COLONEL BUNKER.
How Honor Proved Too Much for
Politics.

"Speakin' of politics. suh-speakin' of
politics after the wah." said Colonel
Bunker as he emDtied his glass and
leaned back in his chair, Il could have
been elected governor of this state by
sc, 900 majority except for having to
pause and defend my honah. I had
hosts of friends who hoped for my po-
litical advancement, and one day party
committee, headed by Judge Golden, APP
peared at my office, and the judge OBJ
served:
Colonel Bunker. the people of this
great and sovereign state love and adj
mire yo', sub, and wish to make yo'
governor. Yo' are a modest, retiring
citizen, sub, as becomes a brave and
gallant man, but we trust yo' will
please and crafty the people by ac-
cepting the nomination hereby rendered
to yo'.'
That's what the judge said, sub, and
though his words were few they brought
tears to my eyes. 1t was powerful
surprise to me. and it was some time
befo' I could control my emotions. When
1 had succeeded said to him:
Judge Golden, I never did care for
office, and I am satisfied to rest on my
record as soldier. but if the people of
this state are calling to me, sub. must
obey. If 1 am elected to the high and
honorable office will do my best to re-
tain the love and affection of those who
honah me-
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1903-09-15

THAT was the way it happened, sub"
continued the colonel. land it is need
less to add that my tears mingled with
the cocktail drank with the judge befo'
he departed.
"A few days later my nomination fol-
lowed and the die was cast. Yes, sub,
was nominated by reclamation. and
for a time the other party hesitated
about making a nomination in oppoS1-
ton. 1t was so clear that had walk
over and would ride in on the wave that
they were reluctant to make move
However. they at length decided to put
out a ticket, and after a great deal of
persuasion an unknown persOn-an I'M
known person way off in swamp coun-
TWAS induced to sacrifice himself.
While he was such a cipher, sub, that IT
wasn't deemed necessary for me to
make a campaign, 1 deemed it best to
prepare few speeches and exhibit my
self to the enthusiastic and adoring peo-
pie.
Il carried my speeches and I carried
the people. 1t was said in the papers
that 1 was the popular idol. and thas
my remarks were received with hurr1-
canes of Notwithstanding less than
hurricanes After some oS the meet
ings the adoring populace lifted me upon
their shoulders and bore me about In
triumph, suh-in triumph. The oppo-
sition was silent until the camRaign
fully opened, and then they blazed
forth like q battery suddenly un-
masked. There was innuendo, falsehood
and vitupera ton by the barrel, and Tor
a moment 1 felt appalled,.
mot that they could truthfully as
perse my record. sub, but they resort
ed to the basest lying and the grossest
exaggeration. Can yo' credit it, sun,
that they tried to take from me the
honoh of leading my regiment in the
desperate charge at Gettysburg? Yes,
they did, suh-they shorely did-and
they even went further. One paper said
l was fo'teen miles in the rear at the
time, and another published a picture
of me sitting on the fence while my
brave boys were sweeping CALAMITY up
the slopes to die for the cause, Cad.
sub, but didn't my blood boil when
saw that pictured And they made
charges. suh-charges that was po-
litical schemer and a charlatan and dis
honest to the core, and that my theories
were the phantoms of an insane man.
II couldn't go ahead. subj couldn't
do it. Ny motives had been belied and
my honah impugned, and with the
Bunkers, suh-with the Bunkers from
time immemorial-honah has always
come first. I dropped the canvass to
preserve and protect my honah. 1 be-
gan at the head of the opposition. Per-
haps yo' remember of reading of the
sudden demise of an editor named
Gadsby in this state? 1 walked in on
him one day and quietly said
