From John j Ingalls, Interview on
Cy. Leland. Jan. 18th. 1893.
Tne election of Stanley to the gov
ernorship means that Cy. Leland and
the above named political parasites
will control his administration and
hold the Offices.
Already the positions of railroad
commissioner. superintendent of fns
surance, warden of the penitentiary
and private secretary have been pledged
to this array of political trimmers. The
voters who are expected to reinstate
this gang of plunderers in power in
Kansas will have no part in the distti
button Of the spoils. The little band of
Leland strikers who have control Of
the republican state central committee
will hold the Offices, no matter what
pledges of peace power the candidates
or their henchmen have made you.
Many far seeing republicans realize
this, and they will take the opportunity
next Tuesday to sit down on the gang
John j. Ingalls, so aptly describes
above.

Two years. and that they are worthy
of your entire confidence and esteem.

winner If the friends Of democracJ-
regenerated and made pure by the
Chicago convention of 1896-all go
to the polls next Tuesday and vote
their sentiments. The enemy has
hope only in the apathy of our forces,
as exhibited in the elections last year,
being continued this fall. Do not let
US have to say that we lost a single
man on our ticket by default. Good
citizenship is shown by going to the
polls and voting. no matter what
ticket you vote. BETTER citizenship
is shown by voting for the men who
have made you good, clean, economi-
ical and trustworthy officers for the
past two years.

"The of horse has lost a shoe from
the right fore foot, " said the coachman,
Is he drew up opposite q wayside black

replaced?'
"By all means" replied the owner
Of the curricle, Senator Aaron Burr Of
New York, cit is always the proper
thing to keep your horses we'll shod,
and, besides, I am only too glad of

full Ulster county hills"
When he returned half an hour later,
he happened to glance at the side of a
barn near the shop and saw with sur
prise an accurate though hurriedly
drawn charcoal picture of his curricle
and horses.
"Who drew that?' he inquired.
"That little frouzy head yonder,"
replied the blacksmith, pointing to a
boy in homespun who was chopping
wood in the dooryard opposite as il his
whole miUd was occupied with his task.
"Halloo, my lad" called Burr, and
when the little fellow looked up with
the air Of one who has been caught in
some misdemeanor he added pleasantly,
"If ever you want to change your occu-
patton and see life, just put clean
shirt in your bundle and go to this ad.
dress in New York." and he crossed
the road to hand the boy slip of paper.
The team was soon on its homeward
way, and in a short time the incident
passed from the crowded mind of Aaron
Burr. Months af.erward, as he sat at
breakfast, servant brought him pack
age containing homemade clean shirt
and said that boy at the door had
asked her to deliver it as an all suffi-
cient introduction. But the senator
could not understand its significance, so
he sent for the boy, whom he at once
recognized as the youthful genius of the
roadside.
With all his faults. Burr was a ge@.
