Cap. Hannum was home from To-
peka. Friday, telling the boys how
''we are knocking them pops out
down there" Don't know whether
the house adjourned while Cap. was
away or not; but don't suppose they
would do anything in his absence,
anyhow.
The DEMOCRAT would again sug-
gest that Great Bend citizens ought to
organize protective association, to be
prepared for the possible visits of des-
perados. Robberies are liable to be
mere frequent as spring opens up and
the weather makes it less unpleasant
for campers out.
Will not the populist and republican
papers now tell us of some one good
law the present legislature has passed,
after about one month of labor? Now
don't speak of the anti gambling, anti
lottery bill, for your best lawyers on
both sides have told you that the boast
ed anti-gambling law will not stand the
test in the courts, and will prove prac-
tically dead letter; as imperative as
the prohibition liquor law.

strong enough to condemn such action.
He would have made it the text of his
Sunday school lecture. the burden OF
his class-meeting prayers. and would
have laid awake o. nights to think up
little, shifting, sneaking slurs TO cast
at the party which would do such a
thing. But as it was purely republic
can blowout, the above quoted compli-
mentary notice of the immense success
was all that was required.
THE republicans of Kansas, in the
election of Baker, buiided better than
they knew-for the democrats. Mr..
Baker was originally a democrat, and
as late as 1890. worked and voted for
democrat for governor of Kansas. In
1868 he opposed the election of General
Grant to the presidency, and with Mir.
Tarsney, now a democratic congress
man from Kansas City, Mo. stumped a
part of Michigan in behalf of Governor
Seymour, the democratic nominee. He
came to Kansas in 1869. and for bust
ness reasons allied himself with the
republicans who were in the majority,
but his more recent acts show that he
has not changed his political beliefs of
his early manhood. In his efforts in
behalf of Governor Robinson, in 1890,
he made eight speeches in the Seventh
congressional district, and while he did
not succeed in electing the governor,
he did assist in the election of Jerry
Simpson, the fusion candidate for
congressman. and thus defeated Colonel
Hallowell, the republican nominee.
He is a tariff reformer in line with the
democratic platform of 1892; is an
ardent free silyerite, and as he was
elected without pledge, he will doubt
less vote his personal sentiments on
these questions, in the doings of which
he will be opposed to the republicans.
