A Disguised Republican.

was county hupbIlHteuuehu W huNVi
SON county from 1891 to 1896:
1--WE have noticed with some degree
Of disgust how the blear-eyed bosses
who we're in the push we're admitted
to your Office by the dspper little dude
who is your private secretary, while
one legged soldier is forced to wait at
your door hours for a brief interview.
"Where were these men who are
now in the push, when that man lost
his limbsG
"Yes, Governor, where were Brown
Albaugh & Co., when the last call WAS
made by Uncle Ssm9 Their names
do not appear on the muster roll, but
they stand first at the piecounter, and
they get the pie, too
This cotere Of politicians having
placed Allen as your private secretary
have the key to the situation, and even
letters sent to your room 10 confidence
are spread before Albaugh, Brown
and the rest, who dispose Of your own
private business at their own sweet
will. There is said to be honor among
them, aud we certainly should fad II
in one who has been elected as chief
executive OF so great state as ours,
yet you allow your private letters to
be inspected by the state committee,
and this leads us to wonder whether
some Of the applications of those who
are not in the push ever got to your
notice.
"Your first mistake was in appoint
ing your private secretary at the die
tation Of these bosses, as he has made
enough enemies in three months by
his unfalrness and deceit to defeat
you in your next election.
"Then it must have wearied you to
SEQ how Cy could hold the Legislature
in deadlock for days in his determine
ton to prevent, If possible, the Stuart
Falcon contest How they worked
you up to the point where you said
you would vote an appropriation bill
ana thus cripple the work Of the state
courts.
"And whe2 the bill was passed you
voted 1t at Oy's command and thus
used the power conferred on you by
the people of Kansas to prevent an
inquiry into facts for which the Law
provides. Then you HE'D away to
the seashore during the trial, lest the
political methods of Cy to elect his
boy. Judge should further nauseate
your already weakened stomach.
"Do you realize that the people OF
Kansas are in favor Of fair elections ?
That they desplse the methods used
to nominate and elect this boy from
Doniphan as Judge?
FIRING OF M'NALL.
II might mention your late scrap
with MCNall, but forbesr with only a
few remarks, as 1 surmise your pres
emit illness was caused by perusal OF
his very interesting letter. You calico
his language 'insolsnce,' but many
who read it had to admire the maDh-
ness of the man who wrote it, and
who cody invited you to go ahead
and do what the politicians and lnsur-
ance companies had orderedyou to DO
"You will not call 1t 'lnsolence'
should he ask you to give up to him
the chair you now sit i'll when two
years shall roll around. You have
made such a thing possible.
"The people Of Kansas rather re-
S)lce to see the insurance corporations
brought to time, and McNsll had
arm hold on the affections Of Kansas
business men.
%But you perpetrated your farce Of
BUSTING him, and the heart Of many
who voted for you sank a notch OF
two in their breasts, as you obeyec
the dictates of the corporation wher
not citizen of Kansas was asking
for his discharge.
Lately you have had a grsnt
chance to raise yourself in the estims
ton of some Of the boys in Manila
when a whole company petitioned you
for the appointment of their FRIEND
and comrsde to be captain. But vol
turned down their request even ate
it Is SHOWN you that the man the!
want is senior by four dsys over tn,
man you appoint.
"HOw those boys in the trenches
nnder the tropical sun, would hav,
cheered had their request been grant
cd. But you add to their load b!
