A KANSAS FUSION DEAL.

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. THE Demo-
Gratis and Popu1ists of Kansas have prac-
tically effected fusion of interest in the
coming election. Since Tuesday last the
Democratic convention here has waited
upon the Populists at Abilene. The Dem
ocrats held two sessions yesterday. The
morning session was adjourned. until
evening, the Populists at Abilene having
during that time taken no action as to the
proposed fusion. When the Democrats
reassembled last evening, word was re-
ceived from the ambassadors at Abilene
that the Populists had accepted the ticket
recommended by the Democrats for cleo
tors. The ticket which was agreed upon
last Tuesday, was then formally placed
in nomination. The Dem ocrats then took
up the question of a state ticket, and
there being practically no opposition, the
Populfst nominee for governor, State Sen
ator ]. w. Leedy, was nominated by ac-
clamation. The other Populist nominees,
Frank Doster for chief justice, Rsv. J. D.
Botkin for congressman at large and A.
M. Harvey for lieutenant governor were
as cheerfully nominated.
But here the Democrats were again
forced to wait upon the convention at
Abilene, and at 1890 o'clock no further
nominations having been reported from
the Populists. the convention took re-
cess until 10 o'clock this morning, when
the other Populist nominees will un-
doubtedly be endorsed.
The convention completed it's ticket at
2:3O last night and then wrangled until

MUCH DISSATISFIED.

Editor Representative:
1t seems that the Democratic party in
this state is attempting to swallow the
Populists a la St. Louis and here too, a
great many Populists are voluntarily
crawling into the toothless jaws 1t saw
ors little ''porkish" when party, prac-
tically dead so far as this state is con-
cerned, wishes to fuse with the Popu-
lists who have three times as many votes
and then allow them only two places on
the state ticket.
Let us nominate straight middle-of-
the-road ticket, with DR.. Ames or DR.
Johnson at the head. Either of these NJ
DIS are worth more than fifty Linds.
We hope that Mr.. Donnelly will moi
sell his controlling interest in the Repre-
sentative; the hearts of the people are
with him, and just now they are very
indignant over the snub he received al
st. Louis from his triends(?) who repre-.
sented the people.
1t is with a haevy heart that we sun.
port Bryan, but this we must do in order
to beat the gold-plated tin god.

White LEAD!
each. Glidden Pattern BARB WIRE, 1888 p
will send you our GROCERY PRICE LIS

Donnelly is wrong 1t is but fair to say that
his error is am honest one. It at least
comes with bad grace from such men as
Owen to question his integrity or to i'm
pugn his motives.
This much, at least, can be said: DON
nelly, as the reward for years Of patient
toll and the application of talents that
would have raised q better cause to a
higher plane, is repudiated, spurned and
spit upon, while Owen, as the price Of a
few.minutes in conference with the cheap
ccnspirators at st. Louis, is given the
Populist nomination and the Democratic
endorsement for congress In a district
where the silver men claim their great
est strength. Without any 'ifs" or
might have-beens" or 'dt-is-suspect-
eds" the plain fact is chat Owen was re-
warded out Of all proportion to any serv-
Zee he ever rendered for his share in the
sacrifice of Populist principles, while
DonneNy, for advocating those principles,
is given the cold shoulder Of oeneure.
Men 40 not usually receive rewards for
nothing, and the natural assumption Is
that the very substantial favors which
have been showered upon Owen are the
reward for his scheming to turn Donnel-
ly down, that he, with Bryan and SeWall,
might profit by his fall, and that just that
much of Democracy might be substituted
for an equal amount of Populism.
There can be but one Of two conclusions
as a satisfactory explanation Of the
events at St. Louis: It must be that in
the Populist party, as elsewhere, there is
Truth forever on the scahold, wrong
forever on the throne" or else the Pop
uust party has deliberately concluded
that it's corporate existence is no longer
essential to the prosperity and welfare of
the class which has kept 1t in existence
for the past four years. and with premed-
itation and due usefulness has merged
it into the still newer and even more per-
nicious party which was organized under
the saturnine auspices Of Benjamin Till
man and John P. Altgeld at Chicago.
If it is the deliberate judgment Of the
leaders Of the Populist party that the
cause of humanity will be best served by
the final and complete ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Of their party, that is matter which will
affect the pubic less than it will the men
who have given years Of their life to ita
organizations; but, whatever the result,
there can be but one sentiment as to the
part that has been played by Owen and
the other Iscariots who betrayed Donnel-
ly with a kiss and stabbed him when he
was at his devotions Treason has done
Its worst, and, when Donnelly retires to
his library, it will be with the sting Of a
serpent's tooth Ia his soul and a Parthian
arrow in his vitals.-St. Paul Dispatch

WHAT ONE MAN THINKS.

Editor Representative:
The shores of time are strewn with the
wrecks Of political aspirants who deserved
better treatment from their party. From
Ar.stides to Mr.. Donnelly men are numer-
Gus who received nothing but "kicks" in
pay for a lifelong devotion on behalf of
reform.
"a falcon towering in his pride of place
Was by a mous.ng owl, hawked at and
killed."
Because Mr. Donnelley wouldn't truck!e
and beg for the suffrage of voters whose
political support he has earned ten times
over in as many years, he has been turned
down every time he appeared before the
people.
That man with the executive talent Of
Tiferius or Frederick the Great, the po-
litical sagacity Of Jefferson and the great
Intellectual force of Baron, should be
downed, to drudgery in newspaper office
telling terribly" as Emerson puts it,
when he should be governor Of the state, Is
a disgrace to the voters Of Minnesota.
II he had more of the cunning of the
politician and less of the wisdom Of the
statesman he would be more successful in
politics "The wise man." said Atticus
keeps out of politics"
To be Gin it" he must fawn and crinee
and toady to the wire-pu!ler, the ward
heller and the delegate from the Steenth
ward, and every other parasite on the body
polite. Sir Ashley Cooper, once a candi-
date for some local Office, went to his gro
GERS one evening to ask his support at thu
polls. When that worthy saw him he came
forward saying "Well sir, I suppose you
want my assistance at this momentous
period of your career" Sir Ashley, who
hated sham in all it's forms, replied II want
nothing of the kind sir, want penny's
worth O. tea, come look sharp, and do it
up"
We should be sorry to see Mr.. Donnelly
leave the Peoples Party, but II such action
would produce another Caesars Column
the world would perhaps be the gamer
We blame him not for refusing to toll
desperately for food to be laid on his tomb
after death. James McClosky.

THE sHRlvELLED LITTLE MONSTERS"
Alta Vista. Mo.

Should They Have Chance to Sell Out the
Movement.
Editor Representative:
] can hardly bring myself to speak OF
the covering and shrivelled little mon
sters who sought to put indignity upon
you at st. Louis. What other would you
have them do or be? They are the mere
lice that afflict the body Of all great I'M
dertakings. In daily life they may pre-
sent themselves in some other guise to
those whose perceptions are blunted by
the edge Of vice or ignorance. But Of
their origin or their mission on this earth
no gentleman who has ever been in touch
with politics can have doubt.
Among the Irish people the parents Of
misshapen or diseased infants reconcile
themselves to their Affections by the de-
fusion that the child has been changed by
the fairies either at birth or in the cra-
die. The average man looking upon such
wretches as these may be pardoned If, like
the Irish peasant, he believe that some
transformation has taken place and that
the presiding genius in the uncanny re-
gions whence they have come must have
given them their fair extremes in order
to mislead human creatures like them
selves into the belief that they are fellow
beings.
You surely would not turn this new
movement over to the government Of
such as they. You would not give them
the only opportunity for which they are
in politics, Of purchase and sale Of their
opinions and their adherents 1t would
not only be folly on your part; it would
be crime. Saved from your Intervention
they can soon find their way to the high
| ocf ma rHo With oVyn
they will remain inculpable, doing little
worse than destroying the self-respect of
many decent man who continues allied
with them.
There are, know, thousands Of men
like myself who have no particular inter-
est in or care about politics who would
like to appeal to you not to retire at this
time. You have done most of any indi-
vidual man to call this new movement
into being; you have fed the hopes of
these who believed that some day the
forces OF American politics might pre-
sent themselves to the mind Of Guilt
waited man as something other than a
mere stampede of Wild asses. II men
as brave and resourceful as you are final
ly to be suppressed into silence and mac
ticn, it is time that those who are not in
search of Office or endowment through
politics should combine their attention
entirely to their more immediate con-
Germs and let the savage rites Of the wor-
shippers of mammon go on undisturbed.
Then some day we or our children will
be confronted by bloody revolution; and
humanity will be all the better, in my
opinion, for the experience. Yours very
sincerely, M. j. Costello.

INGRATITUDE.
HOW PARTIES REWARD.

Human ingratitude never reached q
profounder depth, selfish greed never
made more revolving stand. duplicity
and cunning never mastered and sub
dued honesty and unselhshness more
completely than when In the convention
OF the Democratic wing Of the Populist
party at st. Louis the state organization
Of that party insulted, Inundated and de-
throned Ignatius DonneAy, it's founder,
defender and main bulwark, for the puny
one-idea politician who has since been
nominated for congress In the Fifth dis
trfct and elevated to leadership which
he has never earned. Mr.. Donnelly went
to st. Louis as the acknowledged leader
of the Populist party Of this state, posi-
ton to which he was elevated by the voice
and by the common consent of the people
whom he had educated to his way OF
thinking. He was the ideal, If net the
idol, Of the masses Of the Populists in this
state and whatever of prominence Mr..
Owen has achieved is but shadow re-
fected from the more substantial popu-
larity and deep learning Of Mr.. Donnelly.
The Populists Of the state spoke their
real sentiments when they demanded the
presentation of the name Of Donnelly for
the presidential nomination and when
Mr.. Owen, aided by a few Of the smaller
twinklers in the Populist armament, took
advantage Of the engagement Of Donneily
in greater affairs and refusing to be gov
erned by instructions, schemed for the
humiliation Of their leader and sold him
for pitiful morsel Of promised pap, they
were guilty Of as rank piece Of treason
as ever was conceived or executed even
in the realm Of intrigue which the Popu-
lists affect to despise. In order that sus-
p!cion might be averted from their own
misdeeds and their own perfidy the con-
spirators raised the cry that money was
being used to defeat the nomination Of
Bryan, when as a matter of fact the only
nam outside Of the Populist party who
exercised any influence over the conven-
ton was the chairman of the Democratic
committee and the personal custodian of
Mr.. Bryan's candidacy.
Whatever may be the fallacy of Mr.
Donnslly's political creed, the attribute
of personal honesty has always been con-
coded him by even his political oppo-
nents, and however he may have vaccil-
lated in his personal views he has been
seriously, and deeply in earnest, consist
ent and determinedly loyal to the party
which he has so long championed, and
self-sacrif1cing in his zeal for the cause
Of the farmers and the laboring classes
That his views, as to what is the best and
wisest course to secure to these classes
their respective rights, have been at va

right, is in no way to his discredit. The
philosophers and wise men of all ages

!. "A NARROWING CIRCLE.

John Clark Ridpath's View of the
Governing Power of the Country.
Indianapolis, Ind. Aug. 4.-Dr. John
Clark Ridpath, the well-known scholar.
historian and writer, who was unanimous
~ selected by the Democrats of the Fifth
district as their candidate for congress at
Their convention in Brazil, July 20, was
visited at his home in Greencastle and
asked for an expression upon his nominal
ton and the monetary question. He said:
According to my way of thinking our
government has been steadily drifting
away from the people and getting into the
power OF special interests. The circle Of
government has narrowed and narrowed,
till 1t appears to me the height of absurd
ity to call 1t any longer "a government Of
the peop-e, for the people and by the peo-
ple.' want to see this process completely
reversed
Among the methods as It seems to mo
by which the government Is said to be re-
covered by the people is, first Of all, as the
matter now stands, the restoration of our
currency. We want our currency system
put back precisely where it was under the
statute and constitution for the first
eighty one years OF our existence as q
nation. Our statutory bimetallic system
of currency was taken from us in 1873 by
a process which do not care to character
ize in fitting terms. Now we propose to
have it back again.
"Not single dictionary or encyclope-
dia IN the English language before the year
1878 ever defined dollar in any terms other
than of silver. In that year the admins
traitors of the estate Of Noah Webster, de-
ceased, cut the plates Of our standard lex
icon and inserted new definition that had
become necessary in order to throw q
penumbra OF nationality around the inter-
national gold conspiracy.
"The way to obviate the further dsas-
trous effects of this International gold con-
spiracy is to stop it. We want the system
of b.metallism restored In this country.
B:metallism means the option Of the debt
or to pay in either Of two statutory coins,
according to his own convenience and ac-
cording to the contract. This option freely
granted, the commercial parity of the two
money metals will! be speedily reached, nor
can such parity ever be seriously disturbed
again as long as the unimpeded option of
the debtor to.pay in one metal or the other
shall be conceded by law and the terms Of
the contract.
what do we propose to accomplish by
free coinage? We propose to do just this
| thing-viz.: To break the corner on gold,
and reduce the exaggerated purchasing
power of that metal to its normal stand
ard. Be assured there will be no further
talk of 5O-cent dollar when the CONNER
cial parity of the two money metals shall
be reached. Every well-informed person
must know that the present disparity Of
the two uncoined metals Is but the index
OF the extent to which gold has been bulled
