The kioWa Review observes that the
Anthony Bulletin is worth its weight in
gold and that mechanically it is the
| best in the State. The Bulletin mOdestly
replies that but few of the good papers
in Kansas are on the Reviews exchange
list and that his acquaintance with
good printers Is limited
]. T. Hanna, the Citizens candidate
for Clerk in Finney county, and S. G.
Hanna, Populist candidate for Treasu-
rer in Elk county, were both defeated.
The people evidently don't want to eX-
tend their relations with the Hanna fam
lily, even though it may have some men
in it who are interested in the peoples
welfare.
The banner Republican county of Kan
sas ought to be so managed that there
are funds enough in the treasury to put
the court house grounds at Topeka in

Kansas City Tribune (Rep): We
would like to believe that those Ohio Re-
publcans who are really anti-Hanna had
as much backbone as the Kentucky Re-
publiCans who refused to elect Hunter,
but we haven't. Hanna will probably
