sHoT7D COME oFrENER

One day last week an overgrown lanky
boy from some where out on the edge OF
the sunset wandered into the city and
spent part OF the day wondering how peo-
pie ever found their way around 50 large
A city as this. It was his first visit 20
town and he had so much 70 learn. Among
other novel experiences he boarded north
Topeka car 10 go somewhere. Al Th.r-
teenth street he started 10 climb of with

dog o. the company's assets summary
jumped upon him and demanded his ulckle.
With a look of infinite perp.sxity he re-
piled that he had no change smaller than
a quarter. but would gladly pay y some
one could change 1t for him The motor

was there for and gave him the change.
With a look OF relief out OF 81 razzi.ng

BOTTOM OF THE BOX.

There is no use at all in denying that
things looked blue for the Republicans
as the evening wore on. The count in the
city was very, very slow. Occasionally
a man would break from a booth, seize
a telephone and give an incomplete
count, in many instances as follows:
Second of the Fifth, vote cast 225 One
hundred votes counted Leedy "a. Stan
ley 4s.''
This percolated around to the Populist
headquarters and was greeted with a
savage yell Of insoient delight The Re-
pubiicans in different places lit cigars
anew and looked at thosa figures with
squint eyes. The figures looked bad. The
prospect looked bad. The whole thing
looked bad. The precinct was incom-
pIete of course, and no comparisons
could be made with the returns of two
years previous. Everybody wanted 70
glance at the figures. One man said that
the fight had not been made right. Anoth-
CT REPUBLICAN, scratched his head and said
that he knew all along just what had
happened. Another said that he was not
surprised in the least And then another
The Republicans today voted first"
The crowd turned TO him mutely, ap-
peaIing silently for some sign of hope.
'+Of course Leedy IS running with
Stanley now he said. The Republicans
voted early this morning. The judges are
counting the vote cast last first, and Of
course Leedy is running with Stanley.
Wait TIL you reach the bottom of the
box
That's right" spoke up a disconsoiate
''The Republicans voted first in my pre-
cinct."
Sure" said another. why my pre-
cinct was crowded at eight O'Clock. and
there were nothing but Republicans
there"
But maybe suggested a desperate
case, maybe the Judges have dumped
the votes all out and are counting EN- up
side down"
Never cried the encourag ed crowd.
''Wait for the bottom OF the box
And so until midnight in what appeared
to be wreck the Republicans held to this
straw with valor-the bottom of the box
it was to do wonders.
II didn't. In most cases the judges
took out all the ballots. laid the straight
ballots in one pile and the scratched ones
in another. before anything was counted.
The fact that Leedy and Stanley ran to-
gether at first was a mere happen-so.

70 say that outside Of the few bales OF
common sense which he was using in his
business, there was very little of that COM
modify on the market.
One day last week a young man walked
into a drug store on the avenue and ask
ed for five cent Manila stamp. The
obliging clerk handed him a United States
five cent stamp. The buyer with a con-
descending and patronizing look OF com
miseration and pity for the clerks ignor-
aace. remarked that as he wanted 10 send
a letter to a soldier friend at Manila he
oS course wanted a Philippine stamp. il
took three quarters of an hour OF hard
work to explain TO the befuddled cores
pondent that letter leaving this realm
for any spot on earth would take postage
Of this government. and that drug stores
would have a nice collection on hand II
they were obliged 10 keep in stock stamps
of all the countries on earth Nsverthe-
less the erudite youth with an impsrious
air left the store without taking the stamps
of Uncle Sam and probably went 10 con-
suit a lawyer for legal advice on the knot
~ problem.

UGLY TELEGRAMS

Along about half past ten the nervous
Republicans attention was for the mo-
ment taken away from Wichita by two
kilograms. One was from Leavenworth.
announcing that Leedy was falling be-
hind Bryan's vote in 1886.
Failing behind Bryant exclaimed a
Republican indignantly. "WeH that is
fine" And there was a general snort OF
disgust from the crowd. All Of them for
got or never knew that Bryan in the
Missouri river towns did not run heavy.
What they wanted TO hear was that
Leedy was running completely and abso-
lutely behind every previous record.
Then came a dispatch from Atchison say
ing that Stanley would fall off from Nor
rilFs vote 600 in the county. This was
the landslide they had been talking about
Well! One man got up, put on his coat.
and went home. he had enough. The
crowd had forgotten or never knew that
Morrill, two years previous had run humid
reds ahead of his ticket in AtchLson
county.
Somebody suggested that Stanley be
seen about these kilograms, and an ennis
sary was sent forth to Stanleys office
Presently he returned and announced
that Stanley expected to lose up there
even more heavily.
This relieved the crowd momentarily.
But a second later a telegram came in
with the tremendous piece of informa ton
that Ashland. Clark county, had given
Leedy an increased majority of 9. Now
it has never been explained why Ashland
did this. But it did. and 1t was a par
alyzer. Nine wasn't much, but it indi-
Gated that Leedy was not only gaining
in Atchison and Leavenworth. but in
smaller and remote towns. Another Re
publican got up and put on his coat. He
went home. He also had had enough.
Just then a telegram came IN from
Burton, Kansas. 1t showed a majority
for Leedy. No one knew how Burton
figured two years ago, but it was gener-
ally acknowledged that Leedy must have
gain. Some one very sagaciously OBJ
served that Burton was a railroad town
and the vote showed that the railroad
men were for Ieedy "as suspected all
along" And another Republican got up
and put on his coat and went away sadly.
just then a cheer came family from
the opposition headquarters. and the re-
naming Republicans looked tragically at
one another. OF the cheer in another
place.

THE USE OF FIGURES.

Almost everybody in Wichita last Tues
day night was around with figures.
There were enough figures scrubbed OF
in ten hours 10 complete dozen ari;h-
melics.
The Republicans for the most part were
claiming the county by 60 and the
Popuiisis were claiming i, for Leedy by
90. with a vague hope and almost belief
that II would go higher. The Repuoli-
cans. understanding they had a majority
10 overcome OF 500 for Leedy. looked up
on all gains as extremely measer. while
the Populists regarded every gain as =
fatal stab 20 their fortified position
The Republicans in order TO gain their
claim OF 800 were claiming the city BY
100 for Stanley and putting Leedy's ma
jority in the country at 400. The Popu-
lists. 70 make their claim good. were fig
uring that Stanley would get only go in
the city and Ieedy would come in with
100 majority from the country. As the
wards began 90 come in. the Stanley ma
jorities looked as mountains 10 the Pop
ulists and as mole hfils 10 the Repub-
licans. The Populists who had figured
on Stanley having 30 in the city. upon
seeing him approach so. at once claimed
that I.eedy would come IN from the coun-
try with 90 majority. clfnEing hungriiy 10
their original majority. The Republicans
on the other hand. finding Stanley's ma
jority In the city dropping from 100 20 SO
at once concluded that I.eedy couldn't
possibly come into the city with more
than 20 majority. So mems parJisanship
runs away with arithmetic. But by >
O'Clock in the morning the result in the
city was known and in nine townships
the returns were complete. In the Eagle
Office a peculiar thing happened The
first report gave the city 20 Stanley by
50a. The nine townships in gave Leedy
166 majority. There are = precincts in
the county. Some one multiplied lss by
3 and got ass and subtracted ass from
30 and announced that Stanley would
have 81 majority in the county.
Some one yelled derisively; Make ~
twenty-one and a half" But Stanley did
get q majority in the county. not how
ever with the figures given above.

TOOK EIGHT HORSES.

, On Tuesday night Mr.. Stanley received
the election returns in his Office. He and
Mrs. Stanley had invited in a number OF
old friends 10 learn the result. Eight OF
the party lived in the suburbs and had
driven in and hitched their horses in
front of the.office. About O'Clock one Of
party started home and went down stairs
10 get his horse and buggy. None was
there. A policeman had taken all OF the
rigs to a stable. where the parties had to
pay for having their animals taken care of.

RET HIS MINISTER'S

There were all kinds OF bets made on the
result Of the gu5ernatorial contest in this
city. just prior 10 the election. Mr. Jones
and Mr.. Hammond. however. made the
funniest so far as heard from. They
both reside OF the north side and each
was an ardent supporter OF his particular
candidate. They tainted each other every
day. They put majorities. They argued
Both OF the gentlemen wears a full beard
At last one proposed that the one whose
candidate was defeated should have his
whiskers shaved of. Il was 50 agreed.
The result was known on Wednesday and
Mr.. Jones was compelled 10 go and have
his hirsute appendages amputated. Il
looked Ike a bare face, clean skin.

HERE IS \ SCHEME.

To the Editor OF the Eagle:
Dear Sir-Now that the elections are
over We all accept the verdict, ana are
glad that one of our beloved citizens Is
the Sovernor-eIect OF this great state.
And all are equally DESTROYS 10 see ms

Among some measures which tinnk
would promote the growth Of Kansas, our
state should re suitably represented Al

sands OF good men who are now citizens

For the same reason. 3 liberal sppro7ri-

A BRUTAL CONCESSION

II was about eleven O'Clock when the
opposition broke into cheer. Governor
Lewelling had autographed that Leedy
was gaining tremendously in the cities.
Immediately following this came an As
ISOLATED Press dispatch from Topeka an
nouncing that the chairman Of the Pop
ulist state central committee claimed
Leedy's election by 1000; that the chair
man Of the Republican state central COM
mittee claimed Stanley's election by 400.
That was a thirteen-inch shell. The

came in and said: Why don't you get
any news here? Why. they're getting
stacks of news over there in the Pop
headquarters
And every Republican IN MS heart
knew that election night the losing side
gets no news.
Now, what was the cause OF that 400
telegram? B. 3. Cushman, who was at
Republican headquarters in Topeka tells
why. They had prepared their tally
sheets when the adverse news came in.
The opposition headquarters just across
an alley punctured the night with screams
Of triumph. The reporters and spectators
fed from the Republican headquarters TO
the Populist fort. Things were not in a
panic. but it looked extremely dubious
and dismal. Frank Brown. secretary. in

THIRD OF THE SECOND

Last Tuesday was not a brilliant day
etmospherically. The day was dirty
gray with a high wind, dolefully swinging.
singing signs and smoke scurrying of at
flght-angles to chimneys.
There had been fluctuations in Rumor-
dorn from morning. the report starting
early in the morning that a very heavy
vote was being polled. and ciimaxing in
the claim that at 10 a. m. the high per
cent Of 90 Of the registered vote had been
cast. But az O'Clock in the afternoon
the startled cry went out and abroad with
the wind that the vote was not out.
which to Republicans in a Republican
stronghold IS always discourag ing.
But whatever the truth, it was too late
TO mend The die was cast and the in
exorable booths closed. Somebody was
-'busted."
The first two hours following the clos
ing of the polls is something appalling 10
the partisan. Nothing absolutely can be
determined and the wait is for a SEN
tence. It is az this moment of strain that
gamblers go wild and hedge. one with
the other, until az last they have no more
Waged money than did st. Peter and St.
Paul. Innumerable politicians were in
this interim of suspense around tables
ermed with election tables Of two years
previous. ready to pounce down upon the
first precinct reported and compare it 70
determine the percentage OF gain or loss.
Eight o'clock had arrived. The talk was
stiu OF the vote cast, 4, 135 in fact out Of
$50 registered in Wichita when a man
$50 egistered in Wichita. when a man
came down with an equally terrifying
and joyful piece of intelligence. He had
stood IN the booth in the Third precinct
OF the Second ward and had watched the
first 6s votes counted and the vote on
governor was q tie. Leedy and Stanley
running together IN WichftaI ImpossibleI
But i, was true, and with the fleetness Of
truth Il spread. terrorizing the Stanley
partiSans and initiating the Leedy men to
apopleXy. And through the night that
first single rumor survived. a plank for
sinking sirits, an obstruction to reviv-
ing hopes. For long after that precinct
was completely counted the Leedy man
would encourage himself BY remarking:
The Third of the Second is a tie!
Think OF TT A tie!''
Aud the despairins Republican would
grumble:
1T don't look right. Have you heard
from the Third OF the Second?"
As matter OF fact, the precinct gave
Stanley a handsome majority.
