"On Stanley, On.
Whitewater Independent. Some OF the
radical Pop papers have made great
mistake attacking W. E. Stanleys hon.
esty and integrity, and such serseless
attack will make him lots of votes, 100.
Stanley is a good man, stands high. and
is popular. If he is In the wrong crowd.
so much the better for that crowd From
what We have seen Of him, in the Populist
| papers. we can hardly blame him for
being a Republican. Wouldn't the Re-
puhlcans have been buffers to put up a
man not as good as Stanley against a
governor and candidate like Leedy?
Galena Republican,: One of the most
enthusiastic supporters of Hon w. E.
Stanley, Republican candidate for gov
ernor. is J. r. Ernest Of this city. In
1871 Stanley and Ernest came west TO
! grow up with the country, and settled
| in Jefferson county. Both gentlemen be-
ing enthusiastic Republicans, they were
honored the following year by receiving
the nominations upon the Republican ticket
for county attorney and county superin-
tendent, respectively. Mr.. Stanley being
| lawyer of recognized ability and Mr..
| Earnest a successful educator, they were
| both triumphantly elected, and served the
| people faithfully and well. In speaking

ICES him as one of the poblest and grand
est men in the state, and should he be

subscription to the Register, Mr.. o. O..
Adams, who formerly lived in Wichita
and knows Mr.. Stanley well, says: with
w. E. Stanley at the head of the ticket,
there seems to be little doubt of the de-
feat of Populism this year. I. know Mr..
Stanley we'll. He Will make strong can

the bar, and Christian gentleman. He

Lawrence Journal: Atchison, Leaven-
worth, Kansas City and Wichita announce
that they will allow salons to run just the
same as they have been running, pro-
vided the keepers put up the requisite
amount of stuff. Topeka and Fort Scott
will fall back on drug store drinks, and it
is reported from both towns that drug
stores have doubled the price since the
Leedy order. Living will be expensive
but not difficult in Topeka and Fort Scott
hereafter.
Kansas City Journal: Here is another
nice little inconsistency in the Populist
platform. In one resolution the national
platform of 1896 is Endorsed from begin
ming to end. In the next resolution the
issue of government bonds for any pur-
pose is vigorously denouced. The Popu-
list national platform of 1896 Endorsed the
issue of bonds by congress at any time
the necessity arose, but objected to the
issue of bonds by the president and his
secretaries without an act of congress.
In other words, the Populst national con-
vention denounced the kind of bonds is
sued durig the Populist and Democratic
administration and indorsed the kind of
bonds just issued for war purposes.
Kiowa (Pop.) Review: Hundreds of
Democrats and Populists all over the Big

vention, refused to indorse the candidacy !

nee and present incumbent, and nominat- |

Kansas City Star: The sdmlnistrat ton
has made no more reputable and appro-
pirate appointment than that OF Colonel
Marshall NJ. Murdoch as postmaster at
Wichita. Colonel Murdoch is the kind OF
a Republican who Is not afraid to criti-
else his party when il does what he thinks
is wrong, and if ii were the rule instead
of the exception to reward that kind OF
bravery there would be much less i'm
and corruption in politics than
there is now.

need II, and need il badly, he has received
promotion for his independence.
