K. C. Star: The Populist State
convention ut Topeka in the choice Of
"Speaker" Dunsmore and other off,
GERS of tho "Dunsmore House." as of.
ficers of the convention and in var
ious other ways, seems DESTROYS Of
calling attention to the great mistake
made in the winter of 1892, and to
evince certain pride in it. To do a
foolish thing is bad; to glory in it
afterwards is worse. The "Duns-
more House" movement was under.
taken under the worst possible adj
vice, and was overthrown In the
courts; it brought disgrace on those
engaged in it, and gave Kansas an i'll
name which will endure for years to
come. 1t would be great boon to
Kansas If the memory of the "Duns-
more House,, and the "war" which
accompanied its appearance and dis
appearance, could be totally and
everlastingly obliterated from the
memories of men. A revival Of the
recollections of that disgracsful time,
on the part Of any party, is incredible
foolishness, and determination to
make the validity of the "Dunsmore
House, . platform seems political
madness.
