Take notice that the mechanics,
farmers and laborers who cary re
publican torches and yell for tariff
protection this year are exceedingly
scarce. It ia another kind of pro
tection they want.
It is suspected that ChairmanSimp

better than anybody else, and name
the complicated illness which caused
him to cancel some of his dates.
A STAMPEDE CONTEMPLATED.
The Only Hops of the Expiring Eepub
lican Party Is in the Oreation of a
Panic on the Eve of the Election.
Tab no Stock in Oock and Ball Stories.
It is definitely known in this city
that the only hope of the republican
managers in the coming election is in
the creation of a stampede in the
People's party ranks on the eve of
election.
One of the methods by which it is
hoped to accomplish this result has
been already disclosed. It is by
letters supposed to be written by
People's party men renouncing their
allegiance to the party because of the
outrages upon Gen. Weaver in Geor
gia, and other reasons such as they
can coDjure from their muddled
brains. Sjme of these letters may
be genuine, while others will be
forged. There were always Judases
willing to betray their master, and
there will always be traitors to every
good cause, who may be bought by
the enemy. Other means are also
contemplated to aid in the creation
of this panic It is an attempt to re
peat the taotics of 1888, perhaps with
out the dynamite, but with all thro
other unscrupulous methods which
have come to distinguish the repub
lican party.
With the remembrance of the Cof-
feyville scheme fresh in their minds,
and the subsequent knowledge ob
tained of republican taotics, the peo
ple of Kansas are not going to be
stampeded again this year. Their
votes will be based upon intelligence
and education, and it is an insult to
that intelligence to even suppose that
any scheme, however cunningly de
vised, tan succeed in creating the
panic that is now contemplated by
the republican managers.
PUT THESE THINGS TOGETHER
The other day the democrats threw rotten
eggs at Governor Buchanan while he was
making a People's party speech in Tennes
see. Rotten eggs is all the argument the
democrats have to offer in this campaign.
Wichita Eagle.
The above verification of a fact,
while it may add something to the
fact, is astonishing because it is the
first comment we have seen in a re
publican newspaper upon the inci
dent to whioh it refers. While the
assault iupon Gen Weaver in Geor
gia is made the subject of an inex
haustible supply of sympathetic com
ment from the republican press, this
Tennessee incident, like the egg epi
sodes in Kansas, has been almost
totally ignored, most' of the editors
gcing so far as to suppress the dis
patch which contained the news of it
This calls to mind the story of the
gored oxen.
We say the fact may have been
added to by the Eagle because in the
information we get there is no evi
dence that the ante-bellum eggs were
thrown by democrats. Yet they may
have been, and if they were, the dem
ocrats in Tennessee and Georgia are
offering just as good argument as the
republicans are in Kansas, provided
their eggs are of as good a quality.
But here is the point: This man
Buchanan is the present governor of
the state, elected by the democrats.
He has been a good governor and no
fault has been found with his official
acta He has not even neglected his
duties so far as to go out and leave
his office in charge of a rubber signa
ture stamp as our governor has done.
No, but he did something else. He
denounced the damnable policies that
have prevailed in our national gov
ernment until half the people of his
state are now homeless, and declared
his determination to fight the mon
archic power of money until a change
was effected. This is what he is do
ing now and this is what has made
him a target for insults, together with
Weaver and Otis, Simpson and many
others.
Does the old feeling, the hatred for
the north, enter into this abusive op
position of Governor Bachanan He
was a confederate soldier. Was it
that war spirit that caused the as
sault upon Weaver? The republican
press of Kansas say that it was, but
Weaver himself says he never re
ceived more gentlemanly treatment
anywhere than he did from ex-confederate
soldiers.
Put these facts together and they
require no comment. We have in
Kansas beings of the Olinger-Match-
ett stripe, men who can be induced to
do anything for notoriety or for some
other consideration. They have them
in the south. They have more of
them in the south and east because
of a lack of education and an over
production of political prejudice.
These fellows are doing the work for
their bosses in all the states where
the Peoples' party is a strong proba
bility. They would assault a man
who was their comrade in arms twenty-five
years ago just as quickly as
they would one who has always been
their political enemy. A republican,
no matter whether he has been a con
federate or a union soldier, can say
what he pleases in Georgia or Ten
nessee this year, just as a democrat
can say what he pleases in Kansas.
But it is the People's party that plu
tocratic anarchy is setting its Hes
sians against.
" ALL PL0UKING BAOX."
The republican itinerant jaw workers are
tow operating upon a system. Wherever
they go tbey asseverate loudly that the sil
ver republicans in other cities and camps
are rapidly flocking back to their old party.
They ain't "flocking back" where these jaw
workers happen to be; '.but they hope, by
creating the belief that some suoh thing is
ocourring elsewhere, to induce some of their
listeners to oommence "flocking" for them
selves. This is simply a new plan of campaign."
The Harrison speakers, finding that the
faces of their audienoea are always set like
flint against them, have by agreement aban
doned argument and adopted this peculiar
line of lying to help them out. The truth
is, the cause of Weaver and silver is stronger
in this state than it ever was before. The
tide in their favor is rising higher daily. By
election it will be at its flood and the Weaver
vote will be practically unanimous.
This thing of the silver republioaos"flock
ing baok" is like the milk siokniss in Indi
ana. It is always in some other county. It
can never be caught up with. There is not
a locality in the length and breadth of the
state in which Weaver's friends are not
more numerous to-dry than ever before.
Rooky Mountain News.
TheiVetc is wrong in the state
ment that this is a "new plan of cam
paign." It ia old in Kansas. It be
gan in 1830, and if republican papers
and orators coald be believed, the en
tire population of the state must have
"flocked back" about four thousand
times over. The alliance has been
"flowing back" now for over two
ye - ;and is still "flocking" by the
miii.on. The Colorado plan is sim
ply he Kansas scheme extended over
the line.
DEM00EATI0 FIGUEES.
Col. Jones, chairman of the demo
cratic state central committee has
made a poll of the state and here is
what he says about it:
We have polled the state with the excep
tion of five of the smallest counties and find
a majority in favor of the combination
ticket of 37,412. We must make some al
lowances for mistakes in the poll and it
would be fair to say that our majority
would not miss 30,000 very much. This is
according to the old figures - of two years
ago. The vote for Robinson was in round
numbers 71,000. Taking out what Hum
phrey missed of getting an many votes as
the seven republican candidates for con
gress, gives the resubmission republican
vote of the state. That amounts to 7,750
and leaves 63,300 demoorats who, added to
the 107.000 who voted for Wiilits,
makes 170,300 votes in the two parties, the
demoorats and People's party. I estimate
that we have 51,000 new votes this year, and
giving the republicans two-thirds of them
for they will get the biggest share, gives us
a majority of a little over 29,000.
It will occur to any thoughtful
person that Col. Jones has given the
republican party credit for more of
the new votes than they will get It
would be a more than liberal allow
ance to give them one-half.
The State Journal, in commenting
upon these figures, says:
It is to be observed that Col. Jonee, in
making these figures, fails to take into'con
sideration the demoorats who have rebelled
against the aotion of the July 6 conven
tion, and the Populists who have grown
tired of the party with whioh they voted two
years ago. Chairman Simpson's figures
show a majority even larger in favor of the
republicans.
An there are probably about a
dozen of these fellows who will vote
the republican ticket, we are disposed
to give the party credit for that num
ber. Most of those who came here
upon passes furnished from the rail
road commissioners' office, came for
a good time, and they undoubtedly
had it The local hospitalities were
extended by the republican state cen
tral committee, and the fellows said
they did the fair thing. Nine out of
ten of those who were here went home
better satisfied than before that it is
necessary above all things else this
year to defeat the republican party,
and CoL Jones' figures will be found
too small when the votes are counted.

tion standard beartr,will speak in

The picture of the sleek banker,
the bummer politician, and the half

a day's work in his life, all standing
up for Kansas, arm in arm, is what
makes the average voter sit down and.
