Dr. Wharten's pass as l. 8, 0S7. Dr. Whar-
ton is the populist candidate for congress
in the Third district. He gave Fred
Closes pass as L 1855. and Jim Liggate's
pase as l. 3.O41. He then went after Judge
John Martins scalp, and he took it very
successfully. He aired that gent leman' s
political record in good shape showing how
he has been trying for two years to break
into the Peoples party, and that
he is now in it. To illustrate Judge
Martins Democracy be made statement
of a conversation the Judge had with him
on July last. The Judge told him that

would make Click the boss of the Kansas
Democracy once more and give him the
patronage to dispose under Cleveland.
He then referred to the Populist candidate
for treasurer, w. II. Biddle of Augusta
and told Il story about him that created
quite sensation. Two years ago Biddle
got on his train and offered
him SO cents for his fare which
was only about one-third the actual fare,
stating that that was all he had etc. Mr..
Mitchell told him that he could not carry
him and that he must get off When Bid

about to pull the bell cord he went into
his pocket and pulled out an annual pass.

and had no reason for having pass and
the only conclusion l can arrive at is that
he was in the employment of the railroad
as "spotter." That is the kind of a man
he is" George w. Clicks pass is L 1874;
and by the way will tell you what kind of
Democrat he is. He made a speech in
Hutchinson only a few days ago aud in
that speech he stated positively that he
was Peoples party man for the past two
years. w. c. Jones, the state chairman
of the fusion party, carries pass also and
has no trouble in securing passes for his
friends. HIS pass is L2l23 on the Santa Fe
John Breidenthal, the Toplobampo
colonist and the present chairman of the
Peoples party, has pass also on all the
roads. He is one of the fellows that
is villifying his state by getting up scares
about the assassination of Jerry
Simpson by the Republicans. l want to
tell you that Jerry Simpson will be assas-
sinated at the polls next month, and be
will have his own mouth. and not the Re-
publican party, to blame for it. Now,
then, cannot conceive of any reason why
John Breidenthal should have Il pass, ex-

a pass. and it's number Is Il 2397' He
is the fellow who is always get
ting up some scare. He is tho
same chap who has raised the hue and cry
about the Importation of Tennessee mig
gers" to help out the Republican party.
Mr.. Mitchell then gave history of this
scare, and how he himself rs one of the
state board of railway commissioners
asked the companies to make rate in the
interest of the farmers of western Kansas
who had not sufficient help to store away
their grain. He said that outside of the
railway companies he himself helped many
men of Topeka to come to central
Kansas to harvest and that when they
returned to Topeka they paid back every
dollar he had lent them.
Mr.. Mitchell now turned his attention
to Tom Fritch of this city. ''He has
pass said he, land it is an annual pass
too. Why ne should have pass l do not
know, except that he is working in the
interest of the railways. I'll tell you
what kind of friend to the laboring man
he is and how he bulldOzes his de-
pendenus. | know he is chairman of the
alleged Democratic county committee
OF your county, but l don't care. l prefer
making these charges against him right
here to his face than to make them any,
where else. He told me in the presence of
a witness who is now in this house that
he has 100 men working for him and that
he will make every one Of them go to the
polls aud vote the fusion ticket or dis
charge them on the spot. II he wants to
let him stand up and deny it aud / will
produce the witness. More than that he
told me that he was the secretary or
Of q loan company and that he
h ad lawyers all through the district whom
he would compell to work for the election
of Jerry Simpson; that they were half
starved lawyers anyway and could net re-
fuse ana loose their job. Still more than
that he told me with his own lips that he
had mortgages on the homes of hundreds
of farmers throughout the district and
taht if they don't vote for Jerry
Simpson he will order their mortgages
forecIosed at once. l have never before
mentioned this conversation publicly, and
never will again, for believe in telling it
right here in his own town and before his
very nose. so to speak. than 10 talk it
anywhere else. l know O'Brien OF your
city, too, who, l understand wants to be
state senator. l want TO tell you Demo
Gratis what kind of "A Democ-a, he is. I
heard him say some time
ago, that If Democratic
ticket WAS put up he would not vote for

about Fitch that came nesr forgetting.

Jerry Simpson that in the event of his
