FIGHT, YE TERRIERSl


Republican politicians are already
beginning to fight among themselves
In every part Of the state like Kilkenny
cats over the various nominations, and
as the battle wakes warm they are
to tell facts about each
other that show up the dark spots ON
the records of the would-be candidates,
that while highly interesting to the
public sre not calculated to give the
people a very high opinion of their
honesty and integrity, but illustrate
wildly the character and calibre Of the
politicians that run the republican
party In this state. Kansas City,
Kansas, has two candidates for gov
ernor aud their Jealousy has become
90 fierce that they have begun to
''speak out in meeting very plainly.
George w. Martin. the editor Of the
Gazette, il one and Nathanial Barnes,
the mayor Of the city, is the other. 1t
seems that Barnes got the edge on
Martin ut a few meetings of republi-
cans lately held in the city, and Martin
became so d,sgruntled that he opened
his batteries Oh Barnes IN n double
loaded editorial, from which the fol-
lowing is an extract.
"N0w the proposition that the dele
gates from Wyandotte county shall be
given to Mayor Nathaniel Barnes for
governor, that the republicans Ut the
state, embracing IT'S, 900 men Of moral
and political con, lotions, shall make

Barnes comes back ut Martin in Ill
interview and shows that Martin is nG
better that he IS. Speaking of Mar.

1t is very evident from the maneuv
