No, Jonathan, We can't say that
we regard it any great honor to be
so very popular with both the Re-
publican and Democrat parties that
either of these great political organi-
cations will almost fall over each
other in their efforts to nominate
you for Office. We are strong be-
lever in party loyalty-in nominal
ing good, clean, competent men to
office and sticking to them until the
polls close on the evening of cleo
ton. We never did take much stock
in republicanism or democracy of
that man who is just as mnch at
home in one party as the other.
Both party organizations cannot be
wholly right, nor wholly wrong, but
it is quite certain that one can be
nearer right than the other. And
now, my brother Jonathan, the thing
to do in battle is, show your colors,
unfurl your flag, rally around your
standard good and strong. Don't
be chump by harborlng the idea
that there should be no politics
in township or county affairs. The
party cannot have healthy COM
plexion and be real robust unless
there is good rich blood coursing
through it from it's head down to
its toes.
The above appeared in the Globe
of last week, and we are at loss to
know what Frank is driving at. Mr
Fuhr suggests that someone who is
a candidate for Office is soliciting
aid from the opposite party. Now.
we do not know whom hearefers to
nor do we care very much. 1t has
not been SO long ago since Mr.. Fuhr
openly bolted the candidates of the
Republican party and supported the
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1904-08-25

opposition. Now We do not want
to be compelled to go back and dig
up any old skeletons, but We can
and win dolso if Frank persists in
many more such remarks as the
above. Up to the time Mr.. Fuhr
was appointed postmaster, he was
known as mugwump and it comes
with mighty poor grace for him to
preach party loyalty. There are
many democrats and republicans in
Meade County who have justas high
a regard for party loyalty and honor
as Mr.. Fuhr has, and they do not
need the advice of one who has
just, since his term of Office began,
been SO loud in his demand foI
party loyalty.

Gus desperadoes evolved. They
haven't any more sense than to take
long chances. and IL fortune favors
them at the start, they learn some
tricks Of the trade from experience
aud soon develop into what they
aspire to be. The gang that, in the

treasure coaches from the Black

Kansas and failed to get gold from
