THEY COUNT ON WINNING
Representative Curtis Says Kansas Will Be
Republican by $4,000.
Predicts the Election of Six Members
of the Lower House-Silver Is
sue Laid. Aside.

Representative Curtis Of Kansas had an
interview today with President Mckinley
regarding the disposition to be made of
Kansas troops. He also talked with the
President regarding the political situation
in the west, which, he says, is strongly for
the republicans. Kansas has three reg-
ments of white troops and two battalions
Of colored troops in the volunteer army.
The two battalions of cviored troops are in
camp at Topeka. They desired to be sent
to Santiago and asked Mr.. Curtis to make
that request of the President and Secretary
of War. The request has been granted and
orders will be issued today sending the
Kansas colored men to Santiago. The Goth
Kansas Regiment ts at San Francisco. 1t
will go to Manila if Gen. Merritt says he
wants more soldiers. The 21st Regiment is
at Chlckamauga, and I'll. I'D at Camp
Alger.
AS to politics, Mr.. Curtis said to a Star
reporter: THE republicans will sweep Kan
sas by from 80, 600 to $4,000 majority. We
will elect six of the eight members of the
House of Representatives. We now have
only two members of the House. The pop
ulists have renomnated Governor Leedy,
who is indorsed by the democrats, and the
republicans have put up H. NJ. Stanley.
There is no doubt tnat Mr. Stanley will
win by a big majority. The populists have
no strong platform upon which to make
fight. They dare not bring up the silver
issue, as they would be numerically beat
en- on that.
$50 they are busy defending their state
administration, which was the most corrupt
in the history Of the state. In addition to
this, they are attacking the President on
the alleged ground that he Is weak and
controlled by Hanna and others They are
also attacking the war policy of Secretary
Ager. Their abuse of the President is
making hundreds of votes for the repub-
lican party. Ninety-nine per cent of our
people are more than satisfied with the
Presidents conduct of the war and have
the greatest confidence in him. They are
proud of our army and navy and believe
that the naval victories which were won
have equals in the history of the world"

The ROBBERY IN
JACKSON WARD
A QUIET ELECTION.
Democratic Candidates Count
ed In.
OUTRAGEOUS TACTICS.

The municipal contest in this city
was without interest. except in Jack
sou Ward, where the regular Republi.
can ticket was opposed by a mske-shift
democratic one. The latter was count
ed in.
In order to deceive the voters names
we're put on the ballot OF persons who
did not exist.
Democratic challengers were out in
fall force, and everything possible. was
done to hsrass and tantalize the voters.
The result was that the colored al
dermsn H. ]. Moore, had counted for
him 2S5 votes and his white democrat
c competitor 1874.
e. J. Crane received 14o votes, Nor
ton Deane, 1876; H. +. Jonathan, 1877
w. s. Selden 1888; b. p. Vandervall,
1873 The above were candidates for
the Common Council.
Those for justices Of the peace on the
Republican ticket were Peter B.
shorts, who polled 81S votes; j. T
White, 800; w. s. Howard go.
The falling OF in the vote for coun-
cilmen was due to the mixture o
names on that part OF the ticket.
; The white Democratic councilmani'
candidates were II. J. Heeke, who re
ceived 488 votes; ID. +. Mccarthy. 434
John Teefey. 424; q. K. Pollock, 474
NJ. +. Whalen, $50.
The white Democratic candidate
for justices of the peace were ]. r
Keith, 446; P.J. MCCARTHY, 460; Al
fred Otto, 452. So ended the repeti
tioa of the outrage.
Not allowed to vote for a govern
, ment, these colored men are expecte
to fight for it.
