BrOi' v. ave regarded as hUGeSt, tu.
very small man with very iargeambi
lions and a very mucn inflated est
IUatiOn VI his own value aud impOr.
tance 10 the slate Of Kansas. The
bill named after him, as chairman 81
the committee and Was drawn by
toe committee aud was probably a.
good as any offered In the legislature.
Hbllelt Is not charged that he was
false TO the measure it is bawcver
charged that through bis ambitious
and headstrODg operations he caused
tue defeat Of railroad legislation.
That this was done BY his balkN
manner, refusing 10 cooperate with
Others, gaining the i'll will Of the sen.
ators and getting them all at cross
purposes, hoping to push the bill
bearing his name and profit bv IL a.
Mckinley prodted by the Mckinley
bill.
The evident purpose Of his mani
festo was to injure Simpson, bui
nevertheless his hardest Language
was directed at Senator Harris. Had
he let Hirris alone, he might per-
haps have accomplished a little OF
the desired result. The singular
feature OF the manifesto and the
thing which shows the calibre Of the
man is that he charges that Senator
Harris was elected by the railroads
when it is a matter Of history thai
the first burst Of grandilOqu.nce that
greeted legislative ears last winter
flowed FROM Tile lips Of Brown of Pratt
when he nominated Harris for United
States senator.
The efforts Of these people have ia,
sympathy, cooperation aud suppur,
or every Republican paper iu this
district. Immediately alter the ell
s:G,oI the News. of this city began 10
make charg, aud send out dispatches
that Mr.. Simpson had bolLed The
POpu LIST ticket in his hOme county.
TO prove this the News got letter
from middle-oi-the-rOad PUpuliSt ul
Barber county and then sent II broad.
cast To AL the leading Republican
papers. The SIMPLE facts are tina.
the POpulists 10 Barber county got
into row. The Democrats refused
to endOrse their ticket. Both sides
called IN Simpson for assistance. He
went out over the district and left
them to fight 1t out. Now a lot Of
them are mad and helping Republi
can papers to adorn a tale ab6ut his
boiling the ticket. ". "
Mr.. Simpson Is not perfect aud he
has his failings like other m6rtals,
