Stand by the Abllene Electora.

EDITOR ADvOOATE:-The loyalty of
the representatives who nominated
our State and Electoral tickets at Abb
lena ought not to be questioned, but
think their judgment was at fault.
Had the State and Electoral nOmina-
tiOns been divided so as to give to us
POpulists In both places we would have
missed some Of the rocks which are
likely to bother us. It will probably
make no difference in the result
whether Kansas votes for SeWsll or
Watson, for neither Is likely to have
enough votes to elect, but the same re-
gard for principle which has made
more than 100000 PopuIists In Kansas
will make 1t hard for Kansas Populists
to cast a ballot which In all probability
will be counted for SeWsll. Speaking
as one who has tried to 'hew to the
line" and 30 "keep In the middle Of the
road" / see Mosaic alternative. By q
union of reform forces In Kansas ten
Electoral votes can be given to Mr..
Bryan, who is very satisfactory to re-
formers generally. By dividing the re-
form vote Mr.. Bryan may lose Kansas
and the Presidency. Can Kansas Pop
ullsts find justification In contributing
to such resultP 1t is q poor way to
show loyalty to Mr.. Watson by defeat
ing Mr.. Bryan and the reform cause.
1t is poor way to maintain the prin-
Ciples Of Popnlism by hinderlng q
movement to which Populists are COM
mitted. MI. WELLS.

Morrill, Scored.
Topeka, Kas.

Rev. A. s. Embree of the First M. 2.
church Of Topeka said in a sermon May
10, 1895:
at is time that the people had some
thing besides o characterless man as
Chief Executive. We need one who will
go at it with gloves off and enforce the
law. 4 = He (MorrilD has worked
for this Office for nearly three years, and
he knew il we gave it to him just what
the oath of Office required and the people
expected. He has gone around throw
ing dust in the peoples eyes and thus
gaining thousands Of votes by posing as
q Christian man and the oldest Sunday
school superintendent in the State, and
the people had q right to suppose that
he'd enforce the law. He has kept none
Of his promises to the people, his friends
or his political constituents. In fact he
has pleased no one but the whisky men
and his political enemies"
The advocate., 1896-10-28

has heard Of shortages amounting 70
300 bushels on q single carload OF
grain, and has actual knowledge Of as
high as foEty-elght bushels Of wheat
being lost out Of q car while In transit
from Clyde to Kansas City, Kas.
Grain shipped In bulk Is often side
tracked for an indefinite period at the
pleasure Of the railroad company
carrying it, and is thus subjected to
the depredstions Of thieves, while fire.
quently old lesky cars are reSpOnaible
for the loss. But In nearly every In
stance the shipper has been powerless
to obtain redress. The railroad COM
panies refuse to give receipts or bills
Of lading for the actual amount Of
grain contained In q car, and COnse-
quently the shipper is practically bear
ing the risk Of loss while In transit,
Notwithstanding he pays dearly for
the service.
In the interest Of shippers, Senator
FOrney Populst) introduced Senate
bill No. 16, entitled "An act for the
protection of shippers Of grain, seeds
and hay" This bill easily passed the
Populist Senate, but had q narrow
escape In the House, the nays all being
Republicans. But the bill became Q
law, regardless Of Republican OppOsi-
tion. It provided "Thst the railroad
companies erect track scales at the
principal grain shipping stations in the
State, and weigh all car lots Of grain,
seeds and hay offered for shipment,
and issue valid bills of lading therefor,
showing the exact amount Of grain so
received" Was there anything unfair
about this lsWP Was IL not exactly
what the people wanted, and what had
been needed for yeRrsP
The corporations nearly succeeded
In killing this merit0rious measure,
through the opposition Of its Republ-
can hirellngs and tools in the lower
house Of the Legislature, but 1t be-
came q law by the very narrow margin
of one vote. The railroads did not
want such a law as this on our statutes,
and an accommodating Republican,
Judge Thompson of the Twentieth Ju-
diclal district, set it Rslde. An appeal
to the Supreme court Of Kansas, with
honest Dave Martin as Judge, would
mean reversal of this unjust decision,
and so the railroad companies had
honest Judge Martin set aside.
And who has been responsible for
this state Of RffsirsF The voters them
selves who persistently adhere to the
Republican machine owned by the cor
poratlOns. And these corporations
either dictate legislation or the nOml-
nation and election of the courts. VIII

natures, and there now appears upon
the official ballot the ticket designated
as the "Mlddle-oF the.road POpuliBt'
ticket, bearing at its head the names
Of William j. Bryan and Thomas e.
Watson 90 candidates for President
and Vice President, but containing ss
Electors q List Of ten names other and
different than those nominated at your
convention at Abilene.
An effort has been made to show
that these ten Electors represent the
Peoples party In Kansas. The effort
to do this has been carried on from
Republican headquarters, and It's force
Of clerks has been slternated between
their own headquarters and those of
the so-cslled middle OF the road'
headquarters as their services were
needed.
Your committee has at all times
treated Mr.. Watson with the utmost
courtesy and respect. Every effort
was made to make his recent visit to
the State pleasant to him and profit
able to the cause; but, deceived by the
false representations of these emlsga.
ries of Mark Hanna, and relying upon
their assertions that the Populists Of
Kansas were In open revolt against the
action Of your convention at Abilene,
Mr.. Watson ignored your committee
and telegraphed an order to the SeCre-
tary Of State to take his name off your
ticket. The Republican Secretary of
State, Notwithstanding that the name
of Mr.. Watson was not to be voted for,
but only offered as part Of the party
name, prostituted his Office to partisan
uses and refused to certify the tsllot
to the County Clerks Rs required by
law until Mr.. Watson's sworn state
ment could be secured. The Supreme
court has decided that he exceeded his
authority, and Mr.. Watson's name sp-
pears upon our ticket under the regular
party sppellation, PEOPLES PARTY
TICKET, not for the purpose of de.
celVing anyone, but because he is the
regular party nominee and his name
forms a part Of the party sppellstiOn.
Let no voter be deceived. A vote
cast for the Middle of -the-roRd' ticket
will not be counted for either Mr..
Bryan or Mr.. Watson. It is a vote
thrown away. 1t takes a vote away
from Mr.. Bryan and is In effect q halt
vote for Mckinley. This is the pur-
pose Of che Republican managers, and
is the service for which they are bear
ing the expenses Of the "Middle.of-
the road" campaign managers.
In conclusion, we desire to commend
to the voters Of Kansas the patriotic
utterances of Col. s. F. Norton Of Chi.

The Peoples party In National con-
VentlOn at st. Louis nominated as It's
candidates for President and Vice
President, William J. Bryan and
Thomas e. Watson. These candidates
cannot be voted for directly. The
voters only select Electors, and they In
turn select the President and Vice
President.
Two weeks after the st. Louis con.
ventlOn the Peoples party Of Kansas
met In convention at Abilene. Mr..
Bryan was the candidate Of the Dem.
ucrst party as well as the Peoples
party. A proposition was made by
the Democrat party to unite all Of
the friends of silver upon @ common
Electoral ticket 80 ss to insure the vote
OF Kansas in the Electoral college for
Mr.. Bryan. The question then RrOgs
as to how these Electors would vote
for Vice President. The proposition
was made by the conference commit
tee on the part Of the Peoples party
pledging these Electors to cast their
votes for Thomas E. Watson, provided
he secured more Electoral votes outside
Of Kansas than did Mr.. Sewall; but In
the event that Mr.. Sewsll should SO.
cure more Electoral votes outside of
Kansas than Mr.. Watson, that the
said Electors should cast their vote for
Mr.. Sewall In order TO defeat the eleC.
tion of the Republican candidate, Mr..
Hobart.
This proposition was accepted,
and after q full and free discus
sion In the Peoples party conVen.
tlOn, was ratified and adopted by
q unanimous vote. The ten EleC.
tors suggested by the Democrat con-
Vention were then nominated by the
Peoples party convention. They be-
came the candidates of your party by
the voice Of your regularly elected
delegates In convention assembled,
These nominees were certified TO the
Secretary of State as the nominees OF

Electors, and not as members Of the
Peoples party, Rs has been charged,
It became then the duty Of your com
mittee to secure, If possible, the cleo
ton Of the nominees Of your COnVen
tion, and to this end we have worked
diligently.
The Republican party, seeing in this
union Of the silver forces the sure de-
feat Of the Mckinley Electoral ticket
procured the services Of certain 80
called "Mlddle.of .the-road Popullsts'
