POP INSINCFRITY.

If the Pops but knew what they are
talking about they would prove a good
deal more entertaining. AS it is, 1t be-
comes difficult to determine whether
they are running a gag or merely max
ing a noise TO hear themselves. This
is true of them always, whether con-
gregated over on the street corner or
assembled in convention. Take the
platform adopted by them in Topeka
day before yesterday, and can any man
outside Of the insane asylum tell what
they mean by denouncing the RepubM-
can issuance of war bonds when the
party with which they affiliate and
which they defend, only a few months
ago, issued two hundred millions of
bonds at a time of the profoundest
peace, which bonds were not publicly
and openly disposed of, but secretly
shunted into the NAV Of a goldbug
syndicate, with bonus Of nine millions
of~dollars? What does that Pop plat
form mean by commencing the war
and the soldier and then criticising the
effort 10 raise money to equip feed and
pay the soldier? Do they mean that
the soldiers pay should be raised to
$50 per month in deprecated fiat paper?
Then that long rigmarole Of demands.
Wasn't Leedy elected on just such
string of demands and pledges. the
most prominent one of which was the
enactment of railroad laws? Who but
Leedy knocked out with his veto the
railroad law, that was finally worried
through, and then took another knock
down" from the railroads by threaten
ing TO call an extra session of the leg
islature? Where is a single reform or
sign of reform promised by the Pop
platform Of two years ago? An echo
comes back from the most venal and
corrupt legislative body ever assembled
In the state with the answer Where ?"

WITHIN A YEAR

The country that discovered Column
bus for its senility and decay seems
only surpassed by that of the unspeak-
able Turk. For a very truth the en-
pire of the Sultan seems sounder and
Of more promising vigor than His
PIANO. The ignorance of the masses
and the duplicity Of the ruling classes
suggest the last wall of a dying nation.
There seems only despair upon the
part of the people, and rottenness and
WEAKNESS up on the part of her rulers.
Alas, classical Spain! Alas, her chival-
rous youth and the glory and pride
and glory which SO DISTINGUISHED
her national ascendancy. Blindly
stumbling, she heedlessly holds for the
awful brink which must soon witness
her total destruction. Stripped of the
philippines, Cuba and the last of her
West Indian possessions, there will re-
main only the Peninsula, rotten to the
core, the heart, no longer able to heat
only dissolution midst anarchy and the
tratricidal blood of a revolution IN
which the Spain of brilliant romance

Stanley the next governor, reached me al

They are already on the run. Many Pop

Hoping good weather may favor your

Kingman Courier:-In union there is
strength. The delegates from the big
Seventh district decided to stay together
and work in harmony at the Hutchinson
convention AS a result they came out Of
the convention with three of the nine
places on the state ticket. w E. Stanley
for governor, Frank Grimes for state trea-
surer, and Frank Nelson for state sun
erintendent Such a piece of political
work Is unparalleled in the history Of
Kansas politics and it ought to furnish
It's lesson. Wrangling and pickering
might have defeated them all Just as
easily as union and harmony nominated
all The interests of the Republicans Of
this district are inseparable and II will
doubtless be many a day before the bows
will permit themselves to be defeated
again by reason of divisions intheir own
ranks.

Kingman Courier:-In the nomination
OF w. f. Stanley the party makes new
and significant departure He is COM
paratively a young man and has never
taken any hand in any of the party's fac
tonal troubles. Very few Of the old sta
gers were for him. He spent no money
He did not have it to spend. He made no
deals or promises. He said from the
start that he wouldn't have the office II
1t had TO come that way. He got out and
met the Republicans at their county con-
ventions. A few OF his young and de-
voted friends perfected an organization
for him. Mr.. Stanley rustled his first bal
lot votes. They worked TO the end that
second choice votes could nominate no
other than Mr.. Stanley. The same ele-
ments that made Mr. Stanley so popular
In county conventions will make him in
vincible before the people. Frank. hon
cradle, generous, upright he IS the man
of all men 20 occupy the governors chair
during these prosperous times. Il will
put the state fully in line with the spirit
that pervades the nation.

Republicans made a wise choice in the

ticket. 1t is generally conceded that the
ticket will win by very large majority.

Leavenworth Times There Is said to be
talk of the Shawnee, Leavenworth and
Atchison Republicans combining to de-
feat young Mr.. Bailey because Bailey IS
Cy. Leland's man and Leland was against
John Seaton. They won't do it-Wichita
Eagle.
There is not aword of truth in the re-
port quoted by the Eagle. And the Eagle
is right in denying the foolish story of a
combination Of Republicans against Mr.
Bailey.
Bailey's vote in the county OF Leaven-
worth will show the biggest majority of
any candidate on the ticket.
Bailey IS not now ICY. Leland's man"
He is simply the candidate of the great
Republican party, and this year the win
ming party of Kansas, Of the whole party,
and he is nobody's man. And as con-
gressman-at-large from Kansas he will
cooperate with our Republican senator
and Republican congressman and the Re
publicans of Kansas in promoting the
highest interests Of our state and union
Cy. Leland Is no longer an issue in the
politics of Kansas, nor is any other one
man. or number of men. The state Is Re-
