UNDER POPULISM, TOO.
Gov. Morrill, Says He Never Saw the
State SO Prosperous.

Kansas City, Aug. III have never
seen the state of Kansas so prosperous
as at the present time: have never
seen the people have SO mucE ready
money, so few debts and such large
amounts of grain and stock for market
as now" said Ex-Governor E. N. Nor
rill, of Kansas, at the union depot last
evening Continuing, he said:
People up in the northeast part of
the state won't borrow money now at
any rate of interest, and they won't
buy goods of any kind on time. I have
never before seen anything like it in
the state.
During the summer our bank has
collected a large amount of cash for
eastern people. and Cancelled heavy in
debtedness. The eastern people are
now fairly imploring us to send no more
but to get the people to keep the money
on extended time to the loans.
Brown county is in splendid condi-
ton. We have some wheat, large num-
bers of cattle are being prepared for
market, the finest crop of corn is ma
turing ever seen in the county and
there is enough old corn in the county
to bring in a million of dollars if sold
at 20 cents per bushel Our people owe
but little and are happy and prosper
Gus. Our vast stores of grain. our
herds of fat cattle will be needed to feed
the world, and the people are assured
of good price for all they have to sell
The present is delightful and lie future
full of announcement"
Ex-Governor Morrill, is splendid
health. He is much stro Er in ap-
pearance than when in Topeka.
