LOCAL POLITICAL NOTES.
Miss Wilson authorizes the REGIS
TER to say that no one has applied for
the position of deputy in the event of
her election, nor has she offered the
position to anyone, or consulted with
anyone in regard to it, or even made up
her own mind as to whom she would
appoint. When the time comes she
will find someone who is competent
and who will be satisfactory to the
people generally and to-. Republicans
particularly. And that ought to
settle that question
~
1t is currently reported that one of
the Double-Head candidates has
"blowed inn an Iowa farm on his
campaign-or rather on one or two
thrifty "managersn OF said campaign.
When the campaign is over he
will know how to sympathize
with the man who bought the gold
brick.

Two years ago Jerry simpson de-.
clared that if this country did not
adopt free coinage the people would
be reduced TO serfdom. This year he
doesn't say word about free coin
age, but puts In Two hours to prove"
that II this country doesn't hau.
down the flag and run away from the
Philippines and reduce the standing
army the people will be enslaved.
Why should any sensible man longer
follow a leader who wabbes from ono
folly to another?

40 not believe the people of Allen
county VIII condemn by their votes
the expenditure # money which was
paid to enforce The laws and t. build
bridges.
~
The Republicans of Allen county
are the only ones who eau vote .
straight ticket this year. Every
POpulist who votes the ticket under
his party name will have to vote for
three Democrats and every Democrat
who votes the ticket under his party
name will have To- vote for three
Populisis. Lent it pretty hard to be
proud Of that kind of vote?
~
There IL no reasonable doubt of the
election OF every Republican candi-
date on the ticket, fr' m Judge Still
we'll down. But every Republican
ought 10 take pride enough in making
the majority as big rs p, sible to 90
10 the pOtls ard votA. Lrt us give
majority thst will DO reminder of
1888.
~
A vote for the Republican ticket
this year is rs truly vote to sustain
the Government as IL was in 1862 or
'64. A generalj Repu Olican de-
feat I'm the county elections of Kansas
would be heralded as condemnation
ofthe policy of the Government in
rotation to the Philippines, and would
give encouragement to the men who
are in arms against our country.
That is the reason that hundreds of
POpulists and Democrats all over
Kansas are not going to help defeat
the Republican county tickets this
year.

1t is reported that CATER a careful
canvass OF the situation" the man.
ayers of Mr., Lapham's campaign for
judge claim that he will carry Allen
county by three hundred majority. |
The strange part about this claim is
that it names exactly the figures that
those opposed to Judge Stillwell as
serted he would lose the county before
Mr., Lapham was nominated.
~
The circular letter sent out ia tho
interest of Mr.. Lapham declares in
great build faced letters that JUDGE
