Mr.. ID. C. Downing, of Buckhorn,
writing to the Progressive Farmer,
says:
I'VE are under no obligations to fur
nish soft places for political plunderers
of any political party. The Repubh-
cans of North Carolina have endorsed
Mckinley, mammoth goldbug, for
the Presidency, and when we, as Pop
ulists, cooperate with North Carolina
Republicans, we are Indirectly endors-
ing the goldbug policy Of the Repub
hcan party. Yes, directly endorsing
it."
A special from St. Louis says: Illus
ton, of Indiana, is quoted as saying
that the lack of enthusiasm is not
reassuring. 1t strikes me- he said,
that there has been tooymuch of
machine built up and it has thrown
a damper over the enthusiasm He
went on to say that this is the quietest
convention ever known in the history
of politics, and that in his opinion it
would have been much better to have
stirred up good, active contest that
would have brought out the shouters
and have provoked good-natured
rivalry"

The latest development of the bicy-
Gle craze is the wedding on the wheel.
The first known event of that kind took
place i'm England not long since, when
the bride and groom so far outraged
tradition instead of the vicar to per-
form the ceremony. The explanation
given was that, being a wheelman, he
could better sympathize with the de-
sire to celebrate the happy event with
the help of the bicycle instead of the
prosaic carriage and pair AS an actual
fact, when the happy dy arrived the
contracting parties and some thirty
guests rode to the church in trim
cvcling costumes, and, after the cere-
1aony, back to the wedding breakfast
They did not, however, escape the rice
throwers, for the news spread rapidly
throughout the village, and crowd
collected, many members OF which had
remembered TO arm themselves in the
traditional manner.

To the Editor: Since the last cleo

of myself and others, VINO are IN the
employ of the government, here, /
write TO ask YOU for information. We
are entitled to hold our residence and
vote from the place in the State from
which we removed, by special law, not
having any residence here. We would
be glad if you would inform us,
through the columns of your paper on
the important points affecting us:
First. Is there as new registration;
second, where does it take place, how
long does it last, and when does it
close; third, is it necessary to be pre-
sent jim person to register.
Very respectfully,
r. L. BOBBITT.
Washington. ID. c., June Is.
The new election law, passed by the
last legislature. provides for new
registration only in certain cases, viz:
Whenever precinct. as laid off by
the clerk under this act, shall not be
identical in boundaries with any eX-
isting precinct at the election of 1894,
then there shall be, in such new pre-
cinct, new registration; or when
the registration book shall be mutt
lated or lost in any precinct, there
shall be a new registration
The registration books shall be kept
open between the hours of 9 O'Clock a.
m. and 4eoclocll p. m. for four con-
secutive Saturdays. at the voting place
of each precinct, beginning on the
sixth Saturday next preceding the
day of the election. Said book shall
be closed for registration on the Sat
urday next preceding the day of cleo
tion at o'clock p. m, except that in
incorporated towns and cities the reg
istration shall be closed at 8 O'Clock p.
m of the same day.
1t is necessary to be pre-
sent in person to register, as
each person registering must
take an oath that ne is a duly qualified
elector and that he has not registered
in any other precinct and that he is
an actual bona fde resident Of the pre-
cinct in which he offers to register.

THE STATE TICKET.

THE ADVOCATE congratulRtes the
people Of the State generally, and the
anti-Republican portion Of them spe-
cisllY, on the excellence Of the State
ticket named at Abilene on the 9Th inst.
It is made up OF first class men, most Of
them having had long and wide expe-
rience. The candidates for Chief Justice
and Governor are both peculiarly well
equipped for public service. Mr.. Leedy
has had practical experience in the
work Of legislation, and he is familiar
with our public institutions. He knows
Kansas and her people. In life's prime,
with splendid physique, and endowed
with q fine development Of mental and
moral powers, his ambition will be salts
fed only with faithful discharge Of all
public duties imposed upon him.
AS to Judge Doster, his ample quail
fication for the Office of Chief Justice is
conceded by all. He is not only learned
in law, but he has had many years Of
practical experience at the bar and on
the bench. His mind is we'll balanced,
he il Of judicial mould. And what is
better still, his heart and bis head always
work together in hArmOnizing the fierce

THE LEADING ISSUE.

The situation and what is going on
about as, makes the issue plain. Pop
ulists have forced the fight until the
money changers, the spectators, and
the great corporate interests Of the coun-
try, have come TO zee that the present
methods Of administering the laws Of
the country can be perpetuated only by
preserving the single gold standard for
our monetary system. Hence they have
made the GOLD STANDARD the issue
before the people.
The Republican party has declared in
favor Of that policy. Democracy di-
vided-psrt for the Republican policy,
part against it. The opposition named
Bryan Of Nebraska, as Republicans once
named Lincoln Of Illinois, to represent
the peoples side. These opposition
Democrats declare against the gold
standard and adopt the Populist doc
trine Of free and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at the present legal ratio
Of l6 to /, and silver Republicans do
likewise.
Populists, standing on their own plat
form, and with their party machinery
intact, have agreed to form such COM
binations with the opponents Of the gold
standard policy as will make every one
Of their votes count on that side.
The issue, then, is clearly defined.
The Republican party presents it and
Republicans must defend it-namely:
SHALL THE PRESENT GOLD
STANDARD BE PREsERVEDP
Republicans have the affirmative
Democrats, Populists and silver Repub-
licans have the negative side.

conflicts that sometimes grow out of
proposed application of law to facts.
One good thing to be carried into the
campaign is the evident good feeling
existing between the successful and un-
successful candidates for these and the
other places on the ticket. All were
treated fairly. They submitted their
names to the convention, and like men,
they cheerful.y submit to that body's
decision.
All the candidates are specially men
toned in another part Of the paper, and
there the reader will get such facts re-
lstiDg to the personal history Of each as
we have been able to procure. The OBJ
ject Of this article Is to call attention to
the high character Of the ticket pre-
sented by the Populists for the suffrages
of the people Of Kansas.
1t is such an array of men as all of us,
not only Populists, but Democrats and
silver Republicans as well, can heartily
support. We can all unite in making an
aggressive fight for them, and it is the
aggressive fight that wins.
The advocate., 1896-08-12

encouraged with the reception and vote
he received. Though pitted against a
wheel-horSo Of the Populist party who
would probably have been nominated by
RcclRmstiOn had not Mr.. Little's friends
been so numerous and his qualifications
so universally recognized, the vote stood
$50 for Botkin to 237 for Little. With
active service in the campaign, Mr..
Llttle's personal merits and his readi-
ness and force as a speaker, will become
familiar to the people Of the State. A
man Of his education and ambition can
not be chained. He must rise.

KANSAS REPUBLICANS FAVOR sILvI


KANSAS REPUBLICANS FAVOR SILVER.
Nothing but prejudices cllnging
about party associations can account
for the course of some Republicans In
this State at the present time.
In the past, whenever the silver
question, in any form, was up for con-
siderstion, Kansas Republicans were
outspoken and unanimous in favor Of
reconciliation of silver. During the
war and for some years afterwards
there was no silver question. 1t did
not arise until the people learned that
the silver dollar had been dropped
from our list of silver coins in 1873,
and that by the revision in 1874 It's
legal tender function had been cut
down to sums not exceeding five dol
lars. From that time to this there has
been q silver question, and not until
the Republican National convention
In 1896 declared that the present gold
standard must be preserved, did any
consl dersble portion Of Kansas people
cease advocating the cause of silver
money. In 1873, the Kansas State Re-
publican convention august 28) de-
clared against a single standard and in
favor of double standard, demand
ing equal coinage of silver and gold
with out preference for either metal.
In 1890, the State Republican con.
Vention declared In favor Of the free
coinage Of silver.
In 1891, the State Senate, which was
almost unanimously Republican,
adopted q resolution asking Congress
to pass free silver coinage bill then
pending.
The Toneks Capital always strongly
espoused the cause of silver until
lately. The old Commonwealth was
the only paper of much influence In
the State that ever said anything in
favor of gold standard, until about
1892.
Senator Ingalls,, In 1873, made q
str ong speech in the Senate in favor Of
free silver coinage. In 1891, less than
two months before his last term ex-
PRED, he delivered another speech on
the same subject, and expressing, If
possible, still more forcibly, his SYM
psthy with the cause of the "money of
the people,"
Senator Plumb sVailed himself Of
every appropriate occasion to demand
the restoration of silver coinage. He
delivered very strong speech In the
Senate January 7and IA, 1891, denounc-
ing the demonetization act of 1873 and
d demanding the passage Of free coin
age bill.
