AS TO THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

This question is of more interest in Kansas,
to-day, than any other question. Candidates
are not lacking. At this writing, the most
prominent are Hon. L. P. King, Hon. w. "A.
Harris and Ex-Governor Lewelling. The back
ers of Mr. Leweling are making the most
noise, but they have descended to personal
abuse, especially in the case of Mr.. Harris,
even prying into his family affairs. And right
here it might be we'll to admonish them that 1t
would be better for some of their crowd to sing
low on that matter. We like Lewelllng as a
man, but we know he is weak. He was SUR
rounded by men many of whom were anything
but creditable to the state or the party We
are told that "Lewelling is onto the fellows
who wrecked him, and he will not trust them
again." yet they are the very fellows who are
booming him with all their might.
1t would be folly for us to repeat the mistake.
A new deal is necessary. new man at the
head of ticket composed new, clean men Is
the only thing to carry us to victory. The
man to head the ticket is Senator l.. p. King,
of Cowley county An old, active and loyal
Populst writes of him:
mo one OD]eCtS 10 Ming. nc ID lHC iuS.'i
candidate. farmer, former teacher, well ed
ucated, long experience in public life-four
wears in the house and eight in the senate, wide
knowledge of men, strong as writer and
speaker, clear of entangling alliances, nothing
in his record that puts him in antagonism to
any class of voters, clean, wise, conservative,
firm, pre-eminently man OF the people, Sen
ator L. P King, of Cowley county, is the best
man in the state to place at the head of our
ticket. With such man available, it would
be the height of folly to nominate man for
whom we should be compelled to make an apol-
oeetic campaign. Our party cannot afford to
90 inro the indicating rewardng business.
Ours is higher mission. There is no room
for the favorite som idea We cannot affort
to 'vindicate' a man simply because the enemy
has outrageously maigned and mistreated him.
What we must do is to select the man who can
poll the most votes and serve the interests of
the people best after he is elected. That man
is Senator L. P. King"
From others we learn that Mr.. King is rap
idly growing in favor among the people. He
is the coming man. Indeed, he is here.

AS VIEWED IN ENGLAND.

London papers are we'll pleased with the re-
suit of the Republican convention at St.
Louis.
The Gazette congratulates Great Britain on
the fact that eff Mckinley is elected, the Uni
ted States will continue to pay its obligations
in honest money"
The Globe remarks that "the outside world
would prefer the installation of government
pledge to both gold standard and moderate
tariff" and suggests that President Cleveland
might consolidate under gold the Democrats of
the manufacturing states by proposing to
continue the existing tariff with slight modifi-
cation.
The Westminster Gazette says: "The pro-
lection policy to which the party is pledged
will doubtless be as injurious to our trade as
before; but for the moment there will be a
sense of relief at the fact that the Republicans
are against tampering with the currency"
The Pail Mall Gazette asserts that "the hol-
lowness of the silver fraud was shown at the
st. Louis convention"

THE NATIONALS CONFER.

There was conference of members of the
new National party at Ottawa, yesterday, and
it was we'll attended and very enthusiastic. 1t
was discovered that very large majority of
the Prohibitionists have left that party and
joined the National party, and there are many
accessions from the old parties. The Nation
ais are very much encouraged. They are de-
sirous of union of all reform forces.

COWARD.

Yes, coward that's the very word;
Don't wonder that you vince.
But your auntie is plain spoken
And her language does not mince.
You've flung it at old parties
Who'd not our cause defend,
And now you follow in their line,
Yes, to the very end.
Oh, yes, know, I've heard it,
I've got it all by rote.
You Ibid /. that you might not lose
The Southern temperance vote"
wonder what your father'd say,
Who sleeps in unknown grave,
Because his brave and noble heart
Beat for the fettered slave.
To know his son, for politics,
Bent to the South ners' will,
And in his sisters slavery
Voted to keep still.
What "Because the awful rum power
Is stalking through the land ~
That power will meier go down. my boy,
Except by woman's hand.
Men, who desert their sisters
In the middle of fight
Are not the kind to conquer
In battles for the right.
And have you never thought, my boy,
That you have proved untrue
To that noble band of women,
The w. c. T. u,
Who years ago espoused your cause,
"Divisive," though it proved,
But never left your standard
While your platform faithful proved.
They lost in means and members,
But woman never flies.
When once she gives honor,
She stays there till she dies.
Don't talk about "free silver"
Or scold about St. John,
You will find, boy, that your auntie
Knows which side she is on.
She has not left the party,
The party has left her,
And she'll try and find another
That will stand and never stir
At Southern beck, or Wall street,
Or unctious Standard Oil,
Or turn its back on struggling men
Who live by honest toll.

ENGLAND FOR THE REPUBLICANS.

The battle for gold has been won. The de-

great victory has been won, the interests of the
country have prevailed and the Republican party
has been saved from an act of political coward
ice pregnant with financial disaster.-London

We personally admire ex-Congressman Harris
and think he distinguished our state and party
at Washington; in fact, his official career is so
superior to that of his successor, stands in such
marked contrast, that even his enemies
acknowledge it, even those who opposed him
as "copperhead" are ashamed of Blue. But
then he is not the best nor the strongest man in
the Populist party for governor. Mr.. King is
The reasons are that first, Mr.. Harris was a
confederate soldier. We despise the "bloody
shirt" howl, but admit that it has many sup
portels by reason of prejudice. Personally we
prefer a Union soldier over Confederate
soldier for the executive chair, if he has the
ability and character requisite. Mr.. King has
that advantage. Furthermore, there is another
affair which would be magn6ed into gigantic
scandal against Mr.. Harris if he is nominated. 1t
would be poor policy to nominate Mr. Harris
an inexcusable mistake. We believe that Mr..
Harris would make an excellent governor and
lift the state out of its present disgraceul con-
dition. But so would Mr. l.. P King.-Man-

GET TOGETHER, REFoRMERs,
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1896-06-26

One of the most enthusiastic scenes ever wit
messed in Kansas was seen on Tuesday last
when the entire assembly at the Populist con-
vention arose and cheered for many minutes the
announcement by St. John that the St. Louis
convention had decided to declare i'll set terms
for gold And when the eloquent speaker de-
clared that the mummy Mckinley would not
receive the vote of single state in November,
west of the Allegheny mountains, the noise was
like the clamor of the surf on the rocky cliffs of
the strand. Jehersonian, Lawrence.
John T. INGALLS, was in Leavenworth re-
Gently, OIL his way home from Newton, and
consented to express himself on political ques-
tons. In answer to the question, "What do
you think of the prospect for Republican vic
tory in Kansas this year." he said, "Well,
candidly, don't think the Republican outlook
is as bright as is generally supposed. | don't
agree with the sanguine prophets who say that
we are sure to have overwhelming ma
iority. "-Manhattan Republic.

Cleveland will doubtless fill his contract to
issue $500 ,ooo, 900 of bonds before his term ex-
pires. He has made good every contract ever
entered into with Wall street.-Chicago Ex-
press.
That's right. If Cleveland has made any
contracts with Wall street, as an honest man he
should carry them out But when Cleveland
and Wall street try to commit the people to
contracts for which there is neither necessity
nor warrant of law, that's different. There is
no law calling for the gold redemption of green
backs or bonds. There is no law calling for
the maintenadce of "gold reserve" therefore
there was neither necessity or law for the is
suance of $500 900, 900 of gold bonds, increas-
ing our Understanding debt in time of peace.
Cleveland knew that, and the Wall street gang
that worked the conspiracy and proftsd by it,
knew it; and the people who are expected to
pay the bills will not violate single moral
principle if they repudiate the whole damnable
business-The New Charter.

week. he served notice on the country that
"Unlimited European capital awaits invest
ment in the United States, providing the cur
rency question here is settled satisfactorily.
But no straddle platform at St. Louis will do.
1t will not be accepted abroad" 1t is ptiful
spectacle that this great nation, independent in
every other particular, must humliate itself to
European money-changers, and that financial
platform must be constructed that will be ac-
ceptable abroad. Lawrence Gazette.

MARKET QUOTATIONS.
REPORTS FROM ALL GREAT BUsI-
NESS CENTRES OF THE WORLD.
Prices of Money, Bonds, Stocks,
Grain, Tobacco, Gotten, Cattle,
Country Produce, &C., Foreign
aud Domestic.

NEW YORK. October 6.-The stock
market to-day was irregular and mode
rately active. Tobacco gained per cent.
on covering Of short contracts put out on
the passing of dividends a little while
ago In the afternoon money suddenly
advanced to II per cent, and this started
moderate llquidations all along the line.
The rise i'm money was due TO the dis
turbance i'm loans incidental 10 the city
tax payments. This caused considerable
shifting of call loans, and accounts for
the jump in the rate. Near the close,
however. the quotations dropped back
to sG4 per cent. In the late decline in
stocks, Sugar, Chicago Gas, the Changers.
Louisville and Nashville. Reading. and
Manhattan were conspicuous. The de-
cline from the highest point OF the day
was equal to l-4Q1 IA per cent, Manhattan
leading.
A favorable development OF the day
was the continued weakness in sterling
exchange, the result of an increased sup
ply Of commercial acceptances. and a
light demand. Rumors Of further gold
imports from Europe at an early day
were revived, In consequence, but no con-
firmation could be obtained.
Speculation left off weak. Net changes
show losses OF 1-4d1 IA per cent. To-
bacco gained per cent In the special
ties. Erie Telegraph advanced SIS to
80 S.
Bonds were dull and lower. The trans
sections footed up $4,000.
