la the hrst quotation yJu say Simp-

OF anarchists, also that Wright bowed
60 Simpsons lash and voted as hs was
o. told. We would like 10 know how you
came 20 any such CourIusiou.- We
thtik you have drawn on your Iunagln-
alton pretty heavily, 90 much SD tIat
W. believe It 70 be % misrepr tatiUu
and f5tlsshDod. HIS record shows
That ie mas always voted the way his
own Judgment dictated. Knowing as
we do chat you have misreyrsssuted
. Wright how can we bsIieys what you
, say against Lswslling and the other
o pOpulist leaders,
3 You say the alliance men are de-
% csiysd; Jnat We .std the D.tHy P1Dag.st
and cannot be expected TO know the
truth; chat if ne knew the truth we
would not support LsweiIing aud his
B gang. Certainly we read The Dlslg
Popullsi and several other popullsJ
Z papers, along with few leading
3 10 publican and democratic sheets, and
Dy this means we think we do know
= the truth, and that is why we are
& ready, willing and anxious to support
Z LeWelliug in the course he has taken.
The HercsTy says it will condemn
y where condemnation is deserved. You
Y condemn Simpson for leaving his post
0 of duty. Did you condemn Perkins
s for doing the same thing2 Did you or
4 any other republican editor WHO know
so much ever remind Perkins where
r his post of duty was? We believe SIlnp-
/ son was reminded by members Of his
own party.
You say Simpson was oB tile dJor o {
the house melting Hi5 BliE5wers To vio-
lence ana you condemned him for it.
Ex-Secretary Of State Bin Higgins
Z was on the aJor fourishiug a revolver
b and threatening 20 shoot AN unarued,
. legally appointed officer. Did you cHu-
denim Higgins in yogr papsrY MT
thu amy one knows OF. If you did not
Intend to prejudice the people against
: -be state government, why withhold
I from them aU knowledge of the part
8 your party has taken i'm tbs matter,
B instead Of just finding fault with the
populists. OhIyes, you are independent,
< you say.
1t seems TO have bseU the purpose
$ Of the republican press OF the state for
"a long time past. 20 misreprssent the
pOpulists and the alliance. In proof
u of this we will call attention to Two
. incidents that have occurred iu the
recent past. When a train Wis rob
= bed near Augusta, Kansas, it was sent
IL broadcast all over tile iand by repubIi-
can papers that the robbers were
9 prominent members of the alliance.
u On investigation 10 WAS proven that
none OF them were even farmers.
A short time afterwards a man was
GOund murdered ga Chautauqus county.
. Tie republican papers EsrtIded it 20
. the farthermost end Of tile earth that
d the murderers were ia tile hands Of
the officers and that they were leaders
of the alliance, and that the murder
was committed fol political effect. On
=" investigation it was proven that the
3 mon under arrest were all republicans
= and they were discharged. Has tile
u Mercury condemned such rot like tins?
. Oh! no, not one lime OF condemnation.
: Consistency, thou art a jewel!
You say we read the pOpuIis5 papers
and cannot be expected to know the
truth. If we are not To believe our
OUn papers, What papers are We to
believer After our order has been
q slandered and villideG by che republic
a can press OF Kansas, as it has been,
q can we be expected 10 believe anything
we read ia them? Mol False in one.
T false in all-you with the rest Of piu-
u J8crat UPhOldsrs.
