PROSPEROUS SOUTH
Likely To Give the Bryanite
Party Some Surprises,
Without Changing
GesuIts.

| A> kSoSA "a prosperous ooVS
never been better illustrated than in
the iusncial condition of the various
political parties. While not exactly
embarrassed by riches, repu blicans
| and democrats alike are better fixed
this year than ever before.
Even the populists are reported to
have plenty of funds for their party
machine, and 1t Is claimed that they
have more money really than the dem
ocrats have. It is estimated that the
populis.s OF Kansas alone have between
fifteen and twenty thousand dollars in
their treasury. The Kansas populists
will conduct their campaign this year
from Topeka, and the democrats vita
an utter disregard for any
feeling OF brotherly love. have
moved TO Kansas City and
pitched their tepees. The republican
organs of Kansas seem 20 think tha.
the democrats want to get from under
the one man power of Little Annie
Diggs, who rules the fusionis,s of Kau
sas, but this may be only an underhard
method of the republican papers to
spread disorder and lack of harmony
among the popo democratic.
IN JERRY SIMPSON DISTRICT.
The populists 10 the seventh Kansas
district, where Jerry Simpson ran for
congress several simes, have nominat-
ed q nan named 1. p. Campbell for
congress. The democrats have named
Q man named Claude Duvsl, but they
are expected soon to haul him of, al
the populisss claim, with charac.eris-
tic log that democrat could not get
one-third of their votes In the district,
while the democrats are all expected
to vote for Campbell. Representa-.
tive ChesterI L. Long, q member of the
ways and means committee, is again
the republican nominee. He beat
Jerry Simpsoa by l 800 votes two years
ago, with a complete fusion, but great
many Of the fusionis,s stayed 1t home
at that election.
THINGS IN TENNESSEE.
Judge Henry r. Gibson, represent.
Ing the Knoxville district of Tennessee
Ia the house of representatives,b believes
that Tennessee will give Mr.. Mckinley
at least 10000 ms ,rity, provided the
democrats allow every adult Tennessee
IN to vote as ne wishes and then count
the votes.
THE democrats want government
by the consent of the governea' in the
Philippines and Porto Rico," Judge
Gibson is quoted as saying, in Q
Washington newspaper, '.but they
have 20 use for it in Tennessee or
other southern states.' The Judge
nessee will remain IS it is now. eight
democrats aud two republicans.
DISFRANCHIsEMENT IN NORTH CARO-
LIMA.
The experiment of disfranchisemeut
of the colored voter in North Carolina
is being watched closely In every south
ern state. Strange though it may
seem, it is believed by q number of far
sseiog and deep thinking politicians,
| that the acknowledgements of the negro
| Will result in the "solid south" being
broken. Tkey argue that many.of the
democrats in the south have voted that
| tic1et IL fiuenced more by eocial than
by political ressons. 1.-THE whites. of
the south have felt that they must pro-
te;t their. homes at all costs and in
keeping down tie donnie alton OF the
negro they have swelled the demo-
cratic national vote. Now that the
negro is out CT politics for the time
being iu North Caroliua and many
other southern states, the white popu-
alton can take Issue On the salient
| q aes tions, without fear Of the negro
gaining any advantage. By this IL is
believed the sentiments If the south
ern psOpie can be aoproa imately learn.
