tie state lie diners from Colonel Jours
IA several particulars but goes hiui
over 800 better Oh majority for the
state ticket, and presents figures thai
viii bring joy To the hearts OF Tue
pOpulists. Concerning Colonel Jones
figures lie says:
81 have read Colonel Jones' letter 10
TulIy scott and have also read the es-
Inmates made by the Topeka Cop4tut
and other republican papers of the
vote OF Kansas a. tine coming election.
All such estimates are too high as To
tile total vote of the state. TAere are
not nearly 50 many voters Ia tue state
IlOw as there were ia 1888. Then the
country .,as tuI o1 single men nIO
we're hOid.us claims IA western hstt-
ssta, which give JAe state q, ssrenb /
reputation. 4O-,lay tnIs he's ali
changed, and winnie we may have more
population We VIII not in my opinion
poll Is mHliy votes.
II estimate that we have 100000
voters in Lie state, tea per cent OF
whom will either not vote OF viii be
deprived Of voting from various
causes, among which are failure to
register, inability To be at home on
election day, change of residence
within thirty days, sickness and many
other causes. Many railroad men
VIII be cut Oil tie road etc.
II think Colonel Jones is too high
IL G,r.
but TOO low ia lis estimate OF our ma
jurity. On the above basis the total
vote will be 324,OJJ, an increase OF
900 over 1880, Of which this pop
ulist electoral ticket viii receive 49,
600 and the republican electoral oicleJ
10000, giving the popuIists and
democrats 40, 600 majority On the
state ticket 1 estimate the popalist
vote at 179, 900 and the republican
vote at 148, 600, giving the popuist
stale ticket Sc, 600 majority.
Il arrive at this conclusion fram "a
careful study of the vote OF 1890 as
compared with the poll Of the state
NOW being made by me, and while this
poll is not yet compl te, 1 have suf-
icieHt information 70 furnish a fair
basis for calculations.
The total vote OF 1890 on congress-
man was 200, TO5, which WAS over
3 1870 less than the vote cast for state
Treasurer. l account for this diHeU-
ence by calling to the mind the fact
that i'll districts where the democrats
had no candidate, IA number refused
to vote for the alliance candidate,
leaving their ticket blank for con- ress-
man. Many prohibitiouists did like
wise. This was notably the case in
the third congressional district where
Clover ran over 900 behind tie CON
bined vote of stale treasurer L con
tend, rs does Colonel Jones, that the
vote ON congressman was u represent
tative one and take 1t as Il basis Tor
calculation.
The peoples party and democratic
vote on congressman in 1890 was
10y, us. To this 1 add Is 900, one
half of the increased vote and 1885
une-hulf of the 1870 who failed to
vote on congressman in 1890, which
gives a total of Ig4, 778.
The republican vote in 1890 on
congressman was I22, 6s2, to which I
add one half of the increased vote,
Is 900, and one-half of the $3.50,
making a total of 1872, 792, which
gives majority of $500, for the
populisJ electoral ticket.
sOn the state ticket. calculate
that possibly 5000 democrats may
vote the republican ticket and that
3 1000 may refuse to vote the state
ticket. This will give the popu!ists
US, z77, and the republicans i42, $50,
giving the popuilst state ticket 36,O75
majority. The poll am huving taken
shows an average increase of about
/ 10 per cent over the vote of 1890.
'sAs to the losses our party has sus-
/ tanned by reason of cur men retuI a.
ing to the republican party, that is
q matter upon which there has been
more Misrepresentation than all Others
/ connected with this campaign, with
the possible exception of the sizs OF
our meetings as reported by the
t Topeka Capital. The man VINO states
: EHAE ANY LDl41luELitt4G uAlAAAhSA IA O-AA
men have returned to the republican
party is either woefuily ignorant or is
a wilIfuI political liar. The facts ar'
that no man has left the party excep
a few of the following classes: First
men ike Frank McGrath. who joineC
the movement in hope OF securiul
office; second, men who simply vote'
the ticket on account of some persona
gsudge against the republican party
or some its can didHtes, and, third, mel
who are in politics for the money then
is in it, and have secured their price.
The peoples party mas not los

republican party I win produce tire
