ling guns used upon these men? VIII.
do they defend Pullman and the singl,
gold standard? Why did the Topek;
Capital say il anyone expected th'
national Republican convention to
declare for free silver, :" to dispel tina
idea from their brains for they neve
would?"
Why is it the Topeka Capital an(
other Republican papers endorse
Cleveland in his position upon silver:
Why is it tke Capital begs and ap'
peals to Hon. W. P. Hackney, T. l.
Bond, E. B. Whaley, H. B. Kelley,
Judge Martin, of Atchison, and many
other Republicans who have very re.
Gently declared their intention TO sup.
port their POpulist ticket to return
to the Republican fold; we need and
cannot do without you.
Why did National Banker Morrill,
and candidate for governor Of the
great commonwealth of Kansas on
the Republican ticket say, Il am
ashamed Of Kansas
Why did Dick Blue, candidate for
congressman-at large say he was for
single gold standarda in his Kansas
city speech?
Why did John J. Ingalls, say the
Republican platform just adopted in
Topeka meant "all things toall men,"
Is this platform an 'irridescent
dream?"
Why did the Wichita Eagle tell the
state convention to paste
his words of warning in their hats. if
not needed the state would be Popu-
list for the next twenty-five years.
He, like the Capital, can see the COM
ing storm that will engulfthe Repub-
lican ticket next November.
What has become of the Santa Fe
railroad Attorney Ichabod Breckin-
ridge Long? Was he at Wichita,
Dodge City or some other
point giving advice how to thwart
the railroad boys and making out Or
derS for their arrest?
Why is it the leading Republican
papers published stereotyped matter
made up and sent out by the Pullman
company in praise of themselves and
cOndemning the poor labOrers?
Why is it if the men in Pullman'S
shops are so prosperous, as the G. 0. p.
papers and Pullman assert they were
in debt $4,000 for rent to Pullman
when the strike began; if so prosper
Gus, why do the wives Of the poor
send their children with
small sack every day to pick up
small pieces Of coal along the railroad
tracks to cook their scanty meals, the
provisions purchased at Pullman's
store upon orders given by Pullman
Tor work their husbands had done for
him: Five or six Of these noble wo-
men would take this coal collected
BY these children and repair to one
house, using the same fire and stove
Ind carry the food thus cooked to
Zach OF their houses, all because they
had not the means to purchase coal.
II this is prosperity, God save the
balance. These poor men asked Pull
nan to reduce rents in proportion to
'educed wages, which he refused, and
his was the cause OF the trouble.
Rents were the same as when wages
we're double. Mr.. Pullman has be-
'ome forty times millionaire upon
,hese mems labor; he looks upon these
men as animals and their condition
jOday is worse than the slaves OF the
Outh before the war.

lie entered Cleveland's cabinet, cap

VI trust companies, but can find in
he antitrust law where he gets
What he wants when he wishes to
punish poor oppressed laborers?

lean congressman, colonel of an Ohio
'egiment in the late war, and one of
he largest manufacturers in Ohio
,oday, say and write a short time
ince that McKinley's administration
Is governor Of Ohio was a failure
Ind not fitted for president; says if
he Mckinley bill is endorsed by the
Republican party in 1896 it is defeated
before entering the canvass: he as
erts the people expected the tariff to
)e scaled downwards instead OF up-
wards: says the Mckinley bill has
made trusts and combines so that the
American people are bled on every
land, but the American farmer is
imposed upon worse than any other
lass; says there are many Unequal
