1t Will Be All Right.

Speaking of the WORLDS weekly
visits and his interests in TregO
county politics, ex-Superintendent A.
B. Baker, writes as follows:
Il was pleased to see that some of
the good and solid men of the east
end, who for time followed the false
gods of the PopuliStS, have repented
and returned to the fold. Those men
over in the Cockrell neighborhood
were too sound and sensible to remain
long with the POpuliSt rabble.
Il suppose that Kansas will go for
Bryan-I don't dare hope otherwise.
1t would, however, be a great relief
TO see something done to remove the
tarnish from the name of the state.
Since the first success of POpuliSm,
Kansas has been the butt of all the
man was noted for his eXtravagant
pride in his state: now he has repu-
tation for the opposite.
Il don't expect to come out to vote,
would if L could afford the expense,
for l should like to put in vote
against Bryan, as well as one for my
friends. L greatly desire to see our
county go straight for the G. O. p. 1t
is still our county. and L suppose al
ways will be-"
We assure Mr.. Baker that the state
of his feelings and the greatstate and
county of his adoption, as well as the
entire nation, will experience ''relief"
by the death of the free trade, free
of November. His solicitude is shared
by many warm friends who remember
his public spirit and effective work in
the schools of this county. They will
see that the election ''goes right"

How We Vote.

We begin at top of the left hand
column, and place cross in the
square at the left of the Mckinley
and Hobart electors and continue on
down the column.
We vote for Mckinley, because we
believe in sound money and protec-
tien for American labor, American
markets, American products and
American institutions, whether as
sailed from within or-withOut.
We vote for Congressman Dick Blue
Judge Ellis for the same reasons.
We vote for Governor Morrill, and
the rest of the state ticket because
they have given US an honest, bust
ness administration of state affairs,
and we vote for Parker and Cockrell
to assist in a continuation of the
same.
We vote for Ham because we be-
lieve the appellate judgeship will be
safe in his hands.
We vote for J. A. Nelson for county
attorney because he has given US a
careful administration of his office.
We vote for G. n. Gibson for clerk
OF Unc ulSJFlCU court because he Is
well qualified by experience, scholar
ship and character to continue a sue
cessful administration of his office.
If we should ever go crazy we hope
our friends will see to it that our
sanity is tried before a probate Judge
whose soundness of mind is, itself,
unquestioned We vote for Capt. A.
j. johnson. He is no crank.
We vote for superintendent 4. S.
Peacock because he has given us the
most effective work and best service
ever exhibited in the conduct of his
Office in the history of Trego county.
We vote for 4. p. Hinshaw for COM
missioner of the second district be-
cause he is not only capable of per-
forming the duties of the Office, but
by previous service has proven his alb
solute fairness in the treatment of all
interests.
We vote for Trustee L. G.. johnson
for the same reasons.
We vote for our candidate for road
overseer in our district, and for him
only, because he is capable, and that
is the only legal vote.
In conclusion. we vote for the whole
Republican ticket because it is the
best for all.

Communicated.

RIVERSIDE, KAN, Oct. &c, 1896.
Editor WORLD: The Independent
seems to be prolific of Republican :"
correspondents. The latest fakir of
this kind pretends to report the meet
ings held by Mr.. Nelson and others in
the south part of the county. In the
first place it would be only unlimited
gall that would ask Republicans to
give up their appointed meeting to
rattle-brained takers of no particular
persuasion, other than anarchy, and
it was only gall that pushed itself
upon the notice of the voters present
who were miSrepreSented as to their
political views. The only opposition
talker who did interrupt, attempted
to quote Mr.. Nelson, but was corrected
by that gentleman and admitted the
correction. He also tried to mis-
quote and misinterpret the constitu-
ton of the United States, but was
corrected by Supt. A. S. Peacock and
admitted the correction. Mr.. Mel
sons talk about the free coinage of
but was just in line with the free sill
yer talkof the Organizes, and could
not be called silly only because it was
parallel with their arguments.
This correspondent is not a Repub-
lican. He is not even decent Popu-
list, but has been repudiated by them.
He curses Lewelling, who discharged
him. probably each was afraid the
other would steal more than his share. J
His whole business now is to work off
a gigantic swindle upon some hated
capitalist, ii one can be found who is
green enough to bite, and he spends
his spare time poisoning the minds of
our voters who believe in law and or
der, which he does not, as we know
by his own assertions. His only re-
deeming feature is that he "belongs
to no party''-to the credit of all of
them.
Ii he thinks there is no one down here
who has the ability and courage to
meet him he is mistaken. His as
sumption is unfounded, and his pre-
sumption unbounded.

Wedding Bells,

Married Wednesday, October %,
1896, at the residence of the brides
mother, Miss Affie Cox of this city to
DIR. J. G. Vanderpool of Cove City.
The solemn, vet felicitous words
which united the congenial couple for
a long life of happy usefulness, as we
hope and believe, were pronounced by
Rev. G. NJ. Q. Thompson in the pres
ence of the immediate relatives and
Hon. Abram Frakes and sister, Mrs.
Jones, as guests of the contracting
parties.
Miss Affie has been one of our most
energetic and successful teachers,
evincing commendable spirit in her
work. Pupils, parents and school
officers all unite in praise of her LABOR
and all offer congratulations and good
wishes.
DR.. Vanderpool is rising young
physician who deserves the success
which follows thorough preparation.
He is well and favorably known here.
The happy couple left on Thursday
morning for Cove City where the doc
tor has prepared a home and built up
a successful practice. Our heartiest
good wishes follow them.

Silverites have been placarding their
windows land attempting the same
for other peoples windows) with a
cartoon bearing the following alleged
quotation from Abraham Lincoln:
eff government contracted a debt
with a certain amount of money in
circulation, and then contracted the
money volume before the debt was
paid, it is the most heinous crime that
a government could commit against
the people," No educated person ac-
quainted with the history and writ
ings of the immortal Lincoln will
suppose for moment that he ever
committed such a crime against the
English language as here attributed
to him. But admitting that the quo
tation is authentic, it is a positive
statement against the folly and crime
of the free silyerites, who admit that
their policy will reduce the circula-
ton one-half and still they advocate
they payment of a 1O0-cent debt with
a 5O-cent dollar, and offer it as their
most plausible argument, the very
suggestion of which is an insult to an
honest debtor.

shows that under the present admin
Istration the number of districts and
the work of the Office has been in
creased without an increase of salary.
There has been a slight decrease in
teachers wages, and large decrease
in bonded Indebtedness There has
been large increase in the number
and value of school houses and other
district property, while the tax levy
and length of term remain the same.
There has been large increase in the
number of school visits and the num-
Der of teachers examined and pre-
pared to teach. The number of first
grade teachers have been increased
end temporary certificates reduced to
the minimum. What is more import
ant, while our population has de-
creased the average daily attendance
at the common schools has increased
more than ten per cent, and the at
tendance at the county normal has
been nearly doubled. The effective
work of the normal and the interest
in it and other teachers meetings has
more than doubled, and attracts stu
dents and visitors from other coun-
ties, who wish to avail themselves of
the superior advantages offered here.
Our voters will retain the official at
the head of our schools who has
brought them to this fiourishing con-

If, by any chance, Bryan should be
elected president, it will be because
the people have been led into an err
FOneOuS idea of the issue at hand
Times have been hard, and people
have been led to listen to much quack-
cry, and many have been carried away
: BY the false theories of finance which
have been promulgated. All history,
all experience and all common sense
and common honesty teach that pri-
mary money must have intrinsic or
real value. Fiat money only goes at
TITS face value as long as the people
have confidence in the governments
financial ability to redeem it in pri-
mary money. Free silver now means
half fat, and if the proposition to
make our primary money half fiat
1hould be carried. it will be because
me people have been led into the err
1or of believing that the stamp of the
K0yernment can create value. Moth
ing can be more erroneous, nothing
more fallacious, and we hope the good
<nse of the American people will as
ert itself next Tuesday and bury, be-
cath an avalanche of ballots, the de-
1sion that the stamp of the govern
bent, alone, is all that Is necessary to
oake good, sound money.

Rev. c. p. Stevenson, of Salina,
made splendid address on the issues
of the campaign, at the Morgan and
Galloway school houses, last Monday
and Tuesday evenings. He is much
better informed upon monetary ques-
tions than the average speaker, and
makes a very interesting and instruc-

Saturday, October 31st, has been
proclaimed, or suggested, as flag day
by Chairman Hanna, of the Republi-
can national committee. Chairman
Jones also suggested the same thing
after Mr.. Hanna had issued his rec
ommendation to observe the day. 1t
is fitting that patriotism, as expressed
by the flying of sold glory" should
have prominent place in this cam
paign. and we would be glad to see

from every public building, but from

We have not INDUCED in anv wil6

We have not INDUCED in any wild
or extravaganza predictions in this
campaign, but we would like to have
you compare the following guess with
the result, after the votes are counted:
OF the AT electoral votes, Mckinley
will have more than 260, or 80 more
than necessary to elect him. OF the
popular vote, which will reach nearly
fourteen million, Mckinley will have
over eight million-a majority over
all the candidates in the field, and
the largest popular vote ever given
any candidate for any office in the
United States, and that means the
world.

Wheat brings nearly so per cent.
