j. Ralph Burton, of Abilene. vii
speak for the republicans here nex
Tuesday.
This man comes to US heralded b,
many scandals, with record TO
morality more unsaYory than that O.
Breckenridge, in that his vices hav,
been open and fragrant and of {
Character unfit for publication. (Any
one who doubts this can get furthe
information on the subject at thi:
ofice.)
His business and political record i.
just as black for he testified in hi.
own behalf that he accepted money
when member of the legislature from
a certain insurance company ant
claimed he had a right to act as theil
attorney to secure legislation While /;
member of the legislature and accept
pay for such services. In other word.
while accepting pay from the state to
legislate he also charged this company
for his SERVERS. lie is also charged
with accepting $500 from the Kiows
county people for assisting them t.
divide this county and today he is pos
ing before the people as an exponent
of Righteousness. A man with his
black record is not to be believed un.
der oath.
The Hon (?) J. G. Wood, of Topeka
while stumping this county laid grea,
stress on one of his assertions, i. e.
that the national platform of the peo-
pies party adopted at Omaha, had moi
one word to say in reference to the old
soldiers and proceeded to draw conclu
sions that the peoples party was moi
friendly to the veterans of the great
rebellion. Now the exact facts in the
case are these: The preamble of our
national platform recites at length the
condition of the country and the
causes that have led up to it. The
platform proper is a declaration of
what We consider would be beneficial
to all if crystalIzed into laws. After
the platform number of supple
mental resolutions were adopted,
among which we find this: ''Resolved
That we pledge our support to fair and
liberal pensions to ex-union soldiers
and Sailors"
This is Il fair sample of republican
campaign argument. An attempt to
na,sledd. The party leaders are stoop-
ing very low when they attempt to
grin victory at the expense OF their
manhood.
The good people in the vicinity of
the Columbian school house, with
then customary energy, have organ
lied social, literary and political de-
batting club, holding their meetings on
Saturday evenings. The pretty new
school house with it's neat and tasty
furniture and surroundings is an en-
inently proper place in which to dis
seminate the new ideas of political
and personal freedom, and our friends
ara to be congratulated OH starting
under such favorable auspices. Last
Saturday night the principal speaker
was j. E. Wire, who for an hour and
a quarter expounded peoples party
doctrine. 1t is the intention to keep
up the meetings through the winter.
Mr.. Blue, republican candidate for
cOngressman-at-large, in his speech at
Larned referred to the foreigner, who
lie said was the ''scum of Europe with
a torch in one hand and bomb in the
other. Topeka Press.
AT Longs meeting in Union town
ship, Mcpherson county, one of the
republican banners was so revolving
that the Swedish minister of one of
the local churches asked that 1t be
taken down. and it was done.
1t is probable that just before cleo
tion the country will he flooded with
affidavits purporting to be genuine,
charging that the signer personally
paid money to members of the state
for protection to lie
gal occupations.
The republicans of this state must
be short OH confidence and long on
cash Or they wouldn't be importing
such noted republicans as Mckinley
and Reed for the campaign.
A. G. VanShaick, chairman of the
A. P. A, notifies the republican
leaders of New York state that in
case any name il placed on the re-
publican ticket that Individually OF

against the ticket. And still Kansas
