Ryan and His Office Boy.

Judge Watts continued his remarks and
said of Ryan that not only did he veX
the s. a. l.. people, but the general pub
lie as we'll and that he had also veXed
the courts by is or Il suits: that Ryan's
proceedings had made him a laughing
stock and Il guy and butt of ridcule in
Wall street; that he sought to Obstruct
the rights OF all those who will not join
with him in his attempt to prevent con-
SelidatiOn: that his whole policy and that
of those for whom he acts is deStmlCtive
that the whole Ryan fight is n hollow
sham and fraud upon the people: that
he was tired of these attacks by Ryan
and his workers upon the officers and di-
reCtCrs; that Ryan had no regard for the
character of geGtlemen: first attacking
X. G. Hoffman. then Middendorf. then
Williams. and rejecting upon all: that
the time had come to slap such infamous,
such outrageous conduct: that the char
acter ard acts Of honorable men are inn
pugned by men who arc trying to pose ag
gual'ianS Of The people; that the New

Ryan got from the State Trust Company
Of New York S2.0G0.000 through Dan

authority: there he read extracts from

rowed the money through his office boy
ard in direct violation OF the New York
laws: that the New York World says 50
as woll as the Herald; that it is conS.d-
cred money borrowed for Ryan; that it
is said the trust company can he put

BREIDENTHAL As A SOCIALIST.

II Mr.. Breidenthal we're running for
governor on ticket denominated
Socialist" would you vote for HIM?
Well, why should you vote for him
on ticket called "Populist" when
he is as a matter of fact a Socialist
In his speeches during this campaign
Mr.. Breidenthal Unexpectedly ly avowed
himself a Socialist. And even If he
had made no such avowal, his record
woud d plainly show it, He has for
years been connected with some
Socialistic society.
The most noted Socialistic venture
ever made in Kansas, the Topolobam-
pc colonizing scheme, was organized
by him, and brought disaster to hun
dreds of farmers who went into it; he
also assisted in Mrs. Diggs'
Socialistic scheme in the San Luis
valley. He has been editor of the
Integral Co-operator, a Socialistic
paper.
And now the question is; Do you
want Socialist governor of Kansas?
AS governor Mr.. Breidenthal would
have the power, under the new amend
ment to the Constitution, TO appoint
four judges of the supreme court of
Kansas. Are we ready to introduce a
Socialistic propaganda into the su-
preme court of the State?
Mr.. Breidenthal as governor, would
have the appointment of the board of
regents of the agricultural college; are
we ready to reintroduce into the agri-
cultural college ofthis Statea Socialist
ic propaganda, which, aftor two years
of struggle and effort, has just been
eliminated from that institution?
Mr.. Breideuthal, as governor, would
have the appointment of the board of
regents of the State University, of the
board ofregents ofthe Normal College,
and would have the appointment of
all the heads of departments in Kan
sas. With his rabid ideas, he would
make Kansas hotbed of rampant
Socialism.
Are we ready for that?

Senator Spooner's speech at Elgin.

for its apt characterization of the OPP

following sentence:
"He has accepted the nomination of

THE records of the defunct bank at
Yates Center show that Mr.. Breiden-
thai wrote them Immediately after they
began business that they had not com
piled with the law and that they must
do SO at once or he would close them
up. He wrote several letters OF this
kind, but he did not carry out his
threat until the bank had accumulat-
ed $1,000 of other peoples money.
And then NJ. Breidenthal did what he
ought to havedone in the beginning, -
closed the doors after the money was

To Bryan's principal reason why
Mr.. Mckinley should not be re-elect-
ed-namely: that he is opposed to the
Constitution and the Declaration of
Independence, and that in case of his
success we should no longer live in
republic, the Senator said:
Before President Mckinley reached
the age of manhood, when Abraham
Lincoln called on all able bodied men
to rally around the flag, in the defense
of the Union, he turned his back on
father, mother and home. and forthree
years offered MS life. Who can offer
more? For what? That the republic
might live forever"
Senator Spooner is not inclined to
blame Bryan for not having heard
that the bill for increasing the army
is only temporary in its operations
and that three months after McKin-
ley's Inauguration it is to be mustered
out without further legislation,

VERNON MADE A HIT
He Enthused Packed House by
Witty and Forcible Discussion of
the Situation

speaking of the meeting at the Opera |
House last Thu lay
Those few words come about as
near expressing the sentiment of the
entire crowd as anything that could !
be said. AT least five hundred people
attended the meeting and with the
possible exception of one or two all
went away pleased. OF course the
crowd were nearly all Republicans
but even the Pops and Democrats who
attended were satisfied because the
speaker did not abuse anyone, but he
did plead with his colored brethren to
get in line with the party that has been
their friend for fifty years. He spoke
to them from his heart, it was a love
feast as he called it to be able to ad-
dress so large number of his race.
He spoke for two hours and a half
and his address was so intelligent. so
comprehensive that the number who
left the meeting was so small as to
make no disturbance whatever. The
colored people should be proud of
| Prof. Vernon. proud of one of their
number who has studied and educated
him, elf so as to be able to stand up
before an intelligent audience and dis
cuss the issues of the day in so intelli-
gent a manner.
The meeting was opened by music
by the colored glee club after which
| I,sttth So, .n1n,t M A
Savage introduced Prof. Vernon who
was received with cheers.
He opened his speech by paying a
tribute to ex-Congressman Funston
and General Fred Funston, saying he
was proud to be able to speak to
community which had produced such
men. He then took up three men
whom he considers the great char
acters in American history, Washing
ton, Lincoln and President Mckinley.
He told of McKinley's record in the
civil war, how he first came into
prominence and reviewed his life up
to the present time. The great pros
iperity Of the country today was COM
pared to that under Mr., Cleveland ;
administration and the contrast made
50 plain that it was not hard for any
one to understand. He said that Mr..
Cleveland produced greater stand
