BRlSTOW SPEAKS.
Says Kelly Matter Shame and Sorrow
of Kansas.

General Joseph L. Bristow, the
fourth assistant postmaster general,
who was commended so highly by
President Roosevelt for his great work
in exposing corrupt postoffice officials,
many of whom were Republicans. is
in Kansas. He is at Salina, where
he owns a paper. the Salina Evening
Journal, which printed last night an
editorial under the heading of THE
Case of Tom Kelly" Mr.. Bristow
apparently wrote this editorial him
self; at any rate, he was right on the
ground at the time
Will the partisan Republican pa
pers of this state, which have been
lima Evening Journal (Dem) ?"
This is part of the editorial in Gen
eral Bristow's paper:
The Republican party stands today
in critical position. Thomas T. Kelly,
whom the Republicans of Kansas have
twice nominated for state treasurer and
once elected, is accused of being thief.
He is accused of stealing from the
state treasury, of looting the treasury
he has sworn to guard and protect, and
it is to the shame and sorrow of every
citizen of Kansas that the evidence so
far points to his guilt
Two years 1870 Tom Kelly was nom
mated for state treasurer while ugly
charges of malfeasance in office were
openly made. Kelly said at that time
that he was not guilty and although he
ran behind his ticket in practically ev-
cry county in the state, losing his own
county of Miami by nearly thousand
while Bailey carried 1t by nearly two
hundred, he was elected.
The Republican party, therefore, ac-
cepted his sta tement as to his innocence
ofthe wrong doing alleged and gave him
an opportunity to show that the conf
dence of his friends in his honesty
was not misplaced. Instead of doing
this the evidence is now fast accumu-
lating which shows that Kelly had
hardly taken possession Of the treas
urer's office before he commenced his
populations.
Kelly is charging that the investiga-
ton of his office was prompted by fac
tional hate. but that is not the question
in which the people are now interested
NE. Kelly can not answer these charges
by attacking his political enemies. In
ordering an investigation of that office
and every office in the state house
Governor Bailey but did his duty and
for which the people regardless of fac
tions will and do commend him. There
can be no excuse for official dishonesty
and the knife should purge the party of
corruption no matter who may suffer
Mr. Kelly owes 1t to the Republican
party and his own political friends to
Immediately explain these shortages In
