AFTER LORENZO.
Local Anti Doodle Club Or-anized and Headed
By DIR. Pratt.

An anti-Lewei!ing club was formed
in this city Sunday afternoon, the same
being branch of "A general club move
ment throughout the state with especial
strength at Topeka. Leavenwortb, Kansas
City and other cities
DR.. Pratt is al the head of the movement
in this city and has quite number of
apostles following him. including some OF
the strong est Populists in the county.
DR.. Pratt, it is said. has been in the re-
form movement for about twenty-four
years. When the POpulist party came into
existence be felt hope, and when the party
actually got into power i'll this state he was
fairly beside himself with JOY. Now"
thought Dr. Platt, 1.-THE sun of my hope
for purity in governmental affairs, has
risen and he was happy tor his friends say
that he is sincere reformer. Time, how
ever, undeceived him aud he was not long
finding out tina, the party that he consid-
cred was the hope OF the STATE and the pltl-
mate hope of the nation, was the rottenest
political organization IN the history OF
American politics. He found boodling In
every nook and corner aud corruption from
one end of the state to the other The doc
tor was filled with mingled Indignation
and DESPAIR He still believed in the Pop
ulist doctrine and the wisdom OF the Pop
ulist party and went on hoping that
dishonest administration would be retired
at the first opportunity and an honest one
elected. The county convention to elect
delegates to the state convention came. aud
DIR. Pratt attended it to raise bis voice
against the denomination of Lewelling.
He was sat down upon aud insulted. The
enemies of true reform held the conven-
tlon in their power aud Lewelling was en-
dorsed over an eloquent protest by the
doctor and Others.
DR.. Pratt has many duplicates all over
the state They finally came together and
organized state movement against the
reelection of the corruptionists. and the
local organization perfected here Sunday
is a branch of II. The membership of it
could not be ascertaiued. but it is said it
includes all the old time reformers of the
city and surrounding country. Fight
Leweling and his gang TO the better end
is their motto.

particularly sad in this case and Mr.. and
