to demonstrate MIS- power Dy KNOCKING
out two Congressman at once. If he sue
ceeds IL will increase his power and make
the rabble more subservient to him.
John Breidenthal, who keeps better
posted on financial matters than any
man in the West, says that more banks
are liquidating In the East than In the
West and that the West has more new
banks organizing than the East, thus
showing that the East is not the whole
thing"
j. w. Gleed makes the point that Gov
ernOr Leedys roast of the Supreme court
is unbecoming because Field and Har-
Ian, two of the Justices, were appointed
by Abraham Lincoln. This leads Dea-
con Hathaway to observe that Jesus
Christ appointed Judas Iscariot as one
of His disciples
Pastor ]. p Allen, Of the Russell M. e.
church, has been transferred by the pre-
siding elder to Galatea, hamlet which
pays it's preacher but $164 per year. He
is out in a card asking for petition to
enable him TO appeal to the bishop. He
very naturally wants a charge which
will afford living.
Bailey has captured the Brown county
delegation to the Congressional Conven-
tion This gives him three counties
Brown, Nemaha and Doniphan. Atchi-
son and LeaVenwOrth are said to be
divided between Broderick and Curtis;
BrOderick has Jackson and Jefferson and
Curtis has Shawnee. --
Fletcher Helm, the Silver Lake farmer
who told the very plausible story that
Sheriff Kepley was going to send out q
car load OF beer to secure the votes Of
a half dozen men on a ranch in his To-
cality last fall, has been rewarded by
being made Office deputy by Sheriff Cook
of Shawnee county.
Charley Lobdell discourses to the ex-
tent of half column on President Nc
Kinley's mistake. He says that he can
not escape "the charge Of having shown
the white feather as he sent to Spain
a stiff ultimatum only after it became
apparent that Congress would not longer
tolerate his policy of temporizing."
The Salina Union (Pop.) charges w. A.
Norris, the Populist County Attorney,
with dishonesty, fraudulent issuing Of
summons and endeavoring to take prop
erty without due process of law. The
Union presents the facts, which make
a strong case, and it Is to be commended
for exposing him without regard for his
politics. :;
The Brown county primaries resulted
in the election of delegates as follows:
Bailey 81, Broderick 20, Curtis IL. There
were tickets representing the three cam
didates in all precincts. A contest will
likely be instituted in two townships.
In one the polls were closed too early,
and in the other it is alleged that Brod-.
eriCk votes were thrown out.
Atchison county Republicans named
Seaton delegates. The Congressional
delegates are for G.. D. Walker. A reso-
luton naming Broderick for second
choice was defeated. The resolutions
express satisfaction with the repeal of
the Wilson law, endorse Mckinley and
Curtis and Broderick for their wise and
patriotic course as Congressman.
The Kigman Leader-Courier, which
knows better, tries to make point by
asserting that Bryan is afraid to say
anything about Cuba for fear he will
light on the wrong side. Mr. Bryan
has spoken frequently and his remarks
have always been on the side Of patriotic
Americans who hope to relieve a suffer
ing neighbor and maintain the country's
honor
Herman Fenske publishes Ito whom
II may concern" in the Lakin Index iP
which he observes that the charge that |
he said that James Parmor and Jim |
Wenger were the biggest and only liars !
in Southside township, Kearney county, |
Kansas, is utterly without foundation !
and untrue, and l am prepared to jump |
