STANLEY.

Mr. Stanley, the Republican nominee for
governor, is a sad disappointment to many nEal
in his party. The prohibition wing at first
thought they had candidate after their
heart, but when he said he was in favor of pro-
hibieion where the people wanted prohibition,
and opposed to the enforcement of the law
where the people are opposed toit, their feathers
dropped However as "Brer' Dougherty, the
Kansas City preacher, has taken up the cudgel
for Stanley, the other prohibitionsts in the
party will swallow him--tail feathers and all.
The resubmisson wing don't know whether to
trust him or not, but, as two Democratic liquor
sellers were in the conyention from Wichita,
working for him, they will vote for him
probably.
Capt. ]. G. Waters (Rep. of Topeka, speak
ing of Stanley, said; "He is friend of the
Nethodists and in love with the saloon-keeper..
He is in political purgatory-in sightof heaven
and in reach of hell.''
Another prominent man says of hiiar ale,
can say Amen and damn it. with equal
smiles and grace. He can teach it fiat OF
ronnd,' just as the school directors want it"
The editor of the Wichita Beacon, who is
Stanleys neighbor, says POLITICALLY, ME-
Stanley is a straddler. He will take no po-
sition before the people on the resubmissiOr
question, but if elected, he will be swayed by
the ruling spirit of his party. What that s;'irir
Is can best be Judged from the treatment given
Iohn Seaton--the only ontspoken resubmsslnn-
ist before the Hutchinson convention"
Iohn Seaton, the Gown and only" resnt,mis-
sion candidate for governor before the convcn-
lion, says:
"My feelings for Stanley are OF the most
friendly character. He is gentleman of abil-
ity and a strong Republican, and trust my
personal Republican friends will Loyalty stand
by the ticket and faithfully assist in his elec-
tion.
lNStanley and are warm friends, and upon
MI defeat at once put on one OF his badges,
and he put one OF my tin buckets on the
lape of his coat. When in the executive office
he will unquestionaby look to me as one of his
counselors regarding the interests of The party"
Some Republicans claim that they nominated
the best one of their candidates. Maybe that's
true, but we admire man who, though he may
be wrong, stands by his convictions. John
Seaton, to our mind, is better man than w.
r. Stanley. He is resubmissionist, and
doesn't 20 behind the bush about it. He is
honest, though wrong.
In fact Stanley will prove mighty heavy
load for the rest of the ticket to carry.

land as he stepped on the platform of the
opera hall TO deliver the third lecture OF
the North Stratford Course. "Snobs and
Snobbery" was the topic, and during the
hour and half occupied in the delivery,
the "slver tongued orator" held the close
attention of his hearers as they followed
his torrent of bright, witty, scathing re-
marks. The Col. is very rapid speaker,
and possessed an intimate acquaintance
with all the representatives of the numer-
Gus family of snobs, and their various
forms of snobbery. The volume of ap.
plause that greeted him as he scored

entered fully into the spirit of the occa-
sion and recognized the types presented.
