Along the Kansas Nile.

In Kansas last Tuesday the Republican,
elected 2l5 county officers; the Populist:
III.
Jerry Simpsons friends are preparing Il
order Judge Mckay out OF the Popul.s
party.
No county in the state made as big Re
publican gains, Tuesday, as did Sedgwick
county.
1t is now proposed by the Republican:
of the state 10 elect their state chairman
in the convention by a vote. The Repub.
Leans OF Kansas might better leave in
novations alone.
As a token of victory, the Wellington
Voice, Populst, prints perfect likeness
of silver dollar. The Voice should hide
that issue. 1t is against the law to publish
Reproductions of coins.
The election returns. through Republi-
can gains, show distinctly that the most
prosperous part of the west is Kansas and
the most prosperous part of Kansas Is
southern Kansas-barring Oklahoma.
The Wellington Voice Is writing up AMI
illustrating Sumner county farms. The
pictures of the farm houses usually show
the family on the front porch with a couple
of the boys on the lawn in front holding
up their bicycles.
Ex-Mayor Savage OF Wellington threw
himself into the fight last Tuesday and
succeeded IN electing a Republican county
commissioner. Savage is Democrat ana
the Populists are promenading up and
down with their knives out.
The Populists OF Sumner county ascribe
their victory last Tuesday to the fact
that Andy Richards, editor of the Wei
Engton Mail. Republican, has been per-
nitted to dictate several OF the Repu5f-
can postmasters in the county.
The old political bitterness in Kansas IS
dissipated. Last Tuesday night in Wei
lington. Heskitt, Populist, was elected
sheriff. He hitched up his team. took in
Holiday, the Republican who ran against
him, and drove him out 20 his country
home, several miles away.
Leedy will not FIRE a single Silver Re-
publican from office. as Is predicted He
is afraid 20 co It. The plan Of keeping
the Silver Republicans separate worked
for one year. The second year the Silver
Republican who did not cease TO be a Re
publican entirely is not very good Popu-
list.
At Fort Scott. Governor Lee1y's police
commission succeeded in beating the fu-
sion ticket. Leedy. however. viii not
abolish the metropolitan police commits
sion. II will break his neck and dump
h.n- into the aSh-bsrrel. Some Rspubii
can vii become governor. and whoever ne
- z h does not Teiegats the police COM
missions. he will be broken and dumped.
