Kansas Story.

Away back in the TO-" says Secre-
tary William Smith, of the railroad
commission, s'when the Greenback
party commenced to do business in
Kansas, there was a certain man up in
our county (MarshalD who was king
of the new party. He was working
hand in glove with the Democracy to
beat the Republican ticket in the
county. He was a wOrdy man and
could talk without intermission for
two or three hours at IL stretch. His
plan was to make date for IA NEE :
ing at Il certain school house and then
go about the neIghborhood and drum
up d crowd. For while things seem
ed TO he going his way. The Demo-
Gratis were pleased and finally issued a
challenge to the Republicans to nave
Il series of joint debates with this
champion OF GreenbackISm L hap
pened to think of story l had once
,'heard of an freshman who was camp
ing out along with some other parties
in the woods when his attention was
attracted by the singing OF a tree
toad. He went out to ascertain what
it was. but could see nothing After
awhile he came back and went to bed
without saying word. The other
members of the party asked the Irish
man what it was that was doing the
singing.
Nothing, answered the Irishman
'WeH, it must be something" said
the other men.
Il say that it's nothin'," reiterated
the IriSllman hac
burrd; it's jist Il dumd noise that's all. -
Well, L was selected to meet the
king of the Greenbackers first. He
was to open and close and 1 was to
come IN with my speech in the mid
die. After he had finished his OPEN
ing speech l got up and said that the
gentleman's speech reminded me of
the story of the freshman. Then
told the story and went on with Re-
publican speech / had prepared. but
made no further allusion to the Green
hackers speech. As / had not refer
red TO his speech, of course his second
speech was something of a failure.
The next night, according to arrange
ments, Calderhead was to meet him in
joint debate at another school house.
When the Greenbacker had finished
his first hours talk Calderhead got up
and said, 1.-The speech of the gentle
man reminds me of the story of the
Irishman and the tree toad. ;" and then
told the story. Then Calderhead went
on with his regular. speech and made
no further allusion. to the speech of
the Greenbacker. &
The next night a gentleman from
Frankfort was matched against the
Gfeenbacker at another school house.
When the Greenbacker had finished
his speech the gentleman from Frank
fort arose and said, 'sThe gen tIeman's
speech reminds me; of story of an
Irishman and tree toad that once
heard" and then he told the same
story but made no further allusion to
the speech of the Greenbacker.
The next night still another Repub-
lican speaker was matched against
the Greenbacker. at another school
house and he opened his speech with
the same remark that the. speech of
che Greenbacker reminded him OF the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1902-03-01
