tia As the Tihnan circus ls.s wichi. a
some days ago for the east, this must
have been some side-show that broke
away from him.
Atchison Globe: The latest lie from
Wichita sounds ike the truth 1t is 70
the effect that a bride committed suicide
there on Saturday last while sitting near
her husband. who was playing a Jews
harp. She had sufficient cause
Lawrence Journal: Governor Morrill,
has appointed Mr.. Vermilion as a mem
Der Of the Wichita police board. This
is one OF the worst mistakes Governor
Morrill, has made. The Wichita saloons
are able 10 furnish all the vermillion tina;
is needed in that neck of the prairie.
Ness Republican: The Mail and Breeze
facetiously remarks that the Wichita sa-
loon-keepers need rest was why Chief
Burt was so severe with them OF course
THAI was a witty squib and its the proper
caper for the lesser lights 10 blink sar-
castically at the Peerless Princess. but.
seriously, is not the e-day saloon better
than the 7-day drug 60 store or jug joint?
Emporia Gazette: NJ. NJ. Murdoch has
for governor. Major Morrill, viii be NOM
mated on the first ballot. The Potter
boom won't control any more votes than
Ed Hoch had when he refused TO allow his
name TO be presented. Jim Troutman is
good fellow, but it is not written down
in the stars that he shall be nominated
this year.
Ness Republican: After the change of
police regulations at Wichita this spring
one of the sanity moved to the more
moral % atmosphere of Topeka. The
little daughter CT this man knelt in prayer
at her mothers knee on the eve Of their
departure. In closing her prayer the
little tot with sweet simplicity murmured:
''Dood bye. dear bod. We'se doin' TO
move TO Topeta.'
Louisville CKD Times: Kansas and
South Carolina, the two extremes OF Jay
hawkers and Nullifiers, have been brought
together, cheek by jowl. in the person of
"Pitchfork' T1llman of the Palmetto
state, who is now giving his Populistic
performances in circus tent out in the
Sunfower state. Tillman for president
and LewelIng or Lease for vice president
would be a combination of earthquake
and sandstone that these two most err
ratio Of all the Union sisterhood would
regard as irresistible.
Topeka Mail and Breeze: The story is
floating around that the Mystic Brother
hood has decided on Colonel Murdoch as
an eminently proper man TO run for gov
ernor. and that the colonel himself, since
his electoral as national delegate. is in
the notion OF trotting a heat in the next
convention. And losdng at this thing
from the standpoint of Colonel Marsh.
WIN not? The Wichita convention ap-
parently demonstrated that Wichita is
larger than the state, and that Colonel
Marsh IS the chosen leader OF the Wichita
idea cannot be doubted. II Wichita is
able to run the state, why shouldn't she
have the governor? And il she has the
governor, of course Colonel Murdoch is
the proper candidate. Some people who
ripped an undergarment or two in an ef-
fort to elect the colonel may have sup
posed that he would be satisfied with the
vacant honor of being delegate TO St.
Louis This is where they are mistaken.
A taste of power whets the appetite of
ambition The colonel has the Mystic
Brotherhood behind him and the state of
Kansas at his feet. Why shouldn't he
