his beard and presents quite n startling re-
semblance to Senator Redlield Proctor. of
Vermont. who recently subjected himself TO
the same punishment. Col. Livingston ap-
peared rather shy yesterday morning, and
when greeting his friends invariably held his

Representative Case Broderick. of Kansas.
SAYS with satisfaction that Popuiism is dying
out in his state and that the Republicans will
probably elect an intelligent Governor this
year and send to the Senate a Republican sue
cessor to Senator Martin.
The Republican candidate for Governor is |
ex-Congressman +. n Morrfll, who was Mr. |
Brolerick's predecessor. The Democratic |
candidate is David Untermeyer. of Topeka |

fuse this year. owing to the unwiiiingDess of |
many of the former to 90 to the radical |
lengths OF the Populists, will; leave all three |
tickets in the field. and be of great assistance
TO the Republicans.
The Republican senatorial candidates for |
Senator Martins place are numerous. Per- |

Burton, of Abilene, and Major Hood, OF En-

Mr.. Broderick, ''and 1t will soon regain what
it has lost in the past in the estimation OF the
people of the East, who have regarded it as
country of .Llewelling's' and 'semi-repudia-
ton. Mr.. Broderick does not admit that
this has ever been true. but recognizes taat
the state has had that reputation.
There Is not a state as young as Kansas
that ls as much improved at the present
time" added Mr.. Broderick. .'The people
are beginning to pay up their debts and are
daily getting in better condition. Over-spectl-
lation in land hurt us in the past and the ina
bility to pay liabilities incurred in the pur-
chase thereof and consequent foreclosure led
to hardships which made agitation popular.
