is against the candidacy of ]. r. Burton
for United States senator.
At Lincoln Post hall Saturday night
two sets of resolutions were adopted
against Mr.. Burton.
At the regular meeting of Lincoln Post
No. 1, G. A R, the following resolution
was introduced, adopted and made a part
of the records of the post:
Resolved, That we condemn the speech
of j. r. Burton, delivered at Wichita on
May 30, 1898, eulogizing Jefferson Davis
and disparaging the sainted Lincoln, and
we call upon all comrades, in and out of
the legislature, to oppose his election to
the United States senate.
At the conclusion of the regular post
meeting an old soldier meeting was call
ed to order with about two hundred G.
A r. men present
Judge Lewis Hanback, read Mr. Bur
toms Decoration day address and made
some comments as he went along
Captain Henry Booth of Larned also
spoke about the speech and condemned
its author.
After several other old soldiers had
talked about the speech and had con-
demned it, in what they regarded as
satisfactory manner, Judge Hanback, in
troduced The following resolutions which
were adopted as rejecting the old soldier
sentiment:
At mass meeting Of the old soldiers
of Topeka, held at Lincoln post on Sat
urday, jan 19, 1895. it was unanimously
resolved that we condemn the sentiments
contained in the speech of Hon. J. r. Bur
ton. delivered by him over the graves of
our dead comrades at Wichita. Kan, on
Memorial Day of 1898, in which he eulo-
gized the name and memory of the arch
traitor OF the rebellion, jefferson Davis,
declaring him to have been a Christian,
man of integrity and patriot, cover
ing him with flowers of passion and
praise; and,
Further, We denounce his statement
that "The boy of fifteen today with aver
age intelligence has higher conception
of human liberty" because he uttered
these sentiments in the face of the fact
that Jefferson Davis had full knowledge
of the suffering beyond expression of the
dear soldiers of the union who died aw
full deaths in the prison hells of the south.
OF living, came home to die or to linger
in agony until death came to their relief,
and we
Resolve further That we call upon
our representatives to vote against Mr..
Burton for the hign position of United
States senator, sincerely believing him to
be unworthy of the high place he seeks.
We voice the sentiments of our comrades
all over the state when we declare in IA
vor of the choice of man who will stand
in the senate of the United States as the
eulogist of Lincoln and the men who
fought with him and who died that the
flag of the union might float over an in
dividual republic. rather than for Jeffer
son Davis, the embodiment of the crime
of the rebellion.

test after protest were made against
Burton for senator
Petitions and petitions have been
signed and sent to the house and senate.
The JOURNAL in its protests has tried
to be dignifed in its statements, and did
not care to repeat old stories that were
circulated years ago.
The public has taken up the subject.
discussed it more thoroughly than the
ewspapers-reports of these recent
meetings being printed in this issue.
The ministers have emphasized one
factor in the opposition.
The old soldiers have taken up anoth-
er point.
The business people have another one.
AS stated by the JOURNAL the record
of the political and public career of Mr..
Burton is such as to compel the public
to distrust him as a representative of the
people at Washington. Some of these
discreditable acts in connection with
legislative work are matters of testi-
mony.
If the anti Burton men will unite and
stand together unitedly the sentiment of

To the Committee of Old Soldiers That
Called Him Today.
A committee from Lincoln post G. A.
r. waited on Representatives Veale and
Sherman this morning in the Office of Mr.
Veale to protest against their support of
J. r. Burton for senator because of the
speech he made at Wichita. A JOURNAL
reporter was present There is a COM
mittee here to talk to Mr.. Sherman and
me about this senatorial business said
Mr.. Veale when the reporter came in.
What are you going to do about it,"
asked the reporter.
81 am not sure,'' said Mr.. Veale. THE
sentiment of the people is divided on
the question There are just as many
good people in favor of Burton in this
town as there are against him. l want
to say to you that l have known
J. r Burton all my life. l knew
his family when he was boy and there
isn't grain of dishonesty in him. He is
just as decent man as there is in this
town and just as decent as any minister
in this town How many Josephs are
there I'd like to know; just show me one.
The reporter suggested that perhaps
there were a number of respectable peo-
pie in the community aud in the state.
Yes, andI am one of them," said Mr..
Veale. no man can say word against
my life Or against my honesty
"But aren't you putting it little
strong when you say Burton is as decent
as any man or minister in town."
IL don't know all of the ministers in
town. 1 know here Mr.. Veale
named several prominent ministers and
| know they are good men. Mr.. Burton
has been guilty of indiscretions, but what
man hasn't. I'd like to know"

tee and related stories of any number of
men who had been honored IN Kansas
when they were leading a disreputable
life and who had reformed and become
good respectable citizens
THAT means then" said one of the
committee, that our young men are to
be told that if they want honor and pre-
ferment they are to plunge into all kinds
of wickedness and they would be taken
up and set on pedestal for it."
''But what we are come here for" said
another member. sis to present our pro-
test from the soldiers on account of Mr..
Burton's Wichita speech. You know
our sentiments and you can do as you
like. We have told you how we feel
about it and you can take the conse-
quences."
"Are you going to vote for Burton?"
asked the reporter.
Il can't say" said Mr. Neale. 1--WE
voted for Burton and I've voted for Hood
Things may change. Affairs may so
shape themselves that I'll vote for some
one else, but as matters stand now l in
tend to stand by Burton. If l should

Continuing, the Eagle in its account
of Mr.. Burton's celebrated address, says:
"He cautioned the young men about the
commission of errors and warned them
against that prejudice which leads them
into errors. He said that the 15-year old
] boy of today of average intelligence had
