not confine their invitation 10 the sup
porteFs OF Mr. Baker in the senatorial
contest, but all the members Of the legis'
lature were invited, 90 well % all the
state officers and all the republican and
democratic politicians Of any note in
the state.
The eventful night found the city
ovsrrun with visiting statesmen and the
big Turner hall ready to receive them.
The hall was grsndly decorated snd q
feast like unto that OF Bslshszzsr had
been prepared, with a bill OF fare that
would have made Mr. Belshazzsr's Chef
stand Bghsst. There were liquor attach
mentB which were not known to Bible
history, and some which are supposed
TO be out Of style in Kansas. But the
LsRvenworth people had set ont to show
Governor Morrill,, Lieutenant Governor
Troutmsn, Chief Justice Horton, and
the other redaemers how to have rip
roaring time and they didn't intend to
leave anything out. Those who did
not wish to look upon the wine when it
was red, could shut their eyes, or look
upon the champagne which was not red.
After the more substantial part Of the
bill Of fare had been disposed Of the irri-
CATION and drinking Of tossts began.
Senator Elect Baker recitsd an sppro.
pirate defamation. Governor Morrill,
followed suit. ]. r Burton was next,
but he did not con6ne his remarks to
the Sunday school style. He spoke
bitterly Of that kind Of campaigning
which prompts men to Rssall the char
acter Of others, and said it was dam
nable. His remarks had q smothering
{ cot for q few moments, but he wound
up happily by praislng Baker and his
praise produced the desired effect.
Chief Justice Horton, Speaker Lob
dell, David OVermyeP, Senator Thaoher,
Lieutenant Governor Troutmsn, J. W.
Ady, and several others added their
contributions Of wit and eloqusnCe.
David OVsrmyer responding to "How
It Looks to q Democrat" took occasion
to express his sentiments. He said: 81
fear you have not oil confined yourselves
to the hydFant water the governor was
promised. I have not. This scene looks
very much like q democratic banquet. It
looks 90 it ought to look in this fortress
Of liberty" He spoke Of the late cam
paign, and said the democrat had de-.
fsstsd suffrage and done something TO-
ward the defeat Of prohibition Cooking

looks to o democrat" This was dam.
pener number two, but the crowd again
recovered. The sound of revslry, in.
strumentsl music, chin music, and pop.
ping Of Corks, continued till the early
hours, and what other frivolities were
INDUCED in, the public does not care TO
hear. The few Populists who were scat
tered among the crowd are very reticent
about giving a description OF it, or the
cause for their being there, but most of
them, when compelled to talk, say they
thought the obi sCt OF the meeting was to

Pierre next June will be- the Barnes
school text book question. Barnes
Brief History OF the United States a.
now used in our public schools has be-
come obnoxious to Grand Army men for
the following good and sufficient reasons
and they do not think it a proper book
to be used in oar public schools: First,
there is not q word in the history to
show that the south was guilty of high
treason; second, Gen. Robert E. Lee is
the only officer worthy Of a biography
according to this book; third, Generals
Jackson, Stewart and others of the rebels
are given great words of merit while
only two of the unio.. officers are even
mentioned as sable officers; fourth,
several rebel officers are given handsome
obituaries while no mention is made as
to deaths among the union officers; fifth,
in summing up the results of cam
palgns the author quite often gives cas-:
ualties OF the rebels, but forgets to say
anything about any losses on the side
for the union. These and other charges
against the history are to be aired and
probably a request for it's withdrawal
from use in our public schools made.
