To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
Gen. Weaver spoke here to-day to an
immense crowd Of whites and blacks,
who went wild with enthusiasm at his
double ended exposition Of the gospel of
the labor party. Yesterday the demo
cratic and Peoples party candidates for
governor spoke here. The democrats
brought brass band, turned out with q
four-ln- hand in livery, were profuSe with
flowers and bunting, yet the democratic
voters came not. To-dsy's meeting
showed that the boys knew where the
good things would come from, and were
on hand to pay tribute to our gallant
standard bearer.
A significant feature everywhere Is the
new badge in the south-a strip Of corn
shuck tied In the button-hole or pinned
on the lapel Of the coat. At the close of
the meeting, an old democratic farmer
came to the general and requested that
Cleveland and Stevenson badge be re-
moved and that Weaver then and there
dedicate him knight Of the corn-shuck,
which was at once done. The best Of
feeling sbounded everywhere, and hun
dreds who were on the fence fell over on
the Peoples side. The People are In II,
and the south will Gnswer Kansas.

To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE.

10 the Editor OF The ADVOCATE.
No doubt you have heard considerable
of the "labor exchange" system, and as |
am one of It's strongest advocates In the
state Of Kansas, l should like you to bear
with me just long enough TO introduce
one proposition cropping from the study
of equitable trade and the functions Of
the medium Of exchange. The matter we
propose Is the most important that should
occupy the minds of our most advanced
reformsrS Of the day.
We shall endeavor TO introduce to our
next state Legislature for passage bill
which will correct all sxtOrtion In inter
ests, shortage Of trading medium, entirely
wipe out the national banks and correct
many other abuses now in vogue, by
states, independent of all laws on finance
now in force in the United States. 1t will
be a simple little act that viii cover
nearly ell the trouble of the Kansas peo-
pie, and can be put into effect in a very
short time at slight expense with saw
ing OF millions Of dollars yearly to the
worthy producers and consumers Of the
state which adopts IL.
We should like to have the address of
every man or woman who expects TO sit
in our next legislature or have influence
in the passage Of laws expected to be for
the general welfare Of our people. We do
not wish to lntrude upon your time MOI
space now, but wish it to be fully under
stood that we mean business, and ask the
cooperation Of all true " "cranks." If we
can get the aid necessary, further de-
velopments will be made at the proper
time. We have no axe to grind, neither
do we ask for funds; but we do invite
sympathy and intelligent cooperation on
the part OF those who have power to
bring about this early and permanent
amelioratlon Of the wage slaves of Kan
saV, which will then soon spread JOY over
America and the world.

the best republican authority, which left
Hoch and Moore the alternative Of either
accepting Hart'B statement or denying
the testimony of their own apostles.
There was q good crowd present, Of
which about so per cent. were of the
Peoples party. The general sentiment
was that the republicans were worsted

The burden Of costly money must be
removed, and q system Of money for the
benefit Of the whole people, at once
cheap, convenient, equitable and sbun-

done whenever a majority of the people
In their political action demand il.

Of THE ADVOCATES:

To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE:
E. w. Hoch, republican candidate for
representative from this county, and J..
W. Moore, defeated candidate for con-
gress for the Fourth district, engaged In
joint debate to-day at Elk, Chase
county, with II. s. Martin (demOcrat), Of
this place, and ]. W. Hart Peoples
party, Of Enterprise. The subjects dis
cussed were tariff and finance. Mr.. Hart
made the principal speech for the Peo-
pies party, and Mr.. Moore for the other
side. Moore was thoroughly disconnected
by the unAnswsrable argument used
against his pet theories. Hooh only spoke
about thirty minutes, and merely in
dulged in 8 few commonplace generall-

the legislature by any political party was
the maximum rate bill which passed the
Peoples party house Of representatives
two years ago, and which was killed by
the republican senate. The speaker said
that the importation Of negroes in the
Seventh district is in keeping with re-
publican election methods, and that the
Idea is worthy Of the man who originated
the force bill. This measure Mr.. Level
ling denounced as the most damnable
scheme ever invented to destroy an hon.
est ballot and fair count.
His perorstion was one Of the most
eloquent passages ever heard on the
Kansas stump. With convincing truth
and straightforward argument he told
what the people of Kansas had borne
how they have been deceived, and
stated that the Peoples party ls party
truly Of the people, its every principle is
for the common good, and its every aim
for the best welfare of the state and ma
ton.
A court stenogrspher named Hender-
son, from Topeka, took Mr.. Lewelling's
speech, supposedly verbatim, for the re-
publican state central committee.
Judge s. H. Snider, Of KIngman, fol-
lowed Mr.. Lewelllng in speech full of
good Peoples party doctrine. Mr..
Snlder denounced the Daily Capital as
the greatest disgrace to Kansas, and said
that he was glad to know the best ele-
ment of republicanlsm did mot uphold 1t
In it's course Of heaping cslumnY on the
people Of Kansas. "The statement that
the Peoples party disgraces the state"
said the speaker, Is very amusing. As
a representative of the Peoples party, /
devoted part Of campaign to Ohio. I
stayed sober, spoke In the interests ofmy
party, and represented only the truth
about Kansas. The republicans also sent
man who was to refute the so-called
lies Of the Popullsts, and to represent
Kansas as she ought to be represented.
One evening In the hotel where stop
ped, this republican representative OF
Kansas was knocked down in drunken
brawl. Being q prominent man, his dis
grace was published everywhere, and who
can say that 1t benefited our state? This
is the way Lew Hanback, stands up for
Kansas"
Mr.. SnideF'S speech was replete with
bright hits and sound logic, and was re-
ceived with enthusiasm. At It's close he
called for three cheers for the party,
which were given with hearty will.
Your correspondent finds that there
have been many conversions from the re-
publlcans In Rossville township during
the present campaign, and that the Peo-
ple's party will cast larger vote than
ever In November. A prominent alliance
man Of Willard says: ain 80 there were
fourteen republicans In my immediate
vicinity. Seven of these men are now
solid for the Peoples party, yet l know
Of no Populist in 80 who has left his
party" y
