KANSAS POLITICS.
Some Pointers Dished Up for "Advocate"
Gov. Click Is to speak at Atwood, Sep
tember 22.
James F. Legate Is going to help bury
Humphrey in the Third district
Mr. McKinley is billed to speak at
Wichita during the campaign.
The last heard of Humphrey and his
salvation army they were camping on the
prairies of Cowley county.
A Swede lawyer named Peterson Is to
be Imported from Des Moines, Ia to
make republican speeches.
Among other things exhibited at the
state fair are numerous candidates of
different political complexions.
T. R. Bayne, candidate for senator In
the Lawrence district on the Populist
ticket, was endorsed by the democrats. .
The name of J. C. Burrows, of Michi
gan, is being used with that of Perkins to
help get a crowd at Parsons on the 16th.
The numerous friends of Senator Car
roll, of Leavenworth, will be sorry to
hear that his wife died at her home last
Thursday.
There never was a time when republi
can parades in Kansas bore such a strong
resemblance to funeral processions as
they do this year.
The Sumner county people are going
to return A. G. Forney to the legislature.
Mr. Forney Is a hard worker and well
worthy of their support.
An enthusiastic republican at the Cha
nute Hr8t gun" meeting on the 1st re
marked that "the crowd was not very
large but they had a whole carload of
beer."
The People's meeting at Wichita yes
terday was simply a stunner, too big to
be described in one Issue of the Advo
cate. It was the crowning glory of the
Seventh district campaign.
Since Cyclone Corning is out of sight
Joe Ady has again ventured upon the
stump. But Joe never has quite re
covered from the dressing old Cyclone
gave him several years ago, poor man.
About 1,000 people attended the re
publican meeting at Washington last
Friday, where several weeks before a
crowd of not less than 8,000 were out to
hear Lewelling and Harris. What a
cheerful difference.
The case of A. G. Stacey against Sol
Miller, of Troy, for libel, is still pending
in the United States court Where Sol
made his mistake was in not limiting his
lying a.tacks to the Populists instead of
attacking a brother republican.
Senator Rush was renominated In the
Lamed district last week. Let's see, the
senator was absent when the age of con
sent bill was voted on. 'That' excuses
him. If he had voted against it he would
be Ineligible to a renomlnation.
One of the most gigantic meetings of
the campaign was that held at Lyons,
Rice county, on the 3d, addressed by
Lewelling and Simpson. Even the re
publicans of that place place the num
bers of those In attendance at 8,000.
How's that for a fizzle?
It Is generally oonceded that T. J.
Hudson Is making the most brilliant and
the most sensible campaign that has ever
been made in the Third district. There
is no feathers or polish about Jeff; he Is
just plain, honest, common sense, but he
is a hustler from away back.
The record of J. R. Barton is striking
terror to the hearts of his most ardent
supporters In the Fifth. They say they
could stand the "Mr. Murphy" chapter
In which Burton assumes the name of
that distinguished Irish gentleman In
order to conduct a house of questionable
repute In Topeka during the legislature
session, but they don't want to send a
boodler to congress as a "stand-uper."
The Washington county defender of
monopoly, whose name has lately been
changed by the republican press from
Jo Lo to Hon. Joseph G. Lowe, has la
bored for six weeks and brought forth a
letter in answer to Judge John Martin.
He produces three columns of words to
deplore the fact that there are democrats
who are willing to vote a People's ticket
without getting any offices in return, and
that Is all there is in the honorable Jo's
letter.
Independence Star: He registers it
"Bishop W. Perkins from Kansas." He
lives at Washington, D. C. Governor
Humphrey pulled him out of the filth of
the lobby there and made him United
States senator. The governor did this
to get his support for the congressional
nomination. "Perkins of Kansas," desir
ing to retain this job, refused to give
Humphrey the support The, latter is
now forming an alliance to return Per
kins to the lobby.
The Chautauqua county "People's
party" murder case is still a mystery.
The two men, Button and Klnsey, who
were arrested on suspicion, were ac
quitted last Thursday. The dispatches
say a great deal of censure was brought
against J. P. Davis for causing the arrest
and incarceration of two innocent men
and for the great expense to the county
incurred by the trial, but they do not
say whether or not the fact that they
were discovered to be republicans had
any bearing on the case.
Persons toweling from the southern part
of Kansas to St Louis and eastern points
should take the 'Frisco road. Ik furnishes
the beet of accommodations, makes quick
time and takes passengers through without
change of oars.
NATIONAL NEWS.
Notes on Political and Other Topics of
General Interest.
The poet John G. Whittler died at
Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, on the
7th.
It is settled. Tammany Hall has
officially endorsed Cleveland. But didn't
they do that In '88?
Prof. Barnard, of the Lick observatory,
has discovered that the planet Jupiter
has'a fifth satellite. They ought to name
it Corbett
The R. G. Dun & Co. reports say
that gold is still going to Europe In re
markable quantities. That U enoour-agingr-to
those who have money to loan.
Up to last Sunday something over fifty
deaths from cholera had occurred In the
vioinity of New York, most of them on
board ships. A very strict quarantine la
being enforced.
Arizona Is getting to the front even If
her voting VPultlon is small. Peo
ple's party clubs are being organized
there wherever there are voters enough
In a community to make a club.
They are having a political war in the
Choctaw nation, I. T. Four men have
been killed and the prospects are good
for more bloodshed. When did the
farmers' alliance break out among the
Indiana?
The county and district conventions in
Colorado are endorsing the Populist
tickets right along and denouncing the
Chicago democratic convention. Colo
rado Is on his high horse this trip and is
riding to win.
Governor Flower, of New York, has
authorized the purchase of Fire Island,
off the coast of Long Island, and given
his check for the first payment of $50,000.
The Island will be used as a landing for
cholera passengers.
The republican majority In Vermont
last week was about 20,000, a falling off
of about 21 per cent What b going to
happen when they can't hold their own
In the maple sugar state? Old man Ed
munds Is losing his grip.
The president is taking steps to Inter
vene in behalf .of Venezuela to prevent
Great Britain from taking possession of
the Orinoco river. Whether this is done
for political buncombe or to offset the
cholera scare is not apparent
The long-talked-of fight between
Sullivan and James J. Corbett took place
in New Orleans the night of the 7th, and
Sullivan was knocked out in the twenty
first round. Corbett la now the cham
pion heavy weight of the world.
It Is reported from Washingt, that
Harrison will send out all the members
of his .cabinet to make four or five
speeches each. Kansas speaks for
Guerrilla ElkSns. We need him hereto
match up with Anthony and Botkln.
The leading organs of both old parties
in Tennessee are Inclined to be more
fair with the People's party than the re
publican papers of Kansas are. The
Dally Tribune (democratic) and the
Daily Republican (republican), of Knox
viile, each give a fair account of a large
People's party convention held there on
the 6th, addressed by S. M. Scctt and
others. Nothing can stem the t!da
In Tennessee, and the newspapers don't
propose to try.
Republicans of Colorado are trying to
redeem the state by adopting a free sil
ver platform. Here la their silver plank
adopted last Friday when they nom
inated a state ticket: "That every re
publican of Colorado is now, and he
always has been, in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. That tha
republican party of Colorado calls atten
tion to the fact that Its senators and rep
resentatives have at all times worked
for and advocated free coinage. We, es
free coinage republicans, believe that we
can establish true republicanism much
sooner by keeping within the party than
by supporting any fiat money theorists
who are In favor of the demonetization
of both gold and silver. That the re
publican party of Colorado believes free
coinage of silver at the present ratio
would be of great benefit to all the pro
ducing classes of this nation."
All Against Jerry
Wichita Beacon.
The very fact that every republican
newspaper, not only In Kansas, but In
the entire west, is training its gun on
Jerry Simpson, ought to convince every
democrat and People's party man In the
big Seventh that Mr. Simpson lathe
proper man to represent them in con
gress. An honest farmer who occupied his
spare moments in studying the financial
history of his country, he has gained a
national reputation. His keen logio has
exasperated the plutocrats and they will
leave nothing nndone to defeat the cour
ageous defender of western Interests. .
What will the election of Cheater I.
Long mean? It will mean a vote for
eastern monopolists instead of Jerry
Simpson's voice and vote in congress for
the producers of Kansas and the great
Mississippi valley as well.
Chester L Long will vote for a high
tariff which the west must pay. He will
vote against the free coinage of silver,
thereby increasing the value of every
mortgage held against Kansas homes and
depreciating the selling price of every
aore of Kansas land and Kansas pro
ducts. The election of Long and the da
feat of Simpson would be victory for the -eastern
plutocrats and a defeat for every
laboring man in the Seventh district
