convention is seems that Gov. Bailey
wants his fences all fixed before the farm

Topeka Capital: The first time q man
reads the Lawrence Gazette, he thinks he
knows where the paper is at" The
second time he begins 10 doubt it, and
after the third time it is simply a dull

That tickled Topeka, Of course. Then it

Globe comes back by saying that there
IS some talk Of impeaching Jim Christian
because he went of on the free silver
craze. The fact is that if 4 had not been

Chisholm and other Atchison county Re

for Kansas City after the county convea-
t!on, that year and joined in a telegram
10 Case Broderick. asking him to vote
for the free silver bill. Bro3erick did
not DO it. and Chisham. with the others
who Were with him. have been trying to
