Success of the Republican Ticket in Kan
sas Assured.
In forecasting the probable result Of
next Tuesdays election in Kansas, ex-
Senator ingalls,, in letter in the North
Topeka Mail, says:
'sPolitical predictions, especially In
Kansas, are apt to be premature It Is
difficult to foretell what will happen till
it has occurred. so that it is much
more satisfactory to prophesy after
tics is not one of the exact sciences.
It has no formulas nor demon
strations. In every campaign there are
unknown forces that elude the poll taker
and upset the calculations of the village
statesman.
"The philosopher who said that figures
do not lie could not have been familiar
with the mathematics OF campaign
committees, which seldom tell the truth,
and my faith in Republican sue
cess does not depend on statistics
of population. nor estimates of ma
jorities. It springs rather from
confidence in the conscience, patriot
ism and intelligence of the people, who
have given convincing proof of the ca
pacitY for self government and their at
tachment to American institutions.
"Populism.would drag every one to the
level of the lowest; Republicanism would
lift every one to the level of the highest.
hope. Populism Is "A sigh and a groan;
Republicanism is a smile and a hurrah.
POpulism regards this government as
the worst on earth; Republicanism be-
lieves it is the best Populism repre-
sents all the dangerous tendencies, the
pernicious remedies, the exploded
theories and abandoned experiments
of modern society; Republican
ism offers an established system
of American policy. baseds upon the su-
premacy of American manufactures,
commerce, mining and agriculture, test
ed by the unexampled progress and
prosperity of a quarter of a century-it
stands for the country. for the flag, for
the home, for equal opportunities and
just laws, for individual liberty and the
sOve reiRnty Of the people. Populism
and Democracy have been weighed and
found wanting. The history of the past
two years in Kansas and the nation is a
record of imbecility, incApacity, disloy-
atty, perfidy and dishonor, at home and
a broad, which has fatigued public indig-
nation. And this is why L believe Kan
sas will fall into line with Maine and
Vermont, aud repudiate the alien and
polluted rabbie of harpies and adven-
turers that have defiled our recent annals.
We know when we have had enough"

The RepuhIiean Farade.

Topeka seldom sees any thing in the
way of a political demonstration which
equals that of this afternoon. The pro

more voters in the first division Of the
procession than IN the entire Populist
demonstration this morning In the first
division there were 421 voters and I57
women. There were lat wagons In
the entire procession there were !. .249
voters.
The first division was in command Of
A. J. Kane and comprised Republicans
from North Topeka and the townships
north of the river. A delee alton Of 50
bicyclists led the procession and were
followed by MarshalFs band Then
came a crowd Of footmen and the most
laughable feature OF the parade came
