Five old party papers suspended and four new People's party papers started in only a few weeks. The old party papers suspended on account of debts and were sold at mortgage sale. Let's see: The Kansas republican league says: "Our debts stand for our investments, and not for our losses. They represent our enterprise, and not our misfortunes; our property, and not our poverty."

These papers were the old party investments. They represent their enterprise, and not their misfortune, their property and not their poverty.

—Council Grove Courier.
