From the Topeka Press.
We reproduce the following from
the scathing pen of Mont. Cochran in
that sterling democratic paper, the St.
Joseph Gazette:
1.-The Kansas City Times is very
much opposed to the Kansas populist.
The Kansas populist is opposed to the
robber tariff and in favor of free trade
lie is in favor of the coinage Of silver
and opposed to the single gold stand
ard. He is opposed to the ring of rail-
road lawyers who have controlled Kan
sas politics for twenty-five years, and
III favor of placing the government in
the hands Of the people. He is op-
posed TO the political corporation job
berry by which caucuses, conventions
and elections in the Sunflower state
have been rendered but the means of
recording the will of coterie Of repub-
lican lobbyists and professional fixers,
and i'll favor Of allowing the people to
choose their representatives to the
end that the enactment and enforce
ment of law may not be controlled by
the representatives of eastern corpora
tons. TO men holding such views the
Times is unalterably opposed. The
Times is owned by the Santa Fe rail
road company, the Bell Telephone
company and three or four banks and
trust companies, most of them New
York concerns. As the mouthfiece OF
such owners, why shouldn't the Times
rejoice over this victory of the corpor.
ations over the people of Kansas. To
help on just such victories and to re-
jOice over them IS just what the Time.
lives for. 1t is maintained at stupen
dOus cost for the purpose of represent
ing its owners within the territory i,
pretends toserve. The Times is neither
democratic nor republican paper.
| 1t is the mouthpiece of cabal of cor
pOratlons that have 10 politics, AN,
care nothing about political parties
Published i'll democratic state, 1t cal
be OF greater service to its owners b,
masquerading AS democrat. In
republican state it would be republi
can. 1t advised the Kansas demo
Gratis not to fuse with the populists
knowing that such a policy would re
store the state to republican control
1t will continue to give the democrat
OF Kansas just this kind of advice
because by this means the Gecrg
Peck crowd expect to elect a republi
can United States senator to succee
John Martin. The Times is the orga
of Kansas republican ring that i
iaboring to secure for Kansas sena
tor who will vote in favor of protection
the maintenance of the gold standard
and the continuance OF corporation
rule in Kansas and throughout tn
country.
| 1t was following just such adviser
as the Kansas City Times that led IL,
democrats and populists INTO the fata
error of attempting this year All indie
pendent campaign. More than ono
during the progress of this program
the Gazette warned Its Kansas leader
that the road they were pursuing woul,
lead to inevitable ruin. The battle
over. The disorganized opposition ha
been overwhelmed. The republican
are the vlctors, and the Times is NOR
elated than even the victors them
selves. Now that the Times liza
sounded the keynote let all the littl
republicans papers of Kansas chime in
1t Will be delightful chorus.
And the Times is a democratic paper
did you say? God save the countr
from such democracy! Then is Lucille
an angel of light, Iscariut's memory ,
sOlace to loyalty, Benedict Arnold
treason an Indictment to patriotism
aud the rag-tag and bobtaIl Kansas
radicals fit exponents and representa-
tives of democratic i,leas! The Time
a democratic paper? AS well call Oh,
