Breidenthal has announced himself
a candidate for the United States
Senate. He's not all orator, but John
Breidenthal is the most capable man
who has yet flOated to the top in the
Populist party.-OxfOrd Register.
The VOICE will accept the kind
words said of John Briedenthal
above as true, with the prediction
that after he has served six years in
the United States Senate in the face
Of the SCorn and derision and ridi-
cule Of the minions of wealth and
their thousands of imitators he will
have become as much of a chest
nut q as Republican papers esteem
Pr ,ttef. Senator PETER is an able
man. Hisproductions are scholarly
and conclusive. Future generations
will honor him as all true reformers
do now. We are not saying that
John Briedenthal would not develop
fully as much capacity; on the con-
trary he is man of wonderful re.
sources; and Judge Dennison is like
wise man of great power; but all
will encounter the same rocky high
way that Senator PETER has travelled.

We commend the following par
agraph from the Kansas Civ
Journal to the editor of the Monitor
Press who thinks the scheme to re.
tire the ereenbacks will receive the
"horse laugh" from a Republican
congress:
The Chicago Record has gathered
together opinions from a large number
OF American tinanciers as to the flnan.
clal course to be pursued by the in
coming administration. Upon only
one thing do all these agree. and
that is the immediate retirement Of
the greenbacks. 1t seems TO be the
general opinion that these greenbacks
should be called in by the issuance OF
gold bonds hearing a low rate of in.
terest, and that the banks should be
permitted to issue notes to the fulI
amount OF these bonds in Their
possession, which would prevent any
contraction of the currency.

1t is said that Grover Cleveland

We ask all our Republican friends
to stick pin here and watch the
results. The greenbacks will be re-
tired and the Republicans will do it.
We anticipate that the present con-
greSs will turn the job over to the
Republicans. The scheme will not
get the "horse-laugh" 1t will be
done, and after it is done the
Monitor-Press will be one of the
first to endorse it and to condemn
all who 'pandered to the Populists"
by opposing it. The necessity for
it has already been created under
the workings of the gold standard.

State Printer.

The editor of the VOICE is a can
didate for state printer. We have
entered the race at the solicitation
of several friends in different parts
of the state and in the same spirit
that Charles Dickens attributed to
his man Barkis. We lay no claim to
the office except upon the basis of
merit We want to see this admin
lstratlon choose the very best men
in TIE state to occupy the various
posts of honor and emolument and if
the editor of the VOICE is lacking in
any essential qualification we hope
the Legislature will decide against US
and choose a more abler" man.
There will be no sore spots on
ps. We are not built that way.
We are in this movement because
We have firm, deep convictions and
failure to receive political pre-
ferment will not swerve US from duty
IN the least.
We shall feel very thankful to
members of the legislature for their
support and believe that we can
safely assure them of a hearty
united endorsement from our home
people, which is the proudest laurel
we shall ever wear. We have no
factions in Sumner county. We are
all enthusiastic for the success of
reform principles which accounts
for our immense majority.

The worst gang of regulators in this

don the Anthony branch, and aunul

Shall We Surrender?

The following from the Caldwell
News should not be allowed to pas
unchallenged:
*"The trouble about renewing mort
cages has already commenced. ]. X
Moore, prominent Popuhst of Wei
llngton township, is trying 70 renew
but cannOt. Foreclosures are begin
ming all over the state, and the fiddle
Is TO pay for the POpulist Dance
The News would have the people
believe that mortgage foreclosure
nave just commenced, all on account
OF the Pops. The records of Sum.
ner county show thai during the foul
years from 1888 to 1892 over SOC
foreclosure cases were filed. This
was under the famed" prosperous(? ?
reign of Benjamin Harrison and
while the Republicans still had full
possession of Kansas. On Novem-
Der 18th, 1889, the firm OF Lawrence
u Richards filed 81 foreclosure cases,
and on December %, 1889, the same
hrm filed 81 foreclosure cases in this
county. During the years 1889 and
1890, Lawrence & Richards filed
three thousand foreclosure cases in
the state Of Kansas.
Does it really look as if foreclosure
cases had just begun?
Then you remember that Repub-
licans told us in 1894 that if we
would elect Morrill, We would have
no trouble in getting loans. The
people accepted the proposition and
elected Morrill,. Did the loans come?
Do you think, Bro. Simons, that you
fellows can play the people of Kan
saS and OF Sumner county for suck
erS" any longer2
But suppose Kansas is boycotted
and denied financial favors. Are we
made of the stuff that will cringe to
tyrants and surrender the constitu-
tlonal sovereignty pledged to us by
our forefathers at such fearful cost
submit to punishment for exercising
that independent function of sover.
relgnty which every good citizen
should esteem his duty to exercise?
No; you have placed an improper
estimate on the metal of the people
OF Kansas and the West. We read
that patriots of old whom we all re.
we're pledged their honor, their lives
and theft fortunes to secure to us the
very privilege We are now coolly ask
ed to surrender. We believe the peo.
pie Of Kansas will hurl back this
gnominouS threat in the very teeth
Of those who offer it and say to them
that ii the price OF their money is
our honor and our patriotism they
can keep their fifty lucre and we will
retain our honor and self respect.
1t will not be the first time that pa.
riots have suffered for the sake off
liberty.
Shame on any Kansan who would
suggest or insinuate any other course!
u. X. Moore authorizes the VOICE
TO state that he has not applied
Tor a new loan as reported by the
Caldwell News, that he has therefore
not been refused said loan: that fore.
closure proceedings have not been
commenced against his place; that his
mortgage does not fall due until next
september; that his interest is now
PAID s23 ahead and that the party who
holds his mortgage has promise to re-
new same at | per cent less interest
than the last mortgage. The News
may not know that the election is over
and that it is time to resort to the
truth again. 1t will pardon the VOICE
for this enlightenment.

The Northwest Has 1000 Fewer Pension.
s ers Than . Year Ago. q
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 1.-THE final re-
ports Of payments for the last quarter
at the Milwaukee agency, just made,
contain some interesting figures. The
total disbursed to pensioners during the
quarter from this Office, which covers
the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and
both Dakotas, was $l,7l2,1 41, distribu-
ted among 49,777 pensioners, who are
now scattered all over the United
States, many Of them having removed
from this district, but net having made
q transfer Of their pension district. 4
With each succeeding pension pay
ment the fact becomes more and more
apparent that the survivors of the re-
bellion are passing away more rapidly
than new names for pensions are being
added, Notwithstanding the recent laws
which brought in large number Of
pensioners. A year ago the lists in the
Milwaukee agency exceeded $4,000.
Today the highest number is 49,777.
