KANSAS PARTY LINES FORGOTTEN.
The Governor VIII Treat All Silver
Men as Friends.

kansas City, Dec. GA special to the
Times from Topeka, Kan, says:
| Inc popul1st governor elect John w.
Leedy, in an interview today Outlined a
proposition to unite Kansas populists.
| democrats and silver republicans into one
party.
If those who fought in the ranks of
the allied silver forces this fall" said Mr..
Leedy, would organize into one great
party under one name and one banner.
Kansas would never again go back into
the republican column. 1 shall do all in
my power to bring about such a union of
forces"
In the exercise of the appointive power
OF governor, he says he shall treat demo-
crat, populist and silver republican apoli-
cants for office as If they all belonged to
one party. In this respect, he thinks he
voices the sentiments of the men who will
oe ms associates in the incoming admin
This kind of policy was agreed upon
at conference of the newly elected state
ofncers in this city shortly after the cleo
ton. Mr.. Leedy was the first to put it
into effect, his first appointment being
mat OF Ed Little, a silver republican, as
MS private secretary.
Have you thought over a plan for the
union of the silver forces?" he was asked.
NO; that is a matter Tor the leaders of
the dlHerent parties to decide
When do you think the union ought to
be effected?'
The sooner the better. The work of
getting together ought to be commenced
at once"
When the populist party began its ca
reer,' Mr.. Leedy continued, sit was GUS
tomary for the people to make inquiry re-
garding the former politics of those who
were brought forward as the leaders of
the new movement. 1 recall that at our
early conventions when a candidate would
be placed in nomination for office, dele
gates would ask, is he a democrat or re-
publican" But we don't hear questions
OF that sort now. No populist cares about
the former politics of any other populist
Populists are fighting for certain princi-
pies, and the party names and prejudices
OF the past are nothing. This is as it
should be.
Fighting shoulder to shoulder with us
In the contest are democrats and silver re-
publicans. We are different only in name
In the late campaign it often occurred
that three men would stand up in the
same meeting and speak for the cause of
humanity, yet one would be classed as a
democrat, another as a populist and the
third as silver republican. 1 want to
see these factions united"

ing the clubs position relative to the

ITO protect the good name of the club
and as matter of justice to the public,
we left nothing undone to determine the
correctness of the claim made by Fitz-
simmons that Referee carp had robbed
him of the decision over Sharkey A
committee of six physicians, two of
whom were designated by the morning
papers. examined Sharkey and concurred
in saying that he had been injured. Apart
from the medical examination ordered by
the club, the precaution was taken to
stop payment of the check for $4,000, SO
that II fraud had been perpetrated by
anybody upon the club and the public
an investigation would reveal the same
and the guilty party brought to justice.
The matter is now in the hands of the
courts and the club is awaiting anxiously
the result of the judicial inquiry.

a genuine prize fight this afternoon. The
principals were Kid Flood and Tom Will
liams, the latter colored. The fight was
expected to come off last night, some

found out about it. Several local sports
remained up nearly all night. This after
noon. about o'clock, the fight took place
in a room over the Headquarters saloon,
witnessed by about As men, who contrib
uted fund for the fighters. In the sew
enth round Marshal Angevine entered
the room, placed the principals under ar
rest and took them to the county Jail,
where they are both being held pending
the county attorneys arrival, relative to
fixing a bond, which they claim they can
furnish.
AS soon as the marshal entered the room
the spectators made a mad rush for the
outside, lest they be arrested with the
principals.
Among the spectators were business and
professional men from around the city.
The matter has caused great excitement
around town, more so on account of the
day being Sunday.
