Them arniRists havin had gpd suck
sess In KILN the buk trust andrupin
oph the insurance companies, .&l
! attacked the railroads and telegraph
wires. But they had BIC undertaken
this time as tha had attacked monster
. giants. An then our ielers turned In
an helpt the ralerodes 30 tha hammered
and pounded and trot out their big
guns and went ut EN- again and again,
but awl tn no purpose 40 our lellers
stood firm tn the ralerOds and telegraf
wires until II cum time u ad(urn, 80
we thot we had beet them, but not yIt
That tritln geyenor went and called
them fellers together agin and tina did
suckseed in passln a law that crippled
the ralerodes and telegraph wires aw
ful bad. Yes sir, them arnikists, al
wais intent ON murder, d d the rale-
rodes CRATE injury jst becaws tha thot
tha awt tn charge what ever tina
pleesed fur nswIln the pharmlrs pro-
duce, But II wuz buliful the wa our
phederal coart nOeked out their law
not long since. 1t tickles our leadin
men an our ralerOde men, H. sa our
ralerode men beCaws the leedin oLes
all belong to our parli, TO think that
Kansas don't have any ralerode law
now. The moast OF our leedin men
wud liEs u sAyeiCle& ii0t as it ib,6gt
think il tha hoald the power lba will
haf to pass sum kind of Il law to ap-
peese the cattle shippers and Others Of
our oan parti who think that the rale-
rodes and telegIaf wires want more
than their share of labors weith.
But then kin assure yu that our
benevolent payti will not pass a law
that will burt the ralerodeB and teIe-
graf wires any.
Wal, the election of 1898 wuG DRAWN
nj an our deer ole psrti wuE in a strale
betwiXt three. or coarse we node We
cudnt pretent to want leTOde law
after the atltood we had held in the
last legislature. Ii we cud git what
was moan as the prohibition parti voat
we cud elect our man provided we cud
hold the whisky v0at but since Morrill,
had failed to enforce the whlskey law
after 80 many fare promises the pro-
hibshunsts were little suspishus an
II wuz doubtful # we cud carry boJn
sides espeshelly as the prohibs lean to
ward the populists on the finance ques-
iI ton. The democrats have alwais Op
.posed the whlske law on the G,cunds
Of personal liberty and The populists
haven't taken much interest in the
EGuestion as tha don't have any mummy
to by speerIts with amy wa. But our
smart men are alwais equal to the 0e-
Cashun 80 tha discovered Brother Stan
ley.a CRATE Sandy sehal man, aN he
wuz nominated without much tra5nle
We spose that The pr0hihs and preeob-
ers wnd jist tumble over each luther to
git to,vOat fur Bro. Stanley, but NOT
jista little bit. Tha jist Wudnt aguee
to WoatSnr him Ill he Gun out fare and
square and promised 10 eGfoarce the
licker law If he wuz elected SU he
he'd to ,pr0inis. 1t did look TOO bad "
maik him do It an he $ ch gud man,
too. Well Eu no the rezult of the cleo
shun. That boath sides vOated fur
him and he W1lz elected an not only he
but we suokseeded in KILN that Jerry
Simpson again or as our fellerS thot
tha he'd killed him, but hev been
watchn the old skinner an he aint ded
a tawl. Lie tell yu about him III mi
next. In the mean time don't yu let
any of them arniksts indooce yu 10
jine them.
YURE UNKUL BEN.
