Great argument, that, which the
Republican press is making in
favor of Mr.. Simmons, whom the
Kansas City wholesalers say rs
one of us, and will look after our
interest" We refer to the argu-
ment that Mr.. Simmons should
be supported in preference to
Senator ShouSe, the Democratic
candidate, because he, Simmons,
has lived in Kansas longer than
Senator ShouSe a few years. Most
wonderful and convincing argu-
Anent, that. But as it is about all
the argument they have to put up
we do not much blame them for
making it and working it for all it
is worth-which is not much at
the market of enlightened opinion.
Senator ShouSe has never uttered
a word in disparagement of Mr..
Simmons. He has left it to the
latter to indulge in personalities.
AS to the ability and qualifica-
tions of the two gentlemen to fill
the important position of Con-
gresham from the big Seventh,
the voters who have seen and
heard the two of them can readily
Judge. And we believe they will
send a man to Congress because
of his ability to represent ALL OF
them, and not because he happen
ed to have lived the longest in
Kansas.

this spreading, that can be at
