Judge Martin to Lead the Dem
Ocrats at Chicago,
Seemed to Be the Sentiment at
the LOvefeast Last Night.
Last Night-The Last Of the Mohi-
cans Net and Held a Confer
ence-Overmyer Asks that
Martin Head the Dele
cation.

The Topeka Democracy had love
feast last night. The leaders fell upon
each others mecks and there was a
complete reconciliation between ex-
Senator John Martin and David Over
myer; and Governor Click and Joe
Lowe talked pleasantly about all the
other Democrats in the state.
There were about 100 Democrats
present and they were generous in their
applause They liked the turn things
were taking and it looked as if the
leaders were really in earnest and in
tended to do something to unite the
remnants of the divided Democracy.
Mike Heery acted as chairman and
the crowd called for Overmyer.
Mr.. OVernyer gracefully yielded the
floor to Senator Martin, who, he said,
was the only Democrat who ever repre-
scented the state of Kansas in the Unit
ed States senate.
Senator Martin devoted almost his
entire talk to the silver question. IF
Harrison were president now" said he
and he had pursued the same financial
policy as the present administration
has followed. there would not be a
Democratic paper, a Democratic states
man or q. Democratic convention in the
United States that would not condemn
the policy in the severest terms. Some
corporation lawyers might uphold it,
but no other Democrats"
We hope to send a delegation to the
favor of the free coinage of silver at
16 to /. And we viii nominate a Dem
ocratic ticket on a Democratic plat
form pledged to that policy. Then
short time after the great silver con
vention viii meet at St. Louis and we
viii appear before them and ask them
in the name of the great common peO-
pie to 1ndorSe our candidates The sill
yer convention viii do it, Then we Will
appeal to the wisdom and sense Of JUS
tice of the PopuIists at their national
convention and I believe that they, too
viii indOrse our candidates.
Then we win sweep the country and
no power on earth can stop US.
Governor Click also declared him
SELF in favor of free silver and over
nyer and Joe Lowe followed along the
same line. Overmyer asked that SEN
ator Martin be sent to the national con-
ventiOn as the head of the delegation,
and this is indeed magnanimous when
tho fact is considered that Overnlyer
wants to go to the convention himself

&c. 10 80.

Matters which have recently come
to light in connection with the contest
for the gubernatorial nomination in
1894 viii remind those familiar with
Kansas history, Of old times. The fact
that man paid 100000 in cash for a
United states senatorship, $4,000 Of
which sum went to a rival candidate
as an inducement to withdraw. is not
forgotten by the old citizens.
Money was plenty in those days and
Office and influence brought a good
price. Values in this line. however
have declined along with everything
else until we behold a man Offering to
take 49, 500 for his chance of being gov
ernor, il the stories of his partners in
business can be believed. At any rate
there seems to be no question about the
prices the only point at issue being who
made the offer. The smaLness of the
figure is deplorable.
Why, in those old days a vote Of
legislator was sometimes worth 81. 900
when a United States senator was to
be elected. 1t is not surprising that it
is often asserted in these degenerate
days that the people are losing respect
for their parties and for their rulers
How can it be otherwise when the val
ne of a chance at the governorship is
offered for $500 with no takers. The
people seem to have no objection to be-
ing sold out. but they are liable to rebel
at being sold SO cheap. Prices Of Off
ces should be advanced, if it is neces-
sary to form a trust to do it. If a trust
should be organized, Cy Leland seems
to be the proper man to manage it,
though William Higgins claims to have
some experience Then, Jim Legate
should not be forgotten.

1t is estimated that the apprpria-
tons already made by congress for
next year viii exceed the government
revenues by s1OO. 100000. Since there is
no possibility Of making any change in
the tariff in time to meet the condition.
Mr. Mckinley, or whoever shall be
elected as the successor of President
Cleveland is reasonably certain to find
himself face to face with the same con-
citions that have confronted the gen
tleman from Buffalo during a great
part Of his term, and may be forced to
either issue bonds or coin SILVER.
