Thompson of Norton, one of the leading lawyers in this part of the state, left the Republican party in 1896, and supported Bryan because lie believed rn free silver and was honest enough to forsake his politi cal friends and to frankly announce bis position. There were a great many such men four years ago. but like Mr. Thompson, they have seen they were mistaken, and while they have not all announced their position in public interviews, they are ooming back just the same and will vote for McKlnley as freely as they did for Bryan then. - When Mr. Thompson decided to re turn to bis political home he was just 'as honest and bold as when he left it and gives the following statement to the public press: "I refused to support Win. McKin ley and the Republican party in 1S96 because I believed the party bad abandoned its position on the curren cy question. "Apparently there never was a time in the history of our country when the outlook was more discouraging to the business and financial inter ests, than on the threshold of the last presidential election. I believed at that time such conditions-were di rectly brought about by the policy of the contraction of the currency and that the adoption of a single gold standard would tend to further con traction and cause hard times, destroy values and increase individual and corporate indebtedness. "The currency question has been settled and is not an issue in this campaign; there are other issuescon fronting us at present of more conse quence and more far reaching than gold or silver. One is, shall we main tain our standing and dignity as a nation, or surrender to a few alarm ists and stand before the world as cowardly and vacilating. Our people are in a prosperous and healthy con dition, the dark clouds that hung over us in 1896 have cleared and the bright sunlight of hope shines forth. The glory won by our army and navy in the Spanish war should be the pride of every loyal American. The isles of the Pacific are ours and no party would done other than the adminis tration has done, and could not have done otherwise without bringing dis honor and disgrace to our country. I am an expansionist under the condi tions which we expanded, and if that be imperialism, I am an imperialist. "With prosperity on every hand," with the balance of trade inour favor, with abundance of money to do busi ness largely in the hands of the" pro ducers, our country enjoying the un limited confidence, esteem ana , re spect of the civilized world, it is no time to change a certainty ror an uncertainty, and is reason enough t for giving my unqualified support to McKinley and Roosevelt.

One of Jasper (Mo.) county's promi nent and prosperous farmers, who heretofore has given unvarying sup port to the Republican ticket, inti mated while on a visit to Carthage the other day that he might aid the Brvan ticket this fall. Said he, by the way of explanation: "Under the last Democratic administration I could get any kind of a hired man I wanted and if I made a poor choice, get another in an hour. Now it is all different. I cannot get a hand for love nor money, and I have had to work harder this summer than for years. I think that by voting in a fusion administration I. would be able to rest a little, and get a hired man to do the work." K. C. Journal. Free Lecture ! ! Prof. S. W.

CfEAINFIELD, KAN., Aug. 13, 1900. EniTou -AVoklu: - ,. . v Lifes duties, include duties of citi zenship many times unpleasant, 3'et none the less to be fearlessly perform ed. When any man offers his services to the people, or seeks their suffrages, the public have right to know the character of the seeker. Any citizen who kuows and is afraid to give it, be it for or against the applicant, would be a retrograded descendant of the fathers. Why be afraid to perform that duty, even though sometimes creatures in their attributes and methods are fit to be likened to a very beautiful little animal often met with, whose beauty is on'y excelled by its unbearable odor. Tne sort of human beings referred to always at tempt to deter aud make afraid any who would oppose them, to avoid the nauseating effluvia which they are ever ready with supply. IN'ow, sir; a certain individual who hails from your city, am told, is a candidate for a state office. If so, his true life is public property, and true to the likeness of his class, he has been, so I am informed in this coun ty, threatening again to uncork his bottled up nastiness, and again at tempts to distress and disgrace my good wife and children, and assassi nate my name if I dare do my duty to the people of this state. Were he not a candidate for posi tion representative of the morals and dignity of the people of Kansas, I might shrink from any contact with him or any of his class. But, sir; since he is tramping up and down the country with threats and inuendos like his dirty claim that he could fix me, I am impelled to assert my defiance. I have no intention of dragging in any of his cowardly at tacks on me, or anything personal when I go to the great heart and con science of my fellow citizens; plenty without that. I am not a candidate, he is; even though I be many times a worse character than he, that detracts noth ing from his record, which the people are justly entitled to know; his char acter good or oad belongs to the pub lic; the truth is no slander, and arm ed with the truth I defy him; and that those who know both of us may understand me, I ask space in your valuable paper for this open defiance of him and all of his kind.
