campaign in Kansas. Everything
points to q glorious Republican vic
tory all along the line, and as the
fight has opened early. and will long
continue, we want to see the accoutre-
ments all FURNISHED and shining, and
every Republican officer aud private
doing his full duty.
"We bring you tidings today of the
man we want to place before this con-
vention for your consideration, and
in presenting his name it is great
satisfaction and pleasure to be able to
present the kind OF man that we
shall bring before you; a man whom
we have known and watched for the
last twenty years; man who has
made his own way from nothing to
proud position among his business
associates and friends and neighbors.
He has won his business and political
battles through the sheer force OF his
character. II there lie one political
sin more than another that he does
not condone, it is the negligence Of a
Republican who fails to attend the
caucus, the primary and the ballot
box.
"In his Republication there has
been no shadow OF turning and no
faint but it is stanch, firm and un-.
yielding. He has never lost politi-
cal battle. He has never baked nor
bolted Republican candidate but has
always pulled with the traces taut.
We are here TO tell you today that we
have prophet who is not without
honor in his own country We have
a msniu whose judgment, integrity
and ability we are willing to trust the
high office Of senator, and will guar
antee to you that when his labors
have been ended there will be no
touch Of Pringleism In his record.
He stands four square to every wind
that blows. He has always during
his business life had large dealings
with farmers. He understands their
needs and their wants, and will see
that SO far as is in his power they
shall receive suitable attention ana
recognition. He represents the home
in its purity, the business man in the
best sense, the citizen in broad way.
and is Christian gentleman. What
ever exigencies or crises may arise
during bis tenure II office those who
have known him longest will trust
him iarthest to do what is right, to
do what is just, to do what is honest.
With great pleasure, therefore, we
place in nomination for the 22nd
