EVERY republican paper and stump
speaker in the state has deserted state
issues. All they can talk about is Nc
Kinley. We do not believe that Nc
kinley is a God nor do we believe that
he is entitled to all the praise our re-
publican friends are trying to heap I'D.
on him, but we are certain that there
are many public matters that interest
the people of Kansas vastly more this
year than McKinleyism. Mckinley is
president and any amount of agitation
cannot remove him until 1900. What
the people want to know is what the
republicans are going to do for the tax
payers of Kansas. Whether they are
in favor of sustaining the many good
measures enacted and enforced by the
Populist administration or whether
they are in favor of repeating them:
whether they are in favor of economy
IN state affairs or whether they are in
favor of extravaganza. Quit bowling
down to the Golden Idol at Washington
and let us know where you stand on
state issues, gentlemen.

A DIRTY ATTACK.

The Kansas City Times Of October
contains an attack on Judge G. W. Nc
Kay which excels anything for politl
cal treachery and indecency that ha.
been sprung by any paper in this cam.
paign.
The Times article 10 which we have
reference accuses Judge Mckay Of bav.
ing resorted to trickery to secure the
endorsement ian account of which ts
given elsewhere) and goes on to say
that he has frequently gwen democrats
to understand that he does not desire
their support, all Of which is unquali.
fedly false. The writer has Judge Nc
kay's own word for it as we'll as the
word of those who effected his nomina.
ton, that he had nothing to do with il
and had no knowledge of it at the time
it was done. More than this, we, az
well as many other Populists in the dis
trict, know that he knew nothing con.
corning 1t. The INDEX is free to state
that the democrats nominated Judge
McKay~in good faith and, while the
convention was not large, the nomina.
ton was regular and of right ought
to be held valid. But whether 1t is or
not, it is the height Of depravity for
any person to accuse Judge Mckay of
"resofting to trickery," because he
knew nothing of what the democratic
committee or convention did.
The facts in the case are that M. A.
Hull, of Kiowa, democratic judicial
committeeman from this county, and
the committeeman Of Pratt and King
man counties called a convention at
Kingman on Sept. 23rd and nominated
Mckay as their candidate for Judge.
a few gold standard democrats and
sour populists Of Harper county, aided
by the republican politicians of this dis
trict, filed protest in the secretary of
states Office on Sept. 10Th. Hence we
assert that the Times article is false
anu misleading In saying that the dem
ocrats of the district are indignant"
over the nomination. The democrats
were not indignant; they were satisfied.
But Gillett, Noble, Bodley, Trimble
and the corporations doing business in
the district, were indignant and they
are the ones who howled. Only TWEEN
ty-one men in the district signed the
protest" although every democrat and
everybody who ever was democrat, in
the district, was asked for his sigma
ture.
This matter has created considerable
commotion but in the end it will prove
a boomerang to those from whom it has
Its origin. MIR. Mckay is the kind of a
judge people need, and such attacks
as appeared In the Times and such false
accusations as are made by unprinci-
pied politicians will only strengthen
him.

Kinley, Hanna and Gage are all opposed to bimetal

HE is OFFICIALLY DEAD.
John ID. Cotner Claims to Have Been a
Soldier.

In this day when so many Of the old
soldiers are dying off it would seem mat
ter for felicitation to hear now and then
of some one of them coming back again
to life. Several instances of this kind have
recently come to the attention of the
adjutant general of the State. Not long ago
a man came into the generals Office and
declared himself to be alive and that the
records of the Office showing that he was
drowned were altogether misleading. He
has not been able to further establish his
identity for lack of witnesses of his not
being drowned.
Another case Of a similar kind is presented
by a letter received yesterday from John b.
Cotner of Lincoln. Neb. Mr.. Cotner AYERS
in an affidavit that he served under the
name Of Thomas Cotner in Company Il, of
the Eighty-frst Indiana, and he desired by
return mail a certificate of service. But
the adjutant general was unable to comply
with this simple request and that Tor the
good reason that Mr.. Thomas Cotner, Of
Company Z, of the Eighty-first Indiana. is
credited on the war records with having
died in the army hospital at Nashville on
Feb. IL. 1863. In addition to having changed
his first name Mr.. Cotner, of Nebraska, is
also embarrassed by the loss of his dis
charge papers. and by the further fact that
he has been dead in the eyes of the gov
duction of witnesses, which are hard to OBJ
tain after thirty-five years. he will have
unusual difficulty in establishing his exist
ence as live veteran.

THE NEW Committeeman
LARGE AND HARMONIOUS REPUBLIC
AN PRIMARIES LAST NIGHT.
Only Few Contests I'm the County
day-ThrOughout the state.

Those who croaked about this being an
off year for Republicans must have changed
their minds after witnessing the interest
and enthusiasm among the Republicans
who attended the precinct primaries in the
city and county yesterday afternoon and
evening, when precinct committeeman were
elected The attendance was unusually
large The meetings were marked by har-
mony and good humor prevailed. But few
contests have been announced The inter
est manifested last night went to show that
the Republicans were interested in forming
a county committee that would do such eff
fective work as to defeat the Democrats
who hope to get into Office next fall. There
was a steady downpour of rain all even
ing, but it could not dampen Republican
ardor.
Pursuant to the call the new committee
will meet next Saturday afternoon at 2
O'Clock for the purpose Of completing the
organization. A chairman and vice chair
man are to be elected and provision made
for the selection of a secretary and treas
in the Criminal Court room. Announce
ment of the place of holding the meeting
will be made later. A contest committee
will be appointed to hear the contesting
committeeman Notice of the time and
place of their meeting will be announced
later in the week
far as reported to the Journal, were as
follows:
