TIE correspondent of the New York
Tribune had an interview with President
Harrison on March II, 1891. in which the
stern, ambitious, south-hating, bitter
Presbyterian soldier says:
Il will not do for the people of any
section to say that they must be let alone
that it Is a local question to be settled by
the states of whether we shall have hon
est elections or not This might be said
If It were not for the fact that the prin-
ciple is an issue in national elections, and
the inequality upon the floor of the house
Of representatives is SO great that it can
not be ignored. Whether IL shall become
a dominant issue in the immediate cam
paign, or in the near future is question
of whether the northern part Of the
country win consent to such inequality

THE "FUILER's RANCH" CONVERT.

T. J. Midnight, Of Rswlins county,
has a letter in the Capital renounc-
ing his connection with the Peoples
party and swearing allegiance to re-
publicsnism. On the receipt of his
letter the Capital displayed it's fam
ing headlines announcing the return
Of alliance men TO the republican
party by thousands If it had the
same infinitisimsl basis for all it's say
ings it would do very we'll Getting
one and claiming thousands is getting
unusually near the truth for the
Capital.
Mr.. Midnight signs himself ex-
president Of Rawlins county alliance.
We are credibly informed, by one
who has the facilities to know where
of he speaks, that Mr.. Midnight was
never president Of Rawlins county
alliance, and the significance of his
letter being dated at Fuller's Ranch
may throw some light upon his change
of front.
To Offset the loss of Mr. Midnight
We will accept such men as Mr.. Ems.
minger and Judge Webb Of this city,
and Of Mr. Madden, one Of the repub-
lican electors in 1883. On the basis
Of the Capitals calculation this ought
to give us a gain Of at least thirty
thousand for the Peoples party.

THE NECESSITY OF GETTING TO-

The Capital constructs what it
deems a deadly parallel from some ad-
dress of Hon. John Davis and an edi-
torial from the ADVOCATE, and says:
We advise these eminent pOpulist tinanclerS
and historical students to get together before
their differences on point Of such essential I'M
pOrtance demOrallzeS their followers.
In relation to this important matter,
we take occasion to observe:
First-It will puzzle the reader to
discover any such deadly character to
the parallel as to make the getting
together a matter of serious impor-
tance.
Second Speaking of getting to-
gether, suppose we take the following:

brief but important to

Stop your indy

Plumb measure for the

and give the country

millions more OF paper
currency,
It is not as long as

country and the repub-
hc3n party more good

We might take this one:

That free trade Is
right we claim is proved
by ifS very name. We
do not deny the right of

merce. We do not deny
The right OF congress to
prohibit commerce az
particular times or In
particular articles. But
we do deny the right to
prohibit ln the interest
Of q class or q mOnOpO-
list; and we deny the
right to tax for any
other purpose than to
provide for the necessi-
ties Of government. We
insist that the freedom
contemplated by the
d &c ! aratiOn Of inde-
pendence and the con-
stiCutlOn Of the United
States, includes perfect
freedom Of trade In le-
gi'imate products Of the
soil or OF human skill.
We have not attained
It yet.
In another article we
will refer to the princi-
pies on which pr0tec-
ton Is said to be based

the affirmative argu-
ment for free trade
thus:
(1) Liberty to traffic
where and when we
please Is one OF the
natural rights of man.
(2) Every example Of
nFeS trI eted traf1c
shows that both parties
TO the trade have been

(3) Every example Of

it great social and poll

Get together, gentleman. Such
discrepancies Rs this will never do in
matters of news. The Capitals
specials report all the republican raj
lies which were previously announced
with a grand flourish Of trumpets, as
the opening Of the republican cam
paign" as remarkable outpouringg
Of the people, and wonderful exhibit
ton Of enthusiasm. The Record, on
the other hand says they were "unex-
pectedly disappointing" and that 'the
party managers naturally feel much
Chsgrined" in consequence. As for
enthusiasm, the Record says that it
cannot be pumped into the people
by big show bills"
The difference in these two repub-
licsn papers is a very simple one.
The one is honest and tells the truth
in matters of news and the other, as
we have shown heretofore, seeks only
TO deceive the people.

EXCEPT THE DYNAMITE.

Lately there have been several more
desperate attempts upon the part OF
republican politicians to create po-
litical prejudice against a class OF
citizens that forms a very large per-
centsge of the Peoples party, the
farmers. And strange to say the old
tactics of 'S8 are being regorted to
again, all except the dynamite, and it
ls possible that is being prepared for
use a little latter IN the campaign.
While it has been demonstrated that
the farmers are pretty we'll able to
take care Of themselves in cases Of
this kind it is our duty to call atten-
tion to these political tricks so that
our readers who are not familiar with
Kansas republican tactics will know
how to take the stuff they find in the
news columns Of the daily press dur
ing the campaign.
In another column will be found
q statement of the main facts in the
Chautsuqua county murder case,
which we have taken the pains to get
from a reliable source and which re-
quires no comment or explanation. It
is too plain a case of political imposi-
ton to occupy any more space.
Down in Butler county, on the
night of August 20, a train robbery
was perpetrated. The following morn
ing most Of the daily papers an
nounced with startling headlines that
it was done by farmers; alliance farm
ers, Peoples party farmers, some of
them stated. We have taken some
pains to look that up, too, and we find
the facts to be these: There was not a
farmer among these four train rob-
bers. Three of them, Livingston,
Bailey and Carter, are losfers, gamb-
lers and republican heelers. The
court records of Butler county show
that Livingston was prosecuted last
fall for voting the republican ticket
illegally, and that he escaped con-
viction through a technicslity. Moi
fatt, who is no better for having
played into the hands of the sheriff
and got his pals in jail, is section
hand and voted the Peoples ticket
last year. This is all there is to it
politically except that the newspaper
reports which represented the out
laws as alliance and Peoples party
men came from a republican aource,
just as the reports of the Chsutsuqua
county lies did.
Now this is simply another way of
standing up for Kansas" represent
ing to the world that our farmers,
that class of people which forms the
backbone Of our population are a
gang of outlaws, robbers, MURDERERs.
Stand up for Kansas.
