Democrats, as I did. Why endorse
that party's policy, and refuse to bear
its name? Are you and they ashamed
of your new political associates? If
so, why? They are honorable men,
and it is an honorable party, whose
declared governmental policies 1 do
not subscribe to, that's ALL then why
are you and they ashamed of your new
political associates? 1 can under
with you and your associate insur-
gents, but why such should be ashamed
OF them, can not understand.
The Story of Jacob and Esau.
But in your and their efforts to be-
tray the Republican party, you are
not without inspiration from Holy
Writ We find there the deadly par
allel, in Genesis, where Rebecca sent
Jacob for the kid-goat skins, when,
dressing him in the tgoodly raiment'
of Esau. she put the skin on his
hands, and upon the smooth of his
neck, and thus appareled. Jacob went
upto his father, Isaac, who was old and
blind, and represented himself as his
elder brother Esau. But Isaac was
suspicious, as foretold by Jacob to his
mother, and said unto him: Come
near, pray thee, that I may feel thee,
my son, whether thou be my very son
Esau, or not
And Jacob went near unto Isaac
his father; and he felt him and said,
1.-The voice is Jacobs voice, but the
hands are the hands of Eseu.''
And he discerned him not, be-
cause his hands were hairy, as his
brother Esau's hands: So he blessed
him, whereby Esau was defrauded of
his inheritance.
"Ohl the shame of it ALL 1 will
leave you and your associate insur-
gents named to make the application.
TIA! Ia! John, am neither old nor
blind. Try your hairy goat skins on
those like unto Isaac, not young and
Virile Republicans like unto myself
To the Editor of the State Journal.
1 observe in the State Journal of day
before yesterday an article quoted from
the Leavenworth Times, in which there
Is very broad lntimation that the
straw vote that I have been taking
through the Mail and Breeze is a fake;
that am not giving the votes as they
have been sent in. I desire to say that
have the ballots as received, with the
names and addresses of the SenderS on
them and I would be very glad, indeed,
to have the editor of the State Jour
nal, or any of his assistants, if they
so desire, take the time to go through
these ballots and satisfy themselves as
to whether any statements I have
made are inaccurate.
The Leavenworth Times suggests
that I publish the names of those Vot-
ing. 1 would be perfectly willing to do
this, had L not agreed when I asked
for the vote that the names would not
be published, and while 1 think that a
large majority of those who sent in
their votes would be perfectly willing
that their names should be published
they have not authorized me to do So
and for me to publish their names
would be an act of bad faith How
ever, as have said 1 have the ballots
in the office and they are open for in
spection. 1 will now give the editor of
the Times another chance to be sur
prised.
Here are the questions:
1. Are you opposed to the rule of
Cannon in the lower house of congress
and of Aldrich in the senate?
2. Are you satisfied with the tariff
bill that was passed at the special ses-
sion of congress?
8. Do you approve of the course of
Senator Bristow in voting against the
tariff bill on it's final passage?
f. Do you approve of the course of
Congressman Murdoch and other So
| called insurgent congressman in at
tempting to change the present rules
| of the lower house of congress so as to
take the appointment Of committees
out of the hands of the speaker, pre-
vent him from being member of the
committee on rules and otherwise re-
strict his power?
| Total number of votes received and
counted up to yesterday noon to uues-
ton l was 2.738: in reply to Ques-
ton 2, 2.795; in reply to question 8,
2s705s In reply to question I, 2.74o
