work.-Minneapolis Messenger.
We are not one who thinks that all
Republicans at Washington spend their

and burning the midnight oil. while

PETER has not disgraced Kansas by any
act of immortality or intemperance. He is

is not ashamed of him, We are not
afraid he will steal something.

THERE is an old sdage which says that
''when thieves fall out honest men get
their dues" If the state or anybody else
has got any money back since the Popu-
list officials fell out and began exposing
one another the news of it has not reach
ed the public. What's the good of all
this fuss and recrimination? It would
have been greatly to the credit of the
Populists individually and collectively
if every office holder had resigned as
soon as the people voted that they didn't
want them any more. They would then
have been credited with having more
regard for the wishes of the people than
for the emoluments of office. which
would have been in consonance with
their professions.

THERE is no longer any doubt that
Senator Quay and Tom Plat are laying
their plans to dictate the next Republi-
can presidential candidate to the conven-
ton. The plan is to have the Pennsyl-
vania delegation go into the convention
pledged to Hastings and the New York
delegation to Morton. If neither can
command sufficient support to secure the
prize then both delegations are to be
turned over to some other man who will
agree to let Platt and Quay control the
patronage and policy of the administra-
ton. AS they are not likely to have
much difficulty in manipulating south
ern delegations, the defeat of these
Vaccinations will depend largely on the
west Western Republicans cannot af-
ford to permit the nomination of can
didate dictated by the P!att and Quay
school of politicians or by any set of
men holding their views on silver.
