ing the campaign, Bryan may be.
Neither one thinks there is any use
coming to Kansas. Mckinley knows
it would be useless, Bryan knows IL
is unnecessary.
Rawlins county Populists have nom
mated VIM. Lewis for the legislature.
He served one term and made a good
record.
Senator Leedy met with good re-
ception when he spoke at Lyons last
week. 1t is said that on nO'former oc.
casion did a political event attract
such crowd to that city, 347 teams
and three bands were in the parade.
Leedy did not disappoint the expecta-
lions OF the throng and delivered one
of the best speeches of the campaign.
Good reports come in from Titles
meetings. At Yates Center last week
he addressed the largest crowd that
has gathered in Woodson county for
several years On the afternoon of the
day of the speaking the Bryan club
raised free silver pole 90 feet high.
Little will speak at Wichita on the
18th and at Great Bend on the 10th.
The Wichita Bryan clubs have made
arrangements to purchase several
thousand torches and will have mon
ster parade sometime in October: A
banner will be given to the ward or
precinct turning out with the largest
number.
The attendants and employees
around the state insane asylum have
been assessed per cent of their yearly
wages for campaign purposes and the
whole amount will be taken out of the
October pay. The average wages of
the attendants is $22 per month the
assessment will take the biggest share
of the October wages. About the same
levy will be made on the employees Of
all state institutions unless the superin-
tendents who have the fat jobs go
down into their own pockets and put
up the money.
In the twenty-frst representative
district John Goodno is the candidate
of the Populists and Democrats. His
brother B.IH. Goodno is the Republican
nominee from the same district. The
office will be in the family no matter
who wins but the result may make a
great difference to the people at large.
There is fusion between the Popu-
lists and Democrats on a county tick Ell
in Washington county but there is not
perfect harmony.
Ingalls, and PETER will both be al
the Rocks cour'y fair but not on the
same day.
Lightning struck house in Hutch
inson last week and cut up some gu eer
capers without doing very much da M
age. By the chimney in one of the
rooms hung two pictures, one of Nc
Kinley and one of Bryan, McKinley's
picture was unframed bnt Bryan's was
destroyed. There is only one way to
account for this discrimination on the
part of the lightning-Bryan is posi-
tive, Mckinley is negative, Bryan is
magnetic and attracts, Mckinley re-
pells.
1t is strongly intimated that ex'
governor Click may lose his office Of
commissioner of pensions on account
of being friend to silver and taking
an active part in advocating its restora'
ton to an equality with gold. To adj
vocate silver is treason against the
powers that be and the power that is
behind the throne-the money power.
1t Is rumored that there will be
formed an alliance of all the prohibit.
ton elements in Kansas and that st.
John will be nominated for governor,
1t would require a lot, of political
manipulating to bring about such an
alliance and st. John has not yet con.
scented to be the candidate.
L. C. Boyle, candidate for attorney
general was taken sick on the 9th at
TT. Scott and has cancelled all his
dates until the gath. He had made
thirty-six speeches in eighteen days.
Rev. Park A. Bradford, a congrega
tional minister of Lowell, Mass, has
lost his pulpit on account of his strong
silver views too freely expressed. Rev.
Bradford was former resident OF
Kansas and it was here that he re-
ceived his financial education. His
views don't suit the back gold
bugs of Mass.
The Kansas Railway Employees club
is supposed to be non-partisan and its
meetings are supposed to be for the
purpose of discussing the advancement
of railway employees in the state, but
the bills sent out advertising their
meeting in Topeka last week were got
ten ont by the Republican central
