Nearly every town in Kansas was similarly placarded the same night. The posters read: safe majorities.

Consequently, it is the very worst policy in tho world for any Republican who sincerely desires the success of his party Tuesday, lo be induced to agree to any trndes or dickering for support of any one, or three of the fusion ticket in exchange for the promised support on the part of Populists or Democrats of any Republican nominees.

Hoggins, candidate for stato senator, lias been accused of being a dude, a plutocrat and a railroad attorney. There is nothing too mean for tho Populists to say about him. Only one charge made against him is made Willi any degree of seriousness. 1'hat is the one in regard to his "allegiunco to the corporaiions Mr. Hoggins has made the following frank statement of Ids views on this point: "Since my nomination for the state senate, 1 have been accused by the opposition, of various and sundry sins of omission and commission, to which 1 merely want to enter a plea of "not guilty." One charge however, I wish to contradict in express terms.

It has been stated that 1 am railroad attorney and that 1 will not vote for a railroad law in the iutereslsof the people, if elected. In reply to this charge, let me say that the Republican state platform, as well as tlie senatorial platform, pledges me to vote and work for a railroad hill embracing, as I understand it, the following features to-wit: First A hoard of railroad commis sioners, to be elected by the peoplo. Second, Said board to have power to fix rates and adjust other differences, between the roads and the people of the various coinmutiilicsoi lhe stain. Third In case the railroads fail or refuse to conform to tlie rates, fixed or the adjustments made by said board, then said board, through tlie attorney general shall bring action against said roads in the courts of this statu, to com-pellsaiil ronds to conform to said rates and adjustments, made by said board. This will take tlie burdens of litigations olT tlie individual If tlie Republicans have a majority in the next legislature, such a law will bo enacted, and in case of my election I will vote and work for it, to tho best of my ability.

If tiie Republican should not have the majority to pass such a law 1 will vote for any good measure, in the interests of the people, no mutter by what party introduced. W. HriaiiNH."

There is no office within the gift of the judicial district of so great importance as that of judge.

The weal or woe of many are dependent upon his correct interpretation of the law, and his impartial protection of the rights of all. Not only must he be a man of splendid legal attainments, of penetrating lereeption and of ea judgment, but also one whose past record justifies tho fullest, conrldeiio of lhe people. In tho nomination of Granville P. Aikman of Eldorado tho 'publicans have conferred the honor on one who assuredly fulfills all of these requirements and his election will be a lilt ing tribute to the honest and earnest career of a self made man. In evidence of Mr.

Aikman's acknowledged integrity may be cited the action of the linan and Stevenson club at Augusta, llutler county. 1 his club at a meeting lieid during the past, week prepared a written testimonial to Judge Aikman st iting that he has the fullest mfidenco of tie' members of the club i in hoifst and capable man.

Horatio Kriukerholf had a narrow escape from drowning last Saturday nicht at what is known as the Ziek White ford on tor creek, about a hundred yards above where the creek empties into Fall River.

It had rained very little In tho southern part of the county, and consequently Mr. Hrinkerholf was not warned that the creek ha 1 tieen swollen by heavy rains north of Kureka until he had driven down the sleep bank into ten foot of water. Mr Hi iiikerhoir tried to release the horses from the carriage, and succeeded in ho doing, but the animals were unable to gel out of the turbulent flood. At last reports, tlie horses had been found, hut the carriage was pulled out of lhe w.i er alin'JSt at the mouth of the creek.

The Messenger of very recent date contains a very edifying screed headed "Things Political From JaneBville." It is very amusing to sny tho least. This sjiecial correspondent makes the following statement: "Mr.

Editor There seem to be some hotter informed in regard to Janesville Hoppers than as I am unable to find any between Hamilton and the south line of the township, running east and west tho full width of tho township. I challenge the Herald to give the name of anyone in the territory named who has flopped." Tho Herald refers the gentleman who wrote tho above to Mr. W. C. Cannon ho resides "in tho territory named." Cannon lives in the Jimesvillo township.

He lives in tho strip referred to and will be glad to answer any civil questions put to him. Mr Cannon voted for Hryan four years ago. He ill vote for McKiuley this year. Mr. Cannon is only one of the many in Janesville and other townships in Cireenwood county who refuses to vote for liryan in his un-patrotio attack upon the administration of William McKiuley.

It may bo well enough for the opposition papers to deny this fact now, but it will be verified by the election returns. The gentleman also refers us to Mr. Cunningham who will be remembered by many for the many good Republican speeches which he has made in Greenwood county. He says concerning him, "Hrother Republicans will please ask Mr. Cunningham if there was any arrangement in some school in Kansas to raise a company of volunteers, and if he tried to get tho boys to select him as lieutenant, and when he found another had been elected, what course he pursued next.

If he states tho facts in lhe case, he will tell you that he absolutely refused to proceed with the war." Of cource the people of Greenwood county are not interested in this little attack upon Mr. Cunningham. However ho will be remembered by at least one of the voters of Jimesvillo township ns young man hose modesty caused hiin to refuse the many honors whL-h his fellow students repeatedly tried to thrust upon him. If his memory iB good this same Jimesvillo Populist will recall bow ho himself came home on transportation issued him because he said he was going to vole for MnKinley. Now it is not to be infored from this that the gentleman in question was really ever anything but a Pop.

These frequent attacks upon the Herald by persons who wish to air their knowledge through the culums of the newspaper and shift the responsibility onto some ficticious personage may be interesting rending but they do not deceive the peoplo. COMMITTED SUICIDE. I'nknown Mmii Thfw llliimi'lf I'mler it Hnntw Kb Train Nrnr I'loplH. An unknown man was killed by the south bound Saul) Fe train last Katur-d ty afternoon at about o'clock. It is supposed that it was a case of suiside, and the eoroi or's jury hich sat on the case, so held.

Chas. Monroe is the engincor of the afternoon passenger. As the train wns at a point two miles north of Utopia, Mr. Monroe saw a man walking on the track ahead. The man stepped aside as if to allow the train to pass.

Just as the train reached him, he flung himself across the track, was dragged several hundred yards, run over by tho wheels, and horribly mangled. The body was left at the home of William Hamlin that evening, but on Sunday was brought to Eureka, and was placed in Evan's morgue. After the inquest, the body was buried. All eflorts to Identify the corpso failed. There were no papers of any kind about tho body except a small blank book.

On Monday, some parties found near the north end of tho Santa Fu switch here at Eureka a portion of the dead man's clothes, which had been caught on tho running gear of the train nnd carried to the point where it was found, itie clothing conjlsledor a mrtiun of the man trousers, and in one ol the pockets was about two dollars in money. This would seem to indicate that the man was not what was Mrsl supposed, a tramp. The section men on th Santa Fo saw the man early Saturday afternoon, but did not know hiin. They took him for a tramp, as he was "hitting the ties' in regulation trump fashion. Pop Candidate Declines Chas Howuian, who is on tho Pop ticket in Lane township for the ollice of constable has writtoo to tho clerk asking that his name be removed from the ticket.

Of course it is too late to get the name oil tho ticket or to substitute another as the ballots are already printed, This leaves the Populists and Democrats of Lane township without ft candidate for constable but then the I Populistsnnd Democrats cannot hope to elect a township ticket this year.

FORTUNE'S SPEECH. Republican Storeopticon EntertainmentPeople Eureka Informed that "Great is Tammany, and Crokcr la its Prophet" Great Meeting at Hamilton Nov. 5, Thero is sort of a political lull before the storm in Kureka this week. This partially due to the rain, which spoiled the crowds at tho political meetings planned for Tuesday afternoon and evening. It is also due to the fact that both parties nre saving themselves for a grand final demonstration next week.

Furthermore, thero is now a period of calm in which tho campaign bubbles furiously, but unobserved. Tho still hunt system is on, and the party workers are putting in hard silent licks for the execution of the plans of tho party managers. Saturday the Fusionists are "due" for a rally of some sort, but the bill of fare seems to be a secret, for at this writing, no bills of faro or any other kind of bills have been postod. On Monday night, the night before election, the Republicans will have their farewell moeting of tho campaign. This meeting will be at tho opera house.

Special efforts are being made to make this one of the most interesting meetings of tho season. There will be speechos by several local speakers, and by some of the Republican candidates for county olliees. Ihore will also be a speech by some out of town orator The speeches will'all be short. The band will urnishjmusic. IJills ill be printed, giving full particulars.

Watch for the bills, and come to tho meeting. Ex-Governor John P. St. John had an opportunity last Tuesday evening to meat State Superintendant Frank Nelson in joint debate. Hut he didn't do it.

Mr. Xolson was billed here for a speech in the afternoon, but his trains were Into and missed connections, and he did not arrive till nearly 0 o'clock. It was then planned to try to get a few people out that evening nt the court house. Hut owing to tho continued rain, a small number were present. Previous to tho moeting, the Fusionists had been begging for a joint debate) between Nelson and St.

John, but had been put oil by the Republicans, who hoped, in case tho rain had stopped, to have a speaking of their own. Whon it was decided to abandon the Republican meeting, tho entire Kepub-can audience went to the opera house, where a few Democrats nnd Populists were assembled. A committee from the Republican side of the house notified S. A. Martin, chairman of tho moeting, thnt tho Republicans were ready for a joint debate or anything else the Pops might suggest.

Mr. Martin declined the offer, saying it would be too late when Mr. St John finished his speech Mr. St. John finished at but no opportunity was given for the Ropubli cans to make a joint debnlo of the meet ing.

Geo. M. Fortune, of In dian Territory, was sent here by the state committee to fill Frank Nelson's afternoon date last Tuesday. Mr. For-tuns had only a small audience at the opera house, owing to the rain which fell almost constantly during tho after-n ion.

"I nm a citizen of the United States who is governed without my consent," said Mr. Fortune, llo then told about the laws of the Indian Territory, and said that a great deal of false sympathy is being wasted on the Filipinos, who receive at the hands of tho United States even at the present time more liberty to govern themselves than do the white residents of tho Indian Territory. Mr. Fortune made a vory utile speech. His arguments were good, nnd were well represented.

The biggest crowd of tho sen Hon assembled in tile opera house last Friday evening to sue the Bterooptlcon nnd moving picture show given under the auspices of the McKiuley and Roosevelt club. The pooplo who attended were well pleased, and the slides used no doubt productive of gcod to the party. Eureka stayed with rest of the pro- WOULD SAVE A FEW. Trying to Lead Kepubliciin Voters into Disastrous Trades. HAVE PICKED0UT THREE Will Trade Everything In Hope of Electing A.

M. Wilson, Robert Focht and Lee Wrlht-Republicans Can Elect Every Candidate if Thoy will Stand by the Whole Ticket. It may come as a surpi ise to a good many people in Kureka and Greenwood county to know that the Democrats and Populists have almost lost hope of electing their county nominees, nnd have within tlie past few days been driven to most desperate measures known in politics to save one or two olliees out of the unavoidable ruin which confronts them. Tho malingers of the fusion campaign have issued the decree to the men who do tho work with the voters that A. M.

Wilson, commissioner in the second district, and Robert Kocht, candidate for county superintendent must be elected, even if tho rest of (he ticket is beaten in cvention of their plans. The workers are now buttonholing their friends, and doing what is commonly known in politics as "dickering'1 for votes. The Democratic heeler olfers to support Turner, Aikman, Reilman, Service and Anderson, Republican nominees, provided the Republican will enst his vote for Wilson nnd Kocht. The agreement rests "on honor" he tiveen the two men, and Republicans are sometimes lured into such an agreement under the- impression thi.t they are getting the best of the trade, when as a matter of fact they probably is simply presenting the opposi- tion with the two olliees they and which they otherwise could not obtain, Tho existence of such a "dicker" in tho present campaign is beyond all question. Enough people have already been approached with tho proposition to make it apparent what tho fusionists hope to do.

No doubt the scheme tins already been heard of, or soon will he, in other parts of the county. Outside of tlie second commissioner's district, the fusionists make another slightly ditrerent proposition to trade. They olfer to support Aikman, Turner, Hodman, Service and Anderson i exchange for votes for Focht and Leo Wright. Wright is a candidate for State Senator against W. L.

Hoggins. Hy this means, they hope to strengthen what is already the strongest points in their ticket, and let tho weaklings go by default. Thewisdom of the fusionists in selecting Wilson, Focht and Wright ns the beneficiaries of their scheme is evident. Wright is selected because the fusionists believe that Lyon county will bo a "stand olf," and thnt the vote in Greenwood will practically decide whether Wright or Hoggins will represent the district. Focht is selected because he is running for his second term, and is a hard man to beat.

A further argument in his favor is that he is thorougbred Democrat, with no Populist strings tied to him, and lhe clique which runs tho fusion forces likes that kind of man. Wilson is to divide the plum with Focht in this Commissioner's district because his defeat means that for at least two years the Itcpuhlicans will control the hoard of county commissioners and the Democrats and Democratic newspapers will not have much show to get in the division of tlie few olliees and emoluments which lhe commissioners have to bestow. I lie order to defeat W. II Phillips and elect A. M.

tlie "paramount issue" of tho fusion campaign in this commissioner's district. Anyone who stops to think wi 1 realize that the fusionists would not make such a liberal olier to trade if it were not from the fact that they nrs staring defeat in the face, and will taken half loaf rather than no bread, and they are willing, under the circumstances to take much the smallest half am) not complain. The Republican poll, brought up to the latest possible revision, shows that everything is certainly "coming our way" this year in Greenwood county, as in the rest of the state anil nation. Greenwood county will certainly give MeKinley in tho neighborhood of 200 majority, and tlie count is rather more likely to show over 200 than under. The state and county tickets are hardly expected to run ns high as the national ticket, but at every point the Republi "GREAT IS TAMMANY AND CROKER IS ITS PROPHET" V.
