SOME KANSAS POLITICAL HISTORY OF FIF-
TEEN YEARS AGO.

TEEN YEARS AGO.
In the centennial year of this
American republic there was very
considerable degree of political ex-
citement in Kansas among the diff
ferent political organizations.
The Independent Reform party in
its declaration Of principles was op-
posed to all banks Of issue; it de-
manded that the act of Congress
creating the national banking SYSTEM
be repealed; that the paper of the
government Of the United States be
substituted for the notes Of the Ma
tional banks; that such paper cur
rency be made legal paper in the
payment of debts, public and private;
and that the same be received for all
demands of the government, includ-
ing duties on imports; that the act
of Congress required the resumption
Of specie payment in 1879, and the
substitution Of the inferior currency
OF the national banks in place of
government paper was a fraud
and an outrage and the demand
was made that congress Immediate
ly pass bill for its unconditional
repeal, and while demanding the
immediate restoration Of silver
standard of value and a legal ten
der II also demanded that Congress
shall place q tax upon all incomes of
over fifteen hundred dollars per an
mum.
Mr.. Joseph K. Hudson, now editor
Of the Topeka Capital, was then sup
porting the Reform" party, land Hon.
Samuel J JCrawfordSmsde the race for
Congress against Hon. Thomas Ryan,
then running as Republican candi-
date for the first term in a Congress
sional race.
Mr.. Ryan is now the minister from
our Government to Mexico and
Messrs. Crawford and Hudson are
servile Republicans.
