When the tocsin Of war sounded Harri-
son went; Cleveland did not go; he re-
NAMED at home He had no wife, bu;
thought he would feel better at Buffalo.
Harrisons left young and beautiful wife
and stood between the flag and the de-
stroysrs OF this grand government. To-
day he is watching at her bedside and the
nation hopes she may be saved to him.
Is it true this tale of woe that this Third
party tells? 1t seems that nine of these
men IN congress representing this Peoples
party have form ulated nothing and actu
ated no legislation. Kansas in the fifty
first congress stood above all with her
Perkins. Peters, Morrill,, Funston. Iugalls
stood in the front. The London tailors
assembled in convention and declared
themselves the working men of England
these nine men declared themselves the
people The bowling dervishes were
like the Kansas walters - CRYING their
tale of woe, and representing Kansas as
suffering. He illustrated by the Dutch
man and his wife who lived together for
years when the wife died on a Saturday.
buried on Monday and he was married on
Wednesday. The. boys gave him sere-
made. He appealed TO their sympathies
and when tine boys were giving him taste
of noise not very musical, he stepped out
and says, Boys, aughten you be ashamed
to do SO when there has just been funeral
in this house"
The speaker then showed the glorious
record of Kansas. She was settled by
men who came here with the magic book
and the rifle and they came that Kansas
might be free. They have made her a
place in that flag the brightest in the con-
stellation. and will she now under the
guise of the Alliance party swing herself
party of hundred years. That flag
which floats as the emblem of liberty,
freedom, Christianity and is loved by all
nations, all people; shall it give way to the
extinguished, disgraceful damned flag OF
the dead Confederacy? Here the speaker
was lost in the deafening applause which
drowned for minutes the eloquent perora-
ton. He closed with thanks for the grand
reception.
A. w. Smith was introduced and said In
substance that be appreciated this fine
demonstration but considered it as much
a compliment to the model citizen and
patriot, Colonel NJ. NJ. Murdoch. as to
himself. He came here nineteen years ago
and took homestead for his wife and lit
lie ones. He came now to the metropolis
of the state which he hoped and believed
would eventually rival Chicago in bust
ness and Importance. He would discuss
local affairs. 1t was represented that peo-
pie were starving, that Kansas was bank
rupt. How different from the glorious
representation by ingalls, and Plumb,
whose records are EN- blazoned on pages of
history. Who represents Kansas now! In
congress by WHAT and that a
product of Wichita We will hereafter
send old-time representatives. The Re
publican party is making this fight to re-
deem Kansas from the calamity howlers.
The protective policy inaugurated and
SO successfully working to the in
terests of labor and business
must be continued, and we can
continue the good work by electing Re
publican representatives, the Republican
ticket from top to bottom. Republican
success in Kansas means success in bust
ness. means redeeming the state from the
calamity reputation she has. The speaker
said he was born in Maine but if be had
his say, or was to be born again he would
be born in Kansas for he loved her in all
she was great and glorious. He would
not act with the Peoples party. They
have lied about Kansas; they have sent
out the impression that people in Kansas
are starving. Jerry Simpson, Mrs. Lease,
Senator PETER have given US a reputation
that has done us great harm and in no
sense any good. When the Peoples party
legislature sit in Topeka every day the
property of Kansas deprecated in value.
Simpson and PETER made tour of the
east and told the people of those great
centers that the people of Kansas We're SO
in debt that they could never pay the in
terest on their debts. At this time a syndi-
cate sent a man to follow them and nego-
tiate the papers, loans and securities on
Kansas property and merchandise and
bought them in for fifty cents on the dol
lar. The eastern capitalists became
alarmed, scared, aud were anxious to dis
pose of Kansas securities. What is or
was the origin of the Peopls party?
Some years ago the people of this coun-
try got ON boon-a sort of speculative
drunk-and every body went into specula-
ton. You all know the history and that
depreciation in property values was the
result and people could not meet their OBJ
legations. About this time men came here
from Texas and ostensibly for the purpose
of organizing the Farmers Alliance for
self-protection, and while the farmers were
busy they turned the organization into
politics and used it for political purposes,
and that political soreheads might get into
control and into office.
The Republicans in 1883 went before the
people and defined policy and made GER
tain pledges and the result was Harrison s
election. We had control of all depart
rnents of the government. Ia congress the
Democrats resorted to every species Of
filibustering to retard and defeat legisla.
ton. and misrepresentation followed and
before time had elapsed to prove the bene
ficient laws of the Fifty-first congress the
people passed Judgment ulon il
and condemned 1t, but time has
proven the wisdom OF that congress
and the people will sustain and carry out
the best laws ever enacted. He favored
more power in the hands of the interstate
commerce commission. He would have
their powers so enlarged both in the
national congress aud under municipal
government that equal aud just measures
be adopted and the transportation cues

as any man in Kansas when in the legisIa
