N0TEs ON THE ELECTTON,

did at the state election in 1890. The
united vote of the Democrats and Re-
publicans fell off 1880, while the vote Of
the Peoples party was increased from
227 to 285 on county treasurer and to 28O
on the Office of register Of deeds.
The general Democratic and Republl-
can fusion on the office of circuit Judge,
enabled Judge Johnson in a vote OF A.
336 cast on that office in the city, to OBJ
tain majority of 9,712 in Topeka. The
'fusion" system did not work as we'll for
the Democrats on the offices Of sheriff
and county clerk, for in the city, John
Mileham ran Ais votes behind Sheriff
Wilkerson, and George Tsuber was 131
votes behind John M. Brown, county
clerk.
In the eighteenth district-Sedgwick
county-where Judge Christopher Reed,
Republican, had S67 majority four years
ago, the Republicans say they have again
"pulled him through" with the help Of
"Prince Hal"
In the twenty-seventh district, COM
posed of the counties of Finney, Ford,
Grey, Hamilton and Kearney, the Re-
publicans claim the reelection of Judge
A. ]. Abbott, who, four years ago, had
573 majority in the counties of Finney
and Hamilton.
In the twenty-ninth district-Wyan-
dotte county-where four years ago,
Judge Miller, Republican, had 44S, the
election of Henry s. Alden, Republican,
is now claimed. Also the claim Is made
that Thomas P. Anderson, Republican,
judge of the court of common pleas, Of
Wyandotte county, is elected.
And our circuit Judge of Shawnee,
J. B. johnson, may point with pride to
his combined Democratic and Republi-
can support, which is 80 beautifully
blended, "fused" prohibition (?) and
resubmisslon constituency! All, what
famous, famous, victory.
And in the Eighth district, comprising
the counties of Dickinson, Gesry and
Morris counties, the Republicans claim to
have elected James Humphrey, late
Democratic railroad commissioner, hold
ing their silence meanwhile as to being
a neat Democratic annex" Also in the
Twenty fifth district-Chase, Marion and
Mop eounties-they are rejoicing
with exceeding great joy. in the hope
that they have elected Lucien Earle, Re-
submission Democrat, thereby verifying
their Oft repeated declaration, that the
Republican party is the only Prohibition
party. These dear boasting Republicans
do not feel safe In proclaiming the tri-
umph of ]. s. West, their candidate for
judge in the Sixth district-Bour
Crawford and Linn counties-neither do
they feel sure of the triumph Of j. B.
Clogston, their candidate in the Twenty
sixth district-Butler and Greenwood
counties. And it may be said that they
are gracious to concede the triumph of
w. o. Bashore, the Peoples candidate
for Judge in the Twenty-eighth district
Kingman, Kiowa and Pratt counties.
They kindly admit victory tothe Peo-
pie Of one of the twelve candidates for
judges Of the court.

She Tells Sherman Some Plain Facts in Plain
Words.
FosToRIA, o., October II, 1891.

attention mas just Deen called 70 your
criticism Of "Seven Financial Conspira-
clss," in the Enquirer Of the 18th inst.
You say you first read the book with
'astonishment and surprise"
am not surprised at your astonlsh-
ment when you see the enormity Of your
acts summed up and presented to the
people in plain, matter Of fact way, and
that 1t should afford you amusement Is
only in keeping with character that
could deliberately plan such diabollsm.
You say that the "Seven Financial Con-
spiracies" are the seven great measures
by which the country was saved from the
perils Of war, and yet five Of these laws
we're not enacted until after the war had
closed.
Senator, will you attempt to say that
the contraction Of the currency In 1886,
the public credit strengthening act Of
1869, the refundlng act of 1870, the de-
monetization Of silver of 1873, or the re-
sumption act of 1878, were measures In
stituted to save the country from the
perils Of war that had successfully ter
minated In 1865? You certainly cannot
deceive the people by this speciouS argu-
nlent, and il they cannot trust you in this
what reliance can be placed on your 9TH
or statements?
You say the civil war was organized
by shareholders. 1t is true they we're
charged with the crime, but what Of Wall
street and the notorious Zach Chandler,
who openly asserted that 50 country was
not worth damn without blood letting"
and who through the agency Of the civil
war was elevated from q man Of "moder-
ate means" TO position of millionaire;
and, Senator, il | am rightly informed,
zachariah was not the only LOYAL north
ern man whose wealth was increased to
phenomenal proportions through the In
fernal agency.
You say it was the men whom l de-
nounce as "ShylockS" who furnished the
means for carrying on the war. All, did
they? You know il was because they
demanded such extortlonate rates of In
terest that the government resorted to
the issuance of Its own money; and you
know it was this government money-the
greenbacks that saved the country In
It's hour Of peril. In your speech at To-
ledo on the 14th inst. you expatlated
admirably upon the fact that all our
money is now as good as gold, but you
only pArentheticAlly and stammsringly
stated "it Is true the greenback was de-
preciated for time" Why did you not
then and there tell your audience of the
blighting effects Of this depreciation and
subsequent appreciation Of the green
back on the wealth producers Of the
countryS Why did you passSo hurrledly
over q matter Of such vital importsnceH
You acknowledge that the greenback was
purposely deprecated to create foreign
market for our bonds. Why did you not
also state that 1t was to create a market
for the gold which the "Shylocks" had
boarded for the purpose of specializing
upon the dire necessities Of the govern
ment?
Under the head Of the first conspiracy
you say, "The duties on imported goods
were required to be paid In coin in order

from above. You got yours from below
Senator, the fact that your worldly
possessions were marveIously augmented
during these years justIfes very gen
eral suspicion that you had fallen intC
"ways that are dark, ETC."
Under the fourth head the credit

maintain and still believe that by fall
construction of the loan laws we had 6
right to pay the principal Of the bonds
as they matured in greenbacks Of the
kind and character In existence when the
bonds were issued" Now this Is pre-
cisely the ground take In regard tC
this matter, therefore l see no occasion
for controversy upon this subject, though
I believe It is universally conceded thai
through this act of legislation the peo
pie were robbed Of hundreds Of millions
of dollars and It must ever be denounced
as one Of the most disbollc schemes ever
perpetrated against any people. -
The refunding act was simply scheme
to perpetuate the national debt and nc
amount Of glamour or sophistry will
make it appear otherwise in the minds
of debt ridden and tax-cursed people.
Under the head of demonetization oi
silver you again resort to your "honest
dollar" argument, and attempt to terror
lie the farmer and laborer by the feal
that they are going to be paid off ''ir
cheap money" Senator, this apprehen-
sion seems quite out of character on your
part, when we reflect that while ouI
country was in the throes Of civil war II
was through such legislaslon as you pre-
scribed that the soldier was paid in q
currency which you say was deprecated
in order to make a market for gold in
terest bearing bonds. This dlshodest
silver dollar over which you have 30 long
and loudly lsmented has no exception
clause upon it. 1t will buy as much as
q gold dollar, q national bank note or a
greenback; then why call It dlshonesti
Money can only be dishonest when its
purchasing power is impaired. II we
have ever had any dishonest money il
was that which Congress deprecated by
placing the exception clause upon it and
then compelled the soldier in the field
to accept 1t in payment for his services
VIII you make an affidavit that Ernest
Seyd, Of London, did not manipulate the
bill for the demonstration Of silveri
Senator Ingalls, excuses this infamous
act on the ground that both houses Of
Congress, the cabinet and president Of
the United States must have been hyp-
Noticed. Senator, were you hypnotized
on that memorable occasion?
British gold and Washington whisky
have been such prominent factors ir
American legislation during the pas
thirty years that one is hardly able tc
determine whether this was or was not 9
genuine case of hypnotization. Under
the head of resumption you claim this
crowning act to be the glory and pride
of the people of the United States. You
extol our credit, our productive interests
the development of our material re-
sources, but not one word have you tc
say Of the general Advancement and pros
perity of the masses. The truth Is, under
The advocate., 1891-11-11

you compare the patriotism Of the gold
king Of Wall street with that Of the SOL
der who faced death at the cannon's
mouth and received In payment money
which you say was purpCsely deprecated
to create q market for bonds, the interest
upon which was paid in gold, at time
when 1t required more than two dollars
OF the soldiers money to purchase one
dollar Of the bondholder's money.
Under the head Of the second con-
Spiracy you reiterste the threadbare
assertion that the national bank system
is the best that has ever been devised.
This Is the first time for more than q
year that / have found a person sufi-
GENTLY audaclouS to presume 80 much
upon the Ignorance Of the people. The
fact Is, the people are becoming enlight-
ened upon the vital questions Of the day,
and such perfidious statements fall power
less and harmless even from the lips of q
United States Senator.
Under the head Of the third conspiracy
Contraction you assert shat from the
beginning Of the war until this time the
volume Of the currency has been in
creaslng year by year more rapidly than
our population" and il l remember cor
rectly, you stated In your Toledo speech
that we now have more money per capita
than ever before. You also charge that my
statements in regard to the contraction Of
the currency "are not only misleading,
but absolutely false" Now, let us see II
1t is not Senator Sherman who Is at
tempting to mislead the people. Secre-
tary McCulloch, In his report for Decem-
Der, 1855, says we have about S2,0O0,0O0,-
600, nearly all In circulation among the
people. Again, the report for 1874 shows
only about $5OO,OOO,OOO In circulation,
and John A. Logan, ina speech in 1874,
in speaking of the depressed condition
Of the country, says: "This trouble is
money famine, and nothing more" Sem
ator Plumb also in 1883 stated that our
per capita circulation did not exceed $40,
and later placed It at even less amount.
Now, If l have made false statements In
regard to contraction Of the money vol
ume, 1t is only because have been de-
celved by the statements of those as high
and higher in authority than Senator
Sherman himself. Doubtless much Of
misunderstanding and accusations in re-
gard to this matter arises from the fact
that Senator Sherman does not call the
7 $40 treasury notes money, while on the
other hand Secretary Mccullough and
other good authorities include them In
our money volume.
You say my statements In regard to
this matter are palpable falSehoods, and il
stated by man would justify stronger
word. Very we'll, Senator; use your
strongest language, but please apply 1t
where 1t belongs to your colleagues, Sec
retary Mccullough and Senator Plumb.
You say you were not In favor of con-
traction Of the greenbacks, and made 9
speech against It, / am aware of that fact,
and made quotation from your speech,
showing that your views were correct on
that subject. Your views we're also cor
rect when in 1858 you said, "The bond
holder can demand only the kind Of
money he paid and he Is q repudiator

Idaho City home, and reports the
place exceedingly dull.
Conductor Lane returned last
Monday from trip to Iowa. He
was absent about month, and we
suspect has been over in Ohio a
part of the time electioneering for
Mckinley. He returned looking
we'll and smiling as usual.
Grover Marlatt was in town few

Mrs. Fred. K. Gillette left for
Boise City last Monday to visit her
daughter, Mrs. J. B. Hastings, and
will be gone until after the holidays.
Meanwhile Fred. will act as chief
cook at the Gillette domicile, but
he has not yet decided to take
boarders, We believe. Not because
he entertains any doubts as to his
ability to manage the cuisine, but
simply because of the bother of the
business. We wish Mrs. Gillette
pleasant visit, and trust she will
find enough Of her China-ware in
tact to "set the table" when she
gets home.
