From the Pi;tsburg D spatch.
1t is a curious fact that the most
cherries portion of our globe and the
region that IS most awful in its desola-
ton has for generations been the center
of most absorbing interest. The re-
gion that is the most remote from all
civilization and has the least to benefit
mankind has presented a weird fascin-
alton TO explorers. that the long and
unbroken line of failures has not been
able to diminish. This is the great
zone or belt that constitutes the vast
northern circum-polar region. and
which, after defving nearly four CEN
turtles of exploring endeavor, still
guards its solemn secrets with grim
and undated vigilance. A mere cata-
logue of the public and private expe-
ditions that have been fitted out to
penetrate this strange realm would fill
pages. But whether they went forth
IN quiet or with the zeal born for
heroic daring and endurance or went
forth with the pride and pomp of the
Armada. not one OF the multitude has
found its quest.
Now. in brief. what are the general
physical conditions. what are these in

regions most remote from the solar IN
fiuence. Hence il Is that in the districts

DEFENSE OF NO DEFENSE.

Never was a party more highly fav-
ored than the Republicans in Kansas
| this year. Campaign material was never
more abundant, and, for the most part.
it is supplied by their most formidable
enemy. Charges of Doodle and corrup-
ton I'D office are made over the sigma
lures of many leading Populists. Not
only charges. but proof, convincing to
any reasonable mind, attends every
statement. These charges all stand for
the truth till they are successfully re-
futed. and there seems to be no DISPOSE
ton to do that. 1t is quite evident that
our champions of reform have elected TO
treat these charges with what they are
pleased to call silent contempt. They
assume to know more of the peoples de-
mands than the people themselves, but III
this assumption they are sadly off. The
voters of Kansas reserve the right of
passing upon the conduct of the men Sc
lected to fill the offices. They are call
ing now in no uncertain terms for a full
accounting to date of what has been
done. Among the number is large
proportion of the party which elevated
these men into power, and now, the case
being fairly before the people, the charg-
es being direct and specific, and made
by those who have the best right to know
all the details. they await the testimony
for the defense. The time is growing
short. There is only four weeks in
which to make their case. 1t NAV be
said now that they are perilously near
the time when Judgment will be taken
by default, but mean time Republicans
can afford to take a complacent view of
the situation. While the better element
OF the Popnlist party is charging fraud
in the public prints. and the accused
tacitly admit their guilt by en-
tering no defense, there is
no cause for complaint 1t reveals.
however. state of things which every
good citizen, of whatevery party affilia-
ton, should endeavor by his vote to re-
move from the good name of Kansas,
1t means an overwhelming victory for
the Republicans, but the day is not far
distant when every voter of all parties
Will be proud of having contributed In
part to this victory. That our state gov
ernmsnt should be made the vehicle for
corruption and private gain, is "A dis
grace which no state can afford to carry.
and we mistake the character OF the
voters of kanfas if they fail to sink the
whole crew in grave of infamy so deep
that resurrection will be out of the
range of possibilities.

DO YOU WANT PROOF?

I.ewelling and the Populists have de-
MED nothing. What does their silence
mean: Does iJ mean that they are
gully? Or again, as some Popuilsts
still believe, does it mean that Lewelling
and his men regard the charges as too
contemplate TO take notice OF:
Why is Lewelling silent: Is be pure
and good and above these charges OF
corruption? Or is he corrupt and dis
honest and dishonorable and does he
consider that a thief's hest weapon is
silence?
If YOU can answer this question you
can vote but one way. Ii you find that
Lewelling has teen the victim of SLAM
der and lies il is your duty TO stand by
him if you believe in Populist lrinci-
pies.
But if you find an answer which
shows that the charges are true 1t is
your duty to wipe this man out of pub
lie office forever.
How can Won satisfy yourself: You
know that Lewclling has not denied
anything; has not attempted to deny
anything. He has not even said these
charges were lies. He has simply held
his tongue.
In all this state the Populists have
made but one attempt to refute a charge.
This case is, then, all that is open to you
for an honest investigation and inquiry.
This case was in Kingman county.
NH h Iz no
charges which implicated Lewelling,
Chase and county officers of Kingman
county, Populist5. The details are too
disgraceful for publication a second
time. Now look. When a Republican
published those letters the Populists did
non deny the authenticity of the letters.
Just as Lewelling has done they held
their tongues. The Indignation over
the charges was intense and right I'M
der these Populists' noses. They had to
do something. What did they do:
They had the Republican who published
the letters arrested for stealing those
letters from Populist Branden's
house. The case was continued.
1t was later surreptitously
The letters as shown in court
were not stolen but given to Mr. AL
baugh, the Republican, by another Pop
uliSt. Brandon never had the letters.
lie made n bluff and the Republicans
called it. This proves that the Abbie
Matthews letters are all authentic not
only, but it also proves that Lewelling
and the :est OF the Populists do not dare
10 explain. You can not lie out of dis
honesty. Lewelling and his men know
this. They are using the thie's weapon
of silence.
Explanations were tried in Kingman
1t proved disastrous, Lewell-
ing will never explain.
