just how he was going to turn out.
q. J. Hudson must not be held re-
sponsible for the disrepute that at
tsches to the name of Joseph. Nor
should the favorable mention of the
Capital be set down against him.
That may be accounted for by the
unpleasant relations of Joseph and
Governor Humphrey. The COVER
nor failed to appreciate Joseph's
eminent qualifications for a seat in
the present United States senate, and
as a consequence the feeling between
these Republican brothers is not
kindly. Joseph would like to see the
governor defeated in his candidacy
for congress. This prompts the IA
vorsble notice Of the Peoples candi-
date. Joseph is pursuing the wrong
course. Let him turn in and asssil
MIR. Hudson as a defaulter, q horse
thief and a rogue on general princi-
Piles, and the defeat of "Mr. Humph-
rey, Of Independence" is assured. If
there is anything that can damage
the prospects Of a Peoples candidate
in Kansas it is favorable mention by
the Capital.

A GEORGIA VICTORY.
To the Editor Of The ADVOCATE.

10 the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
The reports from your state conven-
tlon are very encouraging, and | am sure
that Georgia and the southern people
generally will respond to the sentiment,
"The war is ended"
The nomination OF Col. Harris, an ex-
Confederate soldier, for congressman at
large, was wise and patriotic act, and
will help to unite the two sections in
closer bonds Of sympathy and fraternity,
and, taken In connection with the re-
tirement Of j. j. Ingalls,, will certainly
have great influence In defeating the
efforts Of the politicians of the south to
rebuild the sectional lines.
And now let me give you a word Of
cheer also. Straws, they say, show how
the wind blows. There was a special
election in Glascock county, this state,
yesterday for ordinary Gudge Of probate).
The Democrats sent their biggest guns
into the county. The governor Of the
state, the chairman of the state central
committee, the Democratic candidate for
congress, and several other prominent
Democrats, took turns at pleading with
the people for two weeks before the
election. They got the only county
paper we had In that section TO turn
against US. How they did IL we do not
know-can only surmise-bu they got
it. What they did not get was the votes.
The Peoples party candidate wGs elected
by ttOO to one. And that is the way we
propose to carry Georgia In October and
November.
The wool hat boys are all In the sad
die in Georgia, and the plug hat politi-
clans will either have to ride behind or
60 on foot. Yours truly and hopefully,

THAT RAILWAY ASSESsMENT.

The Ottawa Journal, commenting
upon the defeat of Mr.. Ives, claims
that it was about the first Peoples
party paper to criticise the railroad
assessment. "We did it six months
ago." says the Journal, and then it
goes on to intimate that not until
after the announcement of Mr.. Ives
candidacy for governor did others
give any expression upon the subject.
The Journal is mistaken. The AD-
voCATE criticised the assessment inn
medistely after the act was done
more than sac months ago, so severe
ly as to prompt personal visit from
MIR. Ives and an earnest protest
against the criticism. We do not
wish to deprive the Journal of its
laurels, but please be fair. Our files
show that our position has been con-
sistent upon this subject from first to
last. We have always condemned
this action Of the board, as we can
show by quotations much older than
the date of the Journals criticism.

us to publish. The following is the
letter:
WICHITA, Kan, June 26, 1892.
Hon. John G. Otis, Washington, D. c.:
SIR:-It Is with pleasure that the commercial
travelling men Of Kansas heard OF your defeat,
and we hope that If you are ever again elected to
apOSltiOn by the people you will not allow your
self to run wild and denOunce any class Of men
that are striving to make an honest living. A
travelling man Is as upright and honest as any
Peoples party politician, especially those who
left the old parties for the sake of office When
ever you meet travelling man treat him kindly
and he win do the same for you. Up to the time
you called them "tramps," etc., they had moth
ing against you, but you must remember that
we are large body Of men, numbering about
100000, and whenever anyone undertakes to
asSail US without cause, he will have hard row
to hoe. When you return to Topeka and occupy
your old position you may rest assured that the
commercial tramps," as you call them, win
treat you kindly. BY our actions at EmpOria We
wish to show you, and men In public office, that
they could not treat US as you did without our
resenting same. Farewell, Brother Otis, and
may you prosper when you arrive home at the
end Of your term. Yours In joy, etc.,
ONE OF THE TRADIPs.

FROM HON. JOHN G. OTIS.

To the Editor Of THR ADVOCATE.
/ regret to notice reported In the rub
lie press numerous pretended interviews
and Statements, published as coming
from me In relation TO the action of the
Emporia convention Of the 14th inst,
and deem 1t but proper to state that they
have no foundation, and believe are
circulated to create feeling of dlscord
In our Peoples party ranks. No partl-
san press reporter has had any interview
with me since the Emporis convention,
and all / have said or propose to say
upon the subject at present is that the
action Of the convention at Emporia sur
prised me, and especially the conduct Of
the Butler and Woodson county dele
gates. But no true reformer will allow
any personal grievance to stand In the
way Of the progress Of the movement In
an hour like this, when everything in
the shape Of success Ia dependent upon
united and harmonious action all along
the line.
For twenty-five years I have been
battling along these lines irrespective of
any party, and In the face of all kinds Of
opposition, and 1t would now be very in
oonsistant and unwise indeed, for me to
be side-tracked on a little peraOnAl laAuA
or made luke-wsrm in my support of
cause dearer to me than life itself by the
cunning schemes Of crafty foes. Now,
Mr.. Editor, please inform all my friends
and foes that l stand where have al
ways stood, "in the thickest Of the
battle" and was never in better lighting

THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE OF THE
THIRD DISTRICT,

Hon. 7. j. Hudson received the
nomination of the Cherryvale con-
vention on the 23rd inst. He is man
of good personal presence and fine
ability, and, as q representative, will
reflect credit upon his district. The
most unfavorable thing we have yet
observed in connection with his can
didacy is that the Capital speaks
we'll of him and indicates the possi-
bility of his election. 1t must not be
inferred from this circumstance that
he is relative Of Joseph. Such is
not the case. The name is unfortu-
nate, but, at the time he received it,
it was not known that Joseph was on
