HE ASKS A FEW QUESTIONS.
Last week, the Ola,he Tribune contained tn
following communication from farmer:

En- Tpuuxr. 7 am n moor ignorant old clodhopper who
knows but little ab,s the common everyday affairs
world and nothing about politics. and so wish to ask
ev usstions In tbe first nace should like to ask why
Il s ha, since the v;st of Chefof Police Ouares of Kar-
sas civ down into Johnson county and ivng visit of
Dude lie Ford Mr. Peters funky) that number of
people who were formerly opposed the nomination of
Congressman NJ s Peters uncompromsng Peters
men, Esnecialv this the case with several members

capitol Have they been seen? Has the distribution Of
n few packages of garen-seeds bv Mr. Peters, and
ELEMENTARY Subscription to the Kansas City Times
prominent iusonsts of this county them uncompro
ns;nulv Tor MIR Peters, If So Popust votes can be pu
chased great deal cheaper than we had supposed and
is a sad commentary the future welfare of party.
NJ Peters most excellent gentleman but the question
of his reecction is a doubtful one Mr. Peters needs
vindicaton of his official actshs record is clean and hon
orabe and is heartily endorsed by all But the question
now is he the strongest candidate uphold the Peoples
banner the approaching contest? We doubt it, He is
very campaigncr He secured the nomination before
NOT because of his ability or fitness but solely because
was shown that account of facona fight among the
Republicans of Wandote county (Mr Peters home) Mr.
Peters could get large Republican in Wyandote
county and that county held the key the congressional
situation The Republican actional fight of years ago
Wyandotte county has been entirely obterated in the
gressonal campaign this fall bv the nomination of
outside of either Buchan Trickct factions and
conceded bv the Popuist and fusion forces of Wyandote
county that Republican candidate will get the solid Re
pubcanl vote of Wvandotte county this fall On inquiry,
we find that Mr. Peters is popular with either the
Popusts Democrats Silver Republicans this tall as he
loyalty to the Peoples cause but more on account OF ms
Mg c S t his own and is extremev
doubtful whether he will be able to secure delegation from
Of pocans for which Wyandottc county is noted he Sc
cures delegation there VIII DC tonesng dcega.,%m SEM
OF Mr. Peters Douglas county said to be opposed
t e and y are od nt Miami county would prefer st
John to Peters And there is an apathy or cthargy aong
ssconcerning the nomination of Mr. that does

it extremely doubtful whether Mr. Peters can be reeeet
we should have have more abc aggressive campagncr and
there no question but what sch campagnsr woud
viii Mr. Peters strengthen the county tickets We fear
not Inc writer mas NOT 'G n ;nd atnyr s;rn in

Now lust few words in closing and am done We
have citizen OF our county whose nomination wGua ah
would make such campaign before in

believe he poll more votes than any man yet named tor
mate the best most available candidate This idea of
