FRIDAY. JANUARY 20. 1893.
Ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes,
G.cd at his home in NreemOnt, Ohio,
Tuesday night.
The Republican hangerS-on at To-
r''l do hate to give up their fat jobs.
They are all calamity hOwlers now,
bit not POpuliStS by any means.
Iac Republicans seem to be sur
pri, Il that Mr.. Lewelling dare rule
in favor of the people and against the
railroads and state house rings which
nave been rObbing the state for years.
Naat do they suppose the people
elected Mr.. Lewelling for?
The Industrial Legion is making
great headway all over the country.
it will be organized all over the east
an in the next election the pluto
Gratis will find that the POpuliStS are
in their own StronghOldS and ready
10 resist their rule of tyranny.
Tnc letter published today to
Friend Henry" was written by a
nan who was until quite recently
Republican, and an old army veteran.
H. mas embraced the new faith and
Z, YES his friend Henry who resides in
the east some poi ITS to think about.
He covers the ground pretty thor
OJghly. Every one should read it.
1t was the clear expression of the
people of Kansas that the Republi-
Can party should 60. Still they hang
On like grim death toevery office they
can hold, legally, illegally or by force,
without regard to the will of the ma
jOrity. Its evident that the people
will have to fight the old ringsterS
and corporations again before they
will surrender. They are desperate
set.
The VOICE wishes to add its en-
dOrSement to the good words said by
the Standard concerning Bart Fetch
er, the retiring commissioner, last
week. Mr.. Fletcher was man who
always got along pleasantly with
every one, but could no more be
worked" than an elephant could be
taught how to fly. He was one of the
best commissioners the county has
ever had.
The correct thing for the Kansas
Republicans to do if they find it
impossible to elect a Republican
senator is to elect Democrat. The
PopuliSts must be beaten in any
cOntingency.-Globe Democrat.
Just as predicted. The schemers
OF the two old parties are sure to
come together in opposition to the
new party. History repeats itself.
1t can also safely be predicted that the
better elements Of the two old parties
will join the POpulists. On with the
dance.
Last August a train was held up in
Butler county. Recently the robbers
were put in the penitentiary to serve
a term Of five years. Butler county
has a Farmers Alliance Judge who
was ridiCuled by the lawyers. He
knows how to deal out justice better
than many Of the lawyer judges do,
Offering another evidence that the
bad habits of the lawyers in delaying
justice and thereby weakening the
force of the law can be corrected il
the judges have back bone to make
the lawyers stand around.-K. C.

Exactly! And these are the self
same fellows whom the press dis.

United States were representative

is nothing revolutionary about a state
