] Topeka Capital
The above advice seems to come
with an i'll grace from J. X. Hudson.
( IN February 1889 we received from
the Capital Office "a letter marked
confidential, - saying:
/ George Z. here, and is turning
I heaven ana earth for railroad commits
sioner. lie ought to be defeated.
/ Can't you come ever and use your
/ influence OH some of tile members Of
/ the executive council? I learn that
( he is counting on support from Tim
Mccarthy, jim Hamilton Bill
/ Higgins and Governor Humphrey.
In obedience to this summons we
went to Topeka. Major >. K. Hudson
called upon us at the Copeland House
and begged Of us to so TO work and
defeat che appointment OF George T.
Anthony, alleging that! he was the
most corrupt man in Kansas and that
h -ad assaulted liis lIIudsou'sl family.
Major Hudson used language against
George T. that cannot be put in print;
and said if Governor Humphrey voted
for him he would fight him to the
death.
We went TO the state officials and to
Governor admitted that the appoint
ment was a bad one to make, that he
never liked George L. Anthony, but
aid that he was in a FIX, that his friend
II ,rtindale, at the time CT tine conven-
ton had made trade with Geo. T.,
who agreed to support the nomination
of Humphrey for governor in consid-
Grafton Of the vote of the incoming
governor for him for the office Of rail-
road commissioner, that he detested
the trade but could see no way to avoid
carrying out the contract without
offending Martindale, who had acted
} in good faith, and that he would have
/ to vote for him. As to Iudson's Uppo-
sitiou he said he thought lie could fix
him by giving him the advertising.
/ This state printing or advertising.
was subsequently given to the Capital
and Hudson departed for Cuba for his
/ health. During his absence not a
word Was said in his paper against the
| appointment, and the Capital did the
state printing. After a lapse of
many months Hudson returned home.
much improved in health, and fully
recouciIed to the appointment, satisfied
1 with the action OF Governor humphrey
and "a devoted udmirer of George II.
. Anthony.
Such is politics.
1t ought not to be forgotten that
before Hudson went to Cuba, and
during the time the appointment was
hanging fire, Hudson wrote to us for
the documents containing the proofs of
defaIcatiou and other facts derogatory
t. the honesty ana integrity of George
L Anthony. We sent some of
( these papers and sent printed copies
of the balance 20 HIM.
As related above, the trade made
/ between Hudson, the Capital, and Coy
ernor Humphrey had the effect Of wip-
ing out the i'll feeling which had exist
ed in EIudson's, mind against Geo. T.
Later on, finding the Capital had no
use for tie documents furnished
Major Hudson by IT'S; we wrote fol
tEeir return. No answer came. We
wrote again and received word back
that they could not be found. They
would institute a search, Major Uud-
son said, and see if they could End them
They have never been found, but
rumor saith that the documents found
their way ito the-hauds of George Il
Anthony.
1t may be well to say here that all
the original official certificates of the
fadjutant general, comptroller and the
clerk of tie state of New York, this
copies of the officials records of ths
+ recorder of deeds, and the clerk of the
criminal court of Orleans county, New
York ana the certificates of officers snt
soldiers in his company are all Intact
in our safe.
With all these facts staring d. X
Hudson in the face, proving that he il
"a corrupt trading politician, whOs'

) and greed, is it not strange that h,
3 has the audacity to advise Funston "a
to '.his duty and urge him to sup
port "a convicted defauIter for ONCE?
tt is sad to see the result. Ate
3 years OF lying, deceit and corruption
we now find Hudson a hopeless bank
rupt, begging of politicians and omc
holders funds to keep him alive from
day to day.
