Emporia, Kan, Aug. 27.-J. Harvey
Firth. one of the leading lawyers OF
Emporia. and for years IN active

party. A populist paper criticised
him and this is par: of Mr.. Frith's an
Swer:
II have wearied of . party which,
nationally. has not sufficient cohesion
to carry through any policy, and
which. in Kansas, has sunk to such an
utter depth of imbecility that after
;mploring in vain smother party to at
least leave it one roor little eve lamb
in the shape of tw o places on the state
ticket, asserts with q complacent
grin that it has got ahead Of the
ropulists in obliging them to indorse
3ur ticket because it had fastened to
nominate the whole populist state
ticket 80 minutes before the populists
had an opportunity 20 do

examination of the situation at

have been assembled there. OF this
immense number 122 have been

Comparatively speaking the mortality

He is not ashamed to toll, and will

For County Attorney the Republi-
cans have nominated an excellent
young man of fine legal ability, Pc
lice Judge w. w. jackson. This
nomination was unsought, but il
could not have been more worthily
given, for the young man is studious,
honest and diligent; he understands
the law and will execute il. he has
been appointed to the vacancy in the
Office by Judge Price.
Captain J. L. Finley is the nomi-
nee for Probate Judge, and he is a
man ripe with years and experience.
and he would wisely, judiciously and
discreetly administer the duties of
the Office. In the marriage ceremo-
ny Judge Finley would be profound
and dignife3, and would tie the knot
and kiss the bride for the same fee.
Charles E. Lopp, the candidate for
Of Public Instruc-
ton, is teacher of ability and e1pe-
rience. and he is well qualified to dis
charge the duties Of the Office. Mr..
Loop is resident Of Spearville and
he is highly esteemed as citizen and
teacher.
T. L. Dellinger of Ford is the can
didate for Surveyor, and he is a gen
tleman we'll qualified to discharge the
duties of the Office. Mr.. Dellinger
is highly respected citizen in the
community where he is known.
Mic Mayrath is the candidate for
County Commissioner from the Third
District. Mic is not a candidate
from choice. His friends insisted on
him making the race for the reason
that the Supreme Court ousted him
from the Office to which he was legal
ly elected. He served five years, and
be is one of the best commissioners
the county ever had. His friends in
this race are not confined to one par
ty. He is popular in all parties. He
is conversant with the county affairs
and the people need his services.
The convention was harmonious,
all of the nominations having been
made by exclamation. It is a good
ticket and It will be elected.

What win Yea Bet

| In bis speech at Lawrence, Sep
tember Let, J. r. Burton, said:
81 am not here today to complain,
nor to question how you voted in
1890. 1892, 1894 or 1s96-that be-
longs to the past when other issues
were involved. The question is, what
are you going to do now? This ap-
peal comes to every voter. The op-
position will try to dodge the Issue,
but every voter must know that is
impossible. Our national destiny,
ridiculed aud opposed by Bryan, is o
reality. It came to Us as revelation;
it flashed forth in the blaze of battle;
the crash of medieval barbarism
with nineteenth century civilization
gave the light and pointed the way.
The policy Of expansion is our ma
tional destiny. 1t is the stone cut out
without hands which is to smite the
images and break them to pieces, the
stone that is to become great noun
tain and fill the whole earth. Our
ships are to float on every sea. Our
commerce is to reach every trade
market in the world. Our country
shall have footing in the Orient.
Dewey's great victory shall not be
thrown away. In the wake of our
expanding trade and in the lands Of
our new possessions, must 60 and be
planted our wiser laws and our higher
civilization.
"What party must be entrusted
with this great work? The Populist
party? Oh, Kansas! In the name Of
the glorious past, I appeal to you!
In the name of our still more glori-
Gus future that is coming to our be-
loved country. I appeal to you! lap
peal to you to be true to Kansas, to
put her in harmony with our new
destiny. I appeal to you to join us
in sending greeting to Mckinley in
November that the proud State of
Kansas has taken her stand with him.
That she has come back to her first
love, the Republican party, aud that
she has come to stay"

Some time ago the Arkansas City
Traveller published an interview with
J. Lea Simpson. of Leavenworth
county. at that time q member of the
populist state committee and an officer
at the state penitentiary. In the in
terview Mr.. Simpson predicted that
Leedy could not be elected because of
the failure of his administration and
in answer to the question from the
Traveller reporter as to how he har-
naonized his party . action in regard to
.,enitentiary coal with the Abilene
Platform, Mr. Simpson, said: II can't
harmonic the two Inconsistencies,
and don't try to. certainly cam
not approve of the unprecedented out
put of coal at the penitentiary-an
output made possible by reason Of
having coal stored in the mine, that
was mined months before"
"Mr. Simpson," asked the reporter.
do you mean to say that the peniten-
tiary officials, Warden Lands aud
Deputy Gable, representatives of Gov.
eedy, mined coal with -convicts.
stored it away in the mines with the
view of having it handy to throw
upon the market in the event Of a
strike by free labor?'
my word is not usually questioned.
know whereof I speak. was the
mine officer at the penitentiary about
year ago in charge of q gang of con-
victs that started the storing of lump
coal in the mine. and it was thrown
upon the open market during tho
strike"
Do you know how much coal WAS in
store when the officers began TO rush
it to market?
II do not, but we were storing coal
for weeks before I left the prison
there was a large quantity of it and 1t
was the very best lump coal"

"This Is an off year for the Or

to shorten their terms of Office and
TO prevent their reelection that the
