A. E. Kepford, who succeeds Rev. j. E.

styles his letter of acceptance" to-day. In
it he charges that the present state ad-

tinues:
I'VE know that the present administra-

An invincible argument that the admins

ligious bodies have passed resolutions con-
demning the administration for its failure
to enforce the prohibitory law, but it has
treated them with silent contempt. What
does this mean? The Christian sentiment
of this state elected him, which was
direct reproof and condemnation to the pol
icy of the preceding administration.
I'VE have come to the parting of the

A STATEMENT OF FACTS.
Union Men Who Say Jay n. Nen IL ]
Foe to Union Labor.


The following letter explains itself. It
was sent to the Kansas City Times, and
refused publication in that paper because
it was a complete refutation of the charges
that Jay H Neff, the Republican candidate
for congress, is an enemy to organized la
bor The letter is as follows. and was
printed in the Journal a few weeks ago:
Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 10. 1885,
To the Editor Of the Kansas City Times.
Dear Sir:-In your issue Of September IS
appears an article which we think reflects
unmerited discredit upon ourselves. to say
nothing Of an injustice to Mr.. j. H. Neff.
publisher of the Daily Drovers' Telegram.
1t reflects discredit upon the union men
who have worked, and are now working.
in the employment of Mr. Nefr. The article
in question says: He (Mr. NefD has been
a bitter enemy Of union labor for many
years, and would never hire a union man."
We desire to state, Mr.. Editor, If only in
Justice to ourselves, that union labor has
BEEN and Is now, employed in the Telegram
office. Each of the undersigned Is men,
ber of union. as our signatures show.
There has not for ten Q0 years been other
than union pressmen in the Telegram office,
and there never was any other than union
stereotypers employed.
Furthermore, we know Of our own obser-
walton that the Telegram never asked a
printer. when he applied for work, whether
or not he was a union man. and we stand
ready to give the names of union printers
employed at various times recently. Some
years ago the foreman of the composing
room was a union man. and at one time
since half of the typesetters were union
men.
The statements are made by ourselves,
without the knowledge Of Mr.. Neff. He
will know nothing of them until they ap-
pear. If so be it they do. in your columns.
Very truly. j. E. SECREST.

CONTRACT FAILED TO STICK.
Some Inside History of the P0pulist
Executive Committee Meeting
I'm Chfcago,

Chicago, Oct. 17-(special) Some inside
history of the proceedings of the Populist
national committee meeting, held here
few days ago. leaked out to-day. While
everybody who attended the meeting dis
avowed that Watson's name was under
discussion. yet 1t is anthoritatirely stated
now that the vice presidential mrddle was
thoroughly canvassed. After several hot
messages had passed between the commit
tee and Mr.. Watson. an agreement was
reached whereby Watson was to keep off
the stump during the rest of the cam
paign and remain quiet, and in return he
was 10 be given a portion of the electors
in Kansas and other Western states.
Chairman Jones, of the Democratic COM
mittee, was In the deal. In fact, he made
the suggestion. He had become alarmed
over the growth of dissatisfaction among
the Populists Of the West. The contract
was signed by Mr.. Reed, representing Mr..
Watson, and by the other committeeman,
A conference committee was appointed to
fix things up. but for some reason 1t has
failed to act. Mr.. Watson evidently con-
siders that the contract has been abro-
gated, as he has turned the dogs of war;
loose again, and is causing the Popocrats
more trouble in the West.

SON Fusion Deals.


Topeka, Kas., Oct. 17.-tSpecial) In
speaking about the political situation in
Kansas and in the nation. General Paul
Vandevoort. of Nebraska. said to-day:
Il notice by the papers that the national
executive committee expresses surprise
that Mr.. Reed and loyal members of that
committee understood that Mr. Sewall
would be Withdrawn on condition that Mr..
Bryan was nominated at the st. Louis con-
vention. They knew that was the COM
pact 1t induced part of Georgia, North
Carolina and other Southern states to vote
for Mr.. Bryan. 1t obtained for him over
boo votes and the nomination. 1t was a
huge confidence game and did its work
After the convention, 1t was found that
Mr.. Bryan had never forgiven Mr. Watson
for ridiculing him in a bright and good
humored, witty speech in congress: that
Mr.. Sewall had put up $4,000 to bind the
bargain (without gold standard clause)
and That his nomination was part of the
contract that secured the two-thirds vote
for Bryan. Senator Jones and Governor
Stone never meant to keep faith Sewalps
nomination was the guarantee to the pluto
cratic Democrats that Bryans nomination
did not mean anything. 1t meant that
Tanmany and the ballot box suffers
would fall into line. The notification in
New York was the cover under which deals
were arranged with Tammany and free
trade leaders. 1t is the importers who
favor free trade who secured Tammany's
Endorsement.
kansas and Nebraska both led dele
gates to believe that Sewall would be with
drawn. Weaver pledged it to his delepa
tion. Not a delegate from the South would
have voted for Bryan if that pledge had
not been made. Watson allowed his name
TO be used with that Idea and pledge. He

SHARP PRACTICE CHARGED.
Colonel Holiday and Wilson Keith
Go to Law to Have Their
Certificates Filed.

Topeka, Oct. T.-(Special.) Colonel C.
K. Holiday and Wilson Keith, through
their attorneys, filed mandamus proceed
ings in the supreme court to-day to COM
pei County Clerk Charles McCabe to file
their nomination papers as nominees of the
free silver party for representatives of the
Thirtysixth and Thirty-seventh districts,
respectively. Colonel Holiday and Mr.
Keith are the nominees of the Popocrats
for representatives of these districts and
the free silver people proposed to make
them their nominees also by petition. The
petitions Were not presented to the county
clerk within the time required by law, and
he refused to file them. They claim in the
papers filed in court to-day that on the aft
ernoon of the hast day on which they had
to file their certificates of nomination.
County Clerk McCabe closed his office at
4 o'clock and hid out for the express pur-
pose of preventing them from filing the
same. The court issued an alternative writ
ordering the county clerk to file the GER
tificates or appear on October q to show
cause why he should not.

any such a state of facts. Looping off all
the names that Mr.. Clemens had attempt
ed to prove were Illegal and fraudulent. It
still left over 800 bona fide signatures. The
board also held that the petitions were in
conformity with the law, and that there
was nothing for it to do but to place the
middle-of-the-road ticket on the official
ballot.
The protest filed by steinberger against
the use of Watson's name at the head of
Breidenthal's peoples Party" ticket was
then taken up. The Willis crowd claimed
that inasmuch as the Populists at the Adj
lene convention nominated straight Demo-
cratic electors who would support Sewal
instead of Watson, to hoist Watson's name
at the top of that ticket was simply
scheme of Breidenthal and his gang to
defraud and deceive the great mass or
Populist voters of the state. Among other
evidence produced to bear out the charge
that the fusion electors were for SewaH
and not for Watson, was letter written
by John w. Breidenthal to Mr.. Steinberger
on August % of the present year. That
portion of particular interest follows:
"One of our electors nominated by our
convention in the Sixth district is an out
and out goldbug and will undoubtedly vote
against our entire ticket and is talking
that way all the time. Naturally our people
are not enthusiastic over this sort of crow.
JOHN w. BREIDENTHAL."
The only defense the fusion crowd made
was that the Abilene convention was
Peoples Party, convention and taht they
had a right under the laws TO place the
names of the national nominees of their
party at the head of their ticket. The
board decided that this was regular and
refused to take Watson's name off
This decision has no connection whatever
with the demand by Mr.. Watson that his
name he withdrawn from the ticket, which
demand will not be considered until Mon
day.
BY filing the required papers this after
noon. the midde-of-the-road committee
made the following changes in their elect
oral ticket on account of vacancies: J. F.
Willis. in place of J. p. Perkins, of Col
umbus, who declined; A. NJ Mckay, Of
Ieayenworth, in place of S. II. Coombs, of
Junction City, who. it is said. became in
volved in debt and skipped out; Nathan
Beauchamp, of Almena, Norton county, in
place OF J. w. Doolttle. of Chase county
The committee made a mistake in naming
Doolittle. as no such man exists in Chase
county. 1t is case of mistaken identity.
