a few fences in the Sixth district with
designs upon the republican congress
sional nomination. The early bird is
said to get the worm and when this
time-tried law of disposition is backed
up by the fact that try, try again is a
virtue in politics ambitions Abram is
inclined to believe that the the third

however, is camping close to Ellis trail.
DR.. Frank Smith, Sherman county's
able representative in the state legisla-
ture, has been put in charge of the
Little boom for United States senator,
and under his management the boom
has grown perceptibly. MIR. Little was
formerly a republican and won distinc-
ton and hOnOrs from that party by his
brilliance and devotion to the principles
which it at that time chsmpioned. The
party at St. Louis laid down the honest
tenets that had made it great and de-
clared for policy foreign to the best
interests of the American people. Mr..
Little, with thousands of others, put
principle above party and cast mis- lot
with the populists. When the state
convention of the peoples party met
at Abilene last summer, Mr.. Little's
name was brought up for congressman
at-large, and while he was defeated, the
vote given him proved that he had gain
ed many friends among the members of
that organization. The valuable ser
vices he rendered in the late campaign
has led to him being favorably men,
for the senatorship, and should he be
so honored Kansas would have a sena-
tor of which it could indeed be proud.

z Convert TO Bryan.

The opposition to Bryan sought 10
make great deal out of the selection
Of Bailey, OF Texas, as leader Of the
Democratic minority in congress. It
vas claimed that Bailey was opposed
to Bryan, aud the promotion of Bailey
as leader of the Democratic party in
congress was pronounced defeat for
Bryan. Though it is true that Bryan
was not in the race, and therefore
Bailey S election or defeat could rot
fairly be called 3 triumph Or defeat
for Bryan, nevertheless much was
made OF it by the antiBryan press.
In the light Of that fsc. the interview
which Mr., Bailey has given to the
press after his return from the CON.
gressional fight in Missouri has more
than ordinary interest Eere is what
Mr.. Bailey SAYS about Nj Bryan,
now:
"Mr. B17an is identified with the
Chicago platform aud With the Issues
of 1895, indissolubly. n, man can so
fully represent that platform ia 1900
as the candidate o toe Chicago con
ventlon Of last Jaly. IN ny iuds
ment his ren0minstlon is fcreeone
conclusion. Mr. Bryan is better
Democrat now lhan he wss when he
vas nominated. differ from him in
many ot his earlier opinions and con-
victions, but since his noQinstion be
has kept himself 10 everything he has
said and done strictly WITHIN the llmita-
:jnns Of the Chicago platform, and
that platform is good erCu,h for me
OF any other Democrat II stand on.
Vixen Mr. Bryan first eGteTed con-
eresS SIX years ago ae was tariff spec
iai!st, his studies having been conhn-
ed largely to economic questions.
Since taen he has brcadenso out i'm
mensely, AID | know Of no man who
more fully represents the popular
idea OF pure Democracy than he does.
He is & true American, patriot, and
naa whom the Democr4ts of the
country feel that they can rust. Yes,
Bryan viii be the nominee, the plat
form will be re-adopted, and the people
will win. ;"
1t is very clear f@on TIE foregoing
thatif Mr.. Bailey hei any real d fl =r
ence with Mr.. Bryan he has found
tney are not popular, and he has
changed his mind Of course it is
more pleasing to our personal vanity
to say thai the o.her fellow has bread
ened than to admit that We have, and
if Mr.. Bsiley prefers to make 1t ap-
pear that the mountain hss come to
Mahomet, why it Isl pleasing deluslon
that can do no harm. The only point
worth making is that if any diferenc-
es ever existed between these two
brainy young Democrats, they no
longer exist, and Democrats are get
ing ready TO present solid front
when the next fight comes.

Coming South.

The Chicago News says the latest
colonization enterprise was organized
in Madison county, Ind, and some
fifty families from there will 60 to
Southern Alabama this fall. The
members of the company are well to.
do and fairly prosperous, as farmers
in this section invariably are. There
is little doubt but that the extension
of transportation facilities in this
country has considerably modified
Northern agricultural pursuits. Now
the people of Northern cities are sup
piled with vegetables and fruits of all
kinda from Southern points, and by
the time the Northern farmer has an
opportunity to put his own products
on the market the demand for them
has passed and the earlier grown PRO
ducts from the South meet the de
mands, so that the Southern producer
is always a little ahead OF the North
erner at his own door. This has prsc.
tically destroyed all lighter branches
of agricultural industry at the North
and increased the heavier, more bur.
Gensome and less remuneratiyes sort.
