to him. 1t was a matter of an hour or
so before the Democratic editor closed
the forms on his prediction issue. Dem
ocratic counsellors were summoned to
hurried caucus and it was concluded
to be unwise to take chances on the
arrival of the Hoosier." So an article
was hurriedly written, setting forth
Hackney's story of his impending ex-
posture but not giving the authority on
which the story was related, put in type
and hurried to press 1t did not occur
to anyone that Hackney would be SO
brazen as to deny the truth of story
he had told on himself.
Satisfied that his Democratic friend
had broken his promise to keep still,
Hackney hurriedly secured afidavits
from four or five soldiers who resided
in remote districts of the county and
who had served in the same company
of an Indiana regiment with him
throughout the War, setting forth their
positive knowledge that the Democratic
story was an outrageous falsehood. The
Republican paper, publication of which
had been delayed purposely, came out
with ringing denunciation of the char
acterless politicians who had at the last
moment, when they believed his friends
would be powerless to overtake it, cir
culated so infamous attack on a gallant
soldier who had fought, bled and almost
died for his country. The Republican
paper called on every Union veteran
to resent so dastardly an outrage and
to rebuke the men who had committed
it by seeing to it that every loyal voter
in the district was acquainted with the
iniquity of the attack on Hackney
Did his Comrades respond? Everyone
who knows the spirit of the exUnion
soldier of thirty-fve years ago knows
that they did. Hackney got about all
the votes cast in the district and had
taken his seat at Topeka before his
pretended friend quit gasping for breath.

state is now richer in men OF
that type, but no man who has ever
resided in Kansas has been able to out
shine Colonel W. P. Hackney of Win
field in exhibitions of initiative and in
dividuality. Colonel Hackney has been
taking things rather easy recently, but
for many years he was one of the most
interesting and unique figures in the po-
litical life of the state Intense, ambi-
tious and a ready twohanded fighter,
he was in the thick of every battle that
touched his interests, and his foes
feared him always because of his dar-
ing and resource.
Many rich tales of Colonel Hack
ney's political campaigns are related by
old-timers, but none of them are more
relished by Colonel Hackney himself
than one dealing with his candidacy
for state senator from Cowley and per-
haps an adjoining county, in the early
seventies. 1t was a close fight, and
Hackney realized that he must stir his
friends to their utmost That section
of the state had been largely settled by
veterans of the Union army and the
feelings engendered by the great war
of the preceding decade were active fac
tors in every political campaign. A vet
eran of the War, Colonel Hackney was
naturally appealing to "the old soldier
vote"
Numbered among Colonel Hackney's
more or less intimate acquaintance was
a Democrat who represented to him con
fdentially that he was quietly support
ing him because of personal friendship
and regardless of partisanship. Colonel
Hackney talked to this man frequently
the progress of his campaign,
but he guessed correctly that the Dem
ocrats friendship was but a pretense
and that he would be prompt to go to
the opposition with any information
be might secure which could be used to
the advantage of the Democratic sena-
torial candidate.
'Roar-backs" were common in the
of the period, and fearing
hat the Democratic newspaper might
publish some damaging story in the
asst issue before election which he
would not otherwise have opportunity
o meet, Colonel Hackney arranged with
he editor of the Republican paper that
lis issue preceding election would be {
leld back until after the Democratic I
aper had been published. After con- {
luding this arrangement Colonel Hack I
icy retired to his Office to attend to |

business matters that had been pushed
aside for politics.
Within few minutes his pretended
friend came in inquiring as to the prog
ress of Hackneys campaign. Swearing
him to secrecy, the Colonel gave him
what would be classified as IAN ear
full in street parlance of the present
period. Il am gone fawn-skin," said
Colonel Hackney. Il guess l might as
well give up the fight, and what's worse,
l don't reckon I'll be able to stay in
Cowley county, even"
why what's the matter?" inquired
the caller excitedly
well, you must not tell anybody
about it," said Colonel Hackney, "be-
cause something might happen that that
old devil wouldn't get here before cleo
tion to expose me and then I might fool
these simple-minded pension grabbers
and get through anyway"
What in the world? gasped the Dem
ocrat.
''You see, I've been making my cam
paign as an ex-Union soldier" replied
Hackney and when they find out that l
never was in the army, won't carry
precinct in the district"
Never was in the army" shouted
the friend with the light of a resolve
shining in his face. What do you
mean?"
81 mean that never was in the Union
army" replied Hackney sadly, and
that a - Yankee from my old coun-
ty in Southern Indiana is on his way

Hackney's Democratic friend did not

cred by the sensation of the Colonel's
onfession. Nervously expressing the
ope that the case was not hopeless
