BY l.. T.
The above letter was received by 9
well known citizen of Lyon township
in this county, and we place it in evi.
dence so that our deluded friends who
still cling 10 the tenets of the peoples
party may see for themselves the harm
that has resulted and will result In q
victory by that party. Representing
the borrowers and poorer class of cit
liens, we have always held that We
cannot afford to drive capital from
our state. 1t is well enough to call
ill moneyed or prosperous men "gold
bugs" and "Shylocks." and "robbers"
and there is perhaps no language
strong enough TO use on men who are
better off than We are, but when it
comes to the reputation of just debts
and legislating against all capital and
manufacturers and general prosperity
we can follow the lead no longer.
And were we inclined to take add
vantage of our friends who have given
US credit whereby we were enabled TO
buy farms and build homes, no laws
which could he enacted by Kansas
legislature would stand before any
just tribunal Of the land. Kansas is a
very small fraction Of our Nation and
the fallacies Of the peoples party of
Kansas are held in utter contempt by
the people of mos, other states. {
We know that the citizens of Kan
sas are as a rule in favor of honest
Jaws and good government, and out

Jailed TO obtain foothold in the old
parties are in the main, law abiding
people, but through the influence of
lemagogues, fanatics and visionary
schemes they have been led astray and !
ire identified for the time being with

redit of Kansas.

UGH is not the case. II we can but

1t is not men this time, but princi-
