Joe Fugate, the Democrat who has
been nominated by the Populists and
Democrats Of Harvey county, declared in
his speech of acceptance that he IA
Vored the initiative and referendum and
proportional representation. He praised
the State administration and eulogized
Jerry Simpson.
Judge II. G. Webb, of Parsons, one oil
the recent Republican converts about
whom so much Is being said by the
leaders and newspapers of that party
is a relative of candidate Stanley. II
would certainly be dlscredtable to Mr.
Stanley if he could not get the support
Of his own family.
John Sherman would not get along
very well among Kansas Republican
politicians. His friends tell stories of
him starting out on long campaign
tour with four-Ounce bottle of whisky
and regarding it as an ample supply.
A teaspOonful after a speech was con-
sidered all that was necessary.
In the Saline county Republican con-
Vention Harman Berg, an old soldier
with an honorable record, was turned
down by the ring for the nomination
for District Clerk. The work was so
coarse that he and his friends could not
help but see how it was done, and he
served notice that ne would not support
the ticket.
Judge" Worley, of Osawatomie, has
seen the error Of his way and gone back
to the Republicans. This action is very
natural to him, as he has been twice a
Republican, twice Democrat and twice
a POpulist in fifteen years. No one in
Miami county would have him change
his mind again unless it would be the
Republicans.
A colOred preacher who is being billed
by Republican speakers as Rev. w. L.
Grant, is telling his people that he made
Leedy recognize the cOlored people in
the organization of troops This man
Grant has more nerve than anybody else
in Kansas or he wouldn't be asserting
that he or anybody else ever made Gov
ernOr Leedy do anything.
George w. Veale, Of Topeka, is trying
to prove to his friends that he is not
sore over his defeat for the nomination
for Representative, by stating that the
Republican State ticket will get 10000
majority. Veale must have been asso-
ciating with Dan Dyer, who used to
sOlemnly assure the faithful that Abe
Ellis would be elected by $4,000.
Two Marion county brothers vOlun-
teered for the war. Both were appar-
emily perfect physical specimens, but
one was found to have a disabled toe
which turned down and got sore when
he walked much. He was rejected and
sent home. He has since died of ty-
phOid fever, while his brother is in the
service and is in fine condition.

w. e. Tarbox, editor of the I'm
muzzled Truth at Syracuse, is the cOun-
ty chairman whose letter from the Re-
publican State central committee was
published in the Syracuse Journal and
later in, these columns. Although his
paper processes to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth,
1t was necessary for the Journal to help
1t unmuzzle big COB of truth relative
to Republican hypocricy.
