The average majority of the Demo
cratic candidates for 1892, was ass. Tn
average Populist ma ority for that yea
| was 93-showing that nearly 400 Demo
Gratis refused to vote for the Populis
! candidates.
I'm 1893 the average ma jority over thu
| Democratic candidates was 327- Thu
average ma jority over the Populist can
! didates was So0-showing that mor'
than $50 Democrats refused to vote fol
the Popuhst candidates in that year
The above figures speak for themselves
Il. for one. cannot support a tickle
composed principally of politicians whit
| have gotten rich feeding at the publit
| crib, and especially so when the candi
! dacy of such persons Is an open protes
against the political principles of my
! party. Neither can 1 consent to en-
| dorse fusion which Is so one-sided and
| unfair as the fusions in this county have
1 been, which the Populists have been at
tempting ito carry out in good faith, and
| for which the Democrats have had
neither respect nor regard. / am not
prepared to say that will vote for al
| the Republican nominees, but do moi
| hesitate to say that will not support
| the ticket which is the result of a few
political schemers in Wichita, and in
which the wish of the rank and file OF
the party has been totally ignored.
! Yours truly,
''WM. E. HUTCHINSON
THE GANG Is INSINCERE.
The opposition is in a terrible fix now.
They have given up all argument and
have descended to mud singing. Vitu-
peration has been resorted to in the
most fearful manner and they hope to
drive Republican workers off the field
by opening the sewers of their cam
paign policy on them.
They can't do il and the more they
attempt ii the worse it will be for them.
At first they pretended to desire a
clean campaign and they pursued it as
long as they could fool the people, but
when they could not they adopted their
old tricks of singing mud.
NOT A LEG LEFT.
They tried to make the people be-
lieve that a vote for the Republican
ticket would be an Endorsement of the
Morrill-Dawes administration, but
when the people caught onto that fake
the managers of the Demo-Pop cam
paign changed their tactics and began
mud singing.
They knew they could not continue
the fake any longer. 1t was too alb
surd.
At the head of the ticket there Is a
state officer running before the people
Judge Martin is a candidate for chief
justice and so is c. K. Holiday Mr.
Holiday is a straight out, open. pro-
nounced anti-prfhibitfonis while Chief
Justice Martin has not expressed him
self. Everybody knows that both of
them are running for state Office.
Everybody also knows that if the oppo-
sition was sincere in their talk about
rebuking the administration that A
state officer is the first thing they would
strike at. Has any of the opposition,
either the candidates or their newspa-
per organs, asked you to strike at the
head of the Republican ticket-David
Martin-to rebuke the administration.
No. They asked you to down the local
ticket 70 rebuke the administration.
They want you to down Charlie Hat
ton. a candidate for a district judge
ship and say nothing about downing
David Martin. candidate for state JUS
tice Of the supreme court to rebuke a
state administration. They want you
to vote for Dave Dale. a candidate for
office in oHe-iuSt a little one-of the
Jos counties of the state to rebuke a
state administration and have not said
a word about asking you to vote for
Charlie Holiday for supreme chief jus
tice OF the state, to rebuke the admins
tration.
WHAT MORRILL, WOULD SAY
Their whole campaign has been in
sincere. They know it and the people
OF Wichita know it. 1t was a long time
before Republicans saw it, but they see
it now
Suppose said one man yesterday
"and the supposition is logical, that
the election was held last week before
there was such a change of public SEN
timent in favor of the Republican tick
ct. and that David Martin was elected
and the local ticket defeated, what
would the Morrill-Dawes crowd say?
They would say: OF course we were
right in our policy towards Wichita
Hasn't our part of the ticket been elect
ed and hasn't the part Of it that Muir
dock and the Eagle supported been
beaten. How can the case be palmer
Let us write down TO Campbell al once
to push the prosecutions*s and make
horrible example, That is
what they say they want when our
part of the ticket is elected and the
part that the Eagle has been fighting
for so hard is defeated Then there
Is Hatton defeated too, the man whom
we kicked out of the Office Of police
Judge. Well. we guess that the people
wanted him kicked out or they would
not endorse our action at the polls.
This is not argument against Mr.. /
Martin, IT is simply TO show the insin- |
cerity Of the fusionists.
The whole thing ought to seem plain !
hat the opposition is trying to deceive
The voters. II ought to seem plain that
heir only ambition is to get into office
and that they don't give three straws
or the rebuke they talk so much about.
And they want to do il too by Republi-
AN votes. The Republicans who are
favorable to them, if any are now.
should rise up against them. turn about
IN them on election day, and. bury their
icket so deep that they will never
lgain be able to rise. They have tried,
ike the bunco men that they are. 10
Hay upon you for suckers and like men
'ou ought TO resent ii. Such methods
lever can win. they should not be al
owed to win, they are a delusion. they
ire ins!ncere, they should be repud-
ated.
Don't forget the speech OF Senator
-ucien Baker at the auditorium Satur-
lay night.
His Head Is level.
