blood Of our oppressors."
Even as late as last week the chairman of
the state central committee declared that
if the returns by the county boards were
not in strict accordance with those he had
received from Populist agents, he would
cause the violent death of every commits
sioner so offending. The principal Populist
candidate for United States senator, and
the one likely to be named by that party, is
the man who, while judge on the bench,
declared publicly that the user of property
has prior rights over the owner, and is en-
titled to use such property without molesta-
tion as long as be deems it to his advantage
to do 80.
In brief, the doctrine advocated is to take
from those who have and divide with those
who have not. ia.
Mrs. Emery's letter is sufficient
criticism of this special. Further
comment is unnecessary.

IF THEIR DEMANDS FOR RELIEF ARE NOT
GRANTED.
[Frorn a speclal CORRESPONDENT ]


Topeka, KAs., November 22,-SOcialism
is rampant in Kansas as result of the
Alliance campaign of recent months. It
began with denouncing the "Shylocks," the
''Wall street jews" the 'money sharks" "
the 'bankers." This CRY was taken up by
speakers and lecturers. Their text books
were the writings of George, Donnelly,
Bellamy and Most. Little by little the peo-
pie have become used TO the doctrines Of
anarchy until they are now preached every
where and Kansas is literally in possession
of the anarchists.
The first speech Of the new dispensation
was made six months ago at Caldwell, by
q comparatively unknown man advocating
the ''bayonet and the TORCH" Three months
later, Mrs. Emery, goddess whom western
Populists apparently worship, entered the
state for series of meetings. Her first
speech was the one repeated all over the
state, and everywhere she aroused un-
bounded enthusiasm. In that speech she
predicted an uprising of the masses, who
would cause the streets and lanes to flow
with blood if their demands were not
granted. She said:
81 predict that the next administration at
Washington will attempt 70 establish an
empire founded upon wealth unjuetly

HOW TIE COUNTIES VOTED.

The counties of Barton, Miami,
Russell, Sumner and Wyandotte gave,
in the aggregate, 7l9 more votes for
Harrison in 1892 than in 1888; but
these only five counties Of the 106 in
Kansas, which thus increased their
vote for the republicans, gave Weaver
2,710 more votes than the united vote
of Cleveland and Streeter in 1888.
In Sumner the increase for Harri-
son was; 3; in Barton, 28; in Miami,
73; in Russell, 154; in Wyandotte,
261.
For Weaver, the gain over the COM
bined vote above named, was 135 in
Russell, 285 in Miami, 485 in Barton,
619 in Sumner, and 1,186 in Wyan-
dotte.
The Harrison increase in four years
was III; the opposition increase was
2,71O; only the slight difference of
1891. And yet ourrepublican friends,
two weeks after the election, continue
to boast of their great gains. Great
-!
Harrison leads in forty-six of the
1O6 counties of the state; Weaver and
Field in sixty of them.
The copeland" farmer Of Nc
Pherson has pluralities IN forty-nine
of the counties Of Kansas; the philan-
thropic, sensible business man of
Sedgwick leads in fifty-seven counties.

The total vote cast in Michigan for
president this year is $4,000 less than
it was four years ago. The decrease
is surprising, indeed, In view of the
increase of the population meanwhile,
which has been sufficient to warrant
a total vote of $4,000 in excess of the
vote of 1883. The republican party
suffered the most, as thousands Of re-
publicans, while they would not vote
for Harrison, could not vote for Mr..
Cleveland, and the only way left For
them to express their dissatisfaction
with the administration was, as they
thought, to stay at home. They did

across the street and finally got an opportu-
nifty TO tear it down and make off with it;
but the flag was recovered before it was
destroyed. The harness Of Laws Mann's
team was cut. Jap Miller's harness was also
cut to pieces. Frank Jacques team was
hitched in the outskirts of town, but they
hunted it up and cut his harness to pieces
and chopped off his horses tails. They out
the harness of several others whose names
we were unable to learn. They broke Ole
Oleson's windows. And they took lap robes
from buggies hitched about and smesred
them with filth and placed them back in
the vehicles, 80 that ladies and others get
ting into them in the darkness had their
clothes ruined.
These are samples of the depredations
that this gang of vagabonds thought to be
smart way to crafty their depraved and
spiteful souls. It will be noticed that all
the acts were such as could be safely done
in the darkness by even the most cowsrdly.
These crimes were committed by lot OF
fellows who would be considered disgrace
to a well conducted penitentiary. They
were mostly yonng men and boys, some OF
them of respectable families, as is usually
the case in such low down Williams. They
should be arrested, and doubtless will be. as
some Of them are known, and the whole
gang should be severely punished for their
misdseds. That much can yet be done for
the credit Of the town.
AS for the boys among them, if they are
not checked in their downward course, they
are far slong on their way to the reform
school and the penitentiary where they be-
long. They are already due there, and
when there should not be allowed to pollute
the society of ordinary thieves with too close
an association. The only excuse that can
be given for them, is the poor, pitiful and
Cowardly one, that the ignorant fools may
have been drunk at the time.
The victims of the outrages were all well
known democrat or Peoples party men,
and the bowling band of ruffians who an
poyed the procession with boots and Jeers
were all republicans. This much cannot
be denied, however much it may be denied
that the republican party is responsible for
their actp. While, Of course, no respectable
republican can endorse or be held respon-
sible for such outrageous proceedings as
these, yet the republican party is respon-
sibls for them TO certain extent. The CITY
and county is under republican control and
all the means for the administration of
justice are in their hands, and their officials
know or can ascertain who the guilty parties
are. They could have prevented the occur
rences and they have the power to punish
the criminals.

CONoENTRATD OUssEDNEss.

Of the election was declared, to take
his republican adversary by the hand
and forgive him of al the meanness
that bad been perpetrated during
the campaign, if the latter would only
show disposition to reform? We
think not, and we verify believe that
even the democrats would have shown
similar disposition. But what do
we find the prevailing spirit in the
defeated partyG Simply q spirit of
double distilled depravity aud dia-
bolicsl desire to destroy, all growing
out of too long continued domina-
tion.
In some localities this spirit even
pervades the school room and the
church, for we have heard OF preach
ers, since the last election, deprecat-
ing the further success of the new
political party, while teachers, whose
greatest accomplishment is their
prejudice, have driven the same into
the minds of their pupils.
And so it is not much wonder that
while Kansas is the most enlightened
state in the union, we have class
among us who have degenerated to
the level of the criminal classes in
the east and south. And no wonder
that our state is disgraced by such
occurrences as was reported from
Troy last week, a better account of
which is given below. A similar in
cident occurred at Sedan, as shown
by the following report dated No
vember 10:
This evening during ratification meet
ing, the carriage that went to the depot
along with the torch light procession was
stoned, and upon the return Of the pro-
csssion Mr.. ]. G. Lewis was struck on the
side OF the head by stone. Mr.. Lewis is
large man and somewhat resembles Hon.
JEFF Hudson. The person who threw the
stone that hit him was out in dark part
OF the street. Mr.. Lewis is the man who
was interrupted by republican hoodlums at
Cedar Vale while making speech the week
before. This thing OF throwing stones and
eggs looks like scarcity of arguments and
will probably prove dangerous pastime in
the future.
These things have occurred at a
number of places, and they do not re-
feet much credit upon the rule or
ruin element that stood up for Kan
sas before the election, but now stand
for anything that is contemplate
and despicable aud dastardly. De-
void of decency, their desperation has
become a disease and they are capable
of almost anything.
The Troy Times of November Is
recites the following:
At the time of the democratic parade,
these ill-nstured blackguards were unable
to restrain their brutal propensities and
showed their spite at the rejoiCings of their
neighbors by every means that debased
mind could suggest, limited only by their
fears of their cowsrdly hearts. They took
advantage of the darkness, at some times,
and at others of the absence Of the process
sion in other parts OF town and after the
latter was off the streets and assembled in
the meeting in the court house, to perpetu-
ate their malicious acts. A mere recital of
few samples Of their roWdyism is enough.

Secretary Coulter OF the p. OIL. Conven-
ton is Timid.
The patrons Of ind ustry held three
sessions - usual yesterday, the morn
ing session being chiefly occupied in
hearing and passing on various re-
ports. The committees on taxation
AMI legislation submitted reports
which furnished subjects for discussion
during the forenoon. Considerable
discussion followed . proposition to
give reporters of the daily papers ac-
cess to tho reports and resolutions that
had been disposed of by the body while
in session. The convention appointed
a committee on publication, of which
+. H. Coulter. = rural minister, is eec-
rotary, with instructions to prepare q
report of each days proceedings for
the daily papers. Last evening tho
clergyman-secretary was courteously
asked by representatives of the prees
for an outline Of the days proceedings
and received tho answer, 81 don't have
to tell what wo DONE" He refused
to give any information whatever con-
corning the deliberations of the ascot
alton. The manner in which the secre-
tary received the reporters WAS ex.
planned to President Partridge and
other members of the order who went
to the puffed-up man of the gospel and
requested him to adhere to the duties
of his position. but he was obdurate.
An intelligent member remarked that
the matter would be brought before
the association at its session this MORN
ing in the form of 3 resolution to per.
NIT reporters to take copies Of resolu-
tons and reports that have been passed
upon by the convention.
At the afternoon session the time was
manly occupied in tho election Of off,

cation. which meets in Toledo, March

Four delegates to the supreme aseo-
ciation were then elected. The pro-
cecdings Of tho evening sessIon could

held with closed doors and the CON-
mittee in charge would impart nothing

that the political papers OF the country
