Delegates to the Republican
state convention this week were
furnished passes by the RAILWAYS.
In fact, we are told that passes were
gwen out ihdiscriminately to who
ever wanted to go. There were
three or four prominent railway
officials here at the county conyen-
ton Saturday. The railroads
expect, of course, to get their paw
with good interest when the Repub-
lican party has won the victory in
Kansas. lfthe people would only
look at it without prejudice they
would see in this why the Republi-
can party in the legislature always

In the contest before us the COM
bined power Of the banking fraterni-
ty Of Great Britain and America,
together with the railway and other
vast corporations will be allied
against the people. The effort will
be not to educate but to confuse
and confound. To any man who
becomes confused it ought to be
proof enough for him to know that
English and American banks and
corporations are on one side, and
that therefore his interests and that
OF all the great common people are
Numerically opposed to that outfit.
Washington once said:
against the insidiOus wiles of for
eigu influence, believe me, fellow cit
liens, The jealousy of free people
ought to be constantly awake, since
history and experience prove that
such influence is one of the most bane-
full foes of republican government"
