actively engaged in writing
one of his heaviest free silver edito-

People in Wellington and Sumner
county consider II fully as indispen-
sable as the comfy paper. There
are no cities elsewhere Of the size of
that afford a paper of such
merit.
Rev. SwensSOn of Kansas wanted
The platform to be for gold, but not to
say 50. In his pulpit next Sunday
Rev. SwensS0n will probably hold up
the preeeptS Of honesty in the same
Did inspired tOne.-Wichita Eagle.
That man SwenssOn is q disgrace to
the clergy, disgrace to honest citi-
1t won't take him long to
sink to his proper leve! now that he
has been exposed as a cheat, a fraud
and a hypOcTite.-TOpeka Journal.
Since this is a Republican recon-
all around we presume it
goes. Botkin seems to be quite a
respectable man by the side Of
SwensScn.
The Detroit Tribune, one Of the
oldest daily papers IN the west and
the leading Republican paper in
NJ 'chigan since the birth Of the par.
'N has unequivOcally repudiated
he action of the Republican Ma
tlonal convention in declaring abso-
.utely for the gold standard as
against bimetallism. The Tribune
says that while the party's candidate
IS all right, the platform on the on
y important issue before the coun-
Try is damnably unpatriotic and un
Republican"
Kansas cast her twenty votes for
Hobart for vice president.-Mail.
His name is not "Holbarl" but
Hobart. But few ever heard of him
until the convention met, hence the
uncertainty about how to spell his
name. A New York paper gives his
pedigree as follows;
HE was the New Jersey member of
The Republican National committee
n 1884 and was elected vice chairman.
lie was receiver Of the New jersey
Midland railway, the MODtclair rail-
way and the Jersey City and Albany,
and OF the First National bank of
Newark, director of several banks
and many railroads and a large nun.

The Portland Times closes an edi.

n that state with the following sig
lifcant words: awe are arriving at
hat period in our history of pro-
grsss and oppression when the liber-
les of the people and their honest
expression Of opinion, at the ballot
oox, cannot be trihed with any
onger. A tiny match is sufficient to
ire magazine with all Of its horri-
Die consequences, and willful
scratch of pen on an election tally
sheet may be sufficient to explode
he pent'up indignation Of people
whose consequences no man can
oretell. The sacredness of the ballot
must be preserved at all hazards"
