war ended, and the country was saved.
There was some change in sentiment in
this regard. There had been an uncon-
trollable desire to vote the Republican
party ont of power, and put Grover
Cleveland in power.
He alluded to Terrell, Polk and other
southern leaders who came to Kansas to
teach the people loyalty. He said pat
riotism was not prejudice, and he adj
vised the voters to see to it that they vote
with organized loyalty and not with
those who want to tear the country down.
Speaking to those who may have some
political differences, he said. quinlne is
bitter, but you can afford to take the
bitterest medicine than to have the
'.POpulist shakes"
Col. Moore was several times during
his speech heartily applauded. He
speaks with earnestness and clearness,
and we may say his speech was an in
tellectual and patriotic treat.
At the conclusion OF Col. Moore's
speech, the Republican county candidates
were called for.
Waldo Tarbox. candidate for sheriff,
briefly returned the compliment, and as
Mr.. Tarbox is man of few words, he
prefers deeds to words. He will be
heard from later.
Andrew Russell, candidate for treasurer
also briefly responded to the call of his
name. Andy promised to do his duty in
the future as he had done in the past,
and the people know he will. We may
say that the candidates were all received
with hearty applause and demon
stration.
Harry Leidigh candidate for County
Clerk, made q neat little speech, which
was received with some enthusiasm.
Sid Reynolds, candidate for Register
of Deeds, was called on, but made few
remarks.
Mic Mayrath, candidate for County
Commissioner, gave short talk; and re-
newed his allegiance to the soldiers
cause. He had been a soldier under
Seigel.
Ed. H. Madison was called for and re-
sponded in his usual happy manner. Ed.
has good lung power, and splendid
ply steal ability and he can make the
welken rend. He complimented Col.
Moore on his speech. He said it was an
and patriotic address. 1t
made us all feel better, and gave us the
incentive to 20 to the polls and vote the
Straight Republican ticket. Ed. told
some funny anecdotes. He spoke of the
citizens ticket, and the combination sup
porting it. He applied ''the same old
horse'' story, which fitted very well.
This citizens move was Demo-pop
same old horse" The
speaker told one of Mike Sutton's stories,
aud TO- all we know, the same story ap.
plies to both of them. They came to
this country in very poor condition.
Ed. says he crossed the Arkansas river,
wearing pair Of pants, one leg of which
was made out Of gunny sack, and one
leg Was made of flour sack. And he
looked like a bloOmer in a bifurcated
suit. II tradition is true Ed. had on
more clothes than Mike Sutton when he
came to this county. Tim McCarty says
Mike Sutton came to this country with
out any clothes on.
Madison spoke of the Republican
county ticket as the best ticket ever NOM
mated in Ford county. He referred to
Mr.. Tarbox's loyal and valiant service in
the west, in years past, when danger was
upon every side. He paid him fine
his fitness for the Office. and
of his honesty and ability to discharge
the duties of the office. The speaker
paid the county ticket handsome
The hour was growing late, yet the
interest and enthusiasm was undated.
Col. Hurd was called forward and
made few appropriate remarks. He
would like to know where the dissatis-
fed Republican would 60, to better his
condition. He could not go outside of
the Republican party.
Judge Swan, Commander Lewis Post,
came forward in response to many calls.
He said the best had probably been re-
served for the last, and yet enough had
been said. But he advised the people to
that this year we were fighting
IA the skirmish line of the engagement

soldier knew that many times during the
war that where the skirmish line was
broken the fight was ended, and the
enemy retreated. He wanted to see the
line come when the old soldier could
