M'KiNLEY IN 1891.

In 1891 President Cleveland's gold
standard policy was denounced by no.
body more severely than by William
Mckinley. Here is what our presi.
dent of today said III a speech on Feb
ruary II, 1892. before the Ohio League
of Republican Clubs at Toledo:
During all his years at the head of
the government, he (Clevelandl was
dishoaoring one of our precious meta s,
one of our great products; discredtiug
silver and enhancing the price of gold.
He was determined to contract the cir
culating medium, demonetlZe one of
the coins of commerce and limit the
volume of money among the people,
make money scarce. therefore dear.
He (Cleveland) would have Increased
the value of money and diminished the
value Of everything else-money the
master and everything else it's servant
He was not thinking of the poor then,
he lad left their side, he was not stand
ing in their defence. Cheap coats,
cheap labor and dear money! The
sponsor aud promoter of those profess
sing to guard over the poor and lonely!
Was there ever more glaring inconsis.
teDcy or reckless assumption"
And yet President Mckinley now
finds himself pursuing that same finan-
cial policy AS chief executive of this
nation. He is his own condemner.

TOO SMALL FOR HIS JOB.

State Supt. Nelson has in the past,
and is now, doing everything in his
power against the NIckerson Normal
College, and all other independent nor
NAL schools IN the state. He wants to
break down all normal schools. except
the State normal at Emporia. This
shows that he is very narrow minded
or supremacy selfish.
Such man at the head of the schools
in Kansas is serious obstacle to edu.
cational advancement in general-un-
less the advance is made along the mar
row, or selfish, lines marked out by
him.
The republican party made serious
mistake in nominating him for re cleo.
ton. Thousands of republicans scat
tered over Kansas will support him
under protest. Should the opposition
unite on good and liberal minded
man for state superintendent Mr.. Mel
son will be defeated at the polls. The
opposition, however, is not likely to do
so sensible thing.
The educational interests of Kansas
are too great for Mr.. Nelson to grasp,
or to guide along broad and liberal
channels for the benefit of the whole
people. In other words, Mr.. Nelson is
too small for the great Office which he
holds.-Nickerson .Argosy, Republican.

SENATORIAL CONVENTIONS.

There Will be three nominating con-
ventions in the 37th district tomorrow.
The Populist and democrat conventions
will be held in Medicine Lodge and the
republican convention will be held at
Harper.
SO far as we have heard there will
probably be five candidates in the Pop
ulist and democratic conventions, to-
wit: Hon. A. j. Titus. the present
senator of the district, of Harper coun-
ty, Hon. A. b. Reeves, formerly receiv-
or of the U. S. land office. of Dodge
City. Dr. S. b. Corn, of Barber county,
and Mr.. German, of Kiowa COUNTY,
and also a Mr.. Hooker, of Harper
county. Messrs. Corn and Reeves are
democrats and the other three are Pop
ulists.
Until a few days ago 1T looked like F.
Il. Ellis, of this city, had everything
his own way in the republican conven-
ton but now he is out of the race.
He thought he had Harper county safe
but when he learned that Tom NOftZ-
ger, of Anthony, pushed himself into
the race he surrendered Internationally.
The other candidates are jackson, of
Comanche county. and Davis of Kiowa
county.

An interesting republican
primary is expected in Medi-
cine Lodge next Wednesday.
The contest will center on
representative and the man
who gets Medicine Lodge has
almost won in the county.
If hard work will count, Sam
Stewards friends will win;
but every one of the big guns
are for Millar and it is not
believed that the Stewart

egation unless a compromise
is effected, and a compromise
on the part of the Stewart

The purported interview
with Hon. J. w. Breidenthal,
which appeared in the Kan
sas City Journal soon after
he was nominated for COVER
nor, and subsequently clip
ped by nearly all the repub-
lican papers in the state, is a
fabrication out of whole cloth.
The Kansas City paper rep
resented Mr.. Breidenthal as
denouncing Senator King,
Hon. Jerry Simpson and
many other Populists of the
state, in very bitter terms
Mr.. Breidenthal, as soon as
he heard of the fake inter
view, wrote a personal letter
to Mr.. Simpson and others
branding the entire article
as a lie. A few of the re

For Congress eth District,
1. p. CAMPBELL,
of Sedgwick county.

THERE has been some criticism OF
the county commissioners oyer allowing
District Clerk Read a sum in addition
to his fees at the April meeting. The
same was not allowed for clerk hire as
published In the list of bills but as sal
airy, and their authority Is found in
chapter 4, section %, page 3Ol, statutes
or '99. The commissioners say that If
anyone will show them where their &C
ton is contrary to law they will recover
the amount.-Cresset.
Both the clerk 3 publication and the
warrant record say that it was for
clerk hire for preceding year, but
that Is not material. There is no such
citation as the Cresset gives. but We
herewith append The law given in chap
ter l4l, section %. page 3Ol of the ses.
sion laws OF '99. 1t reads rs follows:
The number Of inhabitants shall be
determined for tho purposes OF this act
from the last returns OF the assessors In
each year In their respective counties;
provided however, that the county com.
misSlonerS or the several counties of
the state having more than fifty thOus-
and inhabitants may pay such further
sums, not specified in the previous sec
lions, for clerk hire. as they may deem
proper; also further provided, that the
county commissioners, in case of fee
otf1ces, may make up the deficiency in
the several counties or any part of such
Oenclency as they may deem proper"
The fees of the clerk OF the district
court in this county are limited to 500,
and, IL we read the above section of the
law correctly, the commissioners may :,
In their discretion, allow the district
clerk sufficient amount to make his
yearly compensation $500, provided the
fees do not amount to that much. In
April, 1900, the commissioners allowed
Mr.. Read $3.50. To do this they must
have found that the Office made during
the preceding year no more than $3.50.
In the face of their expenditures from
April 1899 to April 1900 and the reports
made each quarter, will the commits
sioners say that the district clerk s
fees were not more than $3.50? The
county, alone, during the time specified
issued $760.9 SO to the district clerk and
this Is saying nothing of the business
transacted in which private parties
paid fees to the clerk. We wish to add
that II 1t was right to allow Mr.. Read
the extra compensation in April it was
wrong 70 turn 1t down in July. And
II 1t Is right to allow Mr.. Read extra
pay, it is right to allow the other fee
officers the same. We believe that the
allowance was for clerk hire and we
don't believe that the clerk made an
error either in preparing the list of ex.
renditnres for the printer or in enter.
ing 1t on the warrant register. but it il
our opinion that the commissioner
have taken this dodge to save them
selves. However. it does not appear
That they can make the $3.50 item ap
pear reasonable in any way. II is the
opinion OF most OF the attorneys and
many other people In the county thai
the allowance is contrary to law.

AS an index to the rapidity
with which advanced ideas in
political economy are grow.
ing in public favor is cited
the increasing popularity Of
the Appeal to Reason, the
worlds greatest socialist pa.
per, published at Girard, Kan
sas. The Appeals circula.
ton has over-reached 100000
and its influence is felt all
over the globe. It is publish
ed by j. A. Wayland whose
life has been devoted to the
great work of bringing the
machinery of the government
into the hands of the masses,
through persistent education.
There was a time when his
ideas were entertained by
very few people and the great
majority of them do not yet
endorse, or rather do not un-
derstand or seemingly do not
care to learn what socialism
is, but the percentage of those
who are investigating the
subject has increased marvel
ously within the past few
years. The Appeal is a Won
derful educator and a con-
slant thorn to that class of
people who still cling to a
system of government which
recognizes the two elements
of society-master and ser
want.

The plans of the great pow
ers in the 6. o. p. in regard to
Kiowa township is to show
II. E. Glenn that It will not
do for him to represent
Kiowa township as it's COM
mitteeman. The Big 4 will
make him the nominee for
district clerk and in this way
they expect to shelve him
forever. Harry has worked
long in the republican ranks
and his only reward will be
an empty nomination and a
writ of custer from his politi-
cal position at home. After
election his political grip Will
be lost, his prestige gone and
those who now profess to be
his friends will forsake him.

Medicine Lodge to proceed to
carry out the program. The
south end is committed to his
