Tansey, Madden, Webb Co. was going to tell how the g. o. p. had fulfilled their pledges.

The meeting was poorly attended. The majority of the republicans went from town. The Tariff is a Tax. He sat by his door at noonday, lonely and gloomy and sad. Brooding over the price of his' corn crop and figuring how much ho had.

He had worked from curly springtime, early and late and bard. And he was counting his assets and figuring out his reward. He figured that it took two acres to buy hie two boys new boots. And ten acres more on top of this to fit them with new suits. To buy his wife a protected dress took a hundred bushels more.

While five acres went 'u a solid lump for the carpet on the floor. His taxes and his grocery bill absorbed his crop of oats. While the interest on his farm mortgage took all his fattened shots. The shingles on his cowshed and the lumber for his barn. Had eaten up his beef steers and the balance of his corn.

So he sat in his floor at noonday, lonely and gloomy and sore. As he figured up his wealth, a little less than it was a year before. Then was when we were making these appropriations; the farmers were rich then. By gum, they say I'm protected, but I know there's something wrong; I've been deceived and gulled and hoodwinked by this high-protection song. They told of rebellious traitors, and held up the bloody rag.

And I followed along al bumpkin, and now Iam holding the rag. But from this time en I'll investigate and get to the bottom of facts. And I'll bet four dollars, to begin with, that the tariff is a tax. Barney Esch and Miss Rose Sartin, of Grouse creek. was in town today.

There is at least 100 illegal names registered in the first, second and fifth wards. These fellows should we watched with a keen eye and all made to swear in their votes. The rain meeting last night was a failure. Only three or four were present and no word was had from the rain maker. Nothing is left now but to await the pleasure of Providence.

A full house greeted the Athenian debaters last evening to hear the discussion on the question "How shall we vote." The merits of both the Republican and People's parties were ably set forth. Everyone left well pleased with the evenings entertainment. W. M. S.

The Santa Fe Scheme. The Santa Fe rally at Arkansas City on Thursday evening, in the interest of the republican party was a failure so far as the objects aimed at were concerned. Mitchell and Crouse were there to talk all kinds of stuff to the rail road boys of that place. Mitchell the man who was appointed railroad commissioner at the instigation of Santa Fe company as a democrat, was down and advised the boys to vote the democratic ticket but if they could not do that he advised them to vote the republican ticket or anything else in order to beat the calamity howlers. To most men this is evidence that the Santa Fe railroad Co.

know which side of their bread is buttered. That company knows its friends and it never loses an opportunity to reward a friend or. punish an enemy. 'They recognize in the republican party a friend and they sent Mitchell down to help them out of the soup, but the thing didn't work worth a cent. The boys are on to their little scheme and are indignant over the advice given by Mitchell.

A Joint Discussion. A reporter visited Kellogg last Thursday night for the purpose of listening to a joint discussion between Capt. Tausey of Winfield and J. B. Evans, a farmer of Vernon township.

The discussion was opened by Capt. Tansey who failed to present any thing new in the way of argument, in favor of republican doctrine. His speech was the same one that the republicans had stereotyped about 15 years ago and has been hawked about the country by would be republican speakers ever since. The speech in question has a peculiar history. The author is supposed to be John A.

Logan but there has been some innovations on the original. It is generally accepted as a fact that the comparison in which the mule is likened to the people's party, used by Hallowell at Manning's hall on Tuesday evening and by Tansey last night, originated sometime during the palmy days of the Babylonian empire. Some antiquarians think it must have started at about the time that Adam and Eve were driven out of Eden, but be that as it may, Ingersoll, in searching through some "quaint and curious volumes of forgotten lore," ran on to the idea and trotted it out for campaign use during the greenback craze that swept over the country several years ago. The story about the "shitepoke" as told by Perkios in his campaign last year and in all his campaigns, and repeated by Tansey last night is very ancient, and its author is somewhat obscured because of the fact that the historian neglected to make mention of the fact. Some searchers after antiguities, seem to think that Job originated the story during the days of his affliction.

The clause in regard to every man in this country being a king and every woman a queen, which had its origin during the revolutionary struggle, was rendered in accordance with the original, stereotyped article. Coming down to more recent date, speaker gave the bloody shirt a few twirls and clinched the point aimed at by exhibiting a card with a facsimile of the stars and bars thereon. The clause in landation of the national bankingsystem, was rendered in all the primitive purity of the original document. There were no innovations on the old time speech until Mr. Evans came on for rebuttal.

Mr. Evans being familiar with ancient history had no difficulty in exploding the fallacies of that old chestnut of a speech, and so forcible was his logic that when be began on the tariff question and said that he was prepared to prove that the tariff was a tax the Capt was in a proper frame of mind to admit that the tariff was a tax, and no mistake, in fact he so far forgot himself and his speech that he offered to bet Mr. Evans ten dollars that the republican party had always asserted that the tariff was a tax. This admission called out prolonged and loud applause and as it was a victory for Mr. Evans, the chairman, who is a republican, felt called upon to threaten to adjourn the meeting if it was not stopped.

It is supposed that the exhibition of the stars and bars had acted upon the chairman much the same as shakinga red rag at a bull. He slopped over as it were and was excused there for by one of his neighbors, who said the fellow "didn't know no better. Be that as it may there is probably not a republican in Vernon township buthas his tariff creed modified today, to conform to the new doctrine on tariff as expounded by the judge, and they are all ready to bet ten dollars, to begin with, that the tariff is and always was a tax. Mr. Evans was warmly applauded throughout his speech and is to congratulated on the victory he gained.

Tansey closed the discussion in a short talk in which he said he had bushels of documents upon the actions of the alliance House of representatives, which would take him two weeks to read but he would not take up the time to do so. Calls of "read," "read" came up from all over the room but the Judge didn't read. In fact he seemed to have lost his reconing as he closed his remarks by asking the question "who in the h-1 am At her home near Udall, Susie wife of G. E. Boomershine, of typhoid fever, Oct.

28, 1891, aged 27 years, one month and 14 days. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. II.

Hornor, and was well-known in and around Winfield and loved by all; a faithful and consistent member of the M. E. church, a loving and devoted wife and mother and a good neighbor, her loss is felt very keenly in the community where she resided. She was married Dec. 31, 1882 to G.

E. Boomershine. She left a husband and two little boys to mourn their loss. The funeral occurred Oct. 29th, at 2 p.

m. at the residence. Rev. McCollister preached the funeral sermon. The remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Ninnescah cemetery by loving friends.

Hers was a glorious death, for it is written "Blessed are the in heart, for they shall see God." While the relatives and friends mourn their loss so bitterly, we know that it is her gain and that it will not be long we join her and the loved ones gone before, where there will be no partings, no heartaches, but all will be joy and peace.
