A Fine Specimen.
Winfield Free Press,

Winfield Free Press.
We give below a letter written by
Mr.. Clover four years ago to this pa
per. We were not its editor thep,
but copy it exactly as it appeared at
that time. We want everybody who
has read his letter stating his reasons
for joining the republican party to
compare it with this one and Judge
If the same person wrole them both.
The letter stating his return to re-
publicanism, which was no doubt
written by the kindergarten editor of
the republican committee, is classical,
has well rounded periods and is fault
less as to composition. This one
speaks for itself:
HUTCHINSON, KAs., Aug. Is, 1890
EDITOR FREE PRESS;-If you care
to use any OF your space to refute the
lies published by the Arkansas City
Traveller and other papers. You NAV
say that the story recently published
in the Traveller to the effect that |
was copper head during the war or
anything but IA dyed in the wool re-
publican, is simply lie and is only
the beginning of the work outlined
by the great "alenatOr" and the car
rying out of his orders to kill, mutt
late and destroy. Hire HesSians.
bride mercenarieS, get votes in what
ever way possible. They will not smell
bad, but will count. For some time
have believed in the principles of
the alliance, but not any more than
the Dodge City resolutions call for
now, for the purpose Of winning the
election and betraying the people, nor
any more than the republican plat
form Of che state called in 1878. The
difference is, my opinions are honest.
while theirs is to catch votes and be-
tray every pledge. This is the extent
of my detection from the republican
party.
These jackals in human shape, such
as the Traveller editor is, who would
whet their knives on their fathers
tOmbstOnes to cut their mothers
throat should she stand between
them and the schemes of robbery
that have been Matched in their inhu-
man hearts anG beSOtted brains.
1t is past belief that a flend in hui
man shape could be found this side of
the internal regions who would seek
u continue this hell-bOrn system
that sends fathers and mothers TO the
poor house or insane asylum and chill
dren out in the cold world to wander
up and down the face of the earth
homeless and friendleSS, but such can
be found in the infamous pap-sucking
brood Matched by the heat of polit-
ical corruption in the dirty pool of
party politics and nurtured and kent
alive by the infamous Doodle system
of which Brice, Quay and Dudley are
fitting types. / am not certain that
the same thing edits the Traveller
that did two years ago, but if he does,
| remember that he passed as a min
lister of the gospel, a follower of the
meek and lowly savior, and went reg
ularly to the Sabbath school and sang
with the children:
81 am Jesus little lamb,
| Happy all day long am"
and eXhorted each one to keep their
eyes on Jesus. hope for the sacred
ness of che christian religion that
this killing, destroying, mutilated is
MT the same one. More Anon,
