them to come in. Another case Of where
determination has won the fight.
Kansas City Tribune (Rep.): We trust
nobody will insist that the election OF
Hanna was vindicatiOn Of anybody or
anything Republican.
: Eureka Union (POp.): Since no pOlit-
Ical parry in history has ever grown
purer as 1t has grown older, 1t becomes
every honest man to strive to keep his
party under control OF its best members.
Medicine Lodge Index (Pop.): Gov
erhOr Leedy has more backbone than
any other Governor the State has ever
had. In fact, the whole administration
T, Is a creditable one, and 1t will be re-
elected. ~
Troy Times (Pop): Kansas is lucky
in driving out a lot Of old, blood-sucker
Insurance companies. II Kansas will
now encourage State Insurance, 1t will
take an advanced step, and continue as
the leader Of States.
Scott City News-Lever (Pop.): We
see nothing wrong in the Populist party
uniting with all other silver and reform
parties for the purpose Of mopping this
part of the earth with the foreign sym
pathiSing gold-bug aristocracy.
Cottonwood Falls Reveille (Pop): We
are glad to notice that Secretary Bush
intends to compel corporations to make
their reports as provided by law. This
is one law in particular that Republican
Secretaries have been careless about en-
forcing.
Hutchinson News (Rep.): The lola
Register thinks that the nominee for
Governor should be able to make
speech. Don't know about that. 1t
might be better to paddock the candi-
dates mouth and lose the key until
after the election.
Abilene Reflector (Rep); The pitlful
strained effort Of ingalls, to get back into
RotOrlety Is truly pathetic. The old man
has been a sham all his life, and he
knows that the world knows 1t. The
desperation Of his recent utterances Is
simply the mark Of failure.
Hutchinson Interior-Herald (Rep):
II is sad commentary on the public
schools of this State when the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction

Clay Center Times (Rep): If 1t were
n possible to turn Kansas into one grand
aggregate precinct on the Crawford
county plan Of nominating, f. D. CO.

Lawrence World (Rep.): That oil in
NJ spectIon business has always been the
y source OF more fraud than all other
~ branches OF government put together.
II The Republican incumbent left without
gettling up his affairs and will now have
70 do 30. There ought to be some way
" OF regulating that Office. 1t has been
n q scandal from the beginning.
% Emporia Republican, superintendent
" Stryker has hit upon q scheme that
# strikes us very favorably. 1t Is to es-
'Hg tAblish night schools for children over

/. Hutchinson Interior-Herald (Rep.)
" rhe grand old Republican party Of the
, grand State of Kansas, is now making
sthe grandest struggle of its existence.
V lrhe struggle is not to reorganlze for a
,AYictoTy over Popism, demism, Bryan
'IISign, lunacy. and diabollsm, but for pie

'A3he divided into two Federal Judicial
listricts so Sam can have place.

NON sober second thought it is proba-
'A'ble the decision. to call the Populist
'Des5tate convention in June will be recon-
