Wichita Beacon: There was a fair
sized audience assembled at the COM
mon pleas court room last night. 1t
was the regular meeting of the Tilden
club and the working democrats were
there. There was no regular speaker
present. 1t was class-meeting sort
of an arrangement and every one spoke
as the spirit moved him.
After the transaction of routine bus
mess Chairman Amidon announced
that Hon. T. l.. O'Bryan, OF Medicine
Lodge, would address the meeting. Mr..
O'Bryan's short speech was received
with great deal of enthusiasm. He
had been a democrat all his life. he
said, because he believed in the princi-
pies of the democratic party. II went
off last fall and voted fusion ticket
with the republicans. will never do
it again. [Cheers.l The alliance down
in our county two years ago, we
thought, did not use us quite right, so
we fused with the republicans and got
two good democrats on the fusion tick
| GU L IOuC OIL OtOA DoiOCA OONhNy 0hN
| told the democrats to vote for the re-
publicans on the fusion ticket. l felt
| rather cheap all the time, but l did 1t.
Laughter The democrats voted for
republicans and now for the result.
When the vote was counted one of the
democrats on the ticket had forty votes
more than the strength of his own par
ty and the other never pOlled single
vote outside his own party"
This statement broke the meeting all
up and there were loud cheers and
laughter that lasted for several min
utes.
Mr.. O'Bryan said that the democrats
in his county had learned something
and they proposed hereafter to put theiI
votes where they would do some good
He said there was great harmony
among the alliance men and democrats
in his county, and his reference to Jer
ry Simpson elected storm of applause
Mr.. O'Bryan referred to Joe Gibson, al
, alliance man from Barber county, t.
prove the truth of his statement, ant
when Mr.. O'Bryan took his seat there
, were loud calls for Gibson. That gen
tleman arose and was greeted with lib
eral applause,
He stated that he had become tire
of the rule of the old crowd and ha
gone into this alliance movement wit
the best of intentions and he was nov
thoroughly convinced that the ascend
ency of the peoples party in Kansa
would give US better legislation tina
the republican party had ever given u!
He confirmed the staten ent of Nj
O'Bryan, that there was now the bes
of feeling between the alliance men an
the democrats in his county. His de-
= laration that the democrats and allian(
u men we're agreed that the republica
o party was responsible for the vicior
legislation of which all complained, an
:. that any mistake OF the peoples part
: and the democrats this year that wou
r. allow the republicans to rule this sta
n would not only be mistake but
4 crime, was loudly cheered.
