VorE the democratic ticket and you
will vote right.
THIS government in holding gold
reserve reminds US of the boy who cut
the bellows open to see where the wind
came from.
ALL man gets in this world is his
~victuais and clothes. yet existence is a
constant struggle with most people from
the cradle to the grave. Why this Is
so it is difficult to explain, but it is q
self evident fact.
To show that all the corrupt voters
are not in the two old parties, we note
the fact that the populist county attcr-
ney and his deputies of Larned have
acknowledged the collection of fees il.
legally and resigned.
AS the days go by and we learn more
about him from his old neighbors and
friends, the more firmly are we con-
WINGED that George Valerius will make
good sheriff. We have yet TO hear
the first disparaging word concerning
him. It is going to be an awful SUR
prise party to some people when they
see the manner in which Valerius viii
pile up the votes.
SECTION go. state law in regard to
duties of a city council, reads as fol-
lows: s'The council shall cause to be
published, quarterly, between the 18th
and goth days of March, June, Septem
Der and December, in each year, full
and detailed statement of the receipts,
expenditures and indebtedness of the
city for the quarter ending on the 18th
of said months respectively"
THE republicans of the new judicial
district, composed of Reno, Harvey
and Mcpherson counties, are going to
have merry time at their judicial con-
vention soon to be held. Each county
has fifteen delegates and each has a
candidate. This makes the outlook not
very rosy for our NJ. P. Simpson, who
desires to wear the judicial ermine in
the new district. Mcpherson Demo-
Graf.
EXCEPT the backwoods towns in
Maine, Kansas is the only place where
# is a prison offense to sell man what
he wants to buy. The prohibition law
is tyrannical and unreasonable, but no
one questions the right of man to be-
tough, however, to be branded as an
anarchist for holding views which pre-
vail in forty-two of the forty-four states
of the nation.
LEADING populists in this city stoutly
declare that not one populist in a hun
dred in Kansas will vote for David Mar
tin for chief Justice We do not know
why single populist in the state should
vote for the candidate brought out by
the unsavory Morrill, Leland gang when
the choice is presented of voting for a
clean and in every way acceptable can
didate, namely, Charles. K. Holiday,
for chief iustice.-Topeka Democrat.
