1t has been charged in some of the
papers in the eastern part Of the
state, that Mr.. Keefer, the populist
nominee for governor, was a candi-
date only in the interest of the Re.
publican ticket. This has been prov
en- to us the past week by the fact
that the chairman of the Republican
county committee of this county has
received for distribution a 40 pound
package of literature sent out by the
chairman of fthe populist state central
committee. The literature is entitled
an address to the voters Of Kansas,
and is made up Of Mr.. Keefer's letter
of acceptance, and the state plat.
form. If the Republicans are max.
ing their campaign on that platform,
they have changed front entirely.
However, it is not necessary to say
anything, as all who have been watch
ing the Hannah-Keefer crowd, know
what their movement was for, and
this instance but proves our con.
tention.

a cold drizzling rain, the opera

brought II large delegation from
the north side of the county.
There being also representatives
from every other part of the
county, some of the people having
driven ten and fifteen miles
through the mud to hear the
speech.
Senator Harris spoke for nearly
two hours and received the close
and intere 'ted attention of the
large audience. His speech was
logical, forceful and statesman
like throughout and the entire
audience was well pleased.

0. H. Trueman the 7th district

A River Packet Line.

Kansas City business men have
organized a Missouri River
Packet Company, with a capital
Of 100000. which will probably
be increased to s25O,OOO. The
company will start packet line
with a daily service of boats from
Kansas City south. The packet
line is expected to, and doubtless
will, bring about lower freight
rates to that city. and this should
also oe felt in Kanass. Anyway,
every Kansan wishes the river
packet line the success, it
deserves.

The Harris Smoker.

AS it was almost impossible for
any Of the people in the stores
and offices in this city to get
away to hear Colonel Harris at
the Opera House Wednesday
afternoon, it was arranged to hold
a smoker at the Commercial Club
that evening to give the town
peopl a chance to meet Mr.. Harris
and the other gentlemen with him
on this trip. Announcements
were given in the daily papers
and hand bills were scattered
around town inviting everybody
to come out and get acquainted
with the candidates for state
officers, and in response to these
invitations large number of the
business men and men employed
during the day, went to the Club
rOoIns.
There was no politics in the
gathering. While. of course,
politics were talked and discusse d
on the quiet, in groups of two to
a dozen people, the candidates did
not make any allusoin to what
they we're after in the short talks
they were called up to make.
Colonel Harris talked about the
difference in the appearance of
this section of the country when
he first saw it, some thirty-6ve
vars ago, and the present time.
He talked of the greatness of this
country in which we live, and
the necessity of good citizenship.
Hon. Patrick German, oil
Bourbon county. candidate fol-
state treasurer, told of some Of
his experiencesssin the early days
in Kansas. Rev. O. H. Truman,

Congressman from the Seventh
district. made an interesting talk.
E. R. Moses of this city alsC
made a short but very impressiv,
speech on the subject of goot
citizenship before the close of th,
meeting.
Taken all together. it was a YER,
enjoyable occasion. and everyon,
who heard the talks we're vel
pleased with them.
A gentleman who b card Mr.

planation of the Katy suit tina
made the statement that tn
same was misreprese nted. H
said the railroad company brough
the suit. True, but they couI
not bring the suit without tn
consent of the governor of th
state and in the name of the stat
of Kansas. Hence Mr.. Harri.
remarks were correct and th
arguments he has made have bee
