THE TICK EFT.

Concerning the ticket nominated at
Abilene, we have but few words, for
few are required when there is no COM
plant.
The head of the ticket, John Leedy,
is business man of marked ability.
He was elected to the senate as farmer
but soon after lost his farm by mort
gage and moved to town where he has
been engaged in the stock business.
He is a rousing campaigner, man of
great vital endurance, and stiff back
bone. Coming in as new candidate
it cannot be charged that he procured
the Office by trades, or that he is hamp-
cred by pledges for appointments. He
is free.
The candidate for chief justice, Frank
Doster of Marion, is one of the ablest
men this State ever produced. AS an
orator he is unsurpassed, even by John
]. Ingalls,. More than trat, he is a pa.
triot. Two years ago to Oul personal
knowledge, when other men were ask
ing $40 piece or more for their speeches
be was travelling over the State for his

POPUL1sT COUNTY CONVENTION


A delegate convention of the peoples
party OF Reno county, Kansas, is hereby
called to meet at the auditorium in the
city of Hutchinson on Saturday, August
10, 1896, at 10 o'clock a. m. for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for the
following county Offices: Clerk of the
court, probate judge, county attorney
and county superintendent.
1t is recommended that after the vari-
Gus county officers have been nominated
the delegates Of the Seventy-sixth and
Seventy Representative districts
respectively organize into separate con,
ventions and nominate candidates fol
the legislature from each of these dis.
tricts.
Having been fully demonstrated by
tile action of various conventions hereto.
fore held, State, national and lesser di-
visions, that the silver issue is the only
supreme and overshadowing question for
solution In this campaign; that tits the is
sue which has caused the disruption, Ell
tier open and avowed or quiet and un-
official, though nevertheless fully deter
mined, OF every political party which
has as yet held its national convention,
we hereby invite every voter regardless
OF previous party affiliations, who is a
believer in and supporter of the policy
of the free, unlimited and independent
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to /
to participate in the primaries of the va.
rious wards and townships.

The whole rosy brood of redeemers
elected two years ago were renominated
at Topeka, Wednesday, with the excep,
tion of Troutman, who was punished
for his impertinence of wanting first
place. Excepting him, Chief Justice
Dayid Martin was the only Office holder
turned down. He was the only repre-
sentative of the silver idea and servant
of the people. We announced many
months ago that he would not be re-
nominated. The corporations have done
their work. Carver, who is the romi-
nee, is one of the Horton bros of pups.
They will have no trouble with him.

legislation as would make such scenes
irppOecihIa

legislation as would make such scenes
impossible.
Two things are needed. First: A
constitutional amendment providing for
the election by the electors of the State
Of a presiding officer of the house or
the designation, by constitutional
amendment, of some State officer who
shall be ex-Oaicio speaker of the house.
Second: An amendment to the cen
stituton designating tribunal which
shall, as soon after an election as posi-
ble and before the converting OF the leg
islature try and decide all contests for
seats in the legislature. The result of
these arrangements will be, that on
converting, the house will have no ex
cuse for delay and will at once attend
to the business for which they are
elected and paid. In advocacy of the
first, it may be said that the example
OF the lieutenant governor as ex-Oficio
presiding officer Of the senate is sufi-
Gent demonstration OF its practical utll.
lty and convenience.
Concerning the second, it is con-
ceeded by all candid men that the de-
cisions of legislative bodies upon con-
tests for seats are scarcely ever made
upon their merits. Both in choosing a
speaker and deciding contests, party
spirit rises above every other consider
alton; and so power that legislators
abuse should be taken from
them.
The district court where contest
arises would seem to be the proper tri-
bunal for the trial Of contests, both on
account Of the convenience of contest
ants and witnesses, and also its nom
partisan character. p. G. BRANCH.

SUGGESTED LEGISLATION.

No Kansan can have forgotten the
disgraceful legislative imbroglio that
occurred at the commencement of Gov
ernor dwellings administration.
When opposing parties are so evenly
balanced that the seating or unseating
of one or two members will give one
party or either party a majority, the
conditions will favor recurrence of
similar disgraceful scenes. Under ex-
isting constitutional provisions they can
not be prevented. 1 am sure that every
good citizen would gladly welcome such

expenses only. He has been charge
as too radical. But AZ with many 0thel
men who are radical in their persona
views, in law he is very conservative
and he will make one of the best chiel
justices the State has ever had.
Every body knows Jerry Botkin, the
candidate for congressman at-large
He has put his all into the cause, and is
in it. not for what he can get out of it,
but for what he can do. On the stump
he is the most convincing speaker, the
best vote getter in the State. He is
just the man to take the music out of
Dick Blues little song. However we
have one regret, namely, that we could
not vote for both BOtkin and Ed Little.
Mr.. Little is a good man and an able
one. His speeches before the conven-
tion showed him to be no craven in the
fight. He got squarely on the platform
and after Botkin had been nominated
he pledged his support to the ticket.
Difference to the free silver republicans
would have dictated his nomination and
had he been pitted against any other
man he would undoubtedly have re-
CeiVed it.
With most of the other candidates we
have small personal acquaintance, but
from what we have been able to learn
we believe no mistakes have been made.
The candidate for Lieutenant gov.
ernor, Mr.. Harvey of Topeka, is a
young man Of fine appearance, a law
yer who from poor farmer boy
made bis entrance into the bar through
Senator John Martins office.
If there is any error in the make up
of the ticket it is on attorney general.
There nave been charges and flying
rumors concerning his character, Of
which we have no personal knowledge
and do not care to say anything until
something is established one way or
another. The people want to know the
truth and we shall say nothing till we
know what it is. However we will say
that the fact that such rumOrs are fly
ing in itself means nothing.
The best men Of earth are often the
worst victims of Islander.
Mr.. Bush, the candidate for secre-
tary of State, though he was not our
choice, is now. He is an able news
paper man of Mankato and a thorough
gentleman. He had the almost solid
support of his district as its only can
iidate for an Office, which fact rendered |
the struggle unequal for our seventh |
district candidate Lyman Nauge. of
Wellington. Mr.. Naugle may consider
t no dishonor to be defeated by such |
I man.
The candidate for auditor is W. Fl.
Norris of Cherokee county, and for
treasurer, Hefebower a well.to-do Ger
nan farmer of Miami county who was
he candidate on the union labor ticket
n 1883. VIM. Stryker for superintend-
INT is so near home we need speak no
word for him. However he is at home
IN almost any part of the State having
it over thoroughly on his diff
,erent missions of educational work.
The ticket is a good one and if we
should make any criticism on it, would
only be that it does not give recogni-
lion to the free silver republicans.

the populist State convention the other
