state officers for one month. Even this could
have been avoided had not the treasurer used
$4,000 in the payment of maturing debt
that bore heavy rate of interest. If the Re-
publicans had not squandered the reserve, there
would now BE- enough money in the treasury to
pay all the expenses of the fiscal year, and
enough left to pay off some more of the inter
est-bearing obligations of the state.
This was the only charge publicly made this
year, and it is safe to say it will be the last, for
it has served to dig up some Of the strange do
ings of the last administration that the Repub-
lcan leaders would rather see left to rest in
peace in the dust of the archives with other
sins that they hoped would have escaped the
eyes of the people.
MUCH JOBBERY COMES TO LIGHT.

now proved was not performed, if performed at

Splendid Showing by Leedy Administration.
REPUBLICAN JOBS EXPOSED.
Figures Defend the PoplliStS.

MONDAYS Kansas City Times contains the
following dispatch from Topeka:
Th. Populist campaign book has gone to the
printer, and will be issued this week. 1t will
he plain statement of facts, embracing com
paris >ns between the present administration
and past administration and every proposition
made therein will be backed by figures that
ca mot be disputed.
The Republicans of Kansas are represented
by tickets im every county in the state this
wear, and are making a necessarily awkward
campaign for those tickets. Contrary to their
old custom, they not indulging III any
stump speaking, for the reason that they have
nothing good to say for themselves and nothing
bad that they can safely say in public against
the present administration and its management
of state affairs.
The only thing along this line that has been
said at all was the statement made IN Kansas
CITY Republican organ few days ago concern
ING deficit in the treasury, caused, as 1t was
aepcd, bv the fact tat the Populist legisla-
lure, through incompetency, failed to make
lew sufi .ient to pay the running amount OF
the state. That statement was so absurd and
nooriously untrue that even the Republican
politicians have argued against its repetition.
The fact of the matter is, and the party who
made the statement ought to know it, that the
lew made by the last Legislature will not be-
come operative for use by the treasury until
next January The shortage has occurred un-
der the levy made by the Republican legisla-
lure of 1895, and hence, if any incompetency
has been manifested, the blame should fall on
that body. That there is likely to be dehclt
there is no doubt, but there would not be If the
Morrill, administration had not depleted the
treasury and spent the usual reserve maintained
for contingencies.
BIG RESERVE FUND SQUANDERED.
When the I.eweing administration went out,
it turned over to the Morrill, administration a
rese~ve fund of over half million dollars, but
when the Morrill, administration went out, 1t
turned over less than $4,000 to the Leedy
administration. 1t has never been clearly un-
ders,o.d what lecame Of this difference OF over
sAoo 900. but it has been charged to extrava-
pance. 1t crippled the Leedy administration,
at least to the extent of causing deficit, and,
hence, the non-payment of the warrants OF

pieces and IS all eyesore to everyone who sees
1t. These are but SAMPLE scraps iiom the his
tory of the "redeemers' " administration
The committee that has charge of the CAM
paign book is more merciful than just, or it
would have referred to the disgraceful waste of
public money the front steps of he Capital
building.
MANY ITEMS OF ECONOMY
The book challenges comparison of any
Republican administration i'll the history of the
state with the administration of Governor
Leedy. Under the present administration the
expenditures have been $500, 900 less than un-
der the Morrill, administration, to say nothing
OF over $5oo,o saving to the people of the
the state
1t Is estmlted that the passage of the text
book law will save to the people of the state
annually the sum of 5000, 900.
The stock yards bill, which has been declared
valid by Judge Foster, will save the people at
least $222, 900.
In the peuitentary, for the first nine months
of the administration, $25 900 has been saved.
In the insurance department the sum SIC, ,722
has been collected in nine months in excess of
what hal Decn collected II twelve months under
the Morrill, administration. These four items
alone make over $55oooo saved and made for
the benefit of the people of the state.
The saving of the people of Kansas by reas-
Oh of the fight made and won by Attorney Cen
raj Boyle against the substitution OF the cents
per hundred pounds rate for the car load rate in
the shipment of live stock can be estimated
only vaguely, but good authority places it at
$500 day.
The hgh. made at Lyons for more equitable
rate on coal, grain and implements, for one
county alone saved the people of that county
100000 Fnis is not guess; it is acknowledge
ed by the aiIroad company's officers and the
people of Lyons.
a fight for fairer rates at Yates Center was
also won.
Much is said about the extravaganza of the
last legislature, but it is fact, easily proven,
that theta legislature appropriated $50, ,77o.1o
less money than the preceding Republican leg
islature, and the expense of the session was
$I4, 200 less than the expenses of the session of
1895. All the facts about the two legislatures
are f)acibly brought ont in the campaign book.
1t makes a showing that will not only dunn
und the opposition, but which will surprise
even the closest friends and supporters of the
Leedy ADMINISTRATION.
