The basis for said representation is two dele
gates at large for each county and one addi-
tional delegate for each $50 votes or major
fraction thereof, cast for IL. S. Osborne for
secretary Of state, determined by adding the
vote cast for him i'm 1890 and 1892 and dividing
the result by two. Delegates to said conven-
ton will be elected by regularly called cOun-
~ convention of the party and ii is recon-
mended that conventions for the election of
delegates to this convention be held in all
counties in the state on the 9th day of May
1894 and that the primaries for clecting dele
gates to said county convention be held on
Tuesday, the END day of May, at such places
as may be designated by the call for county
conventions II is also recOmmen ded that at
the county conventions held for the purpose
of clectlng delegates to these conventions,
the county central committee for the cam
paign Of 1894 be selected and that said COM
mittee meet Immediately after the adjourn
ment OF said convention for the purpose of
organizing; that the selection of the county
committee be made the first order of busin ess
in said convention after permanent organiza-
ton. The secretary of said county conven-
ton will forward to the state chairman list
of the delegates and alternates, together with
list OF the county central committee as Sc
lected, Immediately after the adjournment of
said convention, 1t is recommended that in
the selection of delegates to said state con-
Vention the several conventions refrain from
clccting any state officer or state employee.
Ii Is further recommended that all persons,
irrespective of former party affiliations, who
believe I'm the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of Is to /; who believe in
more money and less taxes; who believe in
strict economy in government affairs; who
believe i'm graduated income tax; who be-
who believe the promises made by the govern
ment to the soldier when he enlisted, he strict
ly fulfilled; who believe that freight and pas
senger rates in Kansas should be based on the
actual cost of construction and legitimate ex-
pense of operating the railroads and that such
rates should he reduced to correspond with
the reduced prices of products of labor; who
believe that the wages due railroad employees
should be first lien on all property of the
road, payable before any other claim, whether
the road is operated by the company or by re-
ceiyers and that no officer or stOckholder of
any railroad should be appointed receiver
thereof, and who believe that the legislation
outlined herein will restore prosperity to the
country and enable thousands who are now
tramping the country in enforced idleness to
secure profitable employment and enjoy the
primaries and conventions.

A Special Offer.

OF the many populist exchanges COM
ing to our Office, none spends so much
money to get the suppressed Washing
ton news before it's readers as the Non
conformlst. Yes, suppressed news.
What the plutocratic papers have been
careful to keep their readers from find
ing out, the two tireless correspond
ents of the Nonconformist have dug up
and sent the paper for the benefit of it's
thousands of readers. Many a secret
has thus leaked out that the plutocracy
never meant that the common worka-
day people should know.
We have made special arrangements
whereby we can send the Monochrome
list and the INDEX from now until Jan
uary l, 1895, for One Dollar.

WE have been requested upon few
occasions to dilate at length upon the
Coxey movement. This we have here
tOfOre deemed quite unnecessary as the
press has only poured its Shiny paid
for sayings oyer the leaders of the
movement, whose motives are honest,
patriotic and lawful though at times
have been unable to restrain their arm
les to the limit they hoped to. Any
man with an ordinary amount of sense
can plainly see that it is quite imross-
IDLE for any one to keep large body Of
half starved men from committing
what some of the so called upper ten"
choose to style 'depredations;" but we
have no hesitancy in saying that taken
collectively and considering the insults
and mistreatment that the Coxeyites
were subjected to. they have thus far
conducted themselves very orderly and
gentlemanly. Notwithstanding the
fact that he met with sneers and SCOTS
and cuffs from the Washington officials.
Coxey has shown himself to DO q
man Of superior gentlemanly de.
meanor, fact whichno one can suc-
cessfully deny. 1t is true that few
trains have been captured but it was
only because the companies refused to
carry tho mon after having been offered
full rates for the class OF cars desired.
We insist that the petitioners are not

DANGEROUS pREcEDENTs.

The following from the Hutchinson
News, a staunch republican paper
speaks volumes in favor of government
ownership and control of transporta-
ton lines. The unjust discrimina-
ton in freight rates, the favOring
OF those who can abundantly afford to
pay, at the expense of the needy class.
are noted examples of corporate greed;
and the only way to have these evils
eradicated from among the honest toll
ers of the land, is for the general gov
eminent to assume entire control. The
so called argument used by the opposi-
ton, that the management of public
enterprises would place too much re-
sponsibility upon the government, that
it would create too many public Offices

this republican paper that has hereto.
fore cried anarchy" at the measure 1T
now indirectly commends. This arti-
Gle was brought forth from the News,
in response to an editorial which ap-
peared in the Topeka Capital of which
the following is an extract:
Judge Caldwell of the United States
court has ordered the receivers of the
Santa Fe to ignore the action OF the
Kansas railroad commissioners in re-
ducing the freight rates on lumber and
coal to the city of Wichita. Judge
Caldwell's action was based on the
ground of superior jurisdiction. That
ID, the receivers are acting under feder-
al authority, and federal authority is
higher than state authority.
Now here is what the News says. We
like 10 quote republican authority.
Scan 1t carefully and then ask yourself
the question whether or not the popu-
list schemes are wild and visionary.
The courts that make such decis-
ions are playing with fire. They are
getting too close to the danger line.
Teach the people that bankrupt rail-
road can go into the federal courts, get
receiver appointed and then ride
rough shod over state laws and state
regulations, and they will not be long
in demanding that the government as
sumo absolute and unconditional con-
troll of all the railroads, and tina: such
control be placed in the hands of par
ties amenable to the people instead of
courts protected from removal from Of
flee by laws of life tenure. If the gov.
eminent can exercise paternal super
vision of bankrupt roads through it's
courts, the people will want to know
why it cannot exercise the same super
vision over roads not bankrupt through
its other branches. The court decis-
ions III this matter of recelvership
within the past year have done more to
crystalline public sentiment in favor of
government control of railways than
all of the speeches and writings of So
cialists of all ages combined"

THE time and place for the holding
of the Seventh congressional conven-
ton was left to the executive COM
mittee to name, which IS represented
from all parts of the district. The con-
gressional committee at the meeting of
which nearly every county was repre-
scented, instructed the committee to do
this, and amounts to the same, so far
as representation is concerned, as
though they would have set the time
and place at the meeting May 5th.
Their reason for this was Jerry's ill
ness. We mention this for the benefit
