WHAT THEY FOUND.
The Electric Light Situation at
Lincoln.

Indications are that when the Edison
franchise comes before the city council
there will be strong effort made TO get
the terms fixed so that they will AFFORD
more protection for the city. Some o@ the
members of the council are getting tired
of hearing themselves referred as as
franchise grabbers," and they may get
together and prevent the donation of an
other immensely valuable franchise with
out getting something in return.
Mayor Bergundthal and Councilman
William Green, who returned Wednesday
from Lincoln, find that the electric light
rate situation is decidedly competitive.
Mayor Bergundthal said today:
1.-The fact is that they charge man
anything they can get. They haven't any
schedule at all and no published rates.
The system of charges which was ex-
planned to us by the Edison company as
being in force there no longer applies.
The council granted the street railway
company the right to sell electric light,
and the result is that the merchants pay
whatever the companies think they can
get. The rates are very low, so low that
a large number of the stores use thou
sands of incandescent lights for ilIumi
mating the outside of their buildings, out
lining the walls as have done at the
Auditorium for the Midwinter exposition
All we were able to learn about the rates
was that they are very much lower than
they have ever been in Topeka and that it
is a case of every customer for himself
to get as good a rate as possible"

Mr.. HOCH AS BOLTER
e. Baxter of Marion Questions the
Fact of His Denial.

A dispatch from Leavenworth with
reference to f. w. Hoch's speech in
Leavenworth Tuesday night contains
the following:
Mr.. Hoch spoke for nearly two
hours. He took occasion to denounce
the Democrats for sending out I'M
truthful statements about him in cir
culars. He held I'D one of the clrcu-
lars in which he was portrayed as an
enemy of old soldiers. He denounced
it as false
The circular in question was one
which gave a number of instances in
which Mr.. Hoch bolted Republican
nominees, several of them being old
soldiers. Marion county people say
that it is true that Mr.. Hoch bolted as
is claimed. E. Baxter, who lives at
Marion and who is himself, an old sol
der, says he does not believe that Mr..
Hoch denied boiling, but meant to
deny that he was an enemy of old
soldiers, because it cannot be disputed
that he did bolt.
Il cannot believe that Mr.. Hoch
stated tina the did not bolt the Repub-
lican nominees mentioned in this cir
cular," said Mr.. Baxter today, be
cause Sam T. Howe, Judge Foote,
Judge Doster right here in Topeka re-
member all about it. 1t was a matter
of public notoriety at the times Mr..
Hoch bolted. I know myself that the
facts as stated in this circular are
true, so far as relates to Hoch's bolt
ing old soldiers, and do not believed
he denied them. 1 do not believe Mr..
Hoch personally is an enemy of the
old soldier, but it is a fact that he has
boIted.''
The instances cited in the circular
when Hoch bolted are as follows:
In 1879 Hoch bolted Colonel w. I.
Hoblitzell, Republican candidate for
county treasurer, who had been cap
tain of a company of Kentucky Union
soldiers, and was promoted to colonel
of volunteers for meritoriOus conduct.
In 1880, Hoch bolted Prof. d. H. Ran
dali, Republican nominee for county
superintendent, who was an old soldier
The same year he bolted G. c. Bailey,
Republican nominee for sheriff. I'm
ion veteran Hoch supported against
Bailey one T. L. Smith, a Morgan raid
er who had to have his disabilities re-
moved by the legislature before he
could qualify.
In 1888. Hoch bolted E. N. Eby,
Union veteran who was the RepuDn-
can nominee for register of deeds. AT
the same time he bolted the entire Re-
publican county ticket.
In 1887, Hoch bolted the late Judge
NJ P. Simpson, Republican nominee Tor
district judge, supporting Judge Frank
Doster, since then Populist chief JUS
tice of the supreme court.
In 1890, Hoch bolted ]. E. Gilbert, Re
publican nominee for representative,
who was a Union soldier and an ingalls,
man. Hoch supported the Populist
candidate who voted for PETER for
senator. That was the year of the
Populist uprising.

HERE'S ANOTHER STRAW
Adiutant of Fort Pillow Post Says
Negro Veterans Are Not for Kelly.
Here is another straw:

Here is another straw:
George r. Waters, past commander
and adjutant of Fort Pillow post. G..
A. r., says that only one of the forty
five members of that post will support
T. It. Kelly for state treasurer. The
one exception Colonel Waters does not
know about is Tolliver Bird. who is
one of the state house janitors.
Fort Pillow post is the G. A. r. or
ganization of Topeka colored old SOL
diers AS a matter of course all the
members are Republicans.
There are 70 members in the
post" said Colonel Waters today, land
I am positive that everyone of them
will vote against Kelly except Tolliver
Bird He works in the state house
and I am not sure about him"
People who know Tolliver Bird are
inclined to think that he Will not vote
for Kelly either, but for diplomatic
reasons it would not be wise for him
to say so. Some of the state house
ianitors are openly against Kelly, AND
it is said that the majority will vote
against him. although they do not
dare to say so openly.
