Kansas Agitator

Lost, strayed or stolen: A fog-horn blowing vociferously in favor of free coinage of silver and increase of the currency. Was seen and heard all over the second district for three weeks previous to the late election, but since has been missing, and it is very much feared that it has been captured by the White House ring, B. Harrison, Esquire, chief cook and bottle-washer. Any person who can give information of its whereabouts will confer a favor on the constituency of the Second Kansas congressional district.

The above appeared in the Free Press of recent date. Now we presume that "Farmer" Funston is the "fog-horn" that the Free Press has reference to. If so, we submit the following, which we clip from the Kansas City Star of recent date.

"Farmer" Funston favors the plan of distributing the Indians through Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana. Mr. Funston has legged for several appointments at the Haskell Institute in Lawrence, and is therefore thoroughly familiar with the Indian question.

We give this not only as information, but also as a notice to "Farmer" Funston's fourth-class postmasters, henchmen and supporters, that the good people of the Second district of Kansas will kick like bay steers if Fog-Horn, alias Funston, attempts to favor distributing a tribe of Indians through the Second congressional district instead of attempting to carry out the free coinage and increase of currency measure that he pretended to be so much in favor of just before the late election. We can conceive of but one reason for Fog-Horn's plan of increasing the population of those states by distributing the Indians among them, and that is, that they may be used as Ingalls' hired Hessians and mercenaries, seeing that elections in those states will be of much importance in '92.
