EDITOR WHITES ADVERTISEMENT

We are in receipt of a number Oh
marked copies of papers from New
York. New Jersey and the New Eng
land states. containing an edltorlal
screed from the Emporia Gazette.
These papers have been arriving daily
for two weeks. To the number are
added. this morning, the Washington
C,itv Star and the New Haven Demo
GRAFT. the latter containing not a naI-
tering editorial comment on our coll
temporary's ebulition. These papers
ara doubtless transmitted Us by read
ers of the Eagle with the evident eA-
recitation that we will deny or other-
wise by our silence admit the truth OF
tho charges. We shall proceed to dls-
appoint such expectations by neither
DENYING or by holding our peace. HOW
over we will acknowledge that the IL
-ode is I,1rid with electrical flashes ana
z,ozap irritation. Doubtless the object
of Mr.. White was not to hold the MIR
ror I'D to nature, but rather to present
s,1cb a reflection of convex distortions
and concave constructions as would
mako every Kansas kicker, upon recog-
MIXING any Of his own shortcomings IN
the picture. ashamed Of himself. for
one we INDUCED in a square view vi
# in detail and by outline, WITHOUT
finishing. but we refrained from hold
ing il I'D to the view Of others.
The editorial is a scathing criticism
of Kansas calamity, a Kissing sarcasm
with the scorch Of a pea-warmer, espe-
cially in the citation of the facts that
IN spite Of the 10000 babies annually
born in Kansas, last year the state LOST
1000 inhabitants, not counting those
dead and buried in the regular way;
that the state has lost oQdles OF wealth
moi included in busted banks or by de-
faulting cashiers; that the cities OF
Kansas are but insignificant villages
in which there is more street-corner
Jacksonian snorting, by greasy fizzles,
in ragged breeches, than of prosperous
ny COlbi'NIttLS pSSl'iS' -
the editorial abounds in 'less corn and
more hell" for which reason it was,
no doubt, intended to tell on the glib
bering idiots for whom it was so plain
ly written. That the article is proving
a boomerang in. the way of success
will astonish no one.
When Kansas jumps into the arena
every thumb goesup. Sheisequal toany-
thing either in the acrObatic or linguis-
tic lines,-as clown or lofty tumbler,
and when she essays the giddy trapese
she does not care whether her tights
are star-spangled or entirely wanting,
nor whether recognition comes in the
way of plaudits or his.Hs, only that 1T
Is pronounced.

of Democrats in Wichita, and in every
city and county in the state. Perry
is out in a letter in which he says that
he "has seen this so-called fusion dis
organize the party; rob it of 20 per cent
of its votes; prostitute it TO the advance
ment of policies inimical to good gov
eminent; and become d party to the
election Of a disreputable, venal, and
incompetent state administration. This
year the party in the state is pledged
to the support of set of candidates
running on a platform subversive Of
all Democracy"
There is but ON thing for this Demo
cratic element, which holds the cour-
age of its convictions, TO do, and that
is to wait until their party has come
to its senses, and in the meantime to
repudiate all fusion. under whatever
guise, by refusing to sustain the organ
iZatiOn or to vote for a single one Of
its nominees. No self-respecting DEM
ocrat can vote for Jerry Simpson, for
Leedy, or for that matter for Lewell-
ing. Neither of theme were ever DEM
ocrats. Leedy and Lewelling have, in
fact been Republicans. As for Jerry
Simpson, nobody knows what he has
been, or what he really is. If he be-
Heves as he talks he is but dema-
gogue. But whatever he is, he is no
credit to Kansas. The hurt that
Simpson and PETER have been to Kan
sas is beyond estimate. They are both
now hoping to go back to congress by
the help of Democratic votes, as Leedy
and Lewelling are also expecting and
counting upon a solid Democratic sup
port.
With fusion triumphant, nationally,
this fall, the Democratic party will as
surely go out of existence as did the
Wing party in 1856. With the cleo
ton Of Leedy, Simpson and Lewelling
no Democratic organization or party
will be possible in Kansas for the fu-
ture. The proposition is too plainly
true to admit of an agreement. How
ever much the average self-respecting
Democrat may dislike to see the Re
publican party succeed there is but
Ony way for him to help the Demo
cratic party and that is by voting
squarely against every semblance of
fusion as the honorable gentlemen
named above propose to do.

ard who demand a specific Endorsement OF
gold by word shall be given an opportunity
to test the feeling OF the convention. and
for that purpose the financial plank, as re-
ported by the committee, shall be worded
as they wish. A substitute drawn on the
lines already indica9ed-namely. the In
diana platform, emitting the statement Of
any ratio-is then to be offered to the con-
vention and the delegates will thus be
given opportunity TO decide. 1t is assumed.
of course, as part of this programme that
the majority for the revised Indiana plat
form will be so great that there will be no
danger in permitting this little comedy.
Should there be any doubt of it, no chances
will be taken and the plank will come from
the committee just as IL is to be adopted.

Resolution That Will Be Presented
to the Committee.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 12.-There was
conference in Mark Hannas rooms this
morning attended by a number of prom
inent men who met to discuss a financial
plank to be submitted to the resolutions
committee. Chairman Gowdy and Repre-
sentative ]. E. Watson were the only In
diana men present and they held out stren-
uously for the adoption of the Indiana
plank in toto. Senator Proctor, of Ver-
mont. and III. II. Kohlsaat. of Chicago,
championed gold standard, while the In
diana men contended for the view embodied
in their State platform. After a long dis
cussion, in which the Eastern men ex-
pressed their satisfaction with any sound
money plank, plank based in part on the
Indiana one. was drawn up and agreed to
by all those present. Messrs Gowdy and
Watson stated that they were still strong
ly in favor Of the Indiana plank. but in
case it was not generally indorsed. they
would be content with the one adopted at
the conference. This one Is as follows:
I'VE are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our currency
or impair the credit of our country We
are; therefore, opposed to the tree and un-
limited coinage OF silver, except by interna-
tional agreement. and until such agree
ment be obtained, we believe the ex-
lStlng standard SnOulQ be preserved. We
favor the use of silver as currency but TO
the extent only that it's parity with gold
can be maintained. The Republican party
caused the enactment of the law provid-
ing for the resumption of specie paw
ment in 1879. Since then every dollar has
been as good as gold. We favor all meas
money of the United States, whether coin
or paper, at the present standard, the
standard Of the most enlightened nation Of
the earth"
olutions committee, one or two probable
members of which were In the conference.
The principal discussion on it was as to
the insertion of the word gold" between
the words existing and STANDARD" Gold
was finally left out.

has died away Of&all the brave array of
senatorial boilers who six weeks ago
breathed fierce defiance at every turn only
Senator Teller and Senator Dubois remain.

nounce that they are Republicans first and
free-silver men next OF all the delegates
from the free-silvcr States, none would fol-

himself of his right TO occupy Mr.. Teler's
seat the instant he rises TO leave the hall.
Bolting, under such depressing circum-
stances. will be feat without honor or
profit dignity.
The caucus Of the free-silver men has
again been postponed. The truth underly-
ing this caucus is an anxious desire on the
part of the free-siver men to let them
selves down as easily as they can. The final
result viii be that they will demand as

silver generous protection planks for lead
ore and wool. They still adhere to their de-
| termination to join in effort to force the
| adoption of a straight gold platform. The
| Mckinley men have been figuring on the
possible strength OF this curious combina-
| tion. They conceded il total of about $50
votes which is far less than would be dam
gerous. All danger of free silver is, there
| fore, out of the question, and the perform
ance of the silver men will. therefore,
arouse only the interest which attaches to
the origin of the word ''buncombe' On the
| other hand, 1t is fortunate that the hopes
| of the straight-out gold men rest now to
| large degree with Mr.. Platt and the result
of his bargaining. The best the present
| outlook affords is. as pointed out, the un-
mistakabe defeat of the free-silver heresy
and the adoption of platform which, while
| not specially indorsing gold platform, is,
at least. unqualified in its opposition to the
| coinage of free silver at any ratio.

Treasury under ex-President Harrison. is

| Foster has been circulating around among
the delegates, and expresses the belief as
| the result of his observations. that Mr..
Hanna has considerably underestimated the
lures the assertion that Mr.. Hanna may yet
| be forced to concede the word gold"
which he at present finds obnoxious.

Platform May Declare UnequivOcalIy
for the Yellow Metal.


Associated Press Report.
ST. LOUIS. June 12.-The principal de-
velopment of the day has been the agree
ment on a gold-standard plank for the
platform. 1t has been asserted in these
dispatches for several days that this would
be done. but to-day the matter was set
tied so far as it could be in advance of the
convention. The incoming delegates from
every section swelled the sentiment for an
unquivocal declaration for the gold stand
ard and against the free coinage of silver.
There have been arrivals of some prom
inent men. among them being Senator
Quay, Cornelius N. Bliss. Gen. Horace Por-
ter, Hon. Charles Foster ana General Gros-
venor.
1t is generally believed tonight that the
declaration in favor of the gold standard
in the Republican platform win be very
from the East reach ST. Louis they will
find that the close friends OF Major Nc
plank that they can agree ON without hesi-
fancy. Several drafts of platform have
been prepared and IL is now believed that
satisfactory. 1t will declare against the
free coinage of silver unless it should
be be-. brought asa,, about by Interna,
and In this respect IL Is more acceptable
TO the gold men. II will also declare that
the Republicans are against the debase-
ment of the currency, and is therefore in
favor of the present gold standard. The
Republican party Will be given credit for
having brought about the. resumption act,
which has also maintained every dollar at
a parity. whether coin or paper. and that
the standard of money should be as IL al
way has been and is now-equal to that OF
the most enlightened nations of the world
These declarations embody the wishes of
the friends of Major Mckinley and the men
who are now here to approve them.
Ii the resolution should be changed IL will
be by the committee on resolutions or the
