This ticket I classed by republicans as a populist ticket, but it is simply a republican scheme and will In no way affect the pople's party or Its vote this fall. The ticket as it stands is as follows: For associate Justice W.

II. licn- nlngton, Topeka. For irovernor Cyrus Corning, To peka. For lieutenant governor M. Pratt, Wichita.

For secretary of state Fred An tliony, Leavenworth. For state auditor Alex. Young, Pittsburg. For superintendent of public In st met ion Mrs. Etta Semple, Otta wa.

For attorney gener.il II. A. White Augusta. For state treasurer S. T.

Cherry Parsons. Senator Jones, of Nevada, who re cently joined the populist party, says "I feel that the republican party is unalterably opposed to free coinage of silver at the American ratio of 16 to 1, or not without the consent of foreign governments who are to die tatc the ratio. I will state right now that I will never again vote for a president who does not favor free coinage." As the campaign progresses, it seems more evident that the populist part will have a good working ma jority in the legislature next winter, and that means another U. S. senator At the present time, Frank I taster seems to be the most available candi date for the place, although there are scores of populists who can fill with credit the scat made vacant by Sena tor Plumb.

Minneapolis Messenger. Dick (Blue, republican candidate for congress, is extremely solicitous about the ''business of the country" and the rjghts of eapital though he hasn't capital enough of his own to start a peanut stand. "The bueiness of the country," he said at Hutchison, talking against the workingmen's bide of the late strike "cannot wait for every Tom, Dick, and Harry to settle all his petty disputes and the disputes of all his brethren in every state and city in the country," He is one of those ignoramuses who forget that the whole business of the country depends on thu welfare of that class of people we call the producers.

Advocate Those of our readers who are acquainted with Cbas. Young, the nurseryman who lives just west of the city, will be interested in the following account given of his son's work while in tbeWesleyan University atSalina. The republican of that town says: "A young man about twenty years of age by the name of Arthur Young came to the college last year in May, taking a commercial course, short hand, physics and German. At the end of twelve weeks he had completed the whole course in the commercial department and was able to write 150 words in short hand, passsd a creditable examination in physics and German, at the same time doing Janitor work enough to pay his tuition. Prof.

Roach says the story of the young man's attainments seems almost in credible, and during his thirty years or bcbool work he has never seen the young man equal for study.
