Or is it through his massive brain-Like wise old Henry Clay-That he is junior senator Of our great state to-day? You're wrong, my boy. in either case.

for be is neither stout. Nor does he have sufficient brains To lead the Eight Way Out;" He's built up ou calamity And whines, through whiskers long. A dismal, doleful "tale of woe" That silly folks think strong. Big figures roll from his long neck Like waves from vessel prows, But there's as little meat in them As milk in farrow cows: He'd make us think we'd starved for years With no square meal since birth. And yet our people are more blessed Than any class on earth He tells the farmers they're dead broke And turned out in the cold.

And then he'd have this busted crew Coin money good as gold He claims the money of the war The best we ever bad. And then would pay the soldiers moro Because it was so bad. This jewel of consistency. If be could have his way. Would make the greatest government The weakest in its day: He's gained his present strength, my boy.

By defamation foul. But soon there'll be naught left of him But his weak, silly bowl. But who is Jerry Simpson, pa, Tkat man in tailor clothes. Whose poverty a year ago Kept him from wearing hose? He must be smart to come so soon Off from his little farm And swear, unless the laws becbaDged He'll use bis strong right arm? My boy, this freak you speak of now Is but a village clown. He farmed upon a dry goods box In some small country town He banks alone upon his gall The people to hoodwink, And though he's smart, most people claim He's Darwin's missing link.

You see, he was opposed to work. And when the hard times came He used his gall and clownish wit To win him wealth and fame; He now rides on a railroad pass And howls against Jay Gould. And fifty dollars is his fee For chinning those he's fooled. But as for his right arm. my boy, Don't let that worry you, It wasn't any earthly good Way back in sixty-two; For when his country needed men Brave Jerry hied away.

And took with him his "good right arm" To far off Canada. IA. A Rowley in the Topeka Capital. Dunlap Republicans Alive. Under the leadership of such stanch republicans as Dr.

J. B. Showers, County Commissioner Ben Linn. C. M.Johnson.

AXrliomasi and others, the republicans of Dunlap held a very large and old time enthusiastic meeting on last Thursday evening to form a republican club, and especially to listen to Hon. James Limbird, the orator of the evening. Quite a delegation went down from Council Grove, including the republican league officers of this county, and all of the republican candidates were present, with one exception. The club was formed with the following officers: President, Ben Linn; vice-president, John Davis; Secretary, Thomas Beasley; Treasurer, L. Still.

Some fifty names were on the enrollment which will be increased to fully one hundred within a few days. C. M. Johnson presided and after the club organization was completed the dis tinguished speaker was introduced and held the packed house's closest attention for nearly two hours, with one of the clearest demonstrations of the advantage of the past republican Iesrislati on Jinrl triumphs of the McKinley bill. Dunlap never listened to a better pre sentation of the advantages of the system of American protection, and that from an agricultural standpoint.

The later part of 31 r. Limbird's able effort was devoted to the follies and fallacies of the cardinal principles of the alliance, and clearly proved the utter impractibility of their Utopian schemes. The republicans of Dunlap are awake. Nearly half of the audience were colored and the best of feeling prevailed. Deata of Hugh Harvey.

Hugh Harvey, one of the old residents and respected citizens of Chase county, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs David Rettiger, in Strong City Sunday morning, October 18 at 7:30 o'clock, Mr. Harvey was well known through Chase and Morris counties, in both of which he had considerable property.

James Limbird at the opera house Saturday night closed a series of audresses delivered in Morris county, on the political issues of the day, by that distinguished gentleman. Wherever he spoke in the county he was greeted by large audiences of farmers, but at the opera house Saturday night Mr. Limbird received an ovation that even surprised the most faithful workers for the principles advocated by the grand old party. Long before time for the speaking to commence every chair in the large opera house was taken and numbers had to go away, being unable to even find standing room. When we take into consideration that on the same evening Gil-ruth was sending up a calamity howl at the court house before a large and respectable crowd, it begins to look like the people are seeking light and do not intend to vote this fall in the dark.

Those who heard Mr. Limberd in his plain and simple explanations of the doctrines of the republican party, cannot say but what the meaning was thoroughly understood by everyone in the house. 3Ir. Limbird is a very pleasing and forcible speaker and his inimitable way of ripping up calamity arguments and presenting facts, commanded the closest attention of the large audience for. over two hours.

If the people, the honest, hard toiling yeomanry of the country, would Jura out and listen to the doctrines as taught b' such disciples of truth, the calamity lecturers would soon be eating their bread without buter, unless starvation would induce them to earn a decent living by the sweat of their brow.
