big business failures in Wichita, it would

1t was late when he looked out of the
window, the moon was high in the
heavens, though it had not risen until
long after the sun had set He could
hear no sound of life in the streets; moth

distant tracks, as they pushed and pulled
at their loads of merchandise as if anx-
ious to do as much as they could now,
for fear that soon Alliance laws would
leave them with no work. The rattle of
the electric cars had died away; there
was not even the sound OF steps upon
the pavement, so late it was, and the
stiffness oppressed him. He turned
away from the window and sat down at
his table, bowling his head upon his
hard.
He had worked all day. His desk was
scattered with pamphlets and papers,
and among these lay the manuscript of

THE HONORABLE WAYNE McVEAGH
OR THE PROGRESS OF 10TH
CENTURY POLITICAL Pill
GRIM

Wayne McVeagh has formally an
nounced his intention of voting for Mr..
Cleveland for the presidency. On this
account McVeagh finds himself to have
been very considerable man in the Re-
publican party-if we may rely on Demo
cratic opinion. Who is the Hon. Wayne
McVeagh whom five hundred people
greeted at the Academy of Music in
in Philadelphia Saturday night? Those
who have never heard of the Hen.
Wayne McVeagh it may be well to re-
mind, that he was discovered by Presi-
dent Garfield as an embryonic Mugwump
and promoted into the high place of at
torney general in 81. That his ability
was not superior to the position is Ger
tain; that his appointment was not at the
solicitation of any number of leading
Republicans is more certain. However,
he filed the Office during his short term
with an average degree of credit. I'm
fortunately for the people in Hon. Wayne
McVeagh's district and state, at least
from his standpoint, they have
never been able to take him at his own
| estimate.
However, the Hon. Wayne McVeagb's
personality is of less consequence than
his reasons for his change of political
base. The Hon. Wayne McVeagh's mis-
givings began away back. While he has
voted the Republican ticket since 1854 he
has had his doubts for years. He found
himself at variance with his party in the
impeachment of President Johnon. He
found himself believing that the tariff in
1872 ought to have been reduced more
so as to prevent certain workingmen
from securing higher wages than can be
earned in other kindred enlployments."
In Hon. Wayne McVeagh's opinion the
high wages brought about by protection
does not tend ito diversity production
but forces labor into protected employ
ments." The Hon Wayne McVeagh also
found himself unable TO believe that
Hayes was elected in 1876. He
was in a measure reconciled
TO Hayes election only after *he decision
of the electoral commission and the con-
stiiutional declaration by both houses of
congress that Mr.. Hayes had been elect
ed president of the United States. s.It
was only then he accepted an appoint
ment by Hayes and assumed "the disa-
greeabie task Of going ito Louisiana to
reconcile the political differences exist
ing there" He criticizes President Grant.
Secretary Cameron. Secretary Chand-
Ter and General Sheridan, ard in fact
everybody connected in any way with
Grants administration for their inter
ferance in the louisiana election of 1876.
The Honorable Wayne McVeagl..
however. stuck to the Republican party
till 1888, when he voted for Harrisoa.
But he has found ''the conviction has
been steadily growing upon his mind.
that the general tendency of the Repub-
iican party was no. only not intrinsicalto
the best interests OF the country. bat
unless checked, is sure TO result
not only in making The poor
poorer, but the rich more
selfish and more corrupt, and
the fneopla e.,less, ,psriotlc,s' How,
has this conviction been forced upon
him?
