ed and pass sufficient remedial legislation
10 give the people relief. that they would
never ask them to vote the Democratic tick
ct again, tut would themselves join the pco-
pie and light IN the future under the banner

CART. KtrCHIN's srEEcH,
When eN-Congressman ki,chin arose he
Was cheered and cheercd again by the vast
audience. lie said that he came to Wilson
to-day 10 talk no new doctrine. He came 10
advocate what lac had always believed in
lie had lsborcd hard 10 get good govern
ment in the Democratic party and In the
last conpaign. even after the party had
nominated a gold bug, hc had 50 much faith
| in the other leaders of the party, that he
| honestly believed that Congress would ~.
peal Republican laws and enact Dem ocrntic

Jackson. But, he said, he, like thousands
of others had been woefully and sadly de =
ceiyed. That Congress had beat the cring
ing knee 10 Grover Cleveland that profit 10
them might follow falnining He said that
to has disgust and astonishmepl. not only
had the Northern Democrats deserted the
principles Of Democracy, but that eleven
Southern Senators had betrayed their people
and become cuckoos at the feet OF monopoly
and T. single gold standard.
lie said that the Chicago platform de d.
nounced the Sherman silver law as a COW %
ardly makeshift' for the free coinage of sill
yer, but that as soon congress met, they
said that it meant "cowardly makeshift"
for single gold standard. The Democratic
party got the votes OF the people two years
ago on false pTetenses. IL was guilty of
fraud. He said that he and other speakers
who interpreted the platform To mean free
silver lied to the people, but did not know
they were lying at the time. The People,
party speakers said the platform was written
to deceive, but and all Democratic speak
ers denounced this as untrue. To-day we
must admit that they were right.
lie said that he went 20 Washington and
told Senator Ransom that if be voted for the
unconditional repeal of the silver law, that
1t would be betrayal of the people and that
he would never get back 10 the u. S. senate
lie said that Ransom looked at him and
said, Why Buck kitchin, you are Popu-
list"
Capt. kitchin said that the financial ques
tion was the overshadowing one. Il,
thought so for some time, but the two old
parties persisted in declaring that the tariff
was the great issue. He said the tariff was a
great issue, but not so important as the mo.
ney question. He then went on TO show
that the tariff btll ti;at the Democrats were
now trying To pass was a high protection
measure, and one dictated by trusts and
combines. In short, he said, that the pa rty
had done but one thing that il prom ised Il
do, and that was to repeal the Federal elec
ton laws. But that the repeal OF this law
} would not put another dollar ia circulation
} would not add one cent To pound of cottor
= nor make single debt easier 10 pay. There
2 fore it was his duty TO the people and TO hi
, own conscience to renounce the party anc
20 TO the party which had the most Demo
cracy in 1t, and that was the Peoples party
He said that Senator Jarvis in his presenc,
made the same pledge 10 the people that h,
did, and that If Jarvis did not keep his pro
mise that he was no better than Ransom.
e He said he had another reason for ioinin,
t the Peoples party, and that was becaus
g there was no hope Of reforming the Demo
c cratic party now and therefore no reform
a could be gotten through it. IL had sold ou
: 10 the gold bugs and trusts and was to-da
:. controlled by the same influence that con
! ,rolled the Republican party. He said tina
: when he looked at the distress of the peopl
" and then looked at Congress and saw Dem

who wanted good government, that was

and to join the Peoples party.
