have been intended TO be kept within khC
republican family, but after Mr.. ARreliur
sent Monograph copies Of to several Of bis
friends it took but a short time for ONE
copy to leak out. The reader will note the
great difference between these two letter
writer's as TO the position Of the republican
party on the silver question. The editor OF
the Capital, while prOclaiming openly thSt
Morrill, and Blue are for free silver, pri-
vately declares his and his pRPty's opposi-
ton to the silver dnotrine.-ED.

EDITOR OAPITAI:-You say that Bill
Hackney and / have taken the full de-
gree Of republiCsnisn. Now suppose
you do the same by getting usrsly on
the republican platform in place Of rum
ming after false gods in the Eastern
money Centers. Yours truly,

SOME REMARKABLE ASSERTIONS.
Topeka, KAs., September, 1894.
A. q. AgreFIUsi
DEAR SIR:-In view Of the columns
of friendly notices that have for years
appeared in the Capital in behalf of your
community, not to speak OF the work
the Capital has done for the business
credit Of Kansas when towards skulked,
1t strikes Us as little strange that man
in your business should show such
singular lack Of appreciation and such
a disposition to favor us with frequent
letters Of hostile criticism. The Capital
worries very little about the silly charges
from fiat money advocates that ii ls in
the interest Of Wall street, the Great
Red Dragon and other bugaboos that
persons on your side are fondso talking
about. It seems to as peculiar that q
banker who is supposed to know some
thing about financial principles and his
tory, should continually threaten to
scratch republican ticket, OF leave
the party because Of its soundneas on
these questions. We do not believe that
you will ever see the time when the re-
publican party in this country will take
the position that you have assumed. 1t
will be q reversal, as you we'll know, Of
its entire record Of third Of q century
il it should do 80. Yours truly,
Fl. 7. CHASE,
Topeka Daily Capital.
AGRELIUs' HOT REPLY.

To THE Topeka CAP1TAL:-Referring
to your reply to my letter OF August 80
CriticiSing my action In criticising your
position on the silver question, will |
say that l am not aware that the friendly
notices that have appeared in the col
umns Of the Capital regarding this COM
munity have been given on any except |
mutual grounds, and that the friendly
attitude OF our community towards your
paper have been ample consideration for
your part Of the work. While I do not
deny that you have done your duty in
the matter Of trying to sustain the
credit OF the state when towards skulked,
that fact does not give you q warrant to
persist in Rsying things in your paper
which many Of Us can sec is driving
good men out Of the party. You say:
"The Capital worries very little about
the silly charges from fiat money adVo-
Gates that it is in the interest Of Wall
street, the Great Red Dragon, and other
bugSboos that persons on your side are
fond Of talking about" By that insinu-
