JUDGE HADLEY
Writes a Letter About Pop.
uIist Corruption in Kan.
sas City that Corrobo.
rates All Said by
Others.

The following letter will be OF interest
to all who are interested in Populistic
reforms:
KANSAS Cry, Kan, Sept. 15.-Sir: In
your recent interview with Times re-
potter at Topeka. you are reported as
saying that such statements as Ben
Henderson has made, as well as others,
concerning the boodleism and dishonesty
of the present state administration, are
destitute of proof. and that up to date
no proof has come to your knowledge of
the truth OF those charges.
Well. lie. us see moment about that.
Do Won remember about certain prose-
cution for libel against J. A. Smith in
this county. in which Won we're witness
for the state. wherein you testified that
you told Smith that IN 1898. lust after
election. when the cempaign had closed,
Police Judge King and Chief Ouarlee of
this city were at Topeka together, were
seen by you to walk up TIE Capitol steps
in company, when Chief Ouarles called
you into the hall and offered you. as
chairman OF the state committee, some
monev for campaign purposes?
Did you not also hear the testimony
on that trial of Hon J. F. Lsgate, Mr..
Hopkins and J. A. Smith. who all swore
that you stated to them that said sum
of money SO offered by Quarles was 81
500? And did YOU not admit the fact
OF the offer OF money. but deny the
amount? And when the letter Of Smith
charging that the money so offered was
in order TO obtain vour influence with
the governor to prevent their removal,
was produced in evidence 10 the jury,
and the writing admitted by Smiths
counsel. did not Ine jury render a YER
dict in favor OF defendant, thus stamping
the letter as true?
You certainly knew the governor had
made up his mind to remove those police
commissioners at that time. Right at
that time King and Quarles appeared on
the scene. this offer Of bood'e was made,
and those police commissioners have
never been removed to this day. but are
still periuring themselves by refusing to
comply with their oatbs, in which they
swore they would enforce the laws of the
land.
Again, Won know Of Your own knowl-
edge that numerous persons from this
city have written the Governor, and
have gone to Topeka personally and in

A. r. u. MEN ANGRY.
DenounCe PopuliSt Officials
for Using Pullman Passes.
r. j. Sioat, Peoples Party Candidate for
the Legislature, Speaks Bitterly
of the Exposure.

The expose published in yesterdays
Journal regarding the acceptance and
use of railway and Pullman passes by
members of the state board OF railway
commissioners, seems to have stirred up
a great deal of CONSERVATION and feeling
against the officials referred to-among
the leaders of the local A. r. q.
President r. J. Sloat and Secretary
Harry Chapman were particularly de-
cided in their expressions of contempt
for the practice and all who are party
TO it.
"Pshaw," said Mr., Sloat, "there is no
use in denying that if man will ac-
cept pass in the first place he will ride
on it. It's human nature. The way to
stop it is to return the passes.
ANY man who will accept pass from
a railroad or the Pullman company al
lows himself to be bribed. 1t is moth
ing else and L have no use for any man
who does it no matter what party he
belongs to. When a railroad gives a
man pass it saws to him, here, 1 have
done You favor, you know what this
is for. Now be easy on me and you can
bet the pass holder feels as though he
ouhgt TO be.
81 am down on all that sort OF thing.
No man can work for the good of the
laboring classes honestly and hold a
railroad pass, and certainly not when
holding Pullman pass, either trip or
annual.
"This talk about saving the state
money by the state officials accepting
and using passes is the worst sort of
rot. If any man says that he doesn't
charge mileage where he is allowed
even if he does use his pass,
he is assuredly a liar. The state
doesn't procure the passes and
the companies don't give passes to the
officials because they love the state.
81 believe that three-fourths of the
members OF the legislature hold passes
OF all kinds, and it is not only not right
but dishonest.
II should like to have railroad send
me a pass IN case / should be elected. l
would have copies of the pass printed in
every paper in the state that would
print it aud give the company roast
that would last a lifetime.
1.-The railroads are making double
play now. They are pretending to fight
the populists, but doesn't it show that
they are trying to stand in as much as
they can? Why, if the populists should
go in again with big majority this
year, the railroads would flip right over
and be the populists' best friends"
Harry Chapman was no less bitter in
his expressions and resorted to some
rather strong language against the pass
holders that are in the employ of the
people.
IF they are honest in what they say
about not believing the pass system
right, why in-don't they send back
their passes. That's great way to SYM
pathize with the workingmen, isn't it?
OF course the companies expect legisla-
ton for their favors, and they get it to
some extent too. That's likely story
of Mr.. Biddle's about using a Pullman
pass on his wife's account. We don't
want that sort of men in Office if We
can help il"
Other leading A. R U. men talk the
same way

SAYS his passes all came to him without
solicitation, so it looks rather strange
that the auditor of state. the man who
keeps the tax records. should be omitted
in the distribution of favors.
III the state board of railroad assessors
want to be above suspicion they should
not accept passes from corporations
whose taxes they regulate.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1894-10-12

Mr.. Pratber continued: 81 haven't a
Pullman annual, but when 1 went east
last fan I had trip pass L wrote tc
the Pullman company and asked for a
pass, and they sent me trip pass"
What do you think about the use of
passes, sny way, Mr.. Prather?"
Il am opposed to the system, but as
long as passes are sent out and used so
universally, see no reason why I
should not use mine"
Mr. Prather says he hasn't Pullman
annual, but Mr.. Biddle and Mr.. Little
both say they have. and Mr. Biddle

former, for in the end he rides on Pull

eminent.

Col. Fred j. Close, who came to To-
peka when Governor Lewelling was in
augurated, lives just outside of the city
in Topeka township.
When the township assessor called on
him last spring for list of his personal
property he made and swore to a state
ment which reads: "All personal prop
erty is listed in Doniphan county, Kan
sas."
A few days ago County Clerk McCabe
wrote to the county clerk of Doniphan
county. asking him to send him list of
the personal property statement of Fred
j. Close for the year 1894.
To-day the following reply was re-
ceived: Troy, Sept %, 1894. Dear Sir:
No statement of the personal property
of Fred J. Close for the year 1894 is on
file in this office. Yours truly, W. II.
Forncrook, county clerk.
Colonel Close will now be summoned
before the county commissioners and
will be asked to explain why he made a
false return, and the county clerk must
according to law add so per cent 70 his
tax as penalty for making a false re-
turn.

THIS Pullman pass expose is shock
