EVERY one who was here in 1896 will re-
member that the Republicans insisted most We
henently that the election of the Populist tick
ct would mean ruin for Kansas, even if Nc
Kinley should be elected-but, for year past,
they have been shouting about our wonderful
prosperity. Already, they have begun to fill
the land with similia- predictions-and to
snicker in private over show easy it is for us to
fool the people (nearly) all the time. indie

Going Down Among EN-.

In a recent interview, Mr.. Stanley, the Re-
publican candidate for governor, said he was
going down among the people and carry them
message of hope. We are waiting curiously
to see what the message will be. When he
gets down among the men who raise cattle and
hogs, what sort of message will ne take them
in regard to the Pop law reducing charges III
the Kansas City stock yards upwards OF $780,
900 year? Will he be against the law, or
will he promise them still greater reductions'
When Mr. Stanley gets down on the level
with the folks who buy school books, what
message will he bring down to them in regard
to the Pop school book law that saves its an
nual thousands to the people? Will he de-
nounce the law, or will he promise still greater
savings under Republican rule?
When Mr.. Stanley gets down on the level
of the taxpayer who has had his burden OF the
of county taxes lightened by the Pop law that
reduced the salaries of county officers, what
message will he carry to them? Will he de-
uounce the law, or will he promise still greater
reductions?
When Mr.. Stanley gets down on the level
with the man who pays for fire insurance, what
message of hope will he carry to him? Will
he tell him that the reports filed with Insur-
ance Commissioner McNall show that last year
the foreign fire insurance took more than
million dollars out of Kansas over and above
what they paid back in losses, and that this
burden could be lightened by system of state
insurance, or will he tell them to continue to
carry the load? Will he tell him that McNall
has reduced the price of insurance IS per cent?
When Mr.. Stanley gets clear down under
Ground with the miner, what message will he
carrv to him? Will he tell him that the grand
6eht made by Attorney-General Boyle which
lifted the burden of the script and screen laws
from the miners shoulders was good thing!
Will he congratulate him on the fact that, ow-
inc to the exertion of Pop administration, his
coal is now weighed as it comes from the shaft
and his wages are paid in cash2
Kansas people are an independent lot. The
average Kansan believes he is just as good as
orvbody. and often good deal better. They
ore accustomed to meet each other on the level,
and unless Mr.. Stanley has some very import
ant message to bring down to the people, they
are liable to resent the idea of his coming down
70 them at all. -Hiawatha Democrat.
