F. w. Frasius' Letter.
Editor Olyds Voice:

Editor Clyde Voice:
Permit me through your columns 10
give my reasons why refuse to longer
affiliate with the democratic party I'M
der its present leadership. Coming into
power two years ago, IL was In q position
TO give the country wholesome legislation
but IL has violated every pledge II gave
and every promise IL made In the platform
which secured for II the grand victory Of
1892.
In its platform the democratic party
Recommended the prohibItory 1O-pOr-cent. tar
on state.bank issues repealed
But the democratic Congress killed, with.
out debate, bill introduced for this pur-
pose. The platform
Denounced republican protection ~ . fraud.
But, after the jugglers in Congress COM
plete the tariff bill, IL will require a
powerful lens to discover where demo-
cratic revenue begins or republican pro-
teotion ceases.
The platform demanded
The use Of both gold and silver as the, standard
money Of the country and the coinage OF both gold
and silver without discriminating against either
metal.
Nevertheless, the democratic Congress
Disseminated against silver by the unCOn-
ditional repeal of the Sherman law, and
the President, by vetoing the seigniorage
bill, finally completed its overthrow.
The platform denounced
The trusts and combinations which are designed
TO enable capital to secure more than It's just share
Of the Joint products of capital and labor.
. And yet democratic Congress permits
the agents and representatives of trusts
to dictate the schedules and shape tariff
legislation.
Having repudiated its platform, I can
not see how the party, with its record of
broken promises, and with the Presidents
settled financial policy becoming the pol
10y of the party, can again 60 before the
people and expect them to believe in it1
sincerity.
The utterances Of the party platforms
and the acts Of the party leaders cannot
be harmOnized. In fact, do not see any
reason for the continued existence Of the
party under these conditions, because the
republican party has prior right to thll
policy, and is better prepared to advocate
and support It,
Mr.. Editor, there should be more pstri.

Judge J. P. Hindman's Letter.

The following letter was written by
Judge j. P, Hindmau, of Olathe, to the
Kansas City Star, and will explain itself:
Your issue of the 18th inst. contained a
dispatch from 0lathe to the effect that
would be a candidate before the pOpulist
congressional convention, at Paola, and
containing the further statement, that
after the election of 1889 became pro
hibitionist, but last year espoused the
cause of the populists, and made some
speeches during the campaign. The first
part of this statement is incorrect. In
1890, not only supported the republican
ticket, but advocated the principles of the
party as set out in the state platform.
Now, with tens of thousands of the citi-
gems of Kansas who were identified with
the republican party four years ago, l am
identified with the populist party. If
asked why we have changed our political
principles, we reply we have not changed.
We are to-day advocating the same polit-
ioal measures, the same legislation, which,
as republicans, we favored four years ago,
But the so-called republican party of
Kansas has abandoned every principle set
out in its former platforms. Four years
ago the state platform demanded the
free coinage of silver. The present plat
form is simply rehash of the views of
John Sherman and President Cleveland.
Four years ago Kansas republicans advo-
Gated reduction of tariff duties. This
year the platform is, "We adhere to the
republican doctrine of protection" In
1890 the party boldly advocated many
measures of vital interest to the people of
Kansas, To-day it is as silent as the
grave upon every living issue before our
people, and its only reference to state
legislation is this ave favor national
and state legislation for the encourage.
ment of irrigation"
The platform points to the past, but
underss:saaes nothing for the present
and promises nothing for the future
There was time when the republican
party of Kansas boldly met every public
question and was the advocate Of every
political reform. To-day 1t is q party

From Cheyenne County.

II is reported that Hon. t. F. Egan, OF
st. Francis, has Joined the peoples party
If the report is true, we gladly welcome
Mr.. Egan to the party of the people,
AttOOod Patriot,
Mr.. Egan has been a prominent demo
orat. Three years ago he was the nomi'
nee Of that party for state senator. He
says; ~ am with the party that is fighting
John Sherman and his henchmen and
Grover Cleveland and his henohmen." In
other words, he is a populist, and is doing
good work for the party.
Geo. Lawless, OF county superintendent
and for several years secretary of the
democratic central committee, and al
present deputy county treasurer, has
enough of democracy, and will henceforth
be found in the populist ranks working
with all his might for the success Of the
party.
Ohas. Gates, rustling farmer of Lawr
Ridge township, who has always voted
with the grand old party, has signed the
pOpulist club pledge, and Is now shouting
for Lewelling.
Thomas II. Williams, we'll TODD farmer
of Calhoun township, and democrat from
infancy, says that party gave him

A. W. and John O. KaOkson, Of Eureka
township, father and son, heretofore demo
crats, have Joined the pOpulists. They
are right in the harness, and doing excel
lent work for the party.
w. Don Fowler and q. A. Rathbun, o.
Benkelman township, have left the ole
parties. Mr.. Fowler was democrat ant
Mr.. Rathbun was republican. Now they
are pOpulists, and are ready TO prove Il
whenever the occasion presents itself.
Another recent recruit is Ben: Galloup
of Benkelman township. He has always
been republican, but says he has con
cluded that republicans are democrats, and
vico Vcrsd, and that the popuIist party II
good enough for him.
VS.. Coleman, of Lawn Ridge township
prominent democrat, has got his eye
opened, and is now "stumping tn

and is a valuable addition to our ranks.

.dvooatea Of Oold monometallism and in

advocates OF gold monometallism and in
actively mourn.
The ease with which Grover Cleveland
construed the life out of the national dem
ooratic platform convinced me that the
only hope for true bimetallism lay In the
election of bimetallists to Office, and be-
fore the republican convention was held
had firmly resolved TO vote for no man for
any legislative Office who was opposed TO
the free coinage Of silver.
In my opinion, John Sherman Is no
Armer advocate OF gold monometallism
than is the republican candidate for con-
gresham at largei and although he may
declare himself thousand times In favor
OF bimetallism, his voice and vote, II
elected, would be given for single, goid
standard.
Bimetallism is q term Of recent origin.
Webster defines bimetallism as the legal
ixed use of two metals In the currency OF
q country at a fixed relative value. Both
the definition and derivation Of the term
forbid its use to designate any arrange
mont whereby one metal 10 favored AZ the
expense OF the other.
No man is a bimetallist who does not
favor the legalized use Of both metals
without discrimination.
No one could claim to be trimetallist
because he believed In the use OF copper
pennies in connection with gold and sill
YER. He is no bimetallist who opposes
the coinage Of silver on equal terms with
gold.
Blue belongs to the class who assured
rs that the repeal Of the Sherman Law
would be followed by wave OF uneTsm
pied prosperity. So far as l have heard
Kansas has not been drenohed with 1t.
These men now explain that the pres
emit depression is due to the fear OF In
furious tariff legislation. All present
Indications denote either no tariff legisla
ton or immaterial reductions.
30 long as present financial conditions
remain, prosperity will continue to be
will-o'-the wisp.
The lack of confidence which prevents
Investments is justified by the continued
falling of prices. This depression will mo-
cease until the volume of currency In cir
Oulation becomes adequate TO tho business
demands.
II all Of the silver mined In the whole
world for the next ID years should b

The land, including all the natural
sources of wealth, is the heritage Of the
people, and should not be monopoliSed
for speculative purposes, and alien own
ership of land should be prohibited.
All land now held by railroads and other
corporations in excess Of their actual
needs, and all lands now owned by aliens,
should be reclaimed by the government
and held for actual settlers only.

The Quarrel and Reconciliation Of tire
Dramatist and Actress.
Speaking Of Sardou and Bernhardt,

latter pulled his hat down over his

Then Sarah Bernhardt left the Come

she made her first triumphal tour, and
returned to France. Upon her arrival
In Paris she entered into negotiations
with Raymond Deslande, manager Of
the Vaudeville. She asked nothing bet

she play? She did not wish to return to

child two blows, made him go up to the

into his hard cot, but he was comforted

Now, when he ran to her, awakened
by her cries and in ecstasies at seeing
