KANSAS POLITICS.
Boston Journal.

Boston journal.
There is good reason to expect
that Kansas will redeem herself this
autumn from the curse of populist
rule. The crank, Lewelling, who
now holds the Office of governor.
was elected in 1892 by plurality of
only about 5000. He owed his
success to a fusion between the
Democrats and Populists, entered
into as part of the scheme of the
National Democratic committee to
prevent the reelection of President
Harrison by combining with the
Populists to support Weaver elect
ors in states where there was no
chance of getting the electors for
Cleveland. The scheme served its
purpose, but the disposition Of the
Populist partners to absorb all the
Offices and emoluments created a
GOODNESS between them and their
Democratic allies Last fall the re-
volt of the people of the state
against Popuhst vagaries expressed
itself IN sweeping victories for the
Republicans at the county elections.
After that cyclone of popular wrath
had passed there were scarcely
enough Democratic or Populist
candidates left in sight to be worth
counting.
This year the Democrats and Pop
ulists have nominated separate tick
cts. The probabilities point to a
republican victory of old-fashioned
dimensions and completeness. If
this is achieved, much will be done
to rehabilitate the credit of the
state which has suffered a good deal
because of the extrayagances and
absurdities of Populist legislation.

AID FOB IRRIGATION.

Voters who desire to secure Con-
gressional aid for irrigation should
remember by a party having only
small minority Of the members of
either house of Congress, therefore
it is entirely unimportant whether
Mr. Bakers recent conversation to
the cause of irrigation, if he has
been converted, is sincere or not,
as a member Of the populist party,
however earnest he might be in his
advocacy Of this proposition, he
would be unable to procure any APP
preparation for the people of this
district. On the other hand, it is
well known to all Of our citizens
that Hon. A. H. Ellis has been for
years, an advocate of the principle
and policy Of irrigation, and if he
is sent to Congress, even if the
lower House should not have a Re-
publican majority, and it now seems
more than probable that the Repub-
licans will have majority in that
body, still, in any event. the Re
publicans will have so nearly a
majority III Congress that he would
be able to enlist the leaders of the
party in behalf Of our people, and
secure a liberal appropriation.
Farmers Of the Sixth district, re-
member this when you come to cast
your votes for Congressman. IF
you are sincere in desiring to obtain
assistance in the matter of irriga-
ton you ought to lay aside your
party prejudice, and cast your votes
for man who can aid you. If you
do not do so, and Mr.. Baker is elect
ed, you may rest assured that any
proposition that he favors there will
result as did his private bill in
reference to turning over the
government reservation at Ft. HAYS,
which You will remember was de-
feated simply because Mr.. Baker and
one or two other populists members
advocated it.-Norcatur Register.

Think of VIM. Baker, the cham
pion Of the people wandering around
over his own district and being
greeted by small crowds or none at
all! Such is the case. As the old
song says. Things are not as they
useter be-" In days gone by when
William made his appearance IN
this part of the vineyard the breth-
rem swarmed around him like bees
around a sugar barrel. But his
glory has departed. The people are
onto you. William. They have
watched the course you have pur-
sued, William, and are greatly dis
satisfied. In short, William, you
have been weighed in the balance
and found wanting; sadly wanting.
Your people know that you are not
fitted to hold the position you do
that you were utterly incompetent;
and if you had kept firm grip on
your quid of tobacco and made no
breaks, the people might have stood
all this just for the fun of saying
that they had a populist representa-
tive in congress. But you made a
break, William, and its going to
break you in two. You voted to
levy an extra tax on the purse of
every man in the district-a fact
the farmer realizes most keenly
every time he buys a dollars worth
Of sugar. You not only are incom-
petent. but you have shown your
self to be blind to the interests of
your constituencies One who acts
in this manner. William, cannot
reasonable hope to hold the respect
or support of his people. There
fore, William, it would be well for
you to prepare yourself to return to
that weedy old farm down in Lin

LEWELLING AND LITTLE HAVE THE
FLOOR.

With silly assumption Of an air of
triumph populists impudently in
quire, where is the proof that Lew
cling ever got any Doodle?
Now, gentlemen, should any of
you bring a libel suit before a non
partisan judge against any news
paper making the charge, the jury
would be INSTRUCTED to find for the
defendant, and the Governor and
his supporters are well aware of the
fact.
The closest relationship exists be-
tween an official and his private sec
rotary. Until the private secretary
turns States evidence it cannot be
expected that the fruits of official
yillainY can be traced beyond the
private secretary's hands. 1t may
or it may not be that the money has
not yet reached the Governor.
When thieves go partners they are
not compelled to give a truthful ac-
count of the deal between them,
neither are they requested to settle
their accounts before the close of
the term. The mere fact that a
private secretary makes sale of
executive functions is not conclusive
evidence of the Governors guilt
It's effect as evidence against him
depends on how he acts when he
discovers the fact.
But the Governors retention of
such a secretary, after the fact is
known, is not mere evidence of guilt.
it is guilt. Fred Close is the Gov
errors private secretary. Steve
Sharp swears he paid Fred Close
one hundred dollars for the purpose
of corruptly influencing the Gov
ernor's official action. All the other
populists are denying, Lewelling de-
MES, Little ditto, but Close keeps
silent. He also keeps his position
as private secretary.
Also Pete Kline says that on
another occasion, fifteen hundred
dollars were paid over in the presence
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1894-10-27

of Close, and for the same corrupt
purposes Nels Aeers, whose repu-
tation for truth and veracity is good,
says so too. Little and LewelIing
vigorously deny getting the money,
but Private Secretary Close remains
vigorously silent.
Bv his silence Close stands con-
victed of infamy His longer reten-
ton as private secretary Is disgrace
to the state slld an insult to the peo-
pie. Neither the character or the
candidacy of a Governor who keeps
such private secretary under such
a circumstance is entitled to be
spoken of with the slightest respect.
Now, Mr.. Lewelling, are you the
only man In Kansas so obtuse as not
to see that the silence of your secre-
tary under these circumstances is a
charge Of infamy. against you, and
that by keeping a secretary who re-
mains silent under such circum-
stances you confess your guilt?
While you are denying-and
while Little IS denying why does
your secretary keep silent? And
since he keeps silent why do you
keep him?
You still have the floor, Governor,
and the people of Kansas are waiting
to hear from you.
Mr. Attorney General: The peo-
pie have read your statement, but
they are waiting to hear from your
father. You say you never got any
Doodle. Now listen:
The very day you were ostensibly
engaged in prosecuting that lottery
case before Justice Belts, and within
five minutes after the noon intermis-
sion, Mr.. Thomas Worthington Of
this city, and others, saw you go up
stairs the back way to private inter
view with Pete Kline, IN room
over Mark Harris store on Mime
sofa avenue, in Kansas City, Kansas.
Now Mr.. Little, when a good man
like you, whose business it is to en-
force law, goes sneaking around to
secret interviews with a bad man like
Kline, whose business it is to pay
officials money for the privilege of
violating the law, by what logic do
you deny the right Of the public to
believe what the bad man says oc-
Cured at the interview?
Dye see?
You also have the floor, Mr.. Little

Simply a Demagogue,

The nearer the day of kismet draws
for the populists, the more they cry out
against what the old parties have done.
But the student of history can point to
few parallels in corruption, in imbecile
incompetency and in downright unhoi-
ness of purpose, as is exemplified by the
present Populist State administration
Those men among its supporters who
are honest are not in touch with their
leaders and only remain in line because
they hope in time to purify the party.
They feel that with the cry of reform
upon their lips, it behooves them to see
that all cause for scandal is avoided by
their leaders. And though the leaders
of the Populist party may pass over in
silence the charges so often made and
whose reiteration wearies the ear, yet
the masses of their own party will quiet
~ ask why they can not at least answer
them.
And when the fatal 9th of November
shall have come and gone, the brazen
demagogues who have preached purity
and love for humanity while cloaking
the utter rottenness of a Close, a Pill
cher and an Artz will feel the conse-
quence OF their failure to answer these
charges. It is not enough to say that a
new party makes mistakes. That is
true, but new party with honest lead
ers, who are true to .heir purposes,
would sacrifice even party success to the
principles which they claim to repre-
sent.
Though the populists claim to hold
the memory of Lincoln in honor, though
Lewelling says he loves the memory of
the great leader, yet when he has an
opportunity to rid his party of a rogue
he let it slip by and cries, II may have
made mistakes" Why in the name of
all that is sacred in the manhood of
America does he not correct them, even
at the cost of his party's success? Be
cause ne is sincere. Because he is a
demagogue. Because, with all his pro-
fession Of love for his fellow men and
his hypocritical poetry quoting, he is
simply Lewelling, the demagogue gov
ernor of Kansas, and God grant she may
never have another.
