THE opposition has been thoroughly
routed and victory for the plain people
OF Kansas is assured. The republican
campaign is one of obscenity and false
hood unparalleled In the history OF the
state. The question of issues is intire-
ly foreign to their stock in trade. They
have employed professional hellhounds
TO whom an oath is no more sacred than
the decalogue and golden rule to the
most savage being on the face of the
earth, to make affidavit TO boodling
and other acts of corruption practiced
by the administration. The populists.
however, have defeated them IN every
instance. and have proved themselves
innocent Of each and every one of the
charges preferred. The republican
state central committee has hired per
jurers and forgers, avowed gamblers.
confirmed drunkards, and men addict
ed to every vice known to the world
Not one reputable man has charged
the administration with corruption
If any OF these charges be true, why
is it that they are not confirmed by de
cent men. When such men as Pete
Kline work for the republican party. it
shows plainly which party is the cham
pion of the gambling, lottery and whis
key elements, and lawlessness in gen.
eral. Thus far the opposition has of
fered nothing that would be taken as
evidence. even in republican court.

If Gov. LeweIling or any of the state
officers is guilty of any of the charges
that the indecent republican press is
preferring. why don't some good repub-
iican like Joe Ady, for instance, take
the matter into republican court,
prove their allegations, and have officers
fined imprisoned and disqualified forth
with? There is plenty of law for such
a proceeding and il there is any evil
dence to support these charges, this
would be the proper course to pursue.
Besides, the republican party owns the
courts of the state and it would be quite
unreasonable TO suppose that a popu-
list would get the benefit OF a doubt.
The fact is, our republican friends
know there is no truth in the charges
and are afraid 10 start an action in
their own court. Anything for cam
paign thunder, is the motto of the Q. O.

people while they were IN power? The
people of tins state are not fools. Men
may scheme to beat them, but after the

WE ARE almost appalled, at the fact
that the Kiowa Journal will give voice
to letter that endeavors to blacken
the character of one of its best citizens.
one who has done more for the up
building and advancement of Kiowa
and her interests than perhaps any
other man. We refer to the Hardy
letter that styles Mr.. Campbell a cattle
thief. From the Cresset no one expects
any thing different. since such libellous
matter is the only thing admitted in
its columns and has been the acknowl-
edged sheet of mud and abuse for these
manyyears past. But with theJournal it
is different. Though a republican pap
er, it has not been in the habit of as
sailing the spotless characters of lnno-
cent men tor political gains heretofore,
but il seems that it, too, must grasp at
the last straw, in the vain hope Of saw
ing cause that is already lost. How
can the Journal expect the good will
of its constituency? How can it ex-
pect liberal patronage from the peo-
pie Of Kiowa when 1t is so ungrateful
as to thus libel one of her best citizens?

THE HARpYIETER.

We regret that Captain Hardy has
taken the course he has, in regard TO
the populist ticket. While it is not
our purpose TO do him an injustice, du-
ty to ourselves and others that he pro-
poses to duplicate, demands that we
correct statements that we know to be
false. We refused TO publish the Cap
tain's letter because we knew that it
was an uncalled-fOr attack on innocent
individuals, that it abounded in falsity
and fallacy which in our opinion land
his actions justify the opinionl was de-
signed and in part, executed by repub-
lican candidates and politicians. When
the Captain states that Wilson was
nominated through treacherous meth
DDS, he makes false statement. VIII
son was nominated fairly and squarely
by majority of the delegates of the
peoples party convention, and it be-
hooyes every broad and liberal minded
man to submit TO tho wishes or the ma
jorlty. Again, he implies that Landis
worked up the nomination of Mr.. Will
son. This is a statement that he can
never substantiate. Lands opposed
the nomination of Wilson and there
are numbers of men who stand ready
to corroborate US in this statement.
We deny that the INDEX is or has been
controlled or Influenced 10 any extent,
or in any manner by any man, bank or
corporation of any kind. While the
present management is not responsible
for articles appearing in the INDEX
last January, we are prepared to say
that MIR. Chandler was not the writer
of the articles that the Captain would
haye the public believe he was. Mr..
Hardy is wofully mistaken when be
says that none but ex-democrats were
favorable TO Wilson's nomination. We
have a list of the delegations and the
delegates, who voted for Wilson and
Patton, and any one is at liberty to
see the vote of the convention for him
self.
We have heard fIom several reliable
sources that the Captain and few 9TH
er republicans are taking special pains
10 circulate the letter through the
county; that he went to the trouble tC
have several hundred copies printed in
hand bill form 1.-THE Cresset did the
work. and gave up a number Of days tC
riding around and distributing them
Many rumors are rife as TO the Cap
tain's motive. 1t is said upon good au
thority, that Dobson and Hardy have
lately become bosom friends. that ht
Hardy has discovered many admira
Die points that the republican party
has lately achieved, that he made the
statement that "Dobson is infinitely
better than Wilson"
Why does the Captain rush into print
at this late day? Why didn't he begir
his TRADE Immediately after the con
vention? Is it barely possible that BIZ
and the republican central committed
were all this time at reaching an agree
ment, or did the idea OF sacred "prin
ciple' just strike him last week? WHY
is 1t that he travels over the county al
his own ~ expense to distribute hi
letter? These and many other ques
tionable circumstances need clearing
up before the people can entertain tha
high degree Of respect for the Captain
In which he was formerly held.
