Lawrence Journal (Rep.): 1.-THE
PopulistS appear to be inclined to nom.
mate Col. w. A. Harris for Governor.
He Is q strong man, and a good man,
one who would make an excellent
Governor, and the Populists made the
mistake of their lives when they failed
to nominate him In the year they were
successful"
Senator L. p. Kings name will be
presented to the P0pulist State conVen-
tion for the nomination for Governor.
The Senator Is q farmer, q pronounced
and faithful Populist and vel.hesded
man. He has more extended leGisla.
tive experience than any other man In
the party in the State, and his success
i've reflections indicate that he has
been faithful to his constituents.
The Lawrence JeferSOniGn (Pop.)
protests against further roasting of
the Santa Fe by PopulistS and POpu-
list papers, alleging that that road,
under the new management, Is in all
things treating Populists the same as
Republicans. If this is true, and it is
to be hoped that it Is, then 1t Is high
time for Populists who have roasted
this road to let bygones be bygones.
The Lucas Ad0Gnce (Rep.) exhibits q
commendsble evidence of backbone
and an independent American spirit
by resolutely ste" ding by its principles,
as the following from q recent issue
will show: "Unless the Republicans
embody In their platform q plank max
ing gold, silver and paper money Of
equal value, they may expect ignomin-
ious defeat at the coming elections"
Topeka Capital, March q: "In the
Eagle of yesterday Marsh Murdock
plumes himself On his great victory
over the State of Kansas. He comes
out of the fight not only with his cause
completely won but with the personal
honor of election as a national repre-
sentative Of the Republican party in
Kansas. If there ever was case of
the whole State being taken by the
nape Of the neck and the slack Of the
trousers and thoroughly trounced by q
single individual, the triumph of the
red.hesded editor of Wichita fills the
bill"
"Bob Semple is very punctusl in his
appearance at the Office of the Bank
Commissioner. He Is at his Office q
full hour before other State officials or
clerks 60 to work. ."-StGte Journal
"Thls same Bob Semple Ia one Of the
