J. W. Morphy, Esq, Topeka, Kas.:
Ny DEAR SIR-I am in receipt of your
inquiry of recent date, asking my reasons
for leaving the republican and joining the
populist party. Will say, in taking this
step, 1 do it believing that it is the right
thing to do. 1 am just as good a republi-
can as ever, and 1 honor and revere the
old republican party for innumerable
good measures and good laws passed by
them. But of late years it seems to me
a new and altogether different party, styl-
ing themselves republicans, have sprang
into existence, and by virtue of the money
power behind them, retain miraculous
grip on the name republican. am led
to believe, from their actions, that the
leaders in both old parties have combined
with the moneyed powers of the
earth, as against the common people,
and / believe it SO strongly that
if Endorsed each and every plank in
the republican platforms, and only in
dOrsed one plank in the populist plat
forms, l would be constrained to vote the
pop. ticket, for l have not the least hope
of Congress composed of the two old
parties, or either of them, ever again pass
ing a good and wholesome measure that
will benefit the common people. 1, how
ever, believe the masses of the republican
party mean right. But the masses are
the minority when it comes to passing
laws. l am in favor of free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver, 16 to l. So were
our three republican congressman, last
winter. But what could they do, battling
against the powers.
was at the Minneapolis convention and
heard that platform discussed and adopted,
and the plank in it referring to the coin
age of silver is only a forerunner of that
part of that meaningless plank relating
to silver in the republican platform re-
Gently adopted at Topeka, which is sus-
ceptible of any construction that would fit
alegislative enactment favoring the money
loaner. In short, 1 consider the Min
neapolis, Chicago and Topeka platforms
regarding the coinage of silver very weak,
cowardly documents, framed expressly for
the purpose of misleading the voter. 1
consider Sherman, Quay and others in
Congress the prime leaders in the repub-
lican ranks, and working hand in hand
with Grover Cleveland and those democrats
who 1 believe are in harmony with the
Wall street element, backed up by the
Bank Of England. The reason / think

that, is their actions in keeping the eireu-
leting medium scarce, thereby keeping
rates OF interest high, and prices of com
modities raised by the producing classes
low.
believe in the kind of republican doc
trine advocated and practiced by Lincoln,
Logan, Garfield, Stewart, Plumb, and
these representatives of the common
people. 1 am the kind of q democrat

kind, are.

ating with the populist party, but for
fear become too lengthy, will close for
the present. Yours truly,

The other night d man went 10 the

the virtuous hero who was wont to take

Vice President p. III. Penna, Of the
United Mine Workers, has called a
delegate convention of district IA

the interest of the organization and
to take into consideration the ac-
ton of President Walters. The
call is very strong in language, and
among other things says: The ma

hundreds of dollars toward main
tanning President Walters as organ
izer among you, and ceased to help
him only when he proved recreant
to his trust and violated his pledges.
We cannot help him again unless
he can Vindicate himself.
