Emporia Gazette: Major Calvin Hood
left today for Colorado Sprins. He liter
ally is running away from business. For
two weeks he has been more or less sick
being confined to his home. But every
day that he would poke his nose out Of
his bed room, his parlor has been full
of people who want to talk business to
him. He left today in self-defense. Every
once in awhile it comes over him with
a hot fash what pretty pickle he would
be in If, in addition to his business, he
had a gubernator!al nomination TO attend
10 and lot Of politicians to take care
of. At such times he is glad fate took
the nomination from him. To a reporter
for the Gazette at the depot platform.
the major said: Before 1 leave, l want
you to say that 1 am mighty glad Mr..
Stanley got the nomination. We need
good campaigner and a man who has the
ability to get out and get votes, and
Stanley is the best man for the purpose
who came before the convention. He will
be elected by 10000 majority. Everything
is with the Republicans this year. Provi-
dence sent timely Republican rains and
the state has more money per capita
to quote a Populist phrase-than any
other western state. Never before in the
history of Kansas have there been so ma
ny capitalists with money to loan-their
own money, the result of their own saw
ings and earnings. These men will invest
it carefully, and more than that, they
will not listen to orators who talk about
depreciating their investments by tinker
ing with the currency. There is not one
single unfavorable condition in Kansas
this year to the election of Mr.. Stanley
and the state and congressional ticket

Emporia Gazette: 1t was a great sur
prise to the Populist convention of Reno
county when Congressman Simpson said:
This is our war. The Democrats and
POpulists forced the Republicans into 1t"
The war had been going on for three
months and they never heard of this be-
fore. But they had probably read his
speech printed in the Congressional Rec
ord, Fifty-ffth congress, January 20
1925 in which Simpson said:
Now, if we should recognize the BEL
ligerency of Cuba, and should become in
volved in a war with Spain, we would
not only have the expense and the hor-
rors of war but at the same time we would
admit to citizenship and 10 naturalization
the inhabitants of Cuba and thereby gain
a very large number OF undesirable citi-
Zens."
1t would seem that Mr.. Simpson would
have to get quit claim deed from the
facts before he can read his title clear
to absolute possession and ownership of
the late war.

perusal, and shows an interest mani
tested toward Territory people by a
body of progressive men whose in
fluence is bound to be felt. The let

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 2, 1898.
Mr.. 8. T. Bledsoe, Ardmore, 1. 7.
Dear Sir-I have been absent from

Kansas City to Port Arthur, Texas.
My business associates here have
honored me this year by electing me

Rressive business and professional

Cadiz has just returned to

booked to sail on her, and that
she will be armed and used as

There has been rain in most see

New York. Feb. 5.-The big buy
ing that started in yesterday was
continued today and shoats bought
freely, being thoroughly scared. An
other prominent feature was the
large commission buying, and it
seems likely that this buying will be
continued next week. Wall street
expects a buoyant market next week
and it looks as if these speculations
might be realized. We hear that the
c., e. s Q. at last concluded a deal

so as to retire like amount of bonds
bearing six and seven per cent
General electric came forward as
one of the features today, and the
large increase in all uses for electric
ity has greatly increased its earn
ings. Northwest statement for 1897
shows nearly 10 per cent earned on
common stock. The only thing that
is really in any way in favor of the
bears is rate cutting If this were
not the case, earnings of the grang-
ers would be simply fabulous.

The Daily Trade Bulletin estimates
SO per cent of the '97 crop or 176
million bushel farm reserves Janu-
ary 1st, and that the northwest crop
was probably 20 million more than
government estimate. People from
the southwest, especially the Pan
handle district and Oklahoma, state
| liberal amount of wheat still there to
go forward. Tone of foreign mar
kets we think better, and cash atti-
tude after clearing out of speculative
holdings the past week we think in
dicates greater premium even than
the present one Of May over deferred
futures. This looks very senseless
but we believe Is probable, as ap-
proach of spring will cause a bearish
feeling in latitudes where the season
is more forward; but we think the
cash and nearby situation is stronger
today than for the past two days and
anticipate it will assist itself in spec
ulative options next week.
