A colorful township verse mocks aspirants for postmaster amid local bustle.

The piece contrasts the power of compound interest with usury and cites a legislature's investigating committee into boodlers. It urges vigorous prosecution and removal of corrupt officials, urging Populists to demand integrity and accept minority status over a party tainted by boodlers.

The Kansas Review notes H B Kelley touts Senator W A Harris as a unifier of factions and a foe of reformers while Kansans diverge on Populist leanings and loyalty.
