him while in Wichita. On the morn
ing of the convention he summed up
the situation for his paper as complete
" rs he could have done if he had
been an actual factor as subsequent
Developments showed. He wired his
PAPER the following statement which
makes lively reading for those who
were ON the inside:
"Since the adjournment of the Sew
enth district convention yesterday az
teroon. all OF the anti-Leland forces
united for an attack on the Leland slate
for delegates at large. Senator Car
uenter Of NeoshO county is the man
upon whom the slate breakers have
united and NJ. NJ. Murdoch, editor of
the Wichita Eagle is the man who is
TO meet the attack.
The fight changed from against
Barnes to against Murdoch, when Nike
Sutton was defeated for delegate from
the Seventh district. Now Sutton 5
friends are against Murdoch. The
Shawnee county delegation has agreed
to support Carpenter against Murdoch
The executive committee of thirty
three of the Wichita Christian Citizen
ship league has issued Il circular APP
peal against Murdoch. In addition to
this and his natural strength in the
Third district, Carpenter has the Rock
Island support, and ]. r. Burton is
working for him and every anti-Le-
land man in the convention will vote
for him.

THE ST ONE.

1t is told of a Lawrence man who rode
all night 10 get TO the Wichita convention
that he went TO the hotel with his tongue
hanging out when he arrived here. and
there arose within him a great longing
for something that he could not get al
home. Seeing a man standing in the
lobby who wore the badge of his society,
he approached him and giving the sign
that proved him a brother he remarked:
81 don't ike to give the sign of distress,
but 1 need the kind offices of a brother.
Can you tell me where in this town can
get a drink?'' why certainly" respon-
ded the Wichita man with polite bow,

THE CORN-FED GIRL.

You may talk of your beauties OF Spair
and of France.
With their languorous eyes, and theil
grace
Which IS borrowed from art, and redeems
them by chance
From being called commonplace.
But like the girl with a bosom and waist
That Will stand the strain of lifes Whirl
With a bright laughing eye, and a mind
that is chaste:
l sing TO the corn-fed girl.
Her foot may be large, and her nose slight
" Snub.
And her clothes not Of latter-day trim
She may sing all her songs while she
bends DER the tub.
And her notions OF style may be dim:
But I'll wager my coin that her hearts IN
its place.
Though her hair be not always in curl.
She can turn a fiapjack with the dainuest
grace.
This big buxom coru-fed girl
The daughters OF fashion may sheer a, her
ways,
And twist their proud noses awry;
On the old-fash!onef streets their red
boomers may blaze,
Like comet across a clear sky.
She don't care a snap for their up-to-date
clash,
But draws farther yet out of the whlrl.
TIL some earnest fellow goes out on the
mash,
And takes in the corn-fed girl

DENOMINATION OF LONG.

Chester Long has been renomlnated
1 for congress in this the Seventh dis
| trict. This was his third nomination
The first time he was nominated, he
ran against Jerry Simpson and was
beaten. The next time he ran against
Jerry Simpson and was elected.
The vote which renominated him on
Monday was unanimous. 1t was the
result Of no wire-puIling or trades.
| There were no compromises and no hlg-
! Cling. He was not in the convention
/ or near it, He was in Washington
where he should have been, and the
Seventh District Republicans without
| a word from him, or any direction from
| his leutenants, renOminated him with
a whoop; made his platform without
consulting him; and placed him before
the people as their champion in this
| congressional district
This is in direct line with the POpu-
listic theory of allowing the office TO
seek the man, which theory IS only pos
sible when a man has done his duty so
well that his reward is conceded on
all sides.
Chester Long placed himself wholly
in the hands of his party in this district
He left, without the slightest interfer-
ence for them to say whether he deserv-
ed a denomination or not; whether he
had done his duty or not; whether there
were other aspirants in the district
more available or capable than he;
whether his nomination would insure
a Republican victory in this district or
not.
The responsibility was on the Repnb-
licanS of this district They accepted
it as pleasure and, without dissent
ing voice, rendered him his reward for
his fidelity to his constituency. They
did this because Chester Long during
his brief career in Washington has
done everything possible for n new
member of congress to do. He has not
talked endleSsly, but when he has talk
ed he has commanded attention and
won congratulations He has attended
to the interests Of his constituency and
let the abstruse sociological problems
Of the age to others. He has followed
out the platform upon which he was
last nominated and elected, to the let
ter, whether it met with his personal
views or not He has labored for the
Seventh district and its affairs and has
not spent his time Matching political
schemes or connecting diplomatic doses
of demagogy for the public.
He had done his duty and he knew
it. But he refrained from calling at
teton to the fact himself and left it TO
the people in this district to decide.
And so it comes that Of all the nomina-
tionS in Kansas this fall the nomina-
ton of Chester Long was the happiest
ad most Indicative of an appreciation
of a man who has done all he can for
his people, and having done so,relieS on
the unerring appreciation of popular
acclaim.
