The editor had the pleasure of meeting the above named gentle-
man at Shawnee on Labor Day, and must confess that we have
never seen a greater ovation given a candidate before the people.
Long before the train arrived the crowds congregated at the depot
and not only occupied all the room on the platform but extended
way out in the streets, and when the train arrived hundreds went
up to meet and shake hands with the Governor, fox governor he
will be after election day or there is nothing in demonstrations.
After the handshaking a band headed the procession to the Nor-
wood hotel, followed by about twenty carriages filled with ladies,
and a long procession of members of the Farmers Union and differ-
ent labor unions, where an informal reception was held, and if the
gentleman's hands didn't ache, it was not be;ause they were not
shaken often enough or hearty enough to please anybody.
We said to him, "Governor, the republican papers state that you
are meeting with a frost over the state, and if this is a sample,
wouldn't you like to be frozen to death?" He replied; "This kind
of freezing is mighty nice, and this is the kind of frost I have been
meeting with."
Long before the hour he was billed to speak at Oak Park, every
seat was filled and by the time of his arrival standing room with-
in a hundred yards of the speaker's platform was at a premium-
He made a thrilling speech on the issues before the people and
was applauded to the echo on many occasions.
It was conceded even by opposition that it was a great re-
ception to a brilliant man and his sound logic and winning ways
had made many votes for the democratic ticket.
He is doing a wonderful work, and if he is not elected governor
by from forty to fifty thousand votes on the seventeenth of Sep-
tember we shall be greatly deceived.

From which we assume that "Chilly

a party question, but simply the gover-

consistency is not one of the virtues of
the republican party. If Haskell is ca-

republican vote for sheriff, and the re-
pnblicans know it. That's what hurts.
It is currently reported, and is not
strenuously denied by the republicans,
that various corporations in collusion
with certain republican managers in the
new state, have begun the colonization
of negroes from Kansas, Tennessee and
other nearby states. Several points in
the territory report quite an adt ition
to the negro section gangs on the rail-
road, and a rapid increase of the loose
colored population. This means that
the democrats will have to be watchful
at the polls or they will get the worst
of it, as the negroes will vote the re-
publican ticket, if they are permitted,
whether they are legal voters or not.
The republican papers are making a
great hullabaloo over the fact that
Haskell has declared, as far as he was
concerned, that he would vote for state-
wide prohibition, claiming that he has
j committed the democratic party to this
I measure. The truth is, he said that it
was not a party question, that he had
