The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1898-07-10

ison convention has grown TO revolt, as
Barney Sheridan puts 1t, and from revolt
TO revolution. a mass convention of Dem
ocrats will be called for the first week
in August. The Democratic newspapers
of the state have taken the matter up and
the probabilities are that very few who
claim 10 be Democrats will vote the fusion
ticket.
Atchson Globe: 1t is believed that in
competent officers for the Kansas regi-
ments is the reason why no Kansans are
sent to the front. The Twentieth Kansas
regiment sat on the fence at San Fran
cisco and watched TWO regiments leave for
the Philippines that arrived there after it,
The Twenty-first Kansas has said good
bye to three regiments that reached
Chickamauga later than it did. The
Twenty second Kansas at Camp Alger has
waved goodbye 10 three regiments that
were not in Camp Alger when the Kan
sas boys landed there. What's the matter
with Kansas, anyway?
Council Grove Republican: A number
of POpulist papers are still publishing the
statement that the Republican state ticket
contains the names of no old soldiers.
Among the number we notice the Topeka
Advocate and News which ought 10 be bel
ter posted. II. z. Richter, the nominee
for lieutenant governor is a resident of
this city and is veteran of the war OF
61-5. Mr.. Richter enlisted in company I,
123rd Indiana infantry when only 16 years
of age and served until mustered out al

record and deserves credit even from Pop
ulist papers.
Leavenworth Times: w. J. Bailey's can
didacy for ongressman-at-larg is pro-
crossing every day with long strides. He
makes new friends wherever he goes. Yes
terday he was in the city and called upon
The Times. We venture TO say he is
stronger now in Leavenworth county than
he was when he was nominated, and his
strength will grow till election day. when
ne will receive an unprecedented majority
from this county.
Troy Chief: Colonel Murdoch did get
the Wichita postoffice, after all. The only
wonder is that some dead beat who owed
all the politicians was not picked out and
given the place, in order that the strikers
could get their money back" says c. S.
Finch, of the Lawrence Journal. Does
this remark refer to in any way to the
Lawrence postmaster?
Minneapolis Messenger: Governor Leedy
had TO swallow a large mess of crow in
order to secure the nomination for gov
ernor a second time. Not only was he
obliged to do away with the metropolitan
police commissioners against his will, but
he was compelled to run on a platform
which endorses the very freight rate bill
which he vetoed. Leedy was willing TO do
anything for that nomination
Atchison Champion: It will be remem-
bered that it was not great while ago
that the Popuists stated that Kansas
would no sell under the hammer for
enough to pay its debts. Bearing this
statement in mind. the Yates Center News
thinks that the spectacle Of 90 many Kan
sans purchasing government bonds is a
great joke on the Populist party.
Lawrence Journal: The Democratic in
surgents Of Kansas are going 10 mobilize
their forces and make an attack upon the
fusion stronghold. When the war begins.
the insurgents will have the assistance
Of the American party of Kansas. and
the victory Will be complete, II not over
whelming.
Kansas City Gazette: Jerry simpson ex-
presses the idea that the war will come

otto and thoroughly Popuustic view OF

Lawrence Journal: Dave Leahy says

As Dave does not believe his own stories.
he ought to try to get them in such shape .
that some one else would be fooled by (
