though the material had to be i'm
ported from Colorado. Kansas has
passed through many and various
experiences, SO far as Topeka is con-
cerned will make no kick against
Swapping" several thousand Of her
demagogic, polluted champions OF
bogus reform. for such men as con-
stitute the Cripple Creek army un-
der General Sanders. Brunstane
mixed with them much and talked
with men and leaders and found
them peaceable, intelligent working
men, mostly miners, who have not
earned dollar since congress began
its tariff tinkering work. The most
of the men are free silver republi-
cans, and will support the next re-
publican candidate for president.
They will have nothing to do with
the Kansas pops, and when Seen
eral" Sanders passed through the
train before reaching Topeka and
warned his men against Clemens,
Osborn, Artz and the state house
gang, they cheered him. In talking
with Sanders he told Brunstane that
there was not fire arm in his army !;
that they were peaceable, law abid-
ing citizens; that an anarchist
would not be allowed in camp over
night, that man had to be an hon
est, respectable American citizen to
belong to his army; that they knew
no politics except to down the
Cleveland administration in the in
terest of American industries and
American workingmen. Four out
five men talked with, cared moth
ing about going to Washington,
but merely want to get back to "the
states" where they can better their
condition, and they would leave the
army any day they could find work.
They were all pleased with their
treatment by the federal authorities
and by the people of Topeka and
Kansas, but crisicise the people of
Colorado for the brutal manner in
which they tried to drive the army
out of the state. General Sanders
criticises Coxey very severely for at
tempting to force himself on the at
tention of the Washington author
ities.
There is good sized row between
the pop and democratic leaders of
the proposed fusion. The demo-
Gratis have been growing more and
more disguised at. the anarchist ten
denotes of the state house gang and
Clemens, Artz, Diggs and others
over the commonweal movement.
The matter was brought to the sur
face by the action of United States
Marshal Nicely. He not only ar
rested the train stealers under San
ders, but he did all he could to keep
TIE pop leaders from preaching their
doctrine of discomfort and Iawless-
ness to these men while they were
prisoners. Nicely is backed up not
only by the leading fusion demo-
Gratis, especially in eastern Kansas,
but by General Sanders himself, who
voted the populist ticket in 1892.
Nicely and his hackers have declared
open war on the pops who are con-
slant companions of law breakers,
and they declare that the present
breach will be widened rather than
closed up. The manner in which
all the pop congressman and sena-
tors are trying to harass the admin
istration and plead for the law
breakers has Disguised the democrats
and they are now making common
cause against this new element Of
danger which reform" proposes to
bring upon the country. Marshal
Nicely said to Brunstane, II have
great sympathy with these unfortu-
nate men, but if this train stealing
and other acts of lawlessness is toll
Grated for moment, it will be but
q few weeks until the roads are do
ing nothing but hauling these ar
mics about the country, whittier
they take a notion to travel. We
viii have NO mail service, and the
people of the country will have to
spend their time putting out the
fires started over the country by the
anarchistic leaders of this reform
craze. K. BRUNsTANE.
