we have considered it would be a det-

ers of the highest known standards
of quality to have our name aSSociat-
ed with this class of goods.
We shall be pleased to invoice the
above brand to you on this market at
price quoted. Feeling sure you would
use one of our bulk coffees as far as
possible as a substitute for the pack
age goods, and awaiting your further
favOrS, remain

The convention seems to be very
harmonious and the result seems to
be perfectly satisfactory. Ellis is
sure to be our next congressman from
the Sixth district--Gove City Ga
Zette.
***
This is as it should be- Ellis made
good race two years ago, up to the
time he was taken sick and deserved
the nomination again. Now the Re-
publicanS want to go to work and
elect him with good majority.-Al-
ton Empire.

A. III. Ellis, of Beloit. was nomi-
mated for congress by the Republicans
of the Sixth district. He carried the
banner two years ago and was beaten,
but common consent admits that such
will not be thecase this time.-Clay
Center Times.
Mr.. Ellis is Republican of long
standing, and is an excellent repre-
sentative of his party in the great
and glorious Sixth, and while he is
not in our district the writer feels
confident that he will be elected by a
good rousing majority. = Concordia
Daylight.
The nomination of A. III. Ellis at
Hill City was certainly the best nomi-
nation that could be made: he being
probably the most able man for the
position in the district. Republicans
can heartily support him, and make
every effort to elect him. Norton
Courier.
A. III. Ellis, of Beloft, was nominate
ed for congress by the Republicans of
the Sixth district. Your Uncle Billie
Baker knew just about what that
would do when he an
nOunced that he would not be cand-
idate for reelection. - Minneapolis
Messenger.
The best feeling prevailed through
out the convention and all felt assur-
ed that the Sixth district will this
fall elect congressman who will be
heard from in the halls of congress,
and no longer be represented by a
as it has been for the past
six years. Oak Herald.
~
Mr.. Ellis is not only one of the best
equipped men in the district for the
position, but was really entitled to
the nomination, he having been de-
feated in the election two years ago
from the simple fact that he lay on a
sick bed and was unable to make a
canvass of the district. He will be
elected this time and be a credit to
the district and to the state.-F'rank-
fort Bee.
The candidate, A. III. Ellis, is too
well known throughout the district
to need an extended biography. He
is thoroughly identified with the in
terests of the district and western
Kansas. An old soldier, an able law
yer, brilliant orator, an upright man
apd an honorable citizen. Judge Ell
lis. when elected, as he undoubtedly
will be this fall, will serve our district
and state with distiction and credit.
