the election of Martin means nothing less
than the death Of the peoples party, both
state and national Mrs. Lease said:
"This is Il death-blow TO The peoples
party, state and national. 1t will drive
400, 900 populists in The south back into
the democratic party, and in kansas, in
the north, thousands Will return to the
republican party. Judge Martins election
killed our party, and that is all there is
to it.
Mrs. Diggs said: "I'he peoples party
committed suicide in Kansas by the cleo
ton of John Martin to the United States
Senate Another victory may possibly he
gained in this state hy fusion and bar
gaining, but it is the death blow to the
national organization. The party has gone
to pieces upon the rock which it will know
how to avoid another time.
