GEORGE L. DOUGLASS CANDIDACY.
What the Representative Papers are
Saying About It.

The following few excerpts are taken
as a fair reflex of what the Republican
papers of the different sections of the
state are saying of Mr. Douglass and his
candidacy:
Geo. l. Douglass carried Sedgwick
county over his Republican opponent and
will be presented by that county as its can
didate for congressman at large. The
Journal is for him, first, last and all the
time.-Scandia Journal.
The complete triumph of Speaker Doug
lass iii Sedgwick county will be noted
with satisfaction all over the state. Mr..
Douglass is made of the right kind of
stuff and it is a genuine pleasure to see
such man get TO the front.-Lawrence
World.
Sedgwick county unanimously endorses
Mr.. George l. glass, late speaker of the
house. Mr.. Douglass is firm Republi-
can, logical rsasoner and an excellent
speaker, and should receive the endorse
ment of every Republican in southwest
Kansas.-Republican Banner, Green's
burg
The Republicans of Wichita and Sedg-
wick county will present the name OF
George L. Douglass to the state eonven-
ton for congressman at large This suits
Us exactly. There can be found no Drawer,
truer or mora honest young man in the
state than Douglass. He is no politician
aud belongs to no crowd" We are I'M
Qualitiedly tor him in the interest OF good
and honest laws--Alma Enterprise.
In deciding TO support Geo. l. Douglass
for congressman at large the Republicans
Of Wichita and Sedgwick county acted
wisely and justly. Wisely, because Mr..
Douglass is pre-eminently the man for the
place-clesr headed, straight forward, ear
nest and honest. Justly, because of his
emiasnt services TO ths state he reflects
credit upon his home people and they
honor themselves in honoring him.-Gay
lord Herald.
The Republicans Of Rocks co.nty have
about unanimously agreed 70 supper:
HOG. George l. Douglass for congressman
at-largs in the state convention. Mr..
Douglass is a man whose ability as a pre-
siding officer AID legislator is universally
admired. and his spirit OF fairness has
been highly compiimeatsd by hrs political
opponents as well rs political friends As
a sneaker and dehaser he ranks smoaC
the most able in the state and in congress
he worid WELD a wide indaeDce.-Plaln-
vile Times.
Speaker Douglass swept Sed.vick co1n-
u like q flood He carried nearly every
country precinct, and IN twelve precincts

CHURN THEM UP.

There is more Indian treaty iugglery
on the taps, engineered. without doubt.
by cattle interests. The three million
and half of acres. of grass lands, tim
Der and streams. comprised in the Co
manche, Kiowa and Apache and other
lands and reservations, which everybody
thought was to be opened, are tied up in
some way, it seems, between the govern
ment and the Indians and the chances
seem now against these lands being
opened to settlement this spring. The
administrations excuse is that the treaty
is not a satisfactory one, presumably to
the Indians, but in reality to the cattle
men. The country includes the Wichita
mountains and is drained by the Red
river which forms the boundary line be-
tween Texas and these reservations on
the north. Oklahoma proper, and later
the strip, were subjected to like delay.
and for months and years, until the
pressure from the people could no long
er be withstood.
