POLITICAL GOSSIP.


Continued from Fist FdSeJ
| j. NJ. Clay, for many years leading
Populist of Chase county, has Joined the
Republicans. He was recently re-elect-
| ed secretary of the Chase county Pop
ulist central committee but he declines
| the place and takes occasion to an
nounce his change to the Republicans
| In q letter to E. Bruce johnson, chair
man of the Chase county committee, ne
says:
The Peoples party has gone out of
| existence. It is choice between the
anti-isms and pessimisms of Democracy
by the Republicans. There is only one
choice for the true Poou1ist to make,
join tie Republicans and stand for
something. You'd it not be the most
sensible thing for you to join with me
in the Republican ranks and help
strengthen the hands of our president.

It was hoped that the drubbing which
c. H. Luling, Republican candidate for
superintendent of insurance, received as
a result of his Concordia escapade early
EAST spring, would be sufficient lesson
to him that he would desist from sucn
things in the future. but if the story
which is told by the Wellington Voice
is correct he has not profted by the
lesson. The Voice says that while Mr..
Luling was in Wellington one day last
week on his way to attend an old sol
diers' reunion at Caldwell che was SO
drunk that he could not walk alone. He
missed his train and made a spectacle
of himself generally" If this is correct
it will be the second instance of the
kind on record since Mr. Luling became
candidate for superintendent of insur
ance.
BeIoit Call: The Republicans of
Mitchell county went out OF their way
on Saturday to endorse the nomination
of T. T. Kelly, for state treasurer. They
allowed this smooth duck to come down
to Beloit. and in conjunction with the
men who run the political affairs of the
county, OF attempt to-. get an endorse
ment pushed through in their conven-
ton, that he utterly failed of receiving
in his own county and from men among
whom he has lived, and with whom he
has associated for years. Why is it that
he has been given such a good send off
from a community that ought to feel
proud at one of its members having had
conferred on him the nomination for the
honorable and exalted position of treas
urer of the state of Kansas?
The Walnut Valley Times has taken
the name of c. H. Luling from its tick
ct.
The Howard Courant says: ''The
Z axx- md c a
straight Republican ticket, state, dis
trict and county. The Courant and its
editor, Tom Thompson, always support
the straight ticket. The State Journal
have bolted Kelly
Some time ago the Courant published
an editorial deploring Ke1ly's nominal
ton and questioning his integrity. So
far as the State Journal has seen it has
never published anything to the con-
trary, and for that reason it was in
cluded in the list of papers which are
against Kelly. But as the Courant de-
MES this, the State Journal ,cheerful1y
places it in the list of papers which is
willing to support an embezzler for
state treasurer.
Senator Harris reached New York sew
eral days ago on his return from his Eu-
ropean trip in the interest of the live stock
