AcrToN oF KENT DEMoCRArs.

The Democratic County Executive
Committee of Kent county is deter
mined that the political debauchery
which has influenced elections in that
county in yeafs gone by shall not be
permitted to disgrace the elections
which are approaching. 1t has issued
the following circular to registration
officers:
There seems to be a misunderstand-
ing and uncertainty in regard to the
powers and duties of the registrars
under the present law, as to challenges
and the examination OF applicants for
registration. The plain Interpretation
OF the law is that the registrars are TO
examine all applicants for registration
whom they may think, or have reason
20 believe, are for any cause disquali-
fed as voters. For example, II a man
presents himself for registration and
you having reason to think that he has
either furnished or received any assist
ance directly or indirectly, in the pay
ment Of his registration fee, It is not
only your privilege, but your duty to
oath laid down In the election laws
that he has not so violated the law;
and IL is the duty Of the registrar to do
this whether such applicant is chal-
lenged or not
Besides your official duty in this
matter you must remember that It is
the policy OF the Democrats in the
present campaign to uphold the laws
against bribery to the very letter 10
this end / would respectfully suggest
that all active Democratic workers be
challenged to take the oath; II not by
the Republican challenges, then let the
Democrats do it. Do this for consist
ency. Let us put ourselves on record,
without fear or favor. as being on the
side OF fair. honest and free elections,
and make our fight from that stand
point.
DO moi hesitate to do your full duty,
without fear and without hesitancy in
making every person whom you sus-
pect take the oath.
We recommend the above to the
careful perusal OF every man in the
state and congratulate che Kent coun-
tty Democrats on the firm and manly
stand which they have taken. Public
opinion has been so outraged by the
repeated assaults OF political corrup-
tionists upon Delaware manhood, that
it will cheerfully support the present
effort OF the Democratic party to secure
honest elections and to apprehend and
punish all who endeavor to violate the
laws enacted In that behalf.

Mccormick For Congress.

From the Osborne County News.
The Sixth is the only district in the
country which has been continuously
represented by popullst ever since
the movement started. The populisbs
and all friends of silver intend that
the district shall continue to be rep
resented in the proper manner. Mr..
Mccormick has not yet actually be-
gun his canvass, but the people OF the
district have seen enough Of him to
indicate that he is capable of making
winning campaign and that he will
be his own successor. He is a man OF
mature years, being pasthis 50th birth.
day. He has resided in Kansas aud
in Phillips county "a years, q sufli.
Gent length Of time to enable him to
become thoroughly acquainted with
Kansas aud with the wishes and de-
sirss of Kansas people. The early
years OF HE residence in the state
were passed on q Phillips county
homestead. The majority Of the
people of northwest Kansas know
what homesteadIng is and that il is a
good schooling for any man.
While On the farm Mr.. Mccormick
took up the study Of law. He went at
it with that energy and force which is
a marked characteristic Of the man.
In 1890 he allied himself with the
populists and was nominated for coun-
ty attorney. His official career was
80 successful and satisfactory to his
constituents that he was easily re-
elected.
He is q man in whom the Sixth dis
trict voters may place their trust and
Co6dence. During his first term in
congress Mr.. Mccormick has shown
himself to be thoroughly in sympathy
with the cause Of the people. He has
always cast his vote on the right side
OF pending questions. Every free
silver voter in the district can vote for
Mccormick and never regret having
done So He is a true friend to the
old soldiers, regardless Of political
name and 1t is through his able efforts
that so many of the old boys are to-
day receiving government pensions
which had heretofore been long de-
lsyed.
Hurrah for Hon. N. B. Mccormick!
He is going to be reelected by a
rOusing majority. He's a good man,
worthy Of thesupport Of all free silver
voters.

Who the Candidates Are.
From The Advocate and News.
GOVERNOR JOHN W. LEEDY.

Governor Leedy was born in Rich
land county, Ohio, March s, 1S49, on
a farm. He is now 40 years old. His
education was confined to the common
schools, this but did not prevent HIM
from getting thorough training in
the school of experience. In this way
he has acquired fund Of information
a practical way of doing things and
the ability to overcome whatever OBJ
sticles there may be in his way.
He was originally republican. In
1872 he became o democrat and in
1891 no began to affiliate with the
populIsts. lie came to Kansas in 1882
and settled at Leroy, in Coffey county,
which place is still his home. He was
married in 1876 and has three chill
dreD, boy and two girls.
He entered politics IN 1892, rather
unexpectedly to himself and friends.
The senatorial convention for the
Ooffey Franklin district nominated
him for senator. Franklin delegates,
who were in the m9jorlty, we're in.
structed for W, e. Kibbe, but few
violated their instructions and voted
with the Coffey delegates for Govern
or Leedy. He made vigorous cam
paign and won. In the senate he
soon became prominent as a fighter
for railroad Legislation and as a good
man to avoid in legislative Gght.
He carried his railroad fight before
the railroad commissioners, where he
was active in securing the adoption of
a schedule Of rates for the purpose
Of testing the boards power and Sc
curing such relief as it might be pos
sible to obtain in that way.
At the Abilene state convention his
name was considered for governor.
Senator Harris, Senator King and
ex Governor Lswelling each had a
more formidable following, but his
friends kept up the fight for him in
judiclous but persistent way. When
the break came he won. He was
elected and his record as governor is
we'll known to the people. His party
has now renominated him and will
make every effort to continue him in
Office in order that the good work for
Kansas people, which he has so ably
conducted, may be continued.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR A NJ HARVEY.
The populist nominee for lieutenant
governor is the youngest man on the
ticket, and one of the brightest men
in the state, In recent issue his
life was httlngly referred to and a
REPETITION of that matteris unnecessary,
He has demonstrated the fact while
hs don't know all there is to be known,
be is cabable af learning. His work
as lieutenant governor surprised his
best friends and he is now taking
hold of military matters in the same
earnest way, aud if he does not be-
come a model officer it will be no fault
Of hig. His nomination at this time
il decided compliment. He was at
the front attending to bis duties.
None Of his friends believed it adNis-
aole to press his claims, believing it
best to give his place to one Of the
