The Wichita daily eagle., 1895-11-02


ton Of Its own party to save Wichita's
business and to preserve her equal
chances there was no hositancy Or fal-
tering,
The influence acquired and growing
out Of this single intent and resolve
upon the part of the Eagle, has become
Of real and fundamental Importance
to the people of Wichita, to their bust
ness concerns and advantages To
weaken the influence Of the Eagle is
to strike down and disarm the city's
most effective champion. The fact of
a property-holder's belief or disbelief
In the politics and general sentiments
and convictions Of the paper In no way
affects the truth Of the declaration that
no single loss could occur to the COM
muniv so far-reaching as the loss of
its great morning daily paper.
The last cause espoused and main
tanned by the Eagle In the interest of
Wichita's s property values and business,
Is a fight against the dominant political
power of the state, power which is
daily being encouraged by our enc
mics. The governor Acknowledges
himself that he has been besieged,
threatened and entreated in bushels Of
letters from people of other cities and
towns of the state, by enemies or IA
natics ON the Prohibition question, all
importuning him not to let I'D on his
fight ON Wichita, as failure to sustain
his Prohibition police commission here
dooms the cause in the entire state.
There is but one way In which Wich-
fta can triumph and that is by IN
dorsing the Eagles fight and electing
the Republican ticket from top to bot
tom. The Republican ticket Is known
and recognized as an anti-administra-
tion ticket Every man Of them is op-
posed to the police commission forced
upon this city by the State Prohibition
Union and its claquers in this city. If
the Eagle IS not indorSed by the cleo
ton of the men it supports the fight is
done, and the State Temperance Union
and Dawes and his tools have won.
There will be no one left to carry on the
war and the administration will have
Morrill, would laugh to scorn the threats
of Democratic and Populistc papers
and politicians and office-holders.
These are all against him and his party
in any event. With the Eagle sustain
ed and indorsed the fight goes on. and
the administration viii have to yield to
the demands of the Republican party
of this county and its newly elected
Republican officials or take the conse-
quence in the next Republican state
convention.
1t is for the people of this city to say
whether they will give up now and lay
down. leaving the cobwebs to gather in
vacant business rooms. and see every
metropolitan feature of the city dis
appear one by one. which state OF af-
fairs will inevitably ensue if the rule
prescribed for us by our enemies is to
stand. Vote for Hatton. vote for Hat
ton and the entire Republican ticket if
You want TO see a fight which will rele-
gate the nest of cranks who now have
the city in their hateful clutches and
teach the present and all future admin
istrations Of this state thar Wichita not
only demands but will have the same
chances under the Prohihitory law. the
same consideration OF other cities Of
the state. With Hatjon for judge and
Schad for sheriff and Denny for clerk.
and all the other Republican officials
standing like wall against the insane
prosecutions Of the iniberal and mar
row-minded secret league. and with
Harry Gordon aS state senator. laying
down the "law and gosper w-7he
henchmsn at the state house, Wichita
Will be herself again. and thanks 10
nobody save to the lndomitable and in
dependent spirit OF her own citizens.
