VIII ndhc Inem COVER at MS I6eG and
say: beloved master whatsoever thou
say lest we will do" just like the two
above mentioned papers. We fRd this
remarkable statement in the State
Journal of recent date.
'All the financial men and institu-
tiOns In the East who have ever loaned
any money in Kansas are singing i'll
chorus: The nomination of Mai. Nor
rlll is all the security We wait. Elect
Maj. Morrill, and you can have our
money" This is what certain Kansas
republicans would have the people be-
lieve. 1t is all fOOliShness. The east
ern people do not care what good man
is governor of Kansas, as long as he
represents the party that does not re-
pudiate its debts"
Let's look into this reputation bust
ness i'll Kansas which seems to haunt
some republicans by day and by night
The following interview was published
in the daily Capital not long ago which
fully explains Itself and shows what
party is repudiating its debts under a
receivership:
Topeka yesterday from Chicago. He
was seen at his home last evening after
the news of the Teceivership was re-
ceived. Mr.. Fry was very positive that
the appointment of the receivers would
result in marked improvement in the
physical condition of the road. AS
you probably know, he SAID. the step
became necessary because of the road
inability to meet the interest due Janu-
airy /. OF course this action will stop
all interest, and the entire income uu-
der the receIverShip VIII be expended
on the operation and betterment Of the
roads property"
Then in an editorial in the same is
sue of the Capital we find this piece of
reputation from the fluent pen of that
great newspaper sIugger, Maj. Hudson:
1.-The bondholders and holders of
stock will simply have to wait until
times are more prosperous and the
property'S earnings increase beyond OPP
Grating expenses. When the road can
pay up its interest and show to the
court that it is self sustaining and
able to meet its interest demands it
can then be released from the hands
of the receiver"
The following is an interview in the
State Journal upon the same subject
with j. G. Wilson, one of the receivers
who, it seems, is fully Of the same
opinion as the other regulators of in
terest and debt.
When seen at his home in Topeka by
a State Journal reporter this afternoon.
Mr.. Wilson said: " Yes, Mr.. D. b.
Robinson first vice president of the
Santa Fe company has been appointed
agent of the re ceivers.' lone thing.
however, is certain, the road will be
put in better shape than it ever
was. The money which was formerly
used to pay intere st will now be used
TO pay employees, and build up the road i.
Not long ago the Wichita Eagle gave
publication to the following utterances
of Marsh Murdoch who was promi-
nent candidate two years ago for gov
ernor.
None but the blind can remain in
sensible to the fact that the country is
bankrupt and its individual obligations
not one half discharged. What the
country wants is Judean year of jul
bilee, a rubbing out of old scores and a
new start. A just bankrupt law might
leave clean slate within a year, but in
the absence of such congressional ac-
ton no man can see the end of the
present Distress"
Here we have some of the ablest
"standups" in the republican party,
actually practicing and advocating re-
pudiation, yet they have the consumate
gall to call the peoples party the re-
pudiation party. The populists never
ask for anything except stay law on
foreclosures SO they could pay the debts
as we'll as the interest. They do
not ask for law which would stop IN
terest as the one which seems to be
made especially for corporations, and
one which Mr.. Fry of the Santa Fe
gleefully asserts Will 'stop all interest,
and the entire income under the recelv-
ership will be expended on the opera
ton aud betterment of the roads pro-
perty." This process can go on for an
indefinite time and the interest repudi
ated forever. Oh. you scheming, lying,
villifying aggregation of vampires.
You take the people for fools, but you
will find next November that the aims
OF the populist party in educating and
lmploring the people to do their own
thinking has not been in vain.
upon the guhernatorial question the
state journal of recent date accident
ally published the following truths:
Mr.. Sam I. Howe is financial
man, and he knows what he is talking
about when he says the eastern people
don't care snap whether the next gov
ernor is Maj Morrill,, Hoch, Martin oil
delZer. They prefer to have a repub-
lcan In power, and the larger majority
the better" This is a fact. They dc
not care who he is so he represents
their interests instead of the people OF
the state. No higher compliment could
be paid Gov. Lewelllng than that he
does not represent eastern capital OF
eastern people. He represents Kansas
Kansas ideas and Kansas people, and
that is the kind of man the people OF
Kansas want. 1t is an outrage upon
the intelligent people for Kansas papers
to ask for our support of certain man
because he is acceptable to eastern PEG.
pie. We are already too much con-
trolled by eastern peoples ideas. Our
republican papers in particular.
