Hon. Charles Curtis of Topeka, was in
the city last night, returning from Butler
county. where he mace d speech yesterday.
Mr. Curtis Is member of congress from
the Fourth district and is tue only native
hansan, and what might be called purely
American, in the Kansas congressional
delegation. He was born i'll Shawnee
county thirty-four years ago and has
plenty Of Indian blood flowing through his
veins.
When asked what his chances were he
had no hesitation in saying that he would
be reelected beyond a doubt and by a
larger majority than before.
How do the Republicans in your dis
trict feel?'
They are very confident and very en-
thusiastic. l have been in Kansas all my
life and | have never seen Republicans
manifest such hopeful spirit or such a
determination to succeed. IL is really
astonishing how tie people turn out to our
meetings If they were all Republicans
who have attended my recent meetings
we will have clean sweep this fall; if they
are not all Republicans it shows that the
opposition are willing to hear Republican
claims and be convinced of the truth.
Popullst party 1t was next to impossible TO
get the opposition to come out and hear
or people speak, and there was 40 other
means of resching them since they refused
also to read Republican newspapers The
1ncompetency OF the Democratic admins
tration at Washington and The scandals of
the Populist administration at Topeka, as
well as all over the commonwealth where
state Institution is located, caused them
TO stop and think and find where they
were at and where they were going to.
These people are thinking very hard
and very seriously now and they are also
listening. / AIN confident that the entire
stale ticket will be elected and that Kan
sas will send a full delegation of Republi-
bans to congress.
The meetings indicate a Republican
avalanche; they are better attended than
the Republican meetings held in the en-
thusiastic campaign of 1888, when Benja-
min Harrison was elected and Kansas gave
its lannon's Republican ma jority.
"Youg district has a big colored vote:
how will they go ?"
1.-The colored people in my district are
as true as steel to the Republican party ex-
cept, of course, those who held Office under
the Pop administration. The colored
people are better readers than they are
given credit for, and they know the record
OF the Pops III congress on the measures
affecting their race. There was not "A
single Popnlist member in congress, from
Kansas or any other state, who did not on
all occasions vote and work against
measures of interest and benefit TO the
colored race in the south. There is
nothing in the congressional record more
conspicuous shan this fact. The colored
people have not single friend of any note
in the Populist party, either in or out of
congress"
Mir. Curtis left for Topeka last night to
spent Sunday at home

Gentry made every cent OF it for him. MI

The records Of these horses. to say moth
ing of the record of Sam Throwbridge's

superiority of Sedgwick county for the
raising of speedy horses. They get the
bone, wind and muscle in this climate, and
that is the secret of the whole thing.

REED CONVICTED AGAIN.
Man Who Killed Ike Hopper Gets a Worse
Dose Than Before.

The Wellington Daily Mail of last even
ing has the following:
The third trial Of Isaac c. Reed for the
murder OF Isaac Hopper in Wellington on
the 21st day of May, 1892, was completed
in Winfield to which city the case had
been taken on "A change of venue. At $50
O'Clock after being out for five hours, the
jury brought in verdict of guilty OF
murder in the first degree. The jury was
polled and each member announced that
the verdict read WAS in accord with the
finding. County Attorney Carver then
asked that the prisoner be given into the
custody of the sheriff of Cowley county to
be kept until he was sentenced. Judge
Jackson made the order and the now noted
prisoner was again placed IN a cell No
motion for new trial was made, but IL Is
presumed that one will be made, and if so
sentence will not be pronounced upon the
prisoner until the motion Is passed on.
The court room was crowded when the
verdict was about to be rendered, but no
expression of feeling was allowed by tue
court. The prisoner Is said to have taken
the verdict very hard indeed, although at
the time il was read he displayed no emo
tiop, merely dropping his head as con-
demned man would. Mrs Reed and Mrs.
Hopper notwithstanding sensational
story reported here this morning that they
heard the verdict read and Immediately
fell into each others arms and began cry
ing, were not in the court room when the
verdict was read. They were at q hotel
near by and when the news of the result of
the case was taken TO them, took on"
terribly until early this morning, Mrs.
Reed, in particular. having physician i'll
attendance until 3 O'clock.
The verdict can mean but one sentence
hanging-which, as the governor would
probably not sign the warrant, would be
in effect imprisonment for life
The verdict in the previous trial was
murder in the second degree, and the SEN
tence twelve years IN prison.
The verdict mas been the principal SUBJ
ject OF conversation on the streets today.
