some reason did not wish just at pres
emit to commit itself either for or
against the new party in the conven-
tion. He was therefore instructed,
when the question was likely to come
to a vote, to absent himself from the
hall. As Kentucky was holding a
convention at Covington, across the
river, he accordingly went over there

ON RECIPROCITY AND THE SOLDIER
RESOLUTION.

RESOLUTION.
The Ashland Journal says it has
received a letter from the county Or
ganizer of the Knights Of Reciprocity
of Comsnche county, asking whether
Clark county wouldn't organize, and
while he did not know he believed
the Republicans Of his county had
seen enough Of secret political organ
izstions, and he thinks the Republi-
can party is q good enough organiza-
tion, free from secret plotting, open
and fair. That kind of freedom
would not well apply to managing
Republicans in this section.
The Journal, as late as May Is,
adheres to the Fletcher Meredith
representation of the soldier resolu-
tion that was adopted at meeting Of
the editors of the reform press of the
state at Hutchinson last February. It
makes the following statements and
inquiry:
While in Hutchinson recently the editor Of the
Meade ReDUbItcGD took pains to look up the
matter and secured the afIidavits Of three per-
sons who swear that they were present and
heard the resolution read. A shorthand student
took It on the margin Of newspaper and In this
way It's authenticity has been established. Old
soldiers, what do you think Of 1t?
And yet these papers in southwest
en Kansas could get the facts in the
premises were they able to devote
more time 10 reading and were less
under the influence Of party preju-
dice.

JUDGE BOTKIN SUSTAINED.

AS was expected, the Kansas Sem
ate, sitting as a high court Of impeach-
ment, has exonerated Judge Botkin
from guilt Of the offenses charged
agsinst him. This is in perfect har-
mony with the entire suicidal policy
Of the Republican party in this state.
It is deemed necessary to justify
every remaining member of the par
ty in whatever he may do, be it right
or wrong. We are perfectly satisfied
with the decision. If the party thinks
itself able to carry the load we GER
tainly cannot object. We shall have
more TO say upon this subject here
after. Like the dynamite investiga-
tion, it will not spoil with age, and
we shall have occasion to use it in
good time.
The advocate., 1891-05-27
RATIFY.

It is recommended that each Sub
Alliance and industrial organization,
at it's next regular meeting, take up
and discuss the platform adopted at
Cincinnati. Do not be hasty in ac-
tion, however, in this matter. Give
every proposition q thorough ex-
animation upon it's merits. Discuss
it thoroughly. Extend the discus
sion, if necessary, until every ques-
tion is understood by all. Do this
dispsssionately and let the ratifca-
tion be unanimous. This is the foun-
dation upon which we build. II is
the banner around which we must
rally and march to victory in '92.
The principles embodied in it consti-
tute the hope of industrial liberty
and progress in America.

OUR NEW PARTY.
I THE ADVOCATE,

To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE.
Without the aid Of any leaders, the
Peoples party Of the United States Of
America has sprung into existence. It
Is spontaneous production, born Of the
necessities Of the people and the de-
msnds Of the period. 1t comes because
no earthly power can stop it. It is in
keeping with the spirit Of the age. It is
q party that will know no north, no
south, no east, no west, but one common
country with one common flag floating
over people who are leading the van
guard Of human civilization and pro-
gress; party that will aim to secure
liberty, equality and justice to all and
will recognize the universal brotherhood
Of men. 1t will acknowledge unbounded
faith In the ability Of the common people
Of this republic for self government, and
recognize as the supreme law Of the
land, the win Of majoritles legally and
honestly expressed at the ballot box. It
is party that endorses the principles Of
Thomas jefferson and Abrrham Lincoln.
It is party that takes for it's guide the
golden rule and not the rule OF gold. It
10 party whose chief cornerstone Is la
Dor and the inalienable rights Of humani-
ty; and whose chief object Is to right

A GREAT BLUNDER.

During our absence at Cincinnati,
by some unaccountable blunder the
majority report of the dynamite In
vestigating committee was published
in The ADVOCATE. A copy of the re-
port was left at this Office soon after
il was agreed upon, but it was not in
tended for publication until 1t had
been submitted to the Governor. We
gave particular instructions to this
effect before leaving for Cincinnati,
but it found its way to the public
during our absence nevertheless.
This explanation is due to those who
gave us the copy. It's publication

THE LABOR QUESTION.

The following resolutions reflect the
sentiment Of the Cincinnati conven-
tion upon the question Of shorter hours
for employees Of corporations:
Resolved, That as eight hours constitute le-
gal days work for government employees In me-
chanical departments, we believe this principle
should be farther extended so as to apply to all
corporations employing labor In the different
states Of the union.
Resolved, That this conference condemns In
unmeaSured terms the action Of the directors OF
the Worlds Columbian exposition on May 10, In
refusing the minimum rate Of wages asked for
by the labor organizations Of Chicago.

The editorial buu-Saw Of the Lawrence Record
makes the mistake Of tackling the profound,
able, discriminating and persplcaclOus critlclsm
In these columns OF the presidents speeches
We begin TO fear that the eloquent editor OF the
Record iS jealous OF General Harrison. Capital
Beg pardon. but we have not noticed any ''pro-
found" ct AZ, criticism in the Capital OF the
presidents speeches. LaudatiOn In plenty we
grant, but criticism comprehendS quality Of
judgment In expression, to which fOr some un-
accountable reason, the editorial columns Of the
Capital are stranger. AS TO the latter sentence,
we begin to fear that the editor Of the Record
has about as much chance In the next election as
General Harrison.
Indulging in some not distant rem
iniscences it may be said that in
Douglas county, where the Record is
published, Humphreys vote in 1880
was 805 below Harrison's in 1888, and
that there was Republican loss in
the county in period Of two years
Of 1885.
But just let one pause to notice in
the same time the unparalleled Repub-
lican detection in Shawnee county,
where federal, state, county, city and
many other collective rings have been
in full blast, and where the Capital
is published, whose editor and pro-
prietor was chairman Of the committee
ON resolutions in the last. Republican
state convention, and who was the
journalistic Republican boss in the
marvellous campaign of 1890 Let
Shawnee, the banner Republican
county of Kansas, for the nonce be
noticed in it's past fidelity and in its
devotion to Harrison, Hudson, ct al.
In 1883 Harrison's vote in the county
was 1857 and his majority was 3,840,
having 66.9 per cent. Of the vote. In
1890 Humphrey had 4,940 votes in
the county and he was in a minority
Of 267, thus showing a Republican
loss of 4,107. And in the municipal
election in the capital city in 1891
one Of the ''H" rlngsters running for
mayor was badly defeated. Verify
Mr.. Hudson's talk about re-electing
Harrison president in 1892 is just
about Of as much consequence as the
prsttling Of a child. In fact, his edi-
torial matter frequently suggests the
thought that he is fairly in the stage
of second nhildhnnd.

We desire to congratulate the Gin

THE BOTKIN INVESTIGATION.
% the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.


To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
The Senate, in acquitting Judge Bot
kin, has lowered the standard Of judicial
dignity In this state to degree that
must be an everlasting disgrace TO the
state. Il has said by its vote thaS q
Judge can drink whisky with criminals
who are on trial before him and COM
init no offense for which he may be inn
peached; that he may freely drink (and
this was proven by his own witnesseS)
with court officers, jurymen, witnesses
and litigantS and yet not disgrace and de-
bauch the judicial dignity to such an ex-
tent as to require removal. II has said
to the people Of Kansas that judge may
be caught breaking into the rear window
Of q whisky joint, when the proprietor
was absent and the place locked up, to
get whisky, and commit no crime for
which he may be removed from Office.
This fact was also proven by his own
Witnesses. 1t has said that Judge may
illegally restrain American citizens OF
their liberty through mere spite and
malice and 60 scott free. It has said
that judge may connive with Shieving
attorneys, as l believe, to roba city, using
the panniers Of his Office to consummate
the robbery-s fact which remains un-
explained to-dsy-and still be Judge. ]
am satisfied thai, Judge Botkin is not fit
TO be justice Of the peace and should
and would have been convicted before
any fair and impartial jury. The fact
that a majority Of the best Senators who
heard the evidence voted to convict him,
thoroughly justifes the House in bring
ing the prosecution. Those Senator's
who voted TO aequit him will never ex-
plain their votes to the satisfaction Of
the people Of Kansas.
With a few exceptions, the attorneys
Of Judge Botkin would have been dis
grace to the lowest specimen Of police
court in the slums Of a city, much less
a high court of Impeachment. In proof
of this I refer you TO the speech Of w.
p. Hackney.

who voted for conviction on the ninth
and tenth articles. And TO those who
voted for acquittal in the face Of such
overwhelming evidence Of guilt, have
to say, God pity you, but the people Of
Kansas can't afford TO.
Another fact l wish to mention. It
was admitted that the Judge was fire.
