THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. "I Will Sign Honest Tom Kelly's Bond for One Million Dollars and Qualify for Two."—C. J. Devlin Knockers, Please Go 'Way Back and Sit Down. AMONG THE POLITICIANS VOLUME IV. Something About the Men Who Desire to Represent Kansas in the United States Senate The Fight is Rapidly Growing in Interest and Promises to Be Very Warm. Gov. W. E. Stanley is still in the race for United States Senator and is making a clean cut and honorable fight. Gov. Stanley needs no introduction to the people of Kansas, and his clean record and business-like management of the affairs of the State has endeared him to all people. Should he be chosen to represent this great state in the Senate, his people would feel honored. Gov. Stanley has done as much to advance the interest and welfare of Kansas and her people as any man within her borders, and at the counting of the votes on United States Senator he will be found giving the other fellows a mighty close rub. The next Senator from Kansas may be Gov. Stanley—who knows? Hon. W. A. Calderhead is winning votes for U. S. Senator. The idea that he be in the senatorial race "just to be in fashion" has rapidly disappeared. It is now generally known that he is a candidate in earnest and that his prospect for success is as fair as that of any other candidate, if not better. There is no other candidate offered who is better qualified to represent us in all of the great work that will come before congress during the next six years than he is. There is no other candidate who will receive a warmer support from his friends than he will. The Fifth Congressional district will be practically unanimous and enthusiastic for him, and he is finding support in all other parts of the state. He has been unanimously nominated four times for congress without a dissenting voice in the conventions that made him their standard bearer He is earnestly supported because he is in touch with and in sympathy with the life and interests of his constituents. His service as a soldier during the war and his services for his comrades since the war commends him to them. His life and his experience on his homestead claim, sharing in the trials and triumphs of frontier life, commend him to the old settlers. His scholarship commends him to, and commands the respect of men of letters. The sale of his homestead to obtain means to take care of and educa te his younger brothers and sisters made for him a home life with the tender feelings that idealize the American home. His experience in camp and cabin, in the school room and court room and in Congress has made him familiar with all conditions of life and put him in touch with every interest of every good citizen in the state. There is no color line in his patriotism and no discrimination in his service. He represents and serves all with a faithfulness that commands universal respect. He is an ideal candidate and his campaign is growing. Hon. Chas. Curtis is recognized as being one of the fast runners of the age. He can run a mile and repeat. The people of Burlingame and vicinity will remember the early days of our fair meetings when, without an enclosing fence the games and the races went on quite merrily. Pitted against the field was a long, blooded bay, with a regular, far-reaching stride, to whose withers clung a tall, handsome boy who, with flashing eye and skillful hand, guided the mettled steed on and on in advance of all to the desired goal. From that time on for that young rider every day was a race and every night was a winner. Ask at the post his name and the reply is "Charley Curtis." Battling with fate, which has colored his cheek with the red blood of his ancestors, even as a child he strove against the greatest difficulties which obstructed his pathway. Every step was progress and what he gained he kept. From the public school at Topeka he became a lawyer's office boy, and from sweeping, dusting and making fires he arose to the dignity of a student of the law. Admitted to the bar, Shawnee county honored him with his first office and as county attorney he attained a reputation for success as broad as the Kansas prairies. From public prosecutor he became a Congressman and an experienced legislator. He was still riding on the withers of his thoroughbred, past every competitor and has never yet been distanced nor had a dead heat. Two years ago Bailey was healt. and also the redoubtable Cy Leland, but strong as was such a combination, our young Curtis beat them all. His success is due to his untiring energy, his unyielding integrity, his honest performance of duty and his devotion to principle. Ask any man if Charles Curtis ever broke a promise; ask any man if Curtis ever deceived him; ask any man if he ever wrote to Curtis and failed of a reply; ask any man if in the performance of any public duty Curtis was ever lacking, and a negation is not heard. Men of such character are sometimes found in public life but they are exceptional and because exceptional receive the trust and support of the people. A man having such qualifications cannot be overthrown either by political cabals or scheming combinations. The people are behind him and they are far more potent than those whose only endeavor is to deceive and mislead them. Our prediction is that in the battle about to be waged Charles Curtis will add new Laurels to a brow which has ever been crowned with victories.—Burlingame Enterprise. One of the most prominent business men in Lawrence, Kas., and the one most talked of, is M. Robinson, whose pet name is "Stubb" Robinson. He is the popular clotier of that burg, and furnished the brick that was used in paving the streets of that city which has added much to its beauty. His friends are now making a strenuous effort to have him run for county commissioner. He has been solicited to run for mayor a number of times, but flatly refused each time. He is genial and a gentleman whom anyone would like to meet. He is one of the wealthiest gentlemen in Douglas county and is the owner of one of the largest brick plants in the state. He is now furnishing brick to the paving contractors in Topeka. The Eighth street pavement is of his brick. While he claims to be a Democrat he does not look it. His neighbors say that when the time comes for "Stubb" to run for office that is the time party politics will be cast aside. Hon. W. R. Stubbs, who is the Republican nominee for the 14 Rep. district of Douglas county, was born in Richmond, Wayne county, Ind., came to Kansas in 1868, was a farm boy and worked for 75 cents per day. He is now one of the wealthiest men in Douglas county; also, the largest Rail Road contractors in the state, and was nominated without his solicitation. He is for Bowersock for Senator. He will be a power in the next House. Keep your eye on him. Quick to see things as they ought to be seen, he will always be for the interest of good legislation. He stands high with the people of his county and will be heard from in the higher councils of the nation in the near future. He is one of the best friends the colored people have in the county. He will help those who try to help themselves. He has one of the finest suburban residences in the state, and a loving family to add joy and comfort to his wealth and culture. THE PLAINDEALER hopes to see such men go to the top round of fame. WANT THE PLACE. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 19, 1902. has announced himself a candidate for the Legislature. I have not done so because the people all over the county have demanded that I should, nor because I am the only man fitted for the place, nor because the county owes it to me, but because I want the place, and have wanted it, ever since I was defeated in 1896." W. W. Taylor, editor of the Utah Plaindealer, Salt Lake City, uses the above unique way of calling attention to the announcement of his candidacy for the legislature. Mr. Taylor attended the meeting of the W. N. P. Association in Topeka, and during his stay made a number of warm friends, who would be pleased to see him land the place. Shake, old pard. The Topeka PLAINDEALER is for Tayolr, first, last and all the time. A REAL LEADER. In these days when secret societies have their primary purpose in providing a multitude of places where some fellows get "grand-so-and-so" written after their name, it is refreshing to find a man large enough to rise above petty selfish aggreandizement to create an organization having in view the material advancement of the race. When Dr. W. H Hudson a few years ago launched the True Eleven society for the purpose of buying property and opening co-operative business houses, many were inclined to treat his effort with more or less levity. But as time has passed and the splendid results of this small body of workers has been studied, the worthiness of the enterprise has commended the True Eleven to a favorable consideration of all classes. This society last year finished paying for a hall in the city of Atchison valued at $6000 besides they own and operate a farm and a grocery store. Dr. Hudson the active head of the society is one of the strongest men in the state. He J. B. DR. W. H. HUDSON. is a member of the Board of Pension examiners and has been a practicing physician in Atchison for over fifteen years. Dr. Hudson is considered as one of Kansas's foremost citizens, one who has accomplished something for himself and race. He has built a beautiful home, educated his children and at the same time, he was teaching the members of the race how to become better citizens, acquire property and build homes. In Dr. Hudson, the Negroes of Kansas have found a tireless and an earnest worker upon whom the ermine of a great leader should rightfully fall. In the list of men who have accomplished something for Kansas and a worthy cause, Dr. Hudson deserves a seat in the front row along side those who are truly great. He is a bundle of energy, filled with the kind of get-up-and-get required by men to accomplish some thing and become useful in the world. A few more Negroes in Kansas of Dr. Hudson's caliber and that "perplexing problem" would soon become a thing of the past. KELLY REPLIES TO HIS ENEMIES Offers to Walve all Rights and Have Case Tried in District Court. PRESENTS THE ISSUE SQUARELY. Denies Ever Having Received One Penny Unlawfully. EXPERTS O. K. HIS RECORDS A Manly Presentation of the Controversy Which will Appeal to All Fair-Minded People. These are only the ex-parte findings of the board of commissioners. The controversy has never been judicially determined, no court or jury has ever passed on its merits. If I took this money wrongfully and appropriated it to my own use, I am guilty of a crime and should be punished. If this board will waive its right to hold my money by reason of the statute on voluntary payments, I will waive the statute of limitation both civil and criminal, make a case of it and try it on titersis in the district court. Thomas T. Kelly, Republican nominee for State Treasurer, has prepared for publication a statement in answer to the charges made against him by political encrances. Mr. Kelly's statement is a many presentation of the whole controversy and will appeal to all fair-minded people as being most convincing. As stated above, he offers to waive the statute of limitations, both civil and criminal, if the Miami county board of commissioners will meet the issue half way, and let the whole case be tried in the district court. Mr. Kelly's statement in full follows: THIS STATEMENT IN FULL. THE STATEMENT IN FULL The term of W. D. Greason, as postmaster, at Paola, expired July 1st. Congressman Bowersock will not make an appointment until after the election. The term of C. C. Cleverenger, postmaster at Gsawatomie, expires December 31st, and the term of S. R. Ester, postmaster at Louisburg, expires at about the same time. These postoffices are the cause of all the trouble in Miami county. A fight was made on me in the county convention in February, because all of the postoffice candidates in the three above named places listed up with me and my friends in the hope that they might control the delegation to the congressional convention and thereby induce Mr. Bowersock to make a change in the various postoffices. Mr. Greason and Mr. Cleverenger both publish Republican newspapers, they were fighting to save their jobs and are still doing it. The fight is being made on me at this time in that county in order to force me to run behind the ticket and thereby discredit me with the appointing power. Mr. Greason has diligently sought, through his newspaper, to make the people believe that I am dishonest and ought not to be trusted to handle the funds of the state, yet he is qualified on my official bond for $5,000, as is also Major Renington for the same amount, and if they believe in my dishonesty they should know that they are in danger, though neither one of them has, up to this time, requested to be relieved from responsibility on said bond. THOMAS WANTED MONEY. If I had given him Thomas $200, as he demanded in February last, and promised him a place in the office in the event of my election, the fight never would have been started. Thomas and Greason met B. F. Simpson and myself in room No. 5, La Cliede Hotel, Paola, early in May last, and proposed to drop the whole fight; discharge the expert from Kansas City and forever close up on the subject if I wound retire from the race for Treasurer, assist them to control the delegates from Johnson and Miami counties for their friends in the state convention, they to name the member of the state central committee, I to assist them with Bowersock and Burton I having their selections made for postmasters at Paola and Osawatomle and I must not accept a federal appointment. RECORDS FOUND IN GOOD SHAPE I went into the county clerk's office in Miami county on January 11, 1890. At that time Mr. Hampson was chairman of the board and Mr. Crawford was his associate. Hampson served through one year of my term and Crawford served through all of my first term. Both of them are members of the board at this time. Of the $1,224.93 said to have been lost to the county during my administration $1,134.29 of the alleged amount charged to me was lost, if any was lost, during my first term. The integrity of Mr. Hampson and Mr. Crawford never has been nor is it now questioned, yet it is believed that they are as liable to make mistakes as are other men. At that time they both had experience in handling county business. I had none. They passed on the work done then and said by their official action that it was right at that time. In October 1892, four months before I left the office, W. H. Moore, an expert accountant, compared the accounts of the county treasurer and county clerk from the organization of the county to that time and he found no irregularities. He was paid $1,400 by the county for his work and his report is as follows: To the Honorable Board of County Commissioners: Gentlemen: In compliance with the terms of my proposition made to you honorable board, I have made a careful examination of the books and accounts of all our treasures and仓单赋字 which we accord your counts. from the date the same was organized, under the name of Lykins county, to the close of business on the 31st day of August, 1833. I submit herewith for your inspection and approval, tabulated statement showing the amount of county warrants issued each year, from the year 1857 to August 31, 1893; and the amount of taxes levied for all purposes each year, for the same period; also, the amount of county bonds issued and remaining outstanding August 31, 1893; together with detailed statement of errors made by ex-county treasurers. I also submit a general statement and balance sheet showing the financial condition of your county and of all funds and accounts at the close of business August 31, 1893. The balances shown on the detailed statement of ex-county treasurer's accounts, as due from or to them, are made up entirely of clerical errors o omissions of bookkeeping, and the fact of these errors having been made does not reflect in any manner upon the honesty or integrity of the ex-county treasurers. The system of accounts now in use in the office of your county clerk is one that certainly deserves favorable mention; having been introduced by B. J. Sheridan, while serving as county clerk of your county and continued and improved by the present county clerk, Thos. T. Kelly, until the records of the county clerk's office of your county are all that could be desired. The business in your county treasurer's office is being conducted by the present treasurer, J. P. Hiner, in a systematic and business-like manner, the plan of bookkeeping in his office being that of double entry, and showing the true condition of each fund or account with which he has to deal. All of which is respectfully submitted. W. H. MOORE. Public Accountant. Ordered, that the above report be accepted. M. B. ATTERBERRY. Chairman. State of Kansas, County of Miami. I. L. Flanagan, county clerk of the aforesaid county, do hereby certify that the above and foregoing is a true copy of the records as found on pages 331 and 332 of Journal "G." of the commissioners' proceedings of above date. Witness my hand and the seal of Miami county, this 21st day of April, 1902. L. FLANAGAN, (Seal.) County Clerk. Below is a statement of W. J. Stagg, expert accountant: In the latter part of April, 1902, I was employed by T. T. Kelly to examine the records in the county clerk's office covering the two terms of his service as county clerk. In the course of my examination I discovered that there were vouchers and records missing. I spoke to Mr. L. Flanagan, the present county clerk, who told me that they had been taken from the office without his knowledge or consent by A. L. Thomas. It was currently reported on the streets of Paola that Thomas and Grea son had the records of the county clerk out of the office and were fixing up things against Kelly. The grown son of A. L. Thomas was heard to remark "that his father had a lot of papers and records from the county clerk's office down at the house and that he (his father) had fixed them up and was not afraid of any person hurting him for it." I have been a professional accountant in Kansas for more than 25 years—as such Mr. Kelly employed me. Upon a full and complete examination of Mr. Kelly's transactions during his terms as county clerk, I found some irregularities on account of missing couchers and records, but I found nothing to call in question his honesty or integrity. W. J. STAGG, In 1897 J. E. Caton, an ex-county clerk, was paid $100 to check up the old records and he found no irregularities. Up to the time I became a candidate for State Treasurer, there never was a suggestion in Miami county that my accounts with the county were not all right. That the county treasurer's cash book was loaned to Thomas and Greason, and that the stubs to the warrants book, the warrant register, and the county commissioners' journal were out of the county clerk's vaults and in the hands of these men for a number of days, has never been denied. That vouchers were taken from the files and remained in their possession for the same period of time, some of them have not been returned up to this day, no one will dispute. That these books were returned to the possession of the county clerk on the demand of the chairman of the board under a threat to arrest Thomas has never been disputed. While these books were yet in their possession, they go before the county commissioners, charge me with a shortage and demand of the commissioners an investigation of my accounts. This was in February, the commissioners held a meeting and decided in my favor. They, Greason and Thomas, then employed an expert accountant from Kansas City, Mo., to examine my accounts and the result of his findings formed the basis for new charges which were made. Upon these I went before the board and asked for an investigation of my entire official conduct while in office and I deposited $1,000 to apply on any irregularities the board might find, with the written stipulation that I would abide by their findings and waive the statute of limitation. I have been accredited with having a reasonable amount of common sense. If I had received, wrongfully, anything from the county, I would have known it. I would have known that the investigation that I was inviting would disclose the same and that a report of it would ruin me personally, and destroy my prospects before the state convention soon to be held. I staked my future in my faith that an examination of my accounts would show them to be correct. The board found that on account of certain irregularities I owed the county $1,324.49. If I made a mistake in 1890 and 1891, Hampson and Crawford must have made a mistake in 1902. They can't be right in both cases. Their findings in 1903 contradict their acts in 1890 and NO REPUBLICAN CONGRESS The Boston Guardian has the following to say anent the late North Carolina "lily-white" Republican convention, calling attention to certain salient propositions, with which the Republican party may soon be called seriously to deal: "The action of Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina, who, as soon as he returned home from Oyster Bay, proceeded to hold his lily white convention in North Carolina and to exclude every colored man from it, brings the question of lily-whiteism and Negro disfranchisement dangerously near to a national basis. It is to be presumed, of course, that Senator Pritchard talked to President Roosevelt on the prospect of the North Carolina convention, and doubtless the senator had the president's endorsement for his actions as the president's Southern tour through that state, so close on the convention would indicate. It is, therefore, a drawing of the race line and the turning down of Negro Republicans, with the connivance of the president. This puts the national imprint upon North Carolina's "grand daddyism," and if this was all the Negro race would as well yield up the ghost. But though the field be lost all is not lost. "It is not generally known that without the Negro vote in the North no such thing as a Republican majority in the lower house of Congress is possible; but such is the fact, and because these people are mainly scattered through the large manufacturing states, and in many instances congested in the large centers, they can wield a mighty power in behalf of their disfranchised brother. Passing over Kentucky, therefore, whose large Negro voting strength gives her the one or two Republicans she has in the lower house, and which makes anything like a Republican party in the state feasible, there are some 61 congressmen in the Northern states who owe their election to the colored vote, that is, whose districts are so evenly divided that the Negro has'thv balance of power in them. In fact, there may be more even than this number, but it is wel to state the case along conservative lines. The congressmen whose fortunes rest more or less upon the ballot of the colored voter, extend all the way from Massachusetts to Colorado." There are just four congressional districts in this state where the colored voters hold the balance of power, all of which come within the limits of greater Boston. There are two in Connecticut also, and one of the Rhode Island districts thus affected. From three to half a dozen of the New York congressional delegation are there through the suffrage of New York's 100,000 colored citizens, and these do not necessarily come within the limits of that city, either, as New York has a large rural population of colored people. Pennsylvania's 100,000 colored people would at once indicate that much of that state's rock-ribbed Republican's stronghold is due to colored votes and nearly all of those congressional districts which enter the large cities are greatly susceptible to the Negro vote. From 3 to 6 therefore, of the Quaker state's congressmen, even Dalzell himself, must reckon with their colored constituents for election. All of Maryland's six Republican Congressmen are by the grace of her 240,000 Negro citizens, and as no one of that state's congressmen is elected by more than 3,000 majority, of course a breath can unmake them as a breath has made, through their colored voters. Deleware's one, and three to four of New Jersey's congressmen, must reckon with their colored constituency, and as these states are more or less rock-ribbed in their Democracy and have over 100,000 colored people more or less in their large cities, it goes without saying that their combined congressional strength of nine is greatly indebted to the Negro vote for Republican success. But it is in the three great states Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, that the greatest strength among Northern Negro voters is found. These great NUMBER 36. Without Black Vote. A Glance at the Power of the Colored Ballot Where it is Some Timely Observations Made by an Observer of the Political Trend of Things. states, ordinarily evenly divided between the two parties, cannot dispense with their nearly 100,000 Negro voters. In the county where Cleveland is situated, and in Hamilton county where Cincinnati is, in fact, in all the city and river counties in that state, taken together, the colored voters decide the fate of seven representatives for congress. And there are as many as six in the sister state of Indiana whose fate is in the hands of the Negro vote. In this state, as in Ohio, the river counties have a large Negro vote, and 30,000 of the 60,000 Negroes of the state live in Indianapolis. Hence, all congressional districts abutting upon that city must reckon with the Negro votes therein. Cook county, Illinois, and likewise the river counties in that state, have large colored voting strength, and some six or seven of the Prairie state's representatives are at Washington through the votes of their colored constituents. Missouri, in the county of St.Louis is indeed vulnerable to the colored ballot. The same is true in Kansas City, Jefferson and St. Joseph, and the river counties as well. In that state, therefore, four representatives are amenable to the 50,000 votes in that state. All of Kansas seven congressional delegation are there through Negro votes. That is, the state is so evenly divided that it is only through the Negro vote that a Republican can reach Washington from the Sunflower state. Iowa is vulnerable in her large cities; the same is true of Michigan and Wisconsin and of Nebraska and Colorado as well. Six or seven representatives from this cluster of states, therefore, can be fatally affected by the withdrawal of the Negro vote. In view of these facts, therefore, it is worth while for the National Republican party at Washington to reckon carefully as to its own existence when it proceeds to deal ruthlessly (as of late) with the colored people, A million and a half of colored people throughout the North are looking on with great alarm at the "lily white" conventions and the "granddaddy clauses," and are already beginning to ask themselves, has not the colored race been cast overboard from the Republican ship as a barrel to amuse the Southern whale, while the imperialistic craft proceeds on her journ ey?

FRIDAY, SEPT. 19, 1902 EDITORIAL COMMENT A Great Church Organization. A great many years ago, Richard Allen, a Philadelpia Negro blacksmith, becoming disgusted with treatment received by the colored church members from the whites, called a few of his friends to meet in his shop. As a result of this meeting the present great eclesiastical organization with its churches and minor organization had its inception. It has grown in wealth, and moral influence as the race has grown. It has become one of the most powerful factors in the race's development along all lines. In the dark gloomy days of slavery, its ministers and laymen carried the divine comfort of a "land of pure delight" to the thousand of our people suffering beneath the cruel lash of human slavery, and at the same time, its leaders throughout the north were busy aiding to mould a public sentiment against this supereative crime of our modern civilization. That their work has borne fruit the present status of our people clearly shows. We do not claim all for them, but their contribution to the world's progress and the remarkable achievements of our people proves beyond question, that the African Methodist Church is a great power. Thus from the small beginning of Richard Allen has grown, a great force having God for its center and the pallit of the Negro as its special purpose. The A. M. E. Church. In every state in this union the African Methodist Episcopal Church has its conferences. It requires thirteen bishops to care for and oversee the many thousands of churches and the million of communicants. For the purpose of meeting the constantly expanding conditions of the church, a church extension department is maintained. Last year(1901), this department raised $28516.91, $12752.19 was loaned out to needy churches, and $3252.15 was expended for Children's Day and Sunday School work. The total outstanding loans to churches amounts, according to the report of Rev. B. F. Watson, to $65, 329.12 on which there is due $12582.74. The total assets of the church extension department is $85869.53. This is a remarkable showing for one of the many departments. Besides this, the church maintains a large number of foreign and domestic missionaries. Our Kansas Conference. The A. M. E. Church in Kansas is divided for convenience into three districts, under the charge of presiding elders; Kev. J. R. Ransom of Topeka, 1st district, Rev. I. W. Braxton of Kansas City, 2nd district, and Rev. W. B. Brook of Fort Scott, 3rd district. They have fifty- with a total membership of 3950. There were 468 conversions in 1901 and 496,new members added to the church. They paid to the fifty-three pastors in charge $15004.03 for services rendered. They raised, for all purposes, $34942.14. They raised for educational purposes $27185. The present value of A. M. E. church in Kansas is $244226, on which they owe $9267.40, of this, $6000 was against the St John's A. M. E. Church of Topeka. Annual Conference. The twenty-seventh annual conference of the A. M. E. Church convenes this week in in the city of Wichita with the Right Reverend Cornelious T. Shaffer D. D. M. D. presiding. Bishop Shaffer is one of the most scholary men on the A. M. E. bench of bishops, and his work in the Fifth Episcopal district is of a high order. There has been a large decrease in church indebtedness and the great increase in accessions to the church is due to work of the pastors in charge of the churches under the influences of the bishop. Kansas can well afford to be proud of the splendid achievements of the A. M. E. Church and the good people of Wichita should surely spare no pains to render the stay of the gentlemen of the cloth one long to be remembered. A. M. E. Sunday School. There are 2501 pupils in the A. M. E. Sunday Schools, employing 287 teachers. They raised $791.82 in 1901. They own property to the value of $838.25. Work among the young people of our race should be pushed and we suggest that the Kansas conference now in session devote some time to this very important subject. Urge upon the ministers to give more time to developing interest in our churches among our young people and less to sending them out on the highways and hedges with "Cards to punch," which in many instances has been their ruin. $25.00 to California AND TO PRESCOTT PHOENIX AND MANY OTHER POINTS IN ARIZONA Tickets on sale daily during September and October.

Continued from Page One. 1891; contradict the findings of Moore, the expert; contradict the report of Saton, the expert; contradict the findings of Stagg, the expert. There can be no mistake about this because anybody knows that in order to draw money from a county treasurer you must go to him with an order from the board of county commissioners signed by the chairman of the board himself and counterigned by the county clerk. if these orders are illegal, they come back to the county commissioners for comparison and cancellation four months later, and they then have another opportunity to detect irregularities if there are any. A county clerk is absolutely powerless to draw money from the county treasurer except on the order of the county commissioners. I am said to have plead guilty to the charge of wrong doing because I paid this money to the county. I entered into a written agreement in advance of the investigation that I would abide by their findings. I made my agreement good, but it cost me $1,324.99, for which I never received one penny's worth. I am the only injured party in the case. I lost my money, and they are now trying to blast my reputation. These are only the ex-particle findings of the board of commissioners. The controversy has never been judicially determined, no court or jury has ever passed on its merits. If I took the money wrongfully and appropriated it to my own use, I am guilty of a crime and should be punished. If the board will waive their right to hold my money by reason of the statute on voluntary payments, I will waive the statute of limitation, both civil and criminal, make a case of it and try it on its merits in the district court. If the man who was county treasurer at the time of these irregularities are said to have occurred or either of the three county commissioners who were members of the board at that time, were candidates instead of me, and their candidacy conflicted with the ambitions of certain gentlemen in Miami county, they would be compelled to answer for these irregularities instead of me. HIS INTEGRITY NEVER QUESTIONED. After my term as county clerk expired, I went into the hardware and furniture business in Paola. For four years the firm of Kelly & Allen did a business of about $30,000 a year and no customer of that firm or no wholesale house has ever had a dispute or a lawsuit on account of any business transaction with said firm. The failed National Bank of Paola, for which I was receiver, was wound up by me after having handled a large amount of money, and gone through a long series of litigation. It was closed up in a satisfactory manner to the depositors of the bank and I received especial commendation from the controller of the currency. Since I have been Assistant State Treasurer, I have received and disbursed more than $25,000,000, have been subjected to periodical examinations by a board of which the State Auditor, the best accountant in the state, is a member, and no question was ever raised by them as to the regularity of the manner of keeping the accounts of the state. SOUGHT TO PROMOTE HARMONY. I sought to promote harmony in Miami county politics at the late primary election held for the nomination of county officers. Many of my friends voted for the nomination of Major Remington for the legislature, believing that his resignation, above all others, would be a tendency to promote the General harmony. In the election of the delegates to the county convention, which elected delegates to a judicial convention, I and my friends were assured by Mr. Remington, Mr. Greason, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Shearer and nearly all of those who are leaders of the opposing faction, that there would be no hostile demonstration toward me, that it would be a county convention solely for the purpose of nominating Mr. Sheldon, judge for the judicial district. Many of my friends did not attend the caucuses. I was not in the town when the caucus was held. There was no issue in the election of delegates further than that it was thought that if the opposing faction were allowed to nominate the county ticket we could then all join in and help to elect it. I will receive as many votes in that county as any candidate on the state ticket. I will receive as many votes as Major Remington for the legislature, we will all carry the county and be elected. WILL STAY ON THE TICKET. It has recently been suggested by several newspapers that I should resign as a candidate for Treasurer in the interest of the whole ticket. In most instances the editors of these newspapers have been prompted by the influences which have sought my ruin in order to bring about that result. With a few exceptions I do not desire to question the honesty and sincerity of purpose of those publishers who have taken that position. Under no circumstances, however, can I accept the suggestion. Such a course would be a tactit admission of the truth of the charges which have been maliciously and falsely made against me and I cannot conceive of any conditions which would justly call for such a sacrifice on my part. I assert again that I have never knowingly had one penny of the money of Miami county which did not belong to me. I am not responsible for the political conditions which these charges have created. I do not yield to any man in devotion and loyalty to the Republican party and sincerely and earnestly desire its success, but I will not be coerced by political assassins into doing that which is not warranted by fairness and right. In justice to myself my family, my future, and to candidates who may hereafter be subjected to the same cruel and pernicious persecution which I have suffered, as well as the host of loyal friends who have honored me by their unfaltering confidence under the most trying circumstances, and with absolute faith in the sense of fair play never found wanting in the people of Kansas, I shall remain a candidate until the polls close on election day.

Dr. Shaffer's Good Work in Omana. The Omaha Enterprise pays the following tribute to the Rev. Dr. Shaffer, formerly pastor of St John's A. M. E. Church in this city. His many friends will be pleased to note the esteem in which he is held by our Nebraska neighbors: "The Rev. Dr. Shaffer, the affable and efficient pastor of St John's A. M. E. Church, closes his conference year, this Sunday. We are sure that we do but express the wishes of all classes in this community when we say t at we hope that he may be returned to his present pastorate. Dr. Schaffer has been a most faithful pastor during the year that he has been here. He has cheerfully complied with every reasonable request made upon him and has been a positive factor for good. His relationship with the various lodges and fraternities has been most cordial. Not only has he buried the dead of these societies, but in many cases has installed their officers. As Sunday closes his conference year, it is but fitting and just that those for whom he has done so much turn out in full force and show, in a tangible way, their appreciation of his worth as a Christain minister, an irreproachable gentleman and a loyal and true friend.

"Some years ago", said a cheerful preacher, "we inaugurated in our Sunday School thh practice of having the children quote scriptural texts as they dropped their pennies into the contribution box. On the first Sunday in question, a little shaver walked up and said; "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver", and dropped in his penny. "Charity shall cover a multitude of sins", and in dropped the next. "It is more blessed to give than to receive," quoted the third and so on. Just then up walked a little fellow with the unmistakable remnants of taffy candy on his chubby face and as he dropped his penny he bawled out, "A fool and his money are soon parted." The ladies of the Colored Orphan's Home will give their opening at the Home Thursday at which time they ask everybody to pay them a visit.
