Governor Holds Revival Meeting at
Americus

Americas, Kan, Sept Ex-Governor
Stanley drove to this place last night
from Emporia, ten miles over roads
which were the worse from the rains
which poured down in the Cottonwood
and Neosho valleys all of Sunday night.
The wind was gale in Chase and Lyon
counties today and much of the mud
disappeared by nfghtfall, but the forbid
ding roads and high winds kept country
people at home. Nevertheless the COVER
nor was greeted by good crowds both
at Cottonwood Falls and Americas.
This is a great Methodist town and the
governor struck his gait in the hand
shaking which followed the meetings
here.
J. E. Waterhouse, Judge E W. Cum
bingham, Judge J. Jay Buck and County
Attorney Samuel Spencer escorted the
governor to Americas, leaving Emporia
at Z O'Clock. arriving here at 8. The
Emporia people furnished a glee club;
the Americas Republicans provided the
brass band
The meeting was held in a tent con-
lin, said, between 400 and 500 seats"
which were all occupied.
The Republicans are now in control
of the county'S affairs, where in 1890
some of the most faithful and reliable
townships which had been giving big
Republican majorities, failed to show a
single Republican vote. Republicans are
now confident of local victory greater
than that of two years ago when Stan
ley had a majority of nearly 300.
