Bro. HUDSON: You are getting out
an exceptionally good paper. The IN
DEX is one of the very strongest. clean
est papers that come to my desk. Are
you any relation to Joe Hudson, the
anarchist, of Topeka? If you are, as
an editor you are grand improvement
on the old editor.
We did get little set back this fall.
l warned them of it-told the bows it
was coming. They were too luke
warm, too aDathetic, too phlegmatic.
too confident. They said: '.Phawl
with all the grand populist matter that
has poured out over the country from
Growers extra session we are sure to
carry everything" This they said, and
then sayed at home on election day.
We swept everything in our township,
even to road bosses. So we should
have done everywhere, and would if

this year, Ia thing they never did be-
fore) and were furnishing Doodle to run
all the county elections. Populists
must not become too sanguine-so san
guine that they forget to go to the polls
en- election day.
Carlisle's assistant secretary has
been up to New York again getting
more advice from the financial cir
cles;" Grover Cleveland's financial
circles" whom Carlisle runs with, gets
drunk with, and when he is just Timber
enough to be right mellow, he admits
publicly that they control the mercan-
tile and industrial interests of the
country, and that congress and the con.
stitution have very little to do with
this thing. When he IS not in New
York, his assistant is, so the inspira-
ton is kept uninterrupted and regular.
| They are moved by the SPIRIT" as it
were, the spirit of Wall streets red

Governor dwellings, police circular
is one of the grandest papers ever is
sued. 1t strikes responsive chord in
the heart of every human being. 1t
is simple justice and right. The treat
ment 1t receives from the plutOcratic
press shows plainly their animus and
the unfeeling and relentless demon
who controls them. Will they never
learn that the deviI-fish at London. is a
| hard master?
Grover got so Internal drunk, or his
toe hurt him so bad that he quite for
got himself and sent his message over
to Lombard street instead of congress.
Does he assume also to be dictator to
the English parliament?
Or is he continually drunk?
Or is he crazy?
1t may yet be necessary to call Marie
Halpin in as witness.
see by quotations in your paper
that you are getting almost as much
for wheat out in Barber as we are. We

Dunn says this week, trade of all
kInuS is waiting.
The dickensl
What IS it waiting for?
The repeal bill has passed. We are
on solid gold basis.
What's the matter now?
Where's confidence? Trot him out.
But hold! We must have patience.
see that the English people have
waited 77years for restoration of con-
fidence since silver was demonetized
there, and they are still waiting there.
We will not wait so long here.
Confidence is a plutocratic jackass-
plutocratic scape goat. If you hap
pen to see Mr.. Dunn soon, tell him to
encourage trade to wait" about three
years longer, for about that time conf
dence Will pay complimentary visit
accompanied by populist president
that is sober enough to know who to

n. b. The financiers of New York
have ventured to modestly advise Car
isles ass secretary that it would pro-
badly be better, on the hole, to issue
$4,000, 900 gold bearing bonds, in return
for their recent hospitality at belmont
co.'s.
Yes, perhaps that would foot the bill.
Cleveland and Carlisle are very seri-
ously contemplating the matter with
strong leaning toward Blenders store"
