Dick Blue said in his opening CAM
paign speech that he would lose his
seat in the senate before he would
vote for free silver at 16 to1. Free
silver Republicans how do you like it?
l guess you voted for the wrong man.
If the Republican party is successful
at the coming election it will be an
endorsement of the rottenest admin.
istratiJn that ever disgraced the
state of Kansas and it will stimulate
our senators and congressman to sup
port the god standard. Good people
do you want this; if you do not want
it vote the Populist ticket straight.
The Popuiists want good government,
both state and national, and they
want free silver at Is to and they
don't care what party gives it so we
get it. The old parties have failed so
far and always will fail.
On the night Of the 10Th Alex. Hill.
who lives northwest Of Mayfeld, had
a valuable calf stolen from his uas-
ture. There were two of the thiyes;
they backed their wagon up to a low
wire fence and let the wheels down
behind aud loaded the calf in and
drove off west; they were seen four
miles west Of Mr.. Hills place still 60
ing west. 1t is supposed there is an
organized gang operating between
Conway Springs and Argonia doing
a general thieving business. There
has been a large number of hogs
stolen in that locality, and it will be
a cold day for the gang if che farmers
once get on to them. But is it any
wonder that there is stealing gong on
ID every direction when honest labor
is so poorly rewarded? Say, boys, if
you vote right you will not have to
beg, steal or starve.
