'sSTALwARTIsM' and ''fusionis ts''

the democrats of Kansas this year.
There is no division of the party.
There are doubtless a few voters in the

democracy, but who viii continue vot-
ing the republican ticket-if there is
anything in it' to them. The bulk
of the party, however, Are done with

A FOOL doctor by the name of
Thompson, who lives up at Norcatur,
says the Hays City Sentinel, went to
his room the other night for the pur-
pose of giving his partner, who roomed
with him, fright. He knocked mys-
teriously at the door, and when his
partner opened it he yelled ''booh!''
The partner boohed all right, but did
it with A x-shooter. The first shot
blew off bunch of Thompson s whis-
kers, the second caught him in the coat
tails as he took header over the ban
lister. In all probability Thompson
will never again be able to say "booh''
to a goose. That Thompson was a
bigger fool than the other Thompson S
colt

The democrats of Kansas, in CON
Yention assembled, declared their
allegiance to free coinage of silver at
the ratio of Is to l. Thousands of
republican voters know full well that
that is what nine out of ten of the vot-
ers of Kansas would like to see brought
about-the free coinage of silver.
Will all the free coinage republicans
stand by the gold standard candidates
and the straddle-bug platform of the
republican party? Or will they see the
manly, honest course of democracy and
help us with their votes?
