THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

The state campaign may now be
considered on. The line of battle |
is clearly drawn between the DEM
ocratic and republican parties. So
far as we'll defined issues are con-
cerned, there is not much difference /
between the two parties in many |
respects. The republicans have
come to the democratic doctrine on
the tariff question, by favoring the
repeal of the tariff on all trust
made goods as one of the best rem
edies for the extortion now pract-
iced on our own people, by adding
the amount of the tariff to the price
of their goods. This is a platform
declaration that the democrats were
right. Most OF the balance of the
republican state platform is devoted
to condemnation of the democratic
administration. This, then, seems
to be the issue on which the repub-
licans wish to make the fight 1t
seems to us the democrats are in
position that gives them by all odds
the best of the argument They
will be the gamers by comparison
of state administrations.
The republicans turned control
of the state over to the democrats
in 1896, leaving them as a legacy
a floating debt of several hundred
thousand dollars; state warrants
were at a discount of 10 per cent;
the rate Of taxation was S. cents
on the 500; school funds were de-
posted in favored banks and officers
drew interest on the balances; no
rentals were being received from
state lands; the system Of state
land selections was primitive and
valuable lands were passing forever
from the state by the laxness of the
officials. These were the condi-
ton existing when the democrats
took control OF the state.
The democratic administration
injected new life and business meth
DDS into state affairs, and conditions
began TO improve Immediately.
There has been a continuous i'm
provement until the present time
and we now find state warrants at
par; the floating debt has been
wiped out;-SIoo, 900 of it, left as
a reminder of republican rule, hav-
ing been paid off by an appropri-
alton of the last legislature-school
funds are being invested in state
and school district bonds, thus say.
ing the interest to the public; school
lands are being rented to individ,
uals and in this way several thous-
and dollars are annually added to
the school fund; taxes have been
reduced to IS cents on 500; bonds
issued under republican rule have
been refunded at lower rate of in
terest; state lands are being selected
under perfected system and CON
ditons generally are so much better
than under republican rule that we
see no reason for a change. The
comparison is most favorable to the
democrats and they are fortunate
in having the lines drawn on such
issues.
The denomination of Frank Hunt
for governor, with his excellent
record behind him as an evidence
of what his reelection promises fol
the future, is long card for the
democratic ticket and the republi
cans will not succeed in mastering
enough votes to defeat it. Let the
campaign be made along these lines
and the result will be a democratic
victory.

voting his entire time to IL for l3 months,
Peters captured him and brought him
back TO Kansas, where he was wanted on
the specific charge of robbing the post
