Kansas City Gazette: We are glad TO
hear of Colonel Thomas Moonlight back
in Kansas politics. He is an old time
Kansan of earnestness and power, who
has been absent from the state for I'VE
years as Cleveand's minister 10 Bolivia.
He took a hand in the Democratic confer
ence at Topeka the other day and he will
be a power in the restoration of the DEM
ocratio party in Kansas. In 1856 he was
the Democratic candidate for governor.
and he received 10000 votes, while today
as the result Of fusion he finds no Demo-
cratic party. He says, that the fusion
ticket WEI be defeated by a majority of

the Democracy of Kansas Is waking up
and must arouse itself to the fact that
when it gave up principle II went TO ruin.
There are enough strong men in the party
to save it and l predict that the party

Empona Gazette: Stanley Is fine man

Is a good mixer. His election win come
because he represents a party that has
a reputation for sound sense, business
integrity, and the ability to do things.
The candidate of such a party will make
no mistake If he tries to be a dignifed |
gentleman-even at the expense of his de-
sire to be known as a good fellow, by a
ot of irresponsible dodgers, who will be
great bore after election. The next
governor of Kansas will have to turn
hat kind of fellow down hard and show
him that ne is not a good fellow after
all. Nothing is 50 worthless as the good
fellow. The Gazette refuses to believe
hat StanBey is a good fellow at heart at
Ill. He has probably as much iron in
1tm as the average business man. But
many Kansas voters moved to this state
from Missouri and 1t is important to show
them.
