Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1896-09-25

There is a sturdy old farmer in
this county who has always been a
Republican, and who was impervi
GUS to all arguments and appeals OF
the silver men. He received silver
literature, time and again, and his
silver neighbors argued with him,
but in vain Finally, a Republican
heeler gave him one of John Sher.
man speeches, in which John said
in effect, that if free silver carries,
the prices of farm products will be
doubled. The old farmer read that
passage. scratched his head, read it
again, and then said: "Well, il
that is the case, III vote for Bryan
and silver" He had a neighbor
who was as rabid Republican as
HE had been, and he CAV the neigh
Dor Sherman's speech, pointing out
that particular passage As a re.
suit, we are two votes ahead -two
more silver men.

The meeting at the Iron Bridge
east Of Co'ony, Tuesday, was "a
good one, Notwithstanding the fact
that Senator PETER did not get
there. The Senator did not attend
the meeting because he had been
assigned to Garnet on that day,
and had not been informed at head
quarters that the change had been
made-that he had been assigned
to the iron bridge meeting instead
of Garnet. He reached Garnett
on time, and went to the hotel
Chairman Mellen was informed that
the Senator was here, so he hired a
team and started him on the road to
Colony, but it was then too late to
reach the place Of meeting in time
to speak, and he went on to Colony.
However, as we have stated, the
meeting at the bridge was a good
one, there being not less than g.
600 people there. S. L. Mathews,
OF this city, and Mr.. Davis, of
Bourbon county, addressed the
meeting in the forenoon, and Judge
Riggs and j. n. Caldwell spoke
after dinner.
Those who heard Mr.. Riggs say
his speech was one of the very best
they have heard during this cam
paign-very interesting and very
ins tructive. He made many friends
and number of converts to silver.
At Colony, in the evening, Sen
ator PETER spoke to large and at.
tentive audience, and accomplished
much good. Mr.. Riggs also spoke.
Taken altogether, the two meet.
ings were a great benefit to the
peoples cause.

Republican orally"

The Republicans had a "grand
rally" in Garrett last Saturday
They had advertised j. V. Beck
man and A. R. Green, Dick Blues
Man Friday, and they hung a pic.
ture of Silent MacKinley between
the Jail and the court house.
[Good place Col. D. W. Hous-
ton acted as chief hangman, and
after the hanging was done, he took
off his hat and proposed three
cheers for Mckinley. Nary a
cheer was forthcoming. The fel.
lows looked more like mourners
than enthusiasts. Just then, a gust
of wind came McKinley's way, and
he turned somersault, which re-
minded us of his position on the
financial question.
The "crowd" gathered at the
at the opera house. and i numbered
just 800 persons, 81 of whom were
ladies', and at least one-third were
Bryan men. Eight colored men
were in attendance.
j. V. Beekman failed to put in
an appearance, and the audience
listened to A Green abuse the
"Pops", Democrats and silver Re-
publicans. He denounced Teller
and Cannon said Cannon had
four or five wives. He failed,
however,. to tell the people any
thing about his own history; forgot
to tell about that pretty cousin"
who was at Topeka when he
was in the state senate, spend
ing $40 day. But, then, of
course, he didn't come here to tell
the people his own history. AL is
a smooth duck. and is just the kind
of tool the Republicans need in
their business.

"YOurs For HEALTH"

Expert physicians affirm that the
right climate may cure consumption
and kindred diseases.
The right climate is where pure,
dry air, equable temperature and
constant sunshine are found.
These essentials exist in the Salt
River Valley of Arizona and various
places in New Mexico.
Descriptive pamphlets, recently
issued by Passenger Department of
the Santa Fc Route, contain such
complete information relative to
these regions as invalids need. For
