition
"naeets sUith the sanction of the Gov
ernor ought to convince the mostobsti-
nate Populist that Gev. Lewelling is
utterly unworthy of any good mans
support. Out of the mouths of his
political friends and associates his adj
ministration has been shown to be
fairly reeking with rottenness.

Mr.. Green belonged to the old Ninth
Kansas Cavalry, and his talk was OF
peculiar interest to the dozen or more
of the comrades of that regiment who
were present.
After the speech there was lunch,
and after that was disposed of, Capt.
Slower, in a very neat and witty
speech presented to the guest of the
evening, the McCook Medal. This is
a large leather medal which Capt.
Slower manufactures and which is
humorously supposed to be presented
to the biggest liar who visits this
Post. So far only two men have been
thought worthy of it. The other one
is Col. Forsythe, of Montgomery
county. 1t is really a very handsome
medal and the man who gets it may
be certain that McCook Post has a
high regard for him as an all-round
good fellow. Mr.. Green responded
humorously and appropriately.
And after that there were good
stories until nearly midnight, and
everybody had fine time.
The next quarterly reunion and
cam fire will be held Nov. 8, and 1T
will be as good as this one was, or
better.
