ALL EYES on RENO
First Big Battle of Campaign
There Thursday.
Delegates viii Then Be Elected
to County Convention.
MORGAN VS.. TAYLOR.
Editor and Railroad Boards
Attorney in Fierce Contest.
Judge Benson Says Wyandotte
Is Pivot in Second.
MORGAN VS.. TAYLOR.

One of the big battles Of the political
campaign will be fought Thursday
afternoon and evening in Reno county.
At that time. the delegates will be
elected to the convention of March Il
which Will choose the representatives to
the state and congressional conven-
tons.
Tomorrow's battle will determine
whether the Morgan Ryker faction or
the Taylor George faction Will control
Reno county. and as in the last state
campaign. it Will go a long ways to-
ward showing the strength Of the all
roads, and the extent of the alleged
uprising against them. Reno is
again IN the Hme-Hght It is the key
to the situation.
There are no Reno county politicians
IN topeka today. They are all at home,
working like beavers. Carr Taylor
has not been in his office at the state
house for a week. He has been busy,
very busy. The whole strength Of the
rival factions has been concentrated in
his fierce struggle.
w. Y. Morgan was first in the field
this year He brought out Charles
Ftyker, q popular business man of the
county, for the Office af railroad com
missioner Ryker is an ex-county
treasurer. and his candidacy was en-
dorsed by petition containing the
names Of $50 Hutchinson business men.
At that time 1t was supposed that J. S.
George would not be a candidate.
This action by the Morgan faction
stirred up the old boss buster crowd,
and they decided that it would not do
to let Morgan get back in the saddle.
They proceeded to draft J. S. George
as their candidate. and all the old boss
buster lieutenants, aided by half a
dozen men who had been turned down
for postmaster through the influence OF
Morgan. set to work to defeat Ryker,
and give George the Reno county dele
cation. George is connected with one
of the Hutchinson wholesale grocery
houses, Is an expert rate man, and
headed the lobby which worked for the
passage Of the railroad bill at the last
session.
The call which has been issued for
the primaries to elect the delegates
Thursday states that they will be held
from to o'clock in the country pre-
cincts, and from 1880 to $40 in the
cities of Hutchinson and Nickerson.
The qualifications of voters are that he
shall be legal voter at the November
election, and a Republican.

Senator Aldrich, the astrte repre-:

of Standard Oil and kindred in
terests, overreached himself last
week, when he got the committee
on interstate commerce to designate
Senator Tillman as the member of
the committee to report the railroad
rate bill to tho Senate. The honor
properly belonged to Senator Dolli-
yer, and had senatorial courtesy
prevailed Dolliver would have been
selected, but Aldrich was mad clear

CONCENTRATION OF RICHES;
A Menace to The United States in
Opinion Of Cleveland
Moffett.

Menecing. tho United States, in
the opinion OF Cleveland Moffett,
is tho spectre OF a not far distant
day. when all the wealth will be
owed by two or three men. In a
series of articles on 1.-THE Shameful
Misuse of Wealth." which are ap.
pearing in Success magazine, he
sounds a warning on 1.-THE Concen'
tration of Riches" and from this
article tho following extracts are
taken:
"Persia persisted when per cent OF
the people owned all the land.
Egypt went down when 2 per cent
owned ninety seven hunde dths Of
all the wealth. Babylon died when
2 per cent, owned all the wealth,
and Rome expired when 1870 men
possessed the known world. =

is increasing at prodigious rate;
Josiah Strong, in his Social Pro,

nearly two thirds of this increase
goes to swell the possessions OF
those who are already rich.
Al showing the rapid growth OF
individual fortunes in this country,
there is interest in a list OF rich

in. 1856, according to which New
