The Advocate and news., 1898-05-25

Hart and d. r. Armstrong. Each dele
gate pledged himself for the rGnOmna-
tiOn Of the entire State ticket. The Con-
grCssiOnal delegates are for Simpson.
Charley Sheldon, the new editor Of The
AtChiSOn Champion, was chairman OF the
Republican State convention in 1896. He
was chosen by the Morrill, crowd. He
tried to make a speech Indicating his sur
prise in being elected to the place, but
when he got well up in the clouds he
forgot most of what he had written out
several days before. He Stammered a
little and then said "Well, let it go at
that, what is the next order OF businesS?"
lola Herald CPOp): We are pleased
with the Republican nominee for Con-
grcss from this district. lie Is one Of
the thrifty fellows whose bar'l has never
been tapped. There are so many hungry
patriots in the district who have been
away from the crib so long that they
had begun to despair. But their stall
wart RepubliCanism shines out now like
pawnshOp diamonds. Dig up your sock,
Mr.. BOwersOck.
Hutchinson Democrat: A Democratic
postmaster at Wichita on salary of
$4,000 a year resigned his position to
enter the military service, and two Dem
ocratc County Attorneys in the State
resigned for the same purpose. When
you hear Of a Republican OfllcehOlder
with that much practical patriotism you
can put it down that he is on the stool
Of repentance and goes forth to battle
hoping to forget the narrowing memo
ries Of the past.
MarysVille Advocate and Democrat:
Hon. w. A. Calderhead was unanimously
nominated by delegates Of his own Sc
lection. His defeat at the polls will be
almost equally unanimous. There are
sore spots all over the district that can't
be healed by fall. Even the promise Of
appointment as census enumeratOrs
won't bring all the old boys into line.
Some Of them mean what they say and
will fight Calderhead to finish.
Cottonwood Falls ReVeille (POp): The
Marion Times in labored article en-
deavOrs to justify Leedy's course in re-
gard to the X. N. c., but to us the ar
gument presents precious little weight.
Had the Governor called on the X. N. G..
as organized, and they desired to enlist,
received all that would pass muster, and
organized other companies to make up
any deficiency, he would have received
the plaudits Of the State, while now he
receives and deserves condemnation,
Lyon county POpulists refused to adopt
1 resolution favOring the denomination
Of the present State officers, The dele
gates are uninstructed, but are believed
to be opposed to the denomination of
Governor Leedy only John Madden
heads the State delegation. On his sug-
gestion the Congressional delegation was
not instructed. On being questioned he
admitted that he believed that Chairman
Riddle had entered into a deal with the
Democrats and the Governor to give the
Fourth district to the Democrats.
Up to the present time the Kansas

ginal subscription Of $4,000 by the rail
roads that there is probably $4,000 more
, in sight. He predicts that Kansas will
be creditably represented.

ciples, indOrse the course of POpulist rep
