ClpleS covering JD6 party T6COTu, anu
adjourned. This convention did much
more than this.
Pittsburg Kansan (POp); Each del
egate felt that he represented men, and
not for a moment did he forget this
but he also remembered that he had
been selected by reason OF the views
opinions and judgments he had given in
the hearing Of those who sent him and
that they expected him to assert his
views in the convention.
Smith Center Pioneer (Rep.): BY
abolishing the police boards In the
larger cities Of the State Governor Leedy
has, we believe, strengthened his party
In the State. The metropolitan police
law has been the bane Of every State ad-
ministration since its enactment. Each
city can better care for its police regu'
lations than have the State do so for
them.
Seneca Courier-Democrat (Dem.): The
present State administration has done
more in the interest Of the people, than
any administration the State has ever
had and the Democrats Of Kansas, rec
ognizing that fact, had no hesitancy in
giving 1t this unqualified endorsement
The Democrats Of Kansas wage the bat
ties of politics for principles and not
for spoils.
Spring Hill New Era (Rep): The
Democratic convention did the most
dignified thing it could in nominating
the entire Pop ticket. The idea seemed
to have come to the delegates after they
met together in Atchison. Now they
cannot be accused Of swallowing the
Pops for Office. They simply want to see
the Republican ticket defeated, but in
this they will fail.
GoOdland Republic (Pop); To even a
casual observer, 1t was evident that the
Peoples party State convention was not
controlled by any political ring, that 1t
would brook no boss and stand no tri-
fling; that 1t had the courage Of its con-
victions, that 1t knew its rights and
knowing dared to maintain them. The
convention was courageous, COnscien-
tious, consistent, progressive and pat
riOtic.
Winfield Free Press (Pop.): The ad-
ministration was so heartily Endorsed
by all three elements of the reform
forces because 1t deserved Endorsement
Coming into power after corporate greed
had feasted upon the resources Of this
State for more than thirty years, 1t
was no easy task to check that greed.
Yet retrenchment and reform were the
watchwords, and substantial results fol-
lowed.
Junction City Sentinel (POp) II
cannot be said hereafter that the Kan
sas Democracy is a party of barter It's
work at Atchison is very commenda-
BILE. We are highly pleased over the
result and especially so when the stu
alton was so quickly realized by the
Democrats and free silver Republicans.
1t was their ticket in 1896 and 1t Is their
ticket now and they will give it their
undivided support.
Augusta Gazette (Dem.): The result
Of the three conventions held in Topeka
and Atchison last week could scarcely
have been more satisfactory to the sill
yer forces of Kansas than 1t is. 1t was
something that the gold bond trust
organs did not believe could be accom-
plished and silver men hardly expected
that fusion would be accomplished with
so much enthusiasm and so little fric-
tion in the conventions.
Hutchinson Democrat: The opposition
to the Republican party In Kansas are
now better organized and more harmO-
nious than they have ever been. With
good work and a faithful presentation
of our principles we are sure Of victory
Our friends, the enemy have the biggest
slush fund they have had since the Pres.
idential campaign and more coming
Can the voters of Kansas be bought
body and soul? We don't believe it.
Harvey County Banner (Pop): The
endorsement of the Populist ticket by
the Democratic convention shows q
spirit Of fairness and an unusual meas.
ure of good judgment. In the face oI
