The heat of the contest over the
nominations at Minneapolis and Chi
cago has revived the talk Of one term
for the presidency Of the United
States. If the old parties were not
accustomed, from force of habit, to
do nothing, some of the sensible sug-
gestions forced upon the attention OF
party leaders at critical moments
might result in some favorable action,
The advocate., 1892-06-22

SOME Of the old party papers, inre
porting proceedings of the Wichita
convention, dwell upon scenes OF con-
fusion, magnifed by the vivid inn
agination Of reporters ambitious to
earn their salaries. This was to be
expected from a party that gave the
country such an example Of harmony
at Minneapolis recently. Now wait
for Chicago.

THE Topeka Capital has discovered that
man by the name of Westfall, In Iowa, has been
arrested for stealing from the flood sufferers
The most interesting part Of the story Is that he
was once a candidate on the Peoples party
ticket. II the Capital Is really in earnest In tS
attempts TO discover thieves who are prominent
politicians, why should 1t go outside OF our own
state? Why not devote little OF It's space 10
TheodOsius Botkin and the Springfield, Kansas
rObbery?-AllidRCe Gazette,
Will the Capital and other Re
publican papers that have been SO
free to herald the arrest OF Mr..
Westfall to the world, have the honor
to publish the facts in relation to that
affair, now that they have become
known9 Will they tell their readers
that Mr.. Westfall and his neighbors
and hired hands succeeded in rescu-
ing from the floods many dollars
worth of property and restoring it to
its rightful owners, and that the con-
spiracy to have him arrested was con-
ceived in the office of a Republican
newspaper to make political capital?
Will they publish the fact that a
worthless and irresponsible scoundrel
was hired to make the complaint
upon which Mr.. Westfall was arrest
I'd, and that when the time arrived
for the hearing no one appeared In
court but a reporter OF the afore-
said Republican paper, who was there
to write up the libel for the tools OF
monopoly all over the country to
publish? VIII they tell the people
that the court, at the instance OF Mr..
Westfall, issued a subpoena to compel
the complainant to appear, that ne
could not be found, and that the case
was dismissed' Will they publish
the information that this malicious
arrest put a stop to the rescue OF
property and resulted in great loss to
the owners and that they are very in
dignant in consequence? Will these
hell-hounds of plutocracy now inform
their readers that the whole scheme
was but another foul conspiracy to
smirch the character of an honest
and honored citizen for no other rea-
son than that he is opposed to the
Republican party? Will they pub
lish these facts9 Will they even do
as much, in justice to an American
citizen, as to say that there was a
mistake about the matter, and that
they were misinformed, and had un-
intentionally done Mr.. Westfsll a
wrong? Will they do as much as
this! Not much. They are not that
kind of cats.

but until people force the issue, party
leaders will take no definite action in
any direction. The Peoples party
proposes to force the issue and insist
upon many necessary changes in the
policy Of the government.

THE SEVENTH DIsTTICT CONGRESSIONAL
CONVENTION.

CONVENTION.
The space taken for the report OF
the state convention and want of time
to prepare the copy, must be our
apology for the omission OF a full re-
port of the convention of the Seventh
congressional district. Surprising as
the information may be, the fool
farmers, and the cranks of all trades,
actually renominated Jerry Simpson
for congress. The convention was
harmonious, tod, and, Judging from
appearances, it was somewhat enthu-
sisstic. Several gentlemen, speaking
of the probable result of the election
in November, were wild enough to
predict that Jerry would be re-elec'
ted. But then those fellows be-
longed with the other cranks, and
they may be mistaken. In fact VIC
heard some Republicans remark thai
there was some doubt about 1t, bui
they said it so softly, and looked sc

Peoples party, says:
He is possessed OF one Of the most keenly any
litc and logical minds in the state, natural
born Judge of fine powers, so recognized by ev-
cry prominent lawyer, we believe, in the state.
His experience on the bench and as a legislator
is equaled by few. His present political un-
soundness we can only regret, not explain nor

Probably Judge Webb will not
ask the Eagle to explain or excuse
