Topeka Advocate and Tribune:
The landing of Judge Gresham in
Cleveland's cabinet will afford q
great amount of relief to those who
wondered what the Judge has been
trying to do for the past two or three
years. Glad to know that he is set
tied, they will still wonder why he
took such a roundabout way TO get to
Washington.
The Farmers Tribune: The prin-
eiples of the Peoples party are dunda-
mental. They are applicable alike to
the graver conduct of national gov
eminent and the local affairsof city
or village. In their adoption and
practical application in municipal af-
fairs our splendid city will soonest
develop and equitably distribute her
great natural advantages.
Chicago Sentinel: The Populist
house of Kansas by resolution de-
clared that the so-called Republican
house was merely another name for
the Santa Fe railroad. That they
were right is shown by the fact that
the very next day when troops
were called for by the Republicans a
requisition was made upon the Santa
Ee car shops to fill the'quota.
The Southern Toilcr: Our skies are
bright. our future sublime in it's com
Ing. This government belongs to the
people-the honest wealth-producing
people-and they are going to control
its affairs and destiny as sure as lib
erty and constitutional government
exists on this continent. Let broad
and liberal views prevail and per-
meate all our actions and doings.
Our best and ablest men must come
to the front and must speak out; in
deed, they must now,act!

While nearly every act of congress
has been in favor of capital, tending
TO aid the concentration of wealth
the pretence has always been to ben

that the laboring classes are the
power of the nation, and that if the,
