there Is nothing In common between
Populism on the one hand and Repub-
liCsnism and Democracy on the other,
except only the coinage Of silver. And
this paper has several times pointed
out another very significant fact, that
the silver men In both Of those parties
are willing at any time to compromise
on any ratio, while Populists demand
the present legal ratio-16 to /.
The actual truth is, that there is
much more likelihood that Republicans
and Democrats will unite, than that
either of them and PopuIlsts will form
union. The trend Of politics is
toward a combination of silver men In
the two old parties under the Demo
crst name, and Of the gold men of both
parties under the Republican name,
leaving Populists the second great
party in 1895 ana the first In 1900.

M'KINLEY'S POSITION.

The people are interested just now
to know how Mckinley stands on the
money question. The question is not
where he stood one or five or ten years
ago, but what his ideas are now. Gen.
GrosVenor, who is one of his trusted
lleutensnts, gives the following as his
true position. He says:
The Ohio platform and Governor McKinley'S
speeches in the Campbell debate and at the
Marquette Club are as sound on the money
question ss Mr.. Reeds London interview or
the Maine platform.
Governor Mckinley win accept the nominA-
ton at st. Louis on q sound money platform,
and win carry out rs President the sound
money promises Of the party.
The Ohio platform Of 1896 is identical In ef-
feet with the New York and Massachusetts,
platforms, and the attempts being made 70
discredit the candidate In advance win not

Republican to just as great an extent
as it does on the delegates who psrtici-
pSted in 1t. 1t is bad enough for
party to be openly charged by It's own
public men with all the existing crimes
against the purity Of ballot, to say
nothing of convention representing
nearly 20 per cent. of the Republicans
Of the State indOrsing such offenses by
a decisive vote. 1t is no longer neces.
ssry for Populists to submit proof of
such offenses. The Republican party
openly indorses them, knowing that
they were actually committed. The
good people of the Second district who
respect themselves and their reputa-
tion vastly more than they do the per-
sonsl ambitions of designing and
greedy politicians will repudiate this
infamous convention and serve notice
in a decisive way that the "purifcstion
of politics" is not ian iridescent
dream"

A DISTINGUISHED German econ0-
mist, Prof. Conrad, speaking on the
currency question, is reported as hay
ing said In q recent interview that no.
body can foretell how the situation
will develop In America if the silver
standard is introduced there at the
same time as the protective tariff.
Europe would be flooded with Ameri-
can cereals without the chance of ex-
porting products to America, and the
only preventive was, in his opinion, to
establish pan.Americsn tariff league.

REPUBLICAN papers are saying that
If the Federal Supreme court oVerrules
Chief Justice Martins decision In the
mortgage redemption case, he must
not be renOminated. AS is usual in
Republican circles, Justice Martins
case will not be considered on the
merits or dement's Of his judicial work.
Instead, he is to be judged by the opin-
ion of another court, which has over
ruled Its own decisions and the deci-
sions Of its predecessors for period
covering over 100 years.

REPUBLICANS NDORSE ELECTION OUT
RACES,


RACES.
The Republican convention in the
Second district was q remarkable one.
Its principal work was the considers-
tion of the Wysndotte contest, in
which Mr.. Buchsn and Mr.. Trickett
were opposition leaders. According to
George w. Martin, q veteran worker
for Republicanism, the convention by
its action Endorsed the Republican con-
Ventions of Wyandotte county which
for some years past shave enjoyed the
reputation Of being common auction
pens;" it indorsed primaries which
"sdded to this reputation bold-fsced
fraud, bsllot-box stufing and disfran-
Chisement of voters of the most care.
fully planned and deliberate character,
so glazing as not to leave a VeBtfRe of
decency for any party to stand on" it
Endorsed "the most diabolical treach.
cry, duplicity and deceit on the part Of
many, positively discreditsble to the
conceptions Of manhood held by Dig
ger Indian" it indorsed crowd which
by "bsllot-box stufiing, treschery, the
most infamous gsgging ever known in
q deliberstiVe body, together with the
disfrsnchlsement Of voters and false
counting, gave the organization (Of the
conVentiOn) by the narrow majority Of
two or three votes to the anti BuChsn
element" Notwithstanding that "Mr.
Buchsn had q clear and honest major
ity of the conVention;" 1t indorsed the
seating In the county convention of 10
anti. BhGhan delegates who received
III votes to 355 for the Buchsn dele
gates; 1t indorsed the seating of q del
eRation defeated by q vote Of 100 to II;
1t indorsed the seating Of delegation
which was defeated by vote Of 209 to
124; it indorsed the seating of a delegR-
tion which was defeated by vote Of

sheet showed votes cast; it nominated
q candidate with the aid of delegates
manufactured by bsllot.box stufing,
by stealing convention and the dis
frsnchisement Of Republican votes"
And according to the Lawrence
Journal, whose Republicanism has
never been questioned, this Congress
sionsl convention has so acted "thst
the Republican party will have to 90
into the campaign handicapped by the
Endorsement of one Of the most corrupt
and villsinous political conspirscies in
Kansas history. Conceived In per6dy,

cessive step by all the vices, not to say
crimes, known to the lowest and mean
est strata Of modern politics"

UNION BETWEEN DEMOCRATS AND Re
PUBLICANS.

The letter Of Senator Wolcott In
which he says ''tO secure the unlimited
coinage Of silver would count party
ties as nothing" contains, also, this
sentence: 'There is, in my opinion,
one event which might involve our
country In worse disaster than gold
monometalllsm, and only one, and that
would be the triumph Of Populism."
In the same letter he says, further:
cat this moment. however, the situS-
tion which cOnfronts us Is this. Both
of the two great parties are apparently
opposed to free coinage by the United
States. The Populist party fsVors
free coinage, but only as means to
secure more currency and as stepping
stone to unlimited paper money, and it
Unites with It's free coinage advocacy

which are dangerous In tendency, and
which would be, If adopted, destruC-
tive Of free institutions. l know of no
fourth party az yet entitled to our con-
6dence aud support, although the wis
dom Of leaders whose character and
abilities we trust may find some COM
mon ground upon which bimetsllists,
untainted with POpulism, may stand"
This letter, considered in connection
with the open declaration Of Senator
Teller that he would not support q
gold platform or gold candidate, Is
suggestive and significant. Mr.. VOL
colt would do anything except one to
secure unlimited coinage of silver.
The one thing he would not do Is to
support PopuliSt doctrines or csndi-
dates. He thinks that the "Wisdom of
leaders whose character and abilities
we trust may find some common
ground upon which bimetallists, an
tainted aOith POpWliSm, may stand"
Blmetslllsts outside the Populist
party are members of the Democrat
and Republican parties, and they are
not tainted with POpulism. Among all
of the many thousands Of blmetsllists
In those parties, not one Of the leaders
In their respective organizations has
declared himself willing or ready to
make common cause with POpulists,
whose party is the only one that has
been from It's birth In favor of unlim-
tied silver coinage. Senator Teller, q
Republican, win not support a gold
policy, but he has not aligned himself
yet with any party but his own. Sens.
tor Tillman, when charged In open
Senate with being Populist, quickly
and deAsntly denied the accusation
and repelled it with more force than
elegance.
What, then, does Mr.. Wolcott's Ian.
guage meanP Let Senator Mantle, a
silver Republican of Montana, answer.
That gentleman, in an interview
, printed In the Washington Post, speak.
: ing Of the WolCott letter, said:
This language is very plain and direct It
means, IS between Republicans and Populists,
Senator wolcOtt win remain Republican, but
It means also that II the Republican party de-
, clAFss for = single gold standard and the Dem
ocrAtic party declares for the full restoration
