WALKER FOR LONG.


 JASPER, Aug. 1S.-[Special. l-In the beat meetings held inlthis.county today to elect delegates to the county congressional convention, which convenes August 25, Hon. Thomas L. Long carries the county solid with one exception, Corona beat. This splendid victory was partly caused by the arbitrary rulings of the four congres. sional committeeman who met here August IA and ordered primaries and prorates. It was evident that their whole proceedings in overriding the county executive co d. mittee was in the interest of Bankhead, but the effect was only to stimulate our people to action, and the result is that Walker rallied to the banner of one of her illuslrious sons.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Aug. 1S.-The Davidson County Republican convention, held here today, broke up in a row between the white and colored delegates, or at least there was a split, resulting in two conven- tions being held in the same hall, with all most inextricable confusion.

So LONG as the Republicans thought there
was a chance for fight between Mrs Lease
and Governor Lewelling, they were prodigal
with fulsome praise Then, she was greatest
woman OH earth and the only true refor1ner III
the state. Now, however, since Mrs. Lease
has declared herself in favor of the election of
the whole Populist ticket-declared that all per-
sonal grievances must be buried and forgotten
those human ghouls and character-assassins are
at work trying to blacken her character The
latest fake is that she advised 7. l.. Dixon and
A. A. Dixon, husband and wife, for a time
steward and matron of the asylum for the deaf
and dumb, at Olathe, to 'hX" themselves while
holding their positions, and to charge it up to
maintenance and repairs of the institution.
These people claim that she advised them to
rob the state of enough to buy farm. The
gang of liars who are running the Republican
machine imagine that all they have to do is to
set their mud-mill to work and grind out grist
of lies, and the people will swallow them, no
matter how improbable. This gang OF pimps
and hellions would manufacture affidavits to.
blacken the character of Jesus Christ if they.
thought that by so doing they could add one
vote to the ticket of the party whose candidate
for governor is robber of the poor. usurer
and hvpocrite, and whose nominee for con-.
eressinaii-at-large is bank-wreckerya defrauder
of his fellow man, and whose immoral record
would drive dog out of glue-factory. Their
ticket is, in the main, composed OF Just that
kind of FOUL carrion-eating birds, who feed on
filth and corruption, whose breath smells OF the
Joints and dirty holes-in-the-wall which they
infest, and the odor thereof rises to Heaven and
causes the angels to hold their noses. But, all
the vile filth lies and vtuperation which
this flock of, sinking buzzards can heap. upon
true refor1nets and friends Of the people will do
them no harm.

THAT CORNING TICKET.

Ou Tic HlSl page, VIC SpSdk vi Ills iii'''Ni,
but, since printing that page, we learn that the
board of review, which had the ticket under
advisement, has refused to allow the ticket to
be placed on the official ballot, for two reasons:
one, that the name "Populist," adopted by the
Corning men, is synonymous with that of 'Peo-
ple's party" and was the commonly-accepted
name of the Peoples party the other reason
that the petition nominating the candidates did
not contain 500 bona 6de signatures as required
by law.
There is not the shadow Of a doubt that the
name 'Populist' was given to the ticket tor the
purpose of confusing the voter, nor is there any
doubt that the sole purpose of the origlnators OF
the ticket was to assist the Republicans. J. A.
Smith, who has been opposing the adlnlnistra-
ton, testified that w. H. Bennington, the Cor
ming nominee for associate justice, asked him
to stump the state for the new ticket he SMITH
said he could not do SO that he was unable to
pay his railroad fare; whereupon, Bennington
said he would fix that he would see Cy Leland,
chairman of the Republican state central com-
mittee, and get railroad transportation that he
Bennington had been doing all of his business
(political) direct with Leland.
Not long ago, Bennington came to Garnet to
confer with Frank Brown, Republican fixer.
CORNING HAS HIS PRICE.
For some time, we were disposed to believe
that Cyrus Corning was honestly fighting the
state administration from principle, although
we did not approve of his mode of warfare, and
thought he was mistaken. We continued to
believe him honest in the matter until we visit
ed him in his Office at Topeka, recently (when
he was printing all extra edition of 10000 cop
les of his paper), when he said to the writer
of this "There is just one way that gang OF
state-house frauds can stop my fight OH them,
and that is to buy Inc out. I'll sell my paper to
them, and will bind myself not to start another
paper during this campaign. My price is 81
500 it's worth it., too" $50
Well we felt like we'd been hit hard, and
went away sort o. dazed. Later in the day, we
heard that Mr. Corning had received 5000 in
cash from the Republican committee for the
extra edition of his paper, but we thought that
might be only campaign lie, and refused to
accept it as the truth until different persons
came to our office and said they were receiving
free copies of Corning's paper, in the same
wrapper with the Topeka Breeze and another
Republican paper. This was proof positive, to
our mind, that Cyrus Corning and his friends at
Topeka were in the pay of the Republicans,
and since that time, we have had no faith Ill,
nor respect for, that little band of-shall we call
them boodlers ?
Yes, It's we'll that the Corning ticket has
no place OH the official ballot

The sturdy old man. whom he had

there was no sign of one. Lucy had

they had to travel in Indian file, and so
rough that only practiced riders could
have travcrscd it at all. Yet, in spite
