The turn that the Indians might take

politics were elected.
How will the Indians votes
Well, said Left Hand who by the way,
belongs to the progressive element OF the
Cleyenues and can talk fairly good
English, this right to vote has been but
recently given us and little thought has
been given it as yet. The Indians will
always be guided in politics, l think, by
their self-interest. Party lines will not
hold an Indian as they do a white man.

PROCLAIMS HIS INFAMY.

Being headed off from every avenue
of retreat Jerry Simpson finally, (at
Caldwell Saturday, admitted that he
did make the statement, quoted in the
EAGLE, about the men and women
selling their honor and virtue, and
boldly declared that he meant the state
ment to apply to the whole country.
The Seventh district is no inconsiderable
portion of the country and it contains a
good many thousands Of men and
women to whom the infamous aspersion
applies as much as to those of any other
portion of the country. How do our

party invited some such imputation by
their sell out of the party to Simpsons
following, relish NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THAT LIE NAILED AGAIN.
WICHITA, Sept. s., 1892.

WICHITA, Sept. o., 1892.
To the Editor of the Wichita Eagle
The declaration has been made by
Jerry Simpson and his friends thou
sand times-and possibly believed by
many-that the Hon. Jerry was not in
vited to make speech at the G. A. R.
reunion at this city. Again, in the last
issue of the EAGLE he is reported as say
ing: ''On my way home from Washing
ton I stopped off at Wichita to meet Mr..
Bailey, (etc.) and that was the first l
knew of there being a reunion at Wich-
ita."
There is no sense, justice, politics or
truth in the above statements. | intro
duced Colonel Stewart to Jerry for the
very purpose of inviting him to address
this reunion, and heard the colonel invite
him. This was some two months ago.
Do stop the lying about this matter If
possible. JOHN KELLY.

A walters organ descants upon tn,

A walters organ descants upon the
dishonest gold dollar" and tries to
prove the assertion by saying that the
gold dollar is at premium over every
other kind of dollar. Upon that prin-
cIple it would denounce the average
measured bushel Of Kansas wheat as
dishonest because it weighs more than
the common standard calls for. And in
the same line of argument the organ
would make tile farmer who offers the
grain for sale by measurement dis
honest also; while the only honest wheat
and seller would be the grain that Is
short of the standard weight aad the
man who Offers it for sale. And this is
on par with the economic @ theories
inculcated by the party of which the
organ quoted is an exponent.

A DOSE FOR DEMOCRATS.

In speech at Abba, Ia, on July Is,
1866, accepting the Republican nomina-
ton for county attorney, James b.
Weaver delivered this statement:
want to congratulate you first, fellow
citizens, on the suppression OF purely
Democratic rebellion; gotten up by the
Democrats for the Democratic purpose of
discovering this union and perpetually es-
tablishing human slavery. Now and for
ever it is established as an eternal truth
that the Democracy, in no place or state,
can ever be trusted with government. AS
party it should disband, just as a section
of it did at AppomattoX.
Whether the lapse of time and change
of circumstances-rhel latter of his own
making-have wrought any change in
his sentiments it is impossible to tell,
from his public utterances now, but this
is the same Weaver that Democrats, those
specially inveighed against il .1S66, are
required by the term of the sell-out of
the party by its leaders to vote for for
chief executive of the nation, with posi-
bility of his election. How do you like it,
Democrats? especially those from the
southern states.

OUT OF THE WAY OF THE TINHoRNs.

Chairman Briedenthal is running the
Peoples party campaign with head
quarters at Enterprise sin a barren room
on the first floor of "a dilapidated
frame building" Chairman Brieden-
thai has selected this place "to be where
the tinhorn politicians cannot run in
and see him every half-hour. Of course
it is well known thai late developments
have very largely increased the crop of
tinhorn politicians in the Peoples party.
How bad it must be when this party, as
its chairman corfesses, finds it necessary
to seclude its headquarters in an I'M
known village to avoid this gang of
"tinhorn politicians"
1.-TWO years ago there were about 800
sub-Alliances. but these are all gone. No
more Alliance meetings are held in the
state. The Peoples party clubs meet,
but there is no pretense of Alliance
meetings"
Here is the difference between two
years ago and now. Then, there were
Alliance meetings; now, there are none.
Then. there were Farmers Alliance or
CARNATIONS; now, there are none. If the
farmers had kept their organizations
non-political, or at least non partisan,
these organization would have become
potent, and of material valrse to the
farming interests; but as it is The farm
ers' organizations have disappeared, and,
in thei1 stead, has arisen a calamity
partisan party, run by jackleg lawyers
and tinhorn politicians, who
care less for the real interests of the
farmer than any party in this state or
any other state.
The CHASING of Ives, Elder, Otis and
others among the ''tin horns by Bri-
edenthal is creating dissatisfaction, we are
told, and Briedenthal is developing into
great "Boss." No speakers nor dates
can be made except through him. He
''iS asking no advice or no favor, and if
he wins the campaign will be entitled TO
all the glory" The "tin horns" are mad
and the days of calamity are numbered.
Briedenthal SAYS the first poll of the
state, now nearly completed, has thus
far shown an increase over IS, 9o5 vote,
(which means the election of Smith by
majority anywhere not short of 20, 600.
