MCRRILL'S CRIMES.
The Truth Stands Out as Gross as
Black and White.
The Record Tells Thousand Several Tales,
and Every Tale Condemns Him
for a Villain.

and Every Tale Condemns Him
for Villain.
/ Topeka Advocate.
The campaign whirls along toward
its close, men, measures and methods
are being discussed on all sides, and
yet there is not one who dareS to de-
fend the villainAnS record of Z. \.
Morrill, or II. w. Blue. candidates for
governor and congressman at large.
Republican, democratic ard POpu-
IiSt papers have told and re-tOld the
heartrending story of how Morrill,
robbed and blackmailed the home
stead settlers of Northern Kansas:
that the land inside of certain bOur-
daries was granted by congress to the
st. Joseph and Denver City railroad:
that after it was discovered that many
pieces Of laDd within this tWcnty-mile
limit had been filed upon by home
steaderS, congress passed another act
indemnifying the company and pro-
tecting the title of the hOmeSteaders:
that this act the railroad company

In doing this, Morrill, made de-
mandS whicn nobody on Gods earth
had legal or moral right to make.
But many Of the settlers did not un-
derStand the case, and many of those
who did understand did not wish to
stand the expense Of suit.
