got his money to buy and as they kept
the money it naturally follows that
they have got to make this kind of a
play to satisfy Kline. Kline, in his let

but he did not say by what means or by

portant links 10 connect the whole
story was left out. 1t is the general
opinion that Kline said in his letter
that he gave it TO Legate to bring up
but Cy Leland scratched it out as he
knew that such an explanation would
be detrimental.
The letter further shows that Kline
has been allowed to run by this means
| when republicans were in power and
that Legate and Acres were 90 be-
tweens. and he placed confidence ia
them. When they could not make the
deal work with the populist officials on
a fifty per cent commission as in form
er years with the republicans they re-
solved TO keep all the money aud raise
howl that the state officials went
back on their contract. This seems to
be the only plausible solution to this
piece of campaign argument and is no
doubt the correct one, as all the evil
dence goes to show that Kline's attor-
neys got the money, as they admit, but
| cannot show what they did with it.
The more this matter is aired the more
We are convinced that Kline's LAWYERS

lklinel has been promised the naming
of police commissioners for Kansas
City, Kansas who will shield his bust
ness in case, of Morrill's election, as
pay for his afidavits and letters. Kline
says he could not make itgo. His law
yers say they could not make it go, and
he hopes If he can defeat Lewelling he

was not in the past under republican
rule. These letters are compliment

nlsh uncontradictory evidence that
Pete could not buy the police board as
formerly from the governor of the state
of Kansas. To fully show where Pete
Kline stands in this campaign we give
here few extracts from the Leaven-
worth Times, excellent republican au-
thority.

The attitude of E. n. Morrill, in
the present campaign reminds us of his
attitude while a cOmmissary in the
army, away down in Mississippi
While in that state in the presence of
the rebel hosts, he modestly declined
position in the line, saying he was bet
ter fitted to act as commissary and
others could do the lighting"

The republican county central COM
mittee acted very unwisely yesterday
in making it so apparent that Peter
Kline, the Kansas City, Kansas, policy
shop man, is supporting Morrill, for
governor of Kansas"
Contemplate the scene! The state
officials in conclusion with republican
black-legs and the said black legs are
furnishing lies to befeat the fellows
they claim to have bought. Don't
this look reasonable? Is there any
person in Kansas so ignorant or steep.
ed in party prejudice to believe such
story2 We hope not at least.
Next week we will give an affidavit
made by Kline for the use of the in
vestigation committee in which he
said he never paid cent to any state
official or to any person for the pur-
pose Of influencing the administration
in ary way whatsoever, watch for it.
