C. Aldrich and A. M. Corn, but owing to the negligence of the local committee, no notice had been given, and consequently no meeting was held. Are the Republicans of Smith county going to al-low this canvas to go by default The opposition are alert and Ijhe first thing we know, they will beat every man on our ticket The Jewell county papers are profuse in their praise of Hon.

C. S. Aldrich's canvas of that county in the interests of the Republican ticket. Parties who have followed him say no two of his speeches were alike. They appreciate such telling speeches as Charley knows how to make, and are showing commendable zeal in the conduct of their canvas, which in contrast with the lukewarmness of the Republicans of Smith, looks bad tor The joint discussion between Davenport' and Shores, came off as expected, baring! the discussion.

The Greenback side produced no new arguments. Davenport eulogized the Republican party for its war record, but claimed they had not since that time been the author of one good general law benefiting the people. That our system of finance was identical with the English system; increasing debt and high interest, the same old bond and National banks. "Cussed" the Republican party for demonetizing silver. That owing to bad legislation not 1000 people in Kansas were free from debt.

The Republican party never did a good job unless by accident; that suspension exists now as much as in '61. Only a few centuries ago since our trouble with Great Britain, and so soon aping her money system, throwing a debt on pos' terity. Shores opened by saying that he never knew an office-seeker but what wanted a change and said ha expected to see the Greenback party come back en masse after election. Hackett followed Shores but every one in Smith county is too well acquainted with his style to need any repetition. J.

R. Jones made the best speech of any of them, bringing up his proofs as he went along, and made sjme pretty hard hits. His remarks Vere listened to, and more appreciated than any of the others.
