Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1897-02-19
MANY THANKS.
KIND WORDS, WHICH ARE APPRECIATED.

the clerkship of the court of appeals by Judge
Schoonover meets with our unqualified endorse
ment and approval. No man in the state of
Kansas has worked harder for the success of
the Peoples party than w. o. Champe. He
is one of the pioneers. He has been ridiculed,
slandered, boycotted, prosecuted for faithfully
advocating what he believed to be for the best
interest of the state. He has never been re-
warded; he never sulked. No man ever ran
for office in Anderson county on the fusion
ticket who did not receive the hearty support
of the ,AGITATOR and its editor
He has never attempted to run conventions
or dictate nominations. To assist his friends
and faithfully and fearlessly advocate the prin-
ciples of reform as he understood them has
been the desire and ambition of his life.
We have been personally acquainted with
Mr.. Champe for many years. He is sober, i'll
dustrious and competent and no Democrat,
Populist or Free-Silver Republican who views
the situation from an unselfsh standpoint can
object to his appointment. 1t is not to Mr..
Champes discredit to say that he is poor; that
he lost his home in an honest endeavor to car

Judge Manford Schoonover did tie proper
thing in naming w. O. Champe editor of the
AGITAToR, clerk of the appellate court. The
Pandealer believes i'll the principle that to
the victor belongs the spols, and Mr.. Chanpe
has earned all the spols he can possibly get
out of the office-Garnett PepublicanP Plain

w. O. Champe, of the AG1TAToR, has been
selected as clerk of the eastern division of the
appellate court by Judge Schoonover. We
congratulate Bro. Champe He richly deserves
it, Another reason glad is because it is
likely all that Anderson county will get out OF
the Populist aggregation. -Garnctt Eagle
(Rep.)
w. O. Champe, of the Garrett AGITATOR,
has received the appointment of clerk OF the
court of appeals, southern department, eastern
division. This is i'll every respect one OF the
very best appointments that could have been
made Mr.. Champe is not only thoroughly
qualified, but is one of the most worthy men
in Kansas. Accept our hcartiest congratula-
tons, Bro. Champe, with the hope that your
DAYS of crackers and cheese, the lot of the
printer, are over; that your future may be
strewn with lots of ham gravy, pumpkin pie,
two kinds of soup and heaps of other hxin's.
