"Mr. Cooper how do you-like Patterson as a candidate for Treasurer "I like him just like you would if a few such men as Bill Bloch, Tbos. Mo Millen and a hal dozen others like them was to force on the party an anarchist like Patterson. The better element of the party won't submits for it is better to be defeated now than allow that class of fellows to run the party any longer." Journal. THE WHYNESS OF IT.

It now appears that Judge Lofty's smashing expedition of two weets ago was tho result of a huge and crnel jke played on him by the clover Pote Gregory- One day Pete was sitting in tbe Judge's tfiioe talking to another person and remarked so that the Judge coald overhear him: I'll tell you what I did. I went to Madaris when he was putting stuff in his paper about mo and; told him if he didn't sop I'd break his jaw, and you bet he quit." This was enough for the Judge! He caught the cue and at once was transferred into a jaw. breaker, and purposed shut off not only Madaris, of tho Journal but the entire newspaper fraternity. The Judge was fired wUh wrath and was in dead earnest. The phrase had been coined; by Pete and the Judge proceeded to use it indiscriminately with the original stamp, without any at in it.

"Sy, Madaris, I'll smash your iaw for you," 6aid the Judge at his first meeting with that moek looking gentleman. Innocent Bob Miller, of' the Graphic was next to come under the wrath of the Judge. "Say, Bob, I'll smash your jaw for you," again quoth the Judge, when Bjb was transacting business in the probate oourt. Bat the jiw breaking bluff didn't work, both Miller and Madaris gave the Judge aditicnal "advertising" space on the editorial page next to pure reading matter, and the Judge now sees what a side show ha has made of himself. We understand that Tom Ellis, of the Overbrook Reporter is also in danger.

Bat the biggest joke of man loaying the Republican party for he P.ipulialis is-so far the absurdity of of the campaign. Will the Herald please correci The OttgH City Pu alio Opinion and the Peoylvis Herald admit our charges to the effect that Sum Janes assisted in sotting the liquoritea free, in Oage county, but deny that he did it for boodle. Wo gave that charge only as a report, anyway, but have it on Populist authority. We are satisfied with the admission made, aud wonder how honest people can stomach Jones knowing this to be true. In fact, judging from somo convolutions we overhear, we think they won't.

Wo like a man who is honest in his convictions, and so do you. Such a man we honor and respect, no matter how much he dillara from ua in his individual beliefs. Never blame a mar. who is honest in his view3 for expressing them. Hover call a man a liar until you investigate tho facts of the case.

Respect the men who stand up for his A cleaner ticket than that put in the field by tie Republicans this fall was never put up in Osage county. Now we cordially invite jou fellows who believe in political purity to vote with us. OUR FRIENDS, THE ENEMY. LiHi iturday i)r. Swetzy went before Clerk Rogers and swore ho was not a candidate on the pop ticket, and thanked God that he didn't btdocg to the populist party.

Thereupon the nen tral committee proceeded to mako Joe Laybourn chairman and then put Mr. Robt. Patterson on the ticket, where common decency and fairness would have placed P. Peterson thereon. I'j is amusing to hear the comments of tbe pjos on this action of the committee.

Jas. Kennedy in talkitig to Dr. Beasley and ocaors said: "Wo can't stand this, and it will do a few of the leaders like MsMillen et al to got defeated. Ha wont get 50vctes in this township." "We have got to defeat him." P. Peterson.

"Frank Nulsoa will bo the next treasurer." Diiddy Young. "I am goiDg to resign as central committeeman." Jas Kennedy. ''Patterson was not my choice but we had to take him." T. F. Edwards.

"I am not much stuck on Mr. Patter son. He is easy enough to beat." Jtff Waddle. "He will cot be elected by my vote, and I'll do all I can to defeat P. Peterson.

"Patterson wasn't our choice and we don't have to take him, no sir!" Geo. Logan. "There won't be one of the tickst elected, and I intend to do my best to beat it." P. Petersen! Ed Cilery says: "l-'rank Nelson and Henry Piatt are good enough for ma to vote for." So one by one the roses fall. "Papa are you going to vote for Patterson? "Vote for that anarchist Not much!" Petterson.

8. Patterson. My honest P'opnlist friend you can not conscsienciously yoie for a man who your own leaders will not endorse. Last week's issuo of the People's irald was probably tho most sneak ing, unmanly, disgraceful and unfairly vindictive specimen of a newspauer ever put forth in Osage county. Mr.

Fowler is entirely devoid of honor or any semblance cf fairness. Our own Charlie Curtis is said to be the hardest working man in tho Kansas delegation in Washington. If he keeps up his present lick, ho can at least have the consolation ef knowing that there wont be much bard work connected with his re-election.

Perhaps Patterson will be the next Treasurer of Osage county, but there arc lots of the Populists who pin with the Republicans in hoping not. Robt.
