The Bryan Notification at Topeka Last
Week.

Is usual on occasions Of this kind Re-
publican papers have much to say OF
frost and failure. We sat on the plat
form and saw the audience and listened
to the exercises. For two hours or more
an audience of 1000 or 5000 people stood
in the blazing sun of one of the hottest
afternoons of this summer and frequently
cheered long and loud and gave every
possible evidence of interest and appreci-
alton of the speakers and Of the occa-
sion. No Republican, not even Presi-
dent Mckinley, could draw such an
audience under such conditions. It is
the old story told in 'e2 and in 'es Of the
lack of interest and death Of Populism.
The meeting was all and more than could
reasonably have been expected in view
of the fact that so many Kansans have
been given so frequent opportunities tc
hear Bryan recently and the disagreeable
travelling and evident effort on the part
# the railroad companies to prevent 6
good attendance. Bryan's speech i:

Ready 10 Withdraw.

Further comment on TIE official con-
duct of J. NJ. Ready, county attorney, is
withheld this week on account Of a well
authenticated rumor that the managers
of the Republican county organization
will have him Withdraw from the ticket
and make new nomination, on account
of the fact that his presence on the ticket
is likely to defeat the entire ticket.
While the presence Of Ready's name on
the Republican ticket makes fusion vic
tory much more certain, we are so much
interested in the county's welfare that
we are anxious to avoid such menace
to public morals and decency, and we
hope the report is correct.
It would probably be done at once, but
one Of the nominees, Mr.. James Law.
renee, is absent and won't return till
next week. His counsel is desired, but
if he is against Ready's withdrawal hi:
opposition will probably not be sufficient
to outweigh the wiser counsel Of Other
leaders.
There is no politics in our fight OF
Ready. We oppose him because he is 9
dishonest and corrupt official We shall
be glad to see him off the ticket, so that
we can have decent and clean contest

out by the Kansas City Journal and cop
led by some other "me too" sheets was
one few days since to the effect that
the editor Of this paper had been prom
ised the presidency of the state normal
school in case Breidenthal is elected.
Three years ago President Fairchild
was removed from the agricultural COL
lege. We approved of it because he was
not the man for the place. At that time
the newspapers started the report that
we was to succeed President Taylor. Our
answer to all inquiries was the same then
as it will be now; that no man should be
removed from any educational institu-
ton for political reasons; that no better
man for the position he holds could be
found in the United States than Presi-
dent Taylor and that he should be re-
tanned. John Breidenthal has no prom
iSeS out to us nor any one else for any
position, and is too sensible to make

We demand the enaction of new legis-

theory of equal taxation to all, whether
rich or poor, and to that end We demand
that laws be passed by the legislature
which will tend to the publicity of the
personal property assessments OF the in

something similar to the Illinois plan,
which requires the assessor of each town.
