THE great mass of men are not thinkers.
They read, but do not digest. They learn but
slowly, and are in fighting mood Immediately if
some thinker promulgates an idea that, in the
least, runs counter to their crude notions. And
this is the same class of men that spend most
of their leisure hours at the corner grocery,
blacksmith OF barber shop, listening to and re-
lating fishing, coon-hunting and dog-fghting
stories, and aspire to nothing; and still such
things vote.

ONE of our exchanges says it is asserted that
Granny Morrill, and his private secretary, Baby
Bristow, will resign. We hope no one will un'
dertake to hold his breath until they do resign.
That is not according to the Republican creed.

ATHERTON AGAIN.

And now it transpires that Anterior, the
the drunken state treasurer is the dirty scoun-
drel who insulted the young lady i'll his office,
mention of which we made last week, although
Morrill, and Dawes claim that they have investi-
gated the matter and find the story untrue.
However, ex-Lieutenant-G Governor Felt, in
his paper, the Atchison Champion, says:
"The story of the insult to the innocent girl
was told to the editor of the Champion by Gov
ernor Morrill, during the session of the legisla-
ture, and, at his request, was kept out OF print,
with the understanding that the officer would be
asked to resign, and that if he failed to do that,
then proceedings would be commenced accord
ing to law. The story as told to the editor OF
the Champion differs in some minor details
from the version printed in the Hiawatha World.
The governor, who was thoroughly indignant
and fully aroused to the necessity of immediate
action. stated that the state treasurer had Sc
cured clerkship for young lady Gas we recol-
1ect it, she was from Russell county,, who, upon
her appointment, went to the treasury to tender
her thanks for the kindness. She was told that
mere thanks did not pay for such things. She
said she had no money I'LL Sic Salheu IL AIN
brutal reply was to this effect 1--WE do not at
tempt to quote the exact language; i do not
want money, but have room down the street
Won can come and stay with me occasionally.
"The young lady, the governor said, was IN
everv way respectable, and he seemed in hui
NOR to take the advice volunteered to him, to
90 to that Office and take that official by the
name of the neck and the seat OF his breeches
aud hur1 him out of the state house.
"The Champion kept its word with the gov
ernor not to publish the scandal as it under
stood steps were to be taken to Dust him from
office. Now that the matter has become public
property, the Champion no longer regards it an
official secret, and tells this much of the story.
We think now as we thought then, that Gov
ernor Morrill, should have put that officer out OF
the state house, as he deserved no further rec
oonition from the people of Kansas"
The Champion also says it believes Governor
Morrill, will take proper action in the matter,
hit four months have rolled around, and now
Morrill, claims to have looked into the matter
and found the reports untrue. The trouble with
Morrill, is, he knows that Atherton knows OF
his illegal use of the peoples money, and he is
afraid to tackle Atherton.
Well, the people will have to stand 1t TIL the
NEXT General election, when. they will kick out
the entire outht.

WE have in mind the names of many men
and some for score or two of years, in whose
hands we never have seen a newspaper from
which they could learn the A B of the histo-
ry or condition of the country. If you find pa
pers in the homes Of such men, they will be the
New York Ledger style, and such they read
with evident delight. They appear to have no
desire to know anything about the country.
On election morning, they will go to the polls
and vote as have their ancestors for generations.
They have no conception Of tine privileges and
powers, rights and duties of citizens-and these
are the men the politicians wrap around their
fingers on election day, and thus, the thinking
man is made to suffer through ignorance.

WE clip the following item from the Clyde
Herald (Rep.) "Out of forty Of Our Repub-
lcan exchanges, only six have gone off after
the silver monometal craze, and most of them
have only slight attack" We have yet to
see silver monometalist. The monometalists
are all gold-bngs. If the Herald had said that
only six out of forty Republican papers advo-
cate the free coinage of silver, "and most of
them have only slight attack" it would have
come nearer the TRUTH for that is about the ratio
The Republican party is not silver party, as
any sensible party knows. This will be proven
by the next Republican national convention.

IT is unconstitutional to investigate Repub-
lican official on such charges as drunkenness
and insulting defenseless girls.

D. o. McCRAY, Governor Humphreys pri-
vate secretary, writes a long letter to the St.
Louis Republic, in which he predicts the organ
ization of silver party in Kansas, which he
says will capture majority of the Republicans
and Populists. He says that John j. ingalls,
and Ex-Governor Osborn are headed toward this
new party, and will probably take the lead. In
his letter, Mr.. McCray fays the 'redeemers"
alive, and gives some indsputable facts to bear
out his criticisms He says even ''if there were
no divisions in the Republican ranks ON the
money question: it would be very difficult for
that party to win, because the policy of Gov
ernor Morrill, has hopelessly divided the men,
bership, and, should he be re-nominated, $4,000
Republicans would bolt him. He was elected
under false pretenses. He accepted the nomi-
nation on bi-metallic platform as gold-bug.
Then he found it necessary to hedge, and wrote
letter declaring for the free coinage of silver
at a ratio of I6 to I. Thousands of Republic
ans now know that he wrote that letter to get
votes, and they will never again support him
for governor or any other Office All this goes
to prove to the Populists that the thing for them
to do is to keep in the middle of the road and
saw on their own wood-pile. This they will
do. Mr.. McCray is harboring wrong idea in
thinking the Populists will abandon their party
for new silver party Ours is the only silver
party in existence We have declared for the
free coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to I, and
we shall stand by that declaration. We will
gladly welcome into our ranks free silver Re-

WE are informed by reliable, truthful Re-
publican (therere are few truthful ones yet,
thank God, that since old Uriah Heap Morrill,
said the prohobtory law cannot be enforced,
two fnely-arranged saloons have opened up in
Elmwood, little town of less than thousand
inhabitants, where liquors are sold openly. Be-
sides this, wholesale liquor house has been
established at the same place, and liquors are
being received by the carload almost daily, and
distributed from this point. Remember, all
this (and much more) has come to pass since
Redeemer Morrill's Inauguration. Travelling
men tell of the opening of hundreds of saloons
mot ioints) all over the state All this is sufl-
Gent proof to honest men, that Morrill, and his
entire gang of heelers and strikers made an
ante-election agreement with the liquor men,
and that they are now carrying out their part OF
the bargain. What part has the Reverend
Pecksniff Dougherty in the deal1 The fact OF
the matter is, whisky was one of the most po-
tent agencies employed by the Republican man.

CAPITAL admits of its use, and it is not at all
likely that Dougherty was ignorant of the fact.

CHoLLY SCOTT, of the lola Register, has
spoken. Not that it is new for Cholly to speak,
but that he is after reform editors with prod.
Cholly wants to know why the reform press
does not condemn those bad fellows whom the
"redeelners" are investigating. We might re-
tort and inquire why the "redeemers" are not
investigated, but we are willig to give 'em time.
In regard to the investigation of the Pops,
we are like the Irshman who, on being arralgn-
ed on the charge of murder, declined to enter a
plea until he heard the evidence. If the Pop
ulist officials are guilty of the charges against
them, the several committees are the proper
authorities to render verdicts, and by their YER
diets the officials will stand or fall. We are too
we'll acquainted with the "redeemers" to con-
denim any one on there mere allegations, much
less a political opponent. Drunkenness, cor
rupt practices or incompetency are just as rep
rehensible in Populists as in Democrats or Re-
publicans, but the hue and cry of the lola Reg
lister is brazen hypocrisy in view of the fact that
Republican officials have been guilty of mis-
conduct again and again, and the lola Register
had never a word to say in condemnation.
