to the New York Voice recently as ia
voring such saloon as that at Prince
ton College. The Hutchinson Herald
(Rep.) recalls a recent oratOriCal con-
test at which the University contingent
was literally represented by drunken
and prOfane students.
The Colored Citizen, an organ which
is representative of the race, in speak
ing of Governor Leedy's action in CIV
ing cOlored men proper recognition,
says: Talk is cheap, and empty prom
ises in the past have been the diet fed
to us with long spoon, 10, these many
years. That we duly appreciate this
friendly voluntary act, conferred out Of
a sense Of fair dealing, indicating a
moral courage rare anywhere when we
are concerned, we can assure Governor
Leedy that no act Of ours will ever give
him occasion to regret taking this for
ward step in our behalf"

A correspondent, who signs his name,
writes to the Chetopa Advance (Rep.)
that Silenus Clark, the Republican
nominee for County Attorney, should be
withdrawn. He says that he worked up
a scheme to purposely change the re-
suit of ball game, through the use
Of 800 with the opposing club, and that
he had bets amounting to $500 on the
game He says that "This same Silenus
is the chum of saloon and joint busi-
ness, the partner of the tin horn gam
blers and the boon companion and assO-
clate of all the other disreputable ele-
ments of society, and yet we are asked
to vote for him for County Attorney"
The Democrats have nominated A. D.
Gilkeson for Judge of the Russell
Ellis-Trego-L Logan -Gove-Wallace dis
trict. The Populists had previously
nominated J. G. Ruppenthal, of Russell,
to whom no possible objection could be
made except that he is young. On
close fusion the district is not likely to
go Republican, although the margin is
small. Four years ago the Democrats
nominated w. E. Saum and the Popu-
lists made no nomination but generally
supported him. Gilkeson ran indepen-
dent and drew away votes enough to
defeat Saum. 1t will therefore be hard
to get either Democrats or Populists to
vote for him now.
Frank Rightmire is telling Republican
papers that not one Of the candidates
on the Alliance State ticket in 1890 is
supporting the present Populist ticket
and that Of the present nominees only
Morris and Heflebower voted the Alli-
ance ticket in 1890. Ex-Attorney Cen
eral Ives is not now resident of Kan
sas, and Willetts and Rightmire, not be-
ing on the ticket this year, are boiling,
as usual The other 1890 candidates are
all in line They were A. G. Shinn, r.
S. Osborn w. H. Biddle and B. F. FOs-
ter OF the present State ticket Secre-
tary Bush Superintendent Stryker and
Lieutenant Governor Harvey voted the
Alliance ticket in 1890 in addition to
the two officers named by Rightmire.
