THE Populist committee of the Sew.
enth congressional district meets at
Wichita, August II, at which time and
place it IS supposed that something will
be agreed on concerning the rival can
dIdacy of Campbell and Duval. 1t is
not probable that the proposition made
by Mr.. Duval to rest his case with that
committee will be at all considered.
We doubt, that if that committee should
decide against him, that even then he
would withdraw from the race. There
is an evident insincerity in his proposal
which tends to show that he does not
really think that the Populist commit
tee will assume the responsibility of
deciding that he shall get off the ticket,
leaving Mr.. Campbell on. Mr.. Duval
is daluding himself with the belief that
he is the choice of majority of the
POpulists, whereas, our information
constrains us to doubt If he is the choice
of even a majority of democratic voters
of the district. The fact is, Mr.. Camp
BELLS proposition. that both withdraw
and the question be relegated to the
voters, was the only fair one yet SUBJ
mitted. by his refusal to agree to this,
the democratic candidate is directly
contributing to Mr.. Longs election,
and he is digging, his own political
grave.-La Crosse Chieftain.

JUST AN INCIDENT.

La the Kansas City Journal, rcpubli-
can, of July 18th, was three column
illustrated article on the slave produc-
ton of coffee IN the Sulu islands.
These islands are under the protection
OF this country and our flag floats over
them and the slaves. The XIIIth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States reads this way:
Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude, except for punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have
been duiy convicted, stall exist with
in the United States, OR IN ANY
PLACE SUBJECT. TO THEIR JU-
RISDICTION.''
Now my loyal friend, how are you
going to reconcile these conditions?
Slavery exists under the jurisdiction of
this country, and the grand old repub-
lican party controls the nation in ev-
cry department.. Who is trampliug
down the constitution? But the rich
and powerful can do no wrong against
the weak and helplessl-Appeal to
Reason.

It is said among republi-
can politicians that Bryan
has deserted the money ques.
ton. The trouble with the
average republican speaker
is that he seemingly can not
distinguish between grasping
new issues and solving them
in conjunction with old ones,
and DESERVING others. Bryan
has not deserted the financial
question. It is still an issue
and will be until it is settled
right. But in dealing with
this important Issue, Mr.. Bry-
an does not overlook the new
ones that have sprung up in
recent years. He is grasping
them all, and this is what has
excited our republican
friends.

.TheCresset has at last come
to the defense of the republi-
can commissioners on their
court house order. It says
that Commissioner Nay did
not understand that the
graduating exercises, previ-
ously referred to in these
columns, were county exer-
cises but thought they relat-
ed to Medicine Lodge schools.
Mr.. Nay had no reason to IN
derstand it this way. County
Superintendent Shell wrote
very plainly the exact nature
of the exercises fully advising
Mr.. Nay. Better admit that
the commissioners made a
mistake and were compelled
to rescind the order By over.

When the Populists went
out of power they left a full
treasury behind them, and a
small tax levy could easily
meet running expenses. A
few years of republican ex-
travagance, however, absorb
ed the surplus and high lev
les are again the order of the
day. This year the county
levy is % mills against 10

There isn't a single propo-
sition in the republican creed
of today which can commend
itself to a fair minded man
who at heart favors a demo.
cratic form of government.
The foreign policy of the adj
ministration can not be in
favor with anyone who op-
poses monarchy, and it's do
nestle policy is clearly op-
posed to the tenets of the
Declaration of Independence.
On the question of finance
the party is outspoken in fav-
or of the capitalist as against
the producer, and trusts are
openly upheld. The Ameri-
can people can not afford to
perpetuate this condition of
things.

Populists and democrats
who contemplate voting the
republican ticket this year,
if there are any such, ought
to consider the matter care
fully. J. r. Burton who is

For Congress eth District,
1. P. CAMPBELL,
of Scdgwick county.

THE republican commissioners have
gotten themselves into cavity on that
$3.50 clerk hire proposition, and the
more they try to get out the farther
they get in. The county clerk informs
us that the voucher on which the al.
lowance was made, stipulates clearly
that it Is for clerk hire for the proceed
ing year and there is no getting around
1t. But even If the version of the COM
missioners is correct, they had no right
to allow it because the law is plainly
against them.

Although Senator A. J. Tt
tus was not renominated in
the conventions here last
week, his work in a critical
hour has made him the idol
of the people of the district.
To show the high esteem in
which his party held him, the
convention after he withdrew
from the race, gave him "a
unanimous endorsement and
adopted an oral resolution
saying that he was the choice
of the convention and that
the delegates only refrained
from nominating him at his
earnest request and because
the democrat convention by
a small majority would not
consent to also nominate him.
The contest has made Mr.. Ii
tus greater man in, the esti-
nation of the people thanever
before and the personal sacri-
fee which he made in the
interest of success and to
avoid possible friction dem.
Onstrates that he is a states.
man with very few equals.

Hon. Andrew J. Titus will
fill one of the most exalted
positions in the state of Kan.

The past week has developed consid-
cradle opposition to the denomination
Of County Attorney Griffin. and IL the
convention were not so near at hand he
would surely be turned down. There
are great many objections urged to his
candidacy, but the thing that has done
the most to bring him into disrepute
among the republicans OF the county
il his undying opposition to Fred Ellis.
When it was first learned that Fred
was candidate for state senator Mr..
Griffin quietly secured a proxy from a
Barber county delsgate and when the
senatorial convention was about to be
held he made the fact known and he
was not particular about concealing his
intention 70 fight Ellis to . finish. The
fact that Griffin had a knife up his
sleeve probably had something to do
with Fred's Withdrawing from the race
and now Griffin is very busy explaining
matters. It is said that Ellis had the
united support OF the party In this
county and Griffin's crowdin9 himself

of lighting the party IS choice, when the
convention had previously elected both

Capt. Harris underestimate the

In the same proportion he exag-
