Bryan speaks in Garnett on silver, crowd mixed in city park
Ex congressman W J Bryan of Nebraska spoke to a fair sized Garnett audience on the silver question. The crowd, smaller due to poor advertising, included Populists and Republicans with some Prohibitionists. Bryan urged his party to back free coinage or risk breaking with it, while others warned against fusion with Republicans. The editor notes an intelligent crowd and praises the visit, hinting at future mentions of his remarks.

Morrill as governor and the Kansas Prohibition fight
A Kansas agitator essays that voter trust in “business men” and “brave Godly” officials is misplaced. It criticizes Morrill for using public funds to pay campaign debts, failing to enforce the liquor law, and courting public sentiment over duty. The piece rails at Wall Street influence and porkbarrel politics while debating silver coin and soldiers’ pensions, ending with Wheat and Europe price talk from the Tepela State Journal.
