THEY PROTEST..

This paper today contains reports of
wonderful meetings held in this city
since Saturday afternoon, at which pro-
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 dignitied 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.
Purton is such as to compel the public
20 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
the people will be expressed.

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.

meeting an old soldier meeting WAS call

Judge Lewis Hanback, read Mr.. Bur

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 a
satisfactory manner, Judge Hanback, in
sroduced 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. 10, 1895. it was unanimously
resolved that we condemn the sentiments
contained in the speech of hon. j. K. 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 Christian,
a man of integrity and patriot. cover
ing him with flowers of compassion 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 a8-
full deaths in the prison bells of the south,
or living, came home to die or 20 linger
in agony until death came to their relief,

our representatives to vote against Mr..
Burton for the high position of United

To the Committee of Old Soldiers That
Called on Him To-day.
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 com
mittee mere 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 itI'
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
j. R Burton all my life. [ knew
mis- 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 number of respectable peo-
pie in the community and in the state.
"Yes, and l am one of Them" said Mr..
Veale. an o man can say word against
my life or against my honesty"
'Bat aren't you putting it rlittle
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 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"
|. MIR Veale then returned to the commit
tee and related stories of any number of
men who had been honored IN Kansas
when they were leading disreputable
life and who had reformed and become
good respectable citizens.
THAT means them" 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 a pedestal for it."
"BGt 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
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.. Veale. "Fve
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
leave him people would say l had been
/ bought"
| Members from the G. A r. post over
the river were present and told Mr.. Sher-
man that they had canvassed the post
and found only one officer for Burton
and only three members"

The number of anti-Bu-ton petitions
which are pouring in today is something
wonderful.

with petitions when it convenes this af-
ternoon from all appearances.
Two or three thousand people have
placed their names on anti Burton petit
tions in Topeka alone, and from the dis
trict north of the river, Mr.. Sherman's
district, people are still signing petitions
protesting against Mr.. Sherman casting
his vote for Mr.. Burton.
One petition contained the names o.
