the successful performance of the
exacting duties of the great office of
Governor.
Mr.. Funston's candidacy appeals
with peculiar force to those Republi-
cans who believe that unswerving
loyalty to the party should be an in
dispersal BILE prerequisite in bestowing
the honors Of the party. In Office or
out of it. MIR. Funston's fidelity to the
Republican party has never been
questioned. While candidate for
Congress it was matter of course
that he should devote himself to the
upbuilding of the party, But it will
not be forgotten that when defeated
for denomination to this Office and
in the annual campaigns since that
time, he has been just as generous
in devoting his time to the
party's success. The only diff
ference has been that his eff
forts in these later years have reached
over nearly the entire State instead
of being confined to his own district
as was of necessity the case when he
was a candidate for Congress. AS a
Repu blicsn, all the year and every
year, Mr.. Funston's record Is without
a blemish.
The REGISTER is already on record
as demanding that the Republican
candidate for Governor this year
should be able to make speech. Mr.
Funston fills that requirement. He
IL not an orator IN the sense that Mr..
Ingalls, or Mr.. Burton or Mr.. Nelson
is. But he is political campaigner
of very much more than average
power. He makes an argument. He
grasps the real issue of the campaign
and he expounds the Repu side
of it logically. clearly and powerfully
Nobody ever goes away from one of
Mr.. Funston's meetings asking what
he was driving at.n They always
know. And whether convinced or
not, they have got something to think
about. Nominate Mr.. Funston for
Governor, and there will be no doubt
before the campaign is over that he
is the real as well as the nominal
leader of the party.
Mr.. Funston W i'll be strong candi-
date because the people believe in him.
They know that he is absolutely free
from the domination of any political
faction, and that he has not even the
remotest connection with any interest,
corporate or commercial, that could
ever conflict with the interest of the
State. They know that he would go
into the Office of Governor with no
"stringsn of any kind tied to him,
and with no object or aim or purpose
except to conserve the interests OF all
the people and to advance the dignity
and honor and good name of the State.
The battle is already half won when
u man is placed in nomination who
commands in all these particulars the
absolute confidence Of the people.

~
During the past few weeks the REG
IsTER has presented the portraits and
brief life sketch of a number of the
prominent citizens of Kansas who are
aspirants for the Repu blican nomina-
tion for the Office of Governor. Strong
men all of them, good Repu blicans,
good citizens, worthy in every point
of the high office to which they
aspire.
The REGISTER has introduced these
gentlemen to its readers, partly be-
cause it was q pleasure to speak a
good word for personal friends, partly
because it owed it to its Republican
patrons to make them acquainted
with the,men who are asking their
support and partly because 1t knew
that the candidate of Allen county
for the Office of Governor would not
suffer in the comparison that was
bound to be made.
Edward II. Funston is no stranger
to the people OF Kansas for he has
been a part OF the public life of the
State for twenty-five years. Indeed
it is doubtful if any of the other candi-
dates is so..well known to so many
people. They know that he left his
college with his course half completed
to enter the Union army; that he
served his country Loyalty and
strongly, in the bullet department,
until the war was over; that he came
to Kansas while it was yet on the
frontier and has helped to make it
what it Is ; that he came here poor
man, without means or.influence, and
that he worked his own way to the
front rank that he has been one of
the men who farmed the farm and
not the farmer that he has been
firm friend of Kansas. Kansas institu-
tions and Kansas, people; that In
all his dealings ,Ein Iprivate and in
public life he has been honest. These
things the people of Kansas know of
K. H. Funston and they are good
things to know of any man.
1t is no depreciation of other candi-
dates to say that in the matter of
training for successful administra-
ton of the affairs of the State, Mr..
Funston has the advantage of them
all. Six years in the House and four
years in the Senate ofthe Kansas leg.
islature, made him familiar with the
business of the State, while twelve
years in Congress gave him that
larger experience which cannot have
failed to broaden his views and
strengthen his grasp of public affairs
Added to this long training, not
equalled by that which any former
chief executive of the State has had,
are his wide acquaintance with the
public men of the State, his personal
uprightness, his good business sense
his moral courage and independ-
ence; and all of these together
! equip him with rare completeness for

FOR CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT

FOR CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT.
Allen county has always been
fortunate in her district clerks. From
John Francis ON down they have
been clever, obliging, popular men
who have served the Court and the
people well,an won deservedly good
opinions.
Mr.. II. M. Miller has been no ex-
ception to the rule Indeed 1t would
not be too much to say that he has
been the full equal of the very best
who have preceded him. The method
and accuracy drilled into him by
years of practice behind the counter
of bank ,:have been carried into the
clerks Office, I.and the result lie a
perfectly arranged office and perfectly
kept books. Every book and paper lie
in its place, and Mr.. Miller knows
exactly where the place lie. Every
cent that Is paid in is checked straight
to the proper account, and there is no
confusion or delay. Add to these
careful sand systematic methods, a
patience that is unwearying, a
courtesy that is unlailiDg and a good
fellowship that attracts .all who come
within hailing distance, and it is not
hard to understand why Mr.. Miller
will have no opposition in his own
party for denomination, and why his
reelection is not doubted by the men,
bers of any party.
The REGISTER takes pleasure in
announcing that Mr.. Miller will be
candidate before the Republican
primaries and convention for re-nomi-
nation to the office of Clerk of the
District Court.

For Second Thought.

If ever, in the heat of future politi-
cal excitements, any youthful citizen
of our land should feel the temptation
to resort to violence and appeal to
arms, let such one contemplate this
terrible picture of the scene at the bat
tie of the Crater, near Petersburg. to-
ward the close Of the civil war, as de-
scribed by confederate officer: After
the. first moment of panic, following
the explosion of the mine, the southern
soldiers rallied and inflicted on the
advancing federals a severe and bloody
defeat. 1t was as gallant a charge as
ever I saw. We recaptured all our
works, driving the enemy cut of the
vast crater formed by the explosion.
like herd of frantic buffaloes, Then
ensued such scene as I hope never
to see again. The crater was filled
with seething mass Of men, humid
reds and thousands Of them, some fir
ing back upon us, all struggling Wild
ly to escape. SCATTERING volleys were
fired into the thronged abyss till it
became veritable slaughter pen. The
frantic mass heaved and struggled like
demons Hand-grenades were hurled
down upon them, and as these explod-
ed, you could see heads and arms and
legs go up into the airi Our men
at length sickened of the carnage and
stopped. The federals lost that day
more than four thousand men. They
left the crater choked with dead. No
attempt was made till long after to
take the bodies out for burial. The
earth was thrown upon them where
they lay, covering the hideous sight
from the face of heaven.

very many are doing II. and so are making
inevitable a more disastrous decline in
prices after a time.
Nobody can guess how great the de-
mand for iron and steel products may be

the rare good sense to walt for actual or

Colorado Springs, Col, Sept. s.-A
pitched battle occurred in this city at
daybreak Wednesday between the two
warning factions of the silver repub-
lican party of this state, in which one
man was killed and three wounded.
The dead man is Charles S. Harris, an
employe al Denver of the Gulf railway.
The wounded were spirited away by
their friends and their identity has not

that man named Palmer was shot in
the cheek, but not seriously injured.
Another man had his hand shot nearly
off and another got flesh wound in
the arm.

Result of the Explosion of q
Barrel of Alcohol.

New York, Sept. o.-Thrcc workmen
were burned to death in fire in Max
Stiner d Co.'s whisky house at No. 80
