Gratis are beginning to show their true coiors
more and more every day, and become more
desperate and vicious.

Kansas.
r. E. Wills, st. Francis, KAN: Kansas Is
sure for Mckinley, by a big majority.
C. F. Black, Kiowa, Kan: The same old
Butternut cry in the North and the same
old rebel yell in the South can be heard
again. The same old Butternuts and rebels
with their Populist-Anarchist following
have now combined to rule or ruin Ten
all the old boys to do their duty, unflinch-
ingly, and all will be well.
Geo Ousterhout, Conway Springs, Kan !:
Comrades, who are shouting for Bryan
Comrades, look around you. Aren't they
the ones that tried to raise armies III the
Northwest to shoot rs in the back! don't
want to be governed by any such men. l
am for America, first, last and all the time.
/ don't want our country classed with
Mexico, China and Japan. l want Sound
Money, Protection, Prosperity, Patriotism
and VIM. Mckinley.
A. J. Ogle 5th Iowa, Fl Scott, KAN:
We have here a veteran loyal club OF nearly
300. But there are four or five veterans
who have got their brains turned, like COM
rade Williams, OF Nebraska. Note this Pc
cuIiar incident here in Fort Scott: A couple
of ladies are neighbors on the East Side, one
of them Jealous Republican, the other an
ardent Democrat. When the Republicans
held their Convention at st. Louis these
ladies agreed that the Republican lady
should feed all the Republican tramps and
the other the Democratic tramps. They
now testify that the tramps have averaged
one day, and every one OF these has been a
Democrat. The Democratic lady has TED
them all; the Republican lady none. 80
that the Popocrats will have another cause
of complaint against Wall Street and East
ern capitalists for sending no Republican
tramps out West. 1t would be about as
senseless as many Things they say. Mr..
Bryan and his followers will find that ali Of
the Middle West. two-thirds of the far West
and large portion Of the South will be the
| "enemys country" as well as New York
and New England when it comes to this
sectional issue OF the Popocrats. This coun-
try had enough of sectionalism in the COS.
Greenup Leeper, Co. b, 18th Kan. Cav,
Brakeman, Kan, believes that Mckinley
will carry Kansas and Nebraska, as nearly
every soldier he has met says he will vote
for him.
J. r. Stephens, Sergeant, Co. B, 9th Iowa
Cav, Papco, Kan, notes the many foolish
things said by Comrade Williams, but the
to line up for Bryan. Comrade Stephens
attended the State Reunion at Topeka, and
found the old boys ehere quite solid for
| Comrade Mckinley, though there were some
Bryanites among them. Four years such rs
we have been having since 1892 is quite
enough for any of them.
J. B. Cook, 4th Ill. Cav, Cheiopa, Kan,
forwards us pamphlet issued by "a Wallace
| A. Bartlett saying that such stuff does not

find out how much he was paid by the
/ Demo Pops to have his name attached to
| thai paper.
G. w. Geogier, Co. G. I'd Mich, Mankato,
Kan: Nine out ten of the ex-Union soldiers
around ME are going to vote for Mckin-
ley. We have everything to fight here
| Democrats, Popullsts, and the Lord knows
who,-but it will be found that the old
boysn of this town, with but very few ex-
ceptions, will cast their votes for Mckinley,
Protection, and Prosperity.
Kentucky.
]. L. Reeves and Mason Popplewel, Co.
G. Sd KY, Kidd's Store, KY: Look at the
suffering caused by Free Trade. VIVA will
be the result with Free Silver? What
silver we have is good to-day because the
Government will redeem it with gold We
want to keep it good by being able to
redeem it in gold. We find that the mercy
seat was covered with pure gold. What
God called good let not man put down.
| Let us rally on our cOlors again for the
good of our beloved country. Read Genesis
9: II, -, and l Kings, 8: IA, and study them
well.
Louisiana.
Elijah Parks, Co. f, 9th Mass, 1416 Gus
tom House street, New Orleans, La, is Of
the opinion that the silver craze is only
Il deep-laid scheme of moneyed men to un.
load Their bullion on the public, reap theil
/ millions and care not for the results that
NAV follow What we want is statesmen
with common sense to legislate to keep gold
and silver in circulation, and then, with a
| Protective tariff, when the workingman will
get more wages than he does under the
present "tariff for REFORM" all will enter
upon a season of prosperity and good times.
With higher wages every family could own
| their own home, when we would have here
a perfect Garden of Eden, and not have tc
die to find Heaven. While he does not
think that Louisiana will be allowed to cast
her electoral vote for Comrade Mckinley, all
old soldiers of whom he has knowledge will
vote for Mckinley and for Protection.
Massachusetts.
