Newspapers OF the state are having
good deal of fun at the expense
OF our Lieutenant Governor over
the Pocatcllo convention. 1t seems
that the Lieutenant Governor made
speech in the convention, earnest
ly appealing to the members, to
elect his friend, Senator Shoup, as
delegate to the national conven-
ton. Notwithstanding his eloquent
appeal, the convention refused to
elect the grand old man, who did
more for Idaho than any other
man who ever lived in the state.
When the vote was announced, the
Lieutenant Governor was so infer.
nally mad over it that he went TO
the telegraph Office, and wired the
following telegram: "Eyerything
gone to hell here" The next
scrape he got into, was because he
wrote private letter to his brother,
in Omaha, in which he said that
IN the joint debate, between Editor
Rosewater and Congressman Bryan,
hat he thought that Rosewater
made the best speech. The con-
,lusion drawn from these incidents
S that our Lieutenant Governor is
lot "sure enough" silver man.
First, because lac sustained Senator
'houp, and second, because he
bought one man made better
peech than another.

VOTE HER STRAIGHT.

Commencing with Harry Gordon for
state senator, the Republican party of
Sedgwick county never presented to
the people a stronger or better ticket
than we have this year. Every man Is
a number one man for the place for
which he was nominated. Every man
is a we'll known man, a tried man, a
true man, all of which cannot be said or
all the nominees of the Fusion opposi-
ton, one half Of whom are unknown
to the people of the county at large,
and nearly all inexperienced. They
may be all right as private citizens
probably are. We do not know. But
we do know the gang who are running
them, and we do know the result that
their calamity cry has had upon the
state in the past and what it would in
evitably have again. AS a people,
without regard to party, We cannot AZ
ford any more calamity.
We want bright men in the legisla-
ture who will be in full accord with the
Republican administration; we want
a Republican senator; we want the al
fairs OF our county in the hands of COM
petent men. These things can all be
encompassed by voting the Republican
county ticket straight from top to bot
tonl, for Harry Gordon for senator, for
Mclean and Irwin and Eckstein for
for Davis, Wyatt, Sim
mons, Mackey and Grimes.

THE SIXTY-EIGHTH DISTRICT.

The Sixty-eighth Representative dis
trict is an overwhelmingly Republican
district. The Republicans Of that dis
trict want Republican to succeed PEI
fer in the United States senate. 1t Is
the strongest Republican district In the
county and it is liable to send a Pop
to the legislature. There is only one
way to avoid taking chances and that is
by voting for the regular nominee for
the legislature, otherwise PETERS name
is liable to slip in. The Eagle is not
denying the honesty or questioning the
ability of Ed Goldberg, nor does it i'm
pugn or criticise the honor or the mot
ives of the good Republicans who NOM
mated Goldberg. That's not the ques-
ton. Nor is any one claiming or charg-
ing that Irwin did anything dishonor-
able to secure his own nomination.
These are not the questions at issue

W. Z. Curtis in Michigan writing up
the situation as he sees it in that state.
In the great furniture factories of
Grand Rapids, Detroit and other cities
he finds the laborers are practically
unanimous for Mckinley. Bryan in
many instances having but eight and
ten per cent. Mr.. Curtis was shown or
der after order for goods announcing
plainly that the order was to be filled
if Mckinley were elected; that if he
were elected the factories should be-
gin filing the order at once. and with
out further notice from the patron; that
the order should stand cancelled if Bry-
an should be elected. Mr.. Curtis fur
Their says that there is absolutely no
evidence of any effort to cOerce any of
the IaborerS, but that proprietors and
laborers alike are for Mckinley and
will so vote.
Mr.. Curtis further says that every
thing seems to be in favor of the Re
publicans in Michigan. That while the
Popocrats have lately received large
sums of money to be put into the cam
paign, they are not good managers and
are not using to good effect what means
they have at their disposal.
Yet Michigan is one of the states the
yawping Kansas Pop spends his time
in claiming for Bryan along with New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois. There is no possibility,
near or remote, high or low, of Bryan
carrying single state from the Allan
tic Seaboard west to the Mississippi
river, and north Of line drawn on the
Tennessee Kentucky boundary east
ward to old Virginia and around it's
northern border TO the Atlantic coast,
and south of Maryland and Delaware.
This fact will be patent to most of the
Populists by next Monday if it is not
so patent today. 1t is not week ago
when the Populists of Kansas were
snorting around about Bryan carrying
Ohio. In Mr.. Campau's last table he
does not include Ohio for Bryan, and
about two thousand yowling Pops in
Kansas have shut up like jack-knives.
They will shut tighter yet before cleo
ton day dawns. They are defeated,
and the more intelligent ones of them
have known il for weeks.

IS 1T AN ISSUEY

Democratic papers are still insisting
that the tariff is dead issue. Who be-
sides these organs says it is dead is
sue by what authority do they take it
upon themselves to Sequester this or
any other issue? Suppose the rank and
file of laboring people, the cotton rails
ers and manufacturers of cotton goods,
the wool growers of the country, the
farmer who Of all others. is most inter-
ested in building up home market,
the merchant and tradespeople in every
line of goods which are cheapened by
imported pauper labor, should conclude
that the tariff is an issue. What are

AN ISSUE AND A PARTY.

What has Bryan said about the tariff
in this campaign? Nothing. And why
Do you suppose for a minute that pro-
lection is not an issue? Do you sup
pose that in any contest man after
having fought a fight for one thing and
having lost it, can then claim the vic
tory by charging that he never fought
for it at all? Is it not fact that III 1872
the Democrats of this country absolute
" secured this land, ramming it down
into peoples ears that four more years
of Grover would be four years OF clov-
er? that prosperity of an unexampled
kind would follow Cleveland's election,
and would be the direct, the unmistak-
able and the unquesuoned result OF
revised tariff approximate to absolute
free trade: Did they not tell the manu-
facturer that he would get more orders;
the laborer that he would get higher
wages. more work, shorter hours, lower
priced clothing and food? Did they not
tell the Kansas farmer that his wheat
would mount up to over one dollar per
bushel within fortnight after that
poussy old curmudgeon squatted him
self in the presidential chair?
Now, is it not a fact that nothing OF
the Kind happened? Is it not fact
that the laboring man did not receive
higher wages, shorter hours and more
work? Is it not fact that the manu-
facturers did not receive more orders?
Is is not a fact that during the admin
istration of Grover Cleveland, a Demo-
crat, elected by the Democrats, the
price of wheat has, up till within the
last month, fallen to figures never be-
fore known in this world!
To sum it up, did not the Democratic
party, with Grover Cleveland at the
head. with it's organs and Simpsons
and Wilson's in the house, and with its
Germans and Brices and McPhersons
in the sugar trust senate; did not all
these component parts of the Democrat
lc party break their pledge to the Amer
lean people ?Can they, having broken
that, come TO the people of this coun-
try and ask them to take other pledges
and forget the past? Is there either
sense or business in the idea
that man can best prove his fidelity
by his own faithlessnesS?

THAT JOINT DEBATE LIE.

In and about four thousand people
are tired Of the squirming Of Jerry
Simpson and his friends over the
Eagles published report of the Long
Simpson debate We say four thousand
because something like that number
heard the debate and therefore know
whether the Eagles report was gar
bled one or not. Besides these four
thousand twenty thousand other read
ers, supposedly, have heard enough Of
1t.
In the first place Mr.. Long nor any
other man would hardly be capable Of
improving his own speech by doctor
ing il: after it had reached the Eagle
Office, and we know Of no other gentle
man around here equal to such task.
In the next place, Jerry and his friends
were invited to point out any discre,,-
ancies they might think, they had dis
covered in the Eagles report of Mr..
Simpsons sperech. They didn't. They
couldn't. There were no variations
from the words which fell from his lips.
Finally the expert stenographer who
took the report and transcribed it into
typewriter copy, made an oath that
his work was correct and true. 1t IS
hardly suppOsable that the dumb iron
and steel machines that put the speech
es into type, or that the electrotyping
furnace, Of prrfecring press tempered
in any way with the utterances of
either Mr.. Simpson or Mr.. Long. As
for the proof readers, foreman Of CON-
posing room, mailing clerks and press
men, they stand ready to make an aft
davit that they did not doctor" either
speech.
Some prejudiced Pop reader Of the
Eagle, living at La Crosse, in Rush
county, cancelled his subscription with
the declaration that he would take
some paper that would publish the de-
bates as made. whereupon he subscrib-
ed for the Wichita Beacon, which did
not handle the debate and could not.
There is but one printing establishment
in the state of Kansas that would be
equal to reproducing in full in its next
succeeding issue, joint debate cover
ing three hours of consecutive talking
of two men. The La Crosse man there
fore not only wrote himself down an
ass but exhibited himself in cold print
as a fool He not only missed all the
subsequent speeches published by the
Eagle, but all of the speeches daily de-
ivered by Major Mckinley and those
made by Bryan.
The Eagle is Republican, and parti-
san, but it claims to be both decent and
honorable.

ior, purer love for humanity. and that
part of it which has been unfortunate,
luckless or unhappy than John Davis,
on the Republican side? Does any one
believe for an instant that Rufe Cones
heart is forever throbbing in sympathy
for the man VINO can't wear as big d.
amond as Rufe does? Does any one
believe that the pot-bellied, vulgar
mouthed old snoozer Leedy ever really

Breidenrhal, the absolute boss of Kan
saS Popuiism, has more thought toward
improving the economic condition of
the country than he has towards wad-
ding his own fat pocketbook with pub
lie funds earned by him in perfectly
regular. political, leech-like manner:
If there are any who really believe
this, why don't they take the pains to
quietly figure out for themselves that
the last six years in Kansas makes the
presumption that Breidenrhal, Leedy
and the rest are reformers, hog wash
and rot? If thse men are reformers to-
day. how long will it be before they are
denounced by their own party as trait
ors, boodlers and scoLndrels? Did not
the Populists here, in this county, as in
every other county in Kansas, tell US
only a short time ago what a grand,
good man John F. Willets was? His
heart, We were told, throbbed for the
poor man. His eyes were dimmed with
tears of sympathy for the unfortunate;
his soul was absorbed in great unself-
ish passion to aid an oppressed humani-
ty. But today he is become a thing TO
be scOffed at, Knocked and derided by
Populism.
The question Is, can man within six
years lose an overwhelming nobility of
soul, an Overruling passion of philan-
thropy and become rogue and a thief.
Or is it that he has always been q
rogue and thief, that he was six years
ago. and that POpulism when it asked
the people of this state 10 name him for
the most exalted position of the CON-
mOnwealth, lied, just common, ordin
airy lies?
And if POpulism lied in 1890, with
Willets what assurance have the people
that it is not lying in 1896? If it now
calls its first candidate for governor in
Kansas a thief, if it has repudiated,
both at the polls and at subsequent
nominating convention, its second can
