The POpulists of Kansas Are Worse
Than Tammany Hall Could
Ever Have Been.

NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-"If the sworn,
specified. detailed and documented ac-
cusation of their own leaders is to be be-
lieved, the Popuist administration in
Kansas has been the most prOfllgate. de-
based, degraded and disgraceful Govern
ment ever known in any State in the
Union. Before it Tammany pale its in
effrctual fires"
Ii was thus that ex-senator John j.
ingalls, described the late Lewelling re-
gime in Kansas. lie came to this city
from Boston. where he delivered a lecture.
"Populism," he said, ''has reached its
eliminating point and has made re-
markable impression upon the legislation
of Congress. The income tax is abso-
lutely and unequivocally Populist meas
ure. 1t was advocated by neither the Re-
publican nor the Democratic party. The
Populist platform alone contained line
of reference to such tax. The income
tax is a measure of immense significance.
The PopuliSt crusade was a campaign of
spoliation.
Il do not regard the election of this
year as in any sense a certificate of I'M
qualified confidence in the Republican
party. The Democracy met defeat be-
cause it had demonstrated its con-
spicuous and unqualified incapacity to
deal rightly with present day problems.
The election means simply that the Re-
publican party has another chance. If it
fails, 1t too will be brought low. If the
Republican leaders accept the opportunity
presented we shall win III go. But the
tariff will not be the great issue nor will
any candidate be successful whose posi-
ton is not known upon other and. be-
lleve. far more momentous questions.
'The wealth of the rich. the poverty of
the poor. the exclusive and menacing
power of corporations, with the strangu-
lauon of trade by vicious financial >sys-
tenn and the more general diffusion of
prosperity among the masses, these are
the vital questions to-day. Whichever
party shall reveal its capacity to deal in
telligenuy and successfully with these
problems will hold the reins OF govern
ment."
