SOMEBODY BADLY FOOLED.

The worst fooled outfit, politically, in
| this state. this fall, will be the fusion
| fixers in Sedgwick county. They have
been doing no end Of parading and
! blowing. but principally because Re-
| plblicans have remained comparative
| ly quiet these roaring yawpers have
| Eeld the curbstones for two months
with the claim that they had every
| thing their own way. Their bosses
! have assured them that the Republi-
can forces were hopeleSsly discourag-
ell. and that half of the party was go
ing pell nell for Bryan, Leedy and the
two Jerrys-Botkins and Simpson. 1t
is questionable if dozen Republicans
in the county can be found who will
do this thing, while it is known that
there are a number of self-respecting
Democrats who would stay at home
and disfranchise themselves before
they would vote for these men, much
less tie principles and destructive poll
cies which they represent. III such
Democrats will not vote for this ridicul
Gus pie-eating combination, upon what
grounds or upon what theory do they
count upon Republicans throwing
away the principles and convictions of
a lifetime in support of such an out
fit With one or two exceptions their
local nominees and candidates are IN
known. They have nothing to say in
their behalf even. Their whole depend
ence is the parade whoop and the curb
stone yawp. These don't count. AS
they will find out on election day. The
Republicans who are going about their
business and keeping their mouths
shut viii be heard from at the ballot
box. And the Republicans are all go
ing to be at the polls, all the misprere-
sensations and lying Of the fusion gang
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
When you get right down to the bot
tom facts, with Mckinley's election
conceded, there will be found mighty
few Republicans, after election day, in
Sedgwick county, who cannot truth
fully say that they voted for the winn-
ing man, not only, but that Major Nc
Kinley was their first choice and that
they never had any intention of vot-
ing against their own party or against
their own principles. They say that
a thousand disgruntled Pops and fixed
fusionists marched down the streets of
Wichita Saturday night, but they for
got the five thousand quiet on-lookers
who will do their marching on the 3rd
day of November, and who will have a
silent ballot rather than a flaming
torch in their hands when they enter
the booths. The march will be in the
broad day light and it will be silent
march to Republican victory, in which
line boys hired at ten cents per head to
carry lights won't count

CALM VERSUS DESPERATION,

With what a magnificent dignity and
candor Major Mckinley receives his
visitors. Yet many Populists read the
newspapers and affect to despise every
thing Mckinley says. They drink in
Bryan's speeches as though they were
liquid. They want their statesmen to
froth and fume and roll their eyes and
roar and Srumble and sputter. They
never dream that if Bryan should ever
get to be president he will rear back on
his spinal column, bulge his stomach
out. raise his eyebrows and burst his
vest buttons of with Importance. Bry-
an doesn't do that now. He is run
ming for election now. He believes
that dignity would be hinderance TO
him. But get him into office once and
a common fellow like Rufe Cone Of our
city or Sam Amidon would have 20 get
down on his stomach four blocks away
from the White House and crawl all

certainly lord ii over everything. So
anxious is he TO swell il. lord il, boss il
and be general car when he gets 10
he president that he even announces
that he does rot want a second term
He knows well enough that the
bfoated dignity which he will swing
around the premises will be a mighty
big argument for one term.
Mckinley has not such plans in view.
What dignity he has. be has now. Ii is

RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM.

Right down at the bottom of all this
discussion is the one insurmOuntable.
incontrovertible, incontestable fact
that free trade and free silver togeth-

liquid SHAKE ii. Ii is OF the same
color and form. Drop hot coal into
1t. The coal is extinguished. The
chemist tells you it is harmless. Now
mix the liquid and powder together.
Give it a short quick shake. Touch a

grind 1t with the pestle: do any one Of
these thing, and you, the mixture, the
apothecary, the drug store and the
buildings for a block on either side,
will go up into granulated smithereens.

JERRY AND A SINGLE TAX.

81 am an absolute free trader" That
is what Jerry Simpson says. Some of
Jerry's followers apologize for this by
saying: Jerry knows better than
that. Jerry knows we must have a
tariff for revenue and how, just to run
the government" He does, Ell? And
since when has the Honorable Sockless
Shuffier favored a tariff for revenue?
Never. He is for the collection Of a tax
OH land. He is for Henry Georges
scheme. He got Henry Georges whole
book printed in the Congressional
Record at the cost Of hundreds of dol
lars to the nation. That is why Jerry
Simpson is for free trade. He knows
it will force the collection Of revenue
by the single tax scheme.
II you want absolute free trade. vote
for Jerry Simpson. He has the mind
to vote for it. He will not back down.
His faith in the Henry George single
tax is sublime and he would risk turn
ing the country into revolution in order
to try it on.

AS THE WORK STANDS.

The Popocrat managers have aban'
doned all the states lying east of the
Allegheny mountains and north of the
Potomac, including Maryland and
West Virginia, and have turned their
attention to the west. This step Is
practically concession that Mckinley
has Won And he has. There seems
to be no doubt about it. The Bryan
committee which two months ago
claimed everything west of the Missis'
sippi river now see that the claim can
not be made good. Iowa, Minnesota,
Nebraska and Kansas are all now
claimed, outright, by the national Re-
publican central cimmittee. But the
fusionists will make heroic effort to
save at least Nebraska to Bryan, and
Will leave no stone unturned as 10
Kansas. In the mean time Kansas
isn't the kind to get left. Seeing the
inevitable she is crawling into the
band wagon. Bryan does not want to
lose his own state and after the conf
dent claim of his friends, during the
summer that Kansas would go Pop his
committee dislikes the idea of giving
up this state What they can do more
than they are doing we can't see; and
what they are doing amounts to moth
ing. The campaign, in this state, for
the fusion ticket, is being engineered
by the renegade Democrats. and not
by the Pops, who are only the tail to
the fusion dog.
The only thing to which the national
Republican committee are giving their
special attention is the congressional
fight The committee as every Repub-
lican realizes the Importance of elect
ing a Republican congress that will be
in full accord with the Mckinley ad-
ministratiOn, and the more pronounced
the triumph of the head of the ticket
the greater the necessity Of having q
congress that will carry out the Repub
lean pilicy of protection, reciprocity
and good money. So the campaign will
be pushed with yigOr up to the night of
November in the interest of legisla-
tive districts and United States sena-
tors and congressman. To this end
every Republican should catch the
spirit and imbibe the zeal of commit
tees and speakers, for the deeper that
free trade fusion in connection with
free silver is buried the better. Even
il free silver were possible it could
never succeed except in connection
with protective policy, and high pro-
lection at that.
AS nobody questions how the eastern
states will go We submit the following
table OF Mckinley states of the central
or middle west which doubtful ones
might do well to cut out and paste in
their hats for reference two weeks
from tomorrow:
