THAT FARCE CONVENTION.

The much advertised convention of
the unterriied Democratic kiCkers
which met on the 21st, at Harrington,
Kan, was q great disappointment to
them, as we'll as their Republican
abettors. 1t did not pan out as those
promoters hoped it would. The good
people Of Harrington had made great
preparations, and consequently were
very much disappointed.
The newspaper men present nearly
made a majority. Even the delegates
from the Fifth congressional district
did not share the sentiment Of the
promoters, but expressed themselves
as satisfied with the action Of the
Democratic state convention.
When the multitude Of considerably
less than one hundred, including the
brass band and newspaper men, as
sembled in the opera house, they were
inflicted with the thread. bare speeches
of those we'll known patriots, A. A.
Harris, attorney for the Missouri Pa
cific railway; j. g. Lowe, attorney
for the Rock Island railway; Judge
Humphrey, late Of the state railway
commission, and Judge Emery, state
house commissioner, who informed
the masses (?) present that they were
disfranchised and sold out by the
other Democrats, who were traitors,
ETC., and as result predicted Re-
publican victory.
The convention having assembled
felt in duty bound to do something,
so with great unsnimity it nominated
a banker of Harrington for congress in
the Fifth district. 1t is believed he
will receive the entire vote of the
kicking patriots, who number less
than 100 in the district.

THE ENsANGUINED UNDER-GARMENT.

Republican editors and stump
speakers are making the bloody shirt
one Of their chief subjects Of discus
sion this early in the campaign. This
was anticipated and desired by the
Peoples party. 1t is the only party
that, since the war, has had the cour-
age to declare, by It's acts, that the
war is over, and that sectional preju-
dice shall no longer dominate the pol
itics Of the country. We are glad to
see the Republican party give this
matter the prominence it does, be-
cause it is proposed to make final
finish Of il in Kansas this year. 1t
will be buried in the same political
grave with the remnant Of the de-
funct Republican party. The two
will 90 down together as fitting COM
panions in death, as they have been
insepsrsble friends in Life.

The ADVOCATE AND TOPEKA TRIBUNE.
The ADooCATE AND TopeKA TRIBUNE
will be sent to subscribers Of both
papers until their time expires, and
those who have paid for both papers
will be given full credit for the
amounts due them from both, so that
the time Of their subscription will be
extended accordingly.
Advertisers will be treated in the
same manner, except that the rate
charged for space will be increased
in accordance with the circulation.
Further notice to advertisers will be
given by circular.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-07-27

will not be authorized by the govern
ments represented to change the
monetary systems that now prevail.
They know very we'll that bi-metalism
will not be agreed to. 1t is not de-
signed that such will be the result Of
the conference. 1t is simply designed
to provide a grand iunketing expedi-
tion for few pet politicians who will
be wined and dined at the expense Of
the people, while the real point in
view is to postpone consideration Of
the issue at home and fool the people
through another presidential cam
paign. Silver will never be remone-
tized until it is done by the Peoples
party. No other party contemplates
anything of the kind.

10 THE ATCH1sON NCHAMPIoN."

Az AA4 AANhhoON OAAAMIAONs
In your issue of July 10 you have
an insulting and cruel reference to
Mrs. Lease, in which you call into
question her veracity relative to the
fact that her father and brother sac
rifced their lives in the service Of the
United States government in the late
war. Her father enlisted as a private
in the One Hundred and Forty-sev-
enth New York volunteers, was taken
prisoner at the battle Of the Wilder
ness, and died at Andersonville. The
records of the New York volunteers
are not in the State Historical rooms
Of this city, and hence we cannot veri-
fy this statement just now. We will
do so, however, hereafter. The reC-
ords Of the Pennsylvania volunteers,
however, are here, and on page lao,
Of volume !, You will find that Pat
rick Henry Clyens, the elder brother
Of Mrs. Lease, and a member Of the
famous "Bucktsip regiment Of Penn
sylvania, was killed at the battle Of
fredericksburg December 1S, 1862.
In another column we publish an
open letter to you upon this subject
from Mrs Lease. It appears that in
your extreme anxiety to injure her
reputation you have hastened to pub
lish these cruel statements without
making an effort to verify them. We
desire to ask you il this is to be your
system Of conducting a campaign?
The Champion under it's former
management has aimed to be truthful
and just. Is the change Of manage
ment to change the character Of the
psper2 Is personal abuse, falsehood
and Misrepresentation to take the
place IN the Champion OF fact and OF
argument? Will you have the fair
ness and the honesty to retract the
cruel words uttered in your issue Of
the 10th9 Is it not enough that q
father and brother should die for
their country, and that they should
be lost to their families forever, with
out the daughter and sister being
taunted with falsehood because she
dares to refer to her sacrifice and
loss? For shame upon such politics.
It is an everlasting disgrace to our
country. 1t is revolving to every
principle of manhood. Will you tell
your readers the facts and do this
noble woman iusticel

HYPOCRISY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
ON THE SILVER QUESTION.


mends the wise and patriotic steps
already taken by our government to
secure an international conference to
adopt such measures as will insure a
parity of value between gold and sill
YER for nse as money throughout the
country"
To begin with, the object of the con-
ference is an sbsurdity and it's &C.
complishment an impossibility. There
has never yet been a time when such
parity has existed and there never
will be, and the pretense of pur-
pose to come to an agreement that
will insure such parity is sham and
q fraud. It is an insult to the in
telligence of the American people, by
whom it is well known that money is
not a natural product, but a creation
of law. AS Henri Cernuschi, French
delegate to the international confer
ence Of 1881, well observes:
The value which gold and silver might have as
merchandise, iflno legislation adopted them as
monetary masses, is not q constituent element
in the value Of money.
So likewise the adoption of any ma
terial whatever by legislation, as a
material of which money shall be
composed, and the impression of the
sovereign authority Of the govern
ment upon it makes it money with
out regard to its character or its mer-
camille value. If there is a single
fact that has been settled by politi-
cal economists and by the courts it is
this.
But admitting for the sake of the
argument all that IS claimed concern
ing the Importance of an interns-
tionsl agreement, what the prospect
Of obtaining it?
There have been two international
conferences of precisely the same
character and ostensibly for pre-
cisely the same purpose within the
past few years, the latter one in 1881,
and from the proceedings of this con-
ference we may judge of the chances
of accomplishing the ostensible pur-
pose of the next one.
At the very beginning of the con-
ference the delegates made declsra-
tions of the authority with which they
were invested, and of the object of
their attendance, and in these several
declarations we may find indications
of the sentiment of foreign countries
upon the subject of bi-metalism which |
will enable US to Judge of the proba-
bility that the proposed conference
will agree to any proposition for an
international bi-metslic standard"
DECLARATION OF DELEGATES FROM GERMANY.
We recognize, without reserve, that rehsblll-
tation of silver Is to be desired, and that It
might be attained by the re establishment Of the
free coinage Of silver In certain number Of the
most populous states represented at this con-
ference, If these states to this end should adopt
as basis fixed relation between the value Of
gold and that Of silver. Nevertheless, Germany,
whose monetary reform Is already so far ad-
Vanced, and whose general monetary situation
does not seem to call for change Of system so
vast ia scope does not hnd herself In position,
so far as she is concerned, to concode to the
free coinage OF silver. Her delegates, therefore,
are not able to subscribe to proposition look |
