The immediate interest Of the
campaign is conferred in Maine.
Her gubernatorial election a week
hence has caused the Republicans
to drench the state with money and
oratory. If, in the face of all this,
their majority sinks below its normal
amount, they will indeed be in a
quandary. In the election for gov
ernor two years sgo, the Republicans
carried the state by a plurality Of
SS,97s. The Republican candidate
got $1,000 votes; the Democratic,
S0,62l, and the Populist, 1921. In
the presidential election of 1892
Harrison carried the state by barely
$4,000 votes. 1t remains to be seen
to what extent Mr.. Sewall can re-
duce the last Republican plurality Of
nearly $4,000.

Mr.. McKinley's confession 10 the
potters that the gold premium just
after the war was an "added protec-
ton" to American industries, was
certainly a slip Of the tongue. The
VOICE has always maintained that a
silver basis in this country, with gold
at a premium, would be a benef,
rather than a detriment. Mr.. Nc.
Kinley admits it. The report of thi.

Billie Bryan is meeting with some
mighty big receptions among the
farmers and laboring men of York
state, and he is making them some
logical convincing speeches on the
money question. There is not
much doubt now but what New
York state will give Bryan its cleo
toral vote. The Republicans have
a most bitter fight on hands which
Mark Hanna and all the bosses are
unable to straighten out. They
have nominated a very "weak" sis
ter for Governor and everything
seems to be in Bryan's favor. 1t is
growing more probable every day
that Mckinley will be the worst

Candidate Mckinley let himself
down to the level Of an ordinary
ward heeler when he asserted in his
letter Of acceptance that the 'Popu.

Kinley, nor no other man, can show
a Populist declaration of that sort.
On the contrary, they always en-

in his speech Saturday night that,
"Today the silver dollar, worth only
5S cents on the market, is accepted
as 100 cents, not because it bears

Did Jerry Prevaricate?

The Mail of Saturday, under the
heading Gerry Simpson prevari.
Gates" publishes the following:
The Hutchinson News says:
In his speech at Mcpherson last
week Jerry Simpson INDUCED in a
harangue which caught the anarchist
element Of his crowd, and they
cheered his wild utterances to the
echo.
His attack was on John Sherman,
OF course, and of him he said:
"John Sherman, who is at the head
of the Wall street gang, which makes
its profit off the national treasury,
says that he proposes to take the last
shirt off the backs OF the people to
MAINTAIN the gold reserve. | want to
tell you that when John Sherman
gets my shirt it will be when l
shoulder my musket to kill of such
scoundrels as JhOn ShermaL."
Of course no one with any judg-
ment had any other idea than that
Jerry lied about what John Sherman
said, but C. L. Vaughn, the well
known travelling man Of this city, in
order to refute the statement, sent a
letter to John Sherman asking him
if he ever used snch an expression.
To this letter Mr.. Sherman replied
as follows:
Mansfield, O., Aug. "a, lS96.-Mr
G. L. Vaughn, Hutchinson, Kansas,
Dear Sir: Your note Of the 18th is
received. 1t is hardly necessary for
me to contradict the statement OF
Hon. Jerry Simpson, which you quote.
| never made such a remark. The
language quoted by you as used by
Simpson ought to exclude him from
all association with decent people.
Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN"
On the authority of the Topeka
Journal here is what John Sherman
said Congressional Record Of May
90, 1895. Page $685.:

essary resources, let US add a tax on

A conservative and truthful farmer
from one OF the lower townships
called at Populist headquarters Sat-
urday and stated that communica-
ton had gone out from Republican
headquarters in this city, urging the
committeeman Of that township to
do all in his power to keep people
from attending Populist meetings.
He would give no particulars be-
cause, he said, it might get up some
family trouble. Another citizen Of
the same township, equally as con-
sentative and truthful man whose
word is as good as his bond among
his neighbors-came in Monday and
repeated the story, adding that the
letter was fonnd by Populist whose
brother.in-law was the Republican
committeeman. The Populist had
read the letter and given it back to
his brother-in.law. Its purport was
as stated above. 1t is supposable
that the same letter or similar one
was sent to all the committeeman in
the county. Mr.. Lon Tyner, who is
secretary Of the Republican county
central committee, says that no such
letters have gone out over his sigma.
ture and that he will give $40 for a
letter Of that character bearing his
signature.
We hope the facts in this case
may be brought to light and that
they will show that there is some
mistake about the Republican CON-
mittee having resorted to such
methods. Only on Friday the Mail
announced that this was to be "a
campaign whose results will be de-
cided by careful study Of the issues
involved, by the use Of the voters
SOUND common sense and by intelli-
gent thought upon his part" This
statement and the reported letter
will not tally. 1t does not pay to
be intolerant, but there are some
people who seem bull ..Iat way.
Our committeeman inform US that
they had to put up posters two or
three different times at certain
places, announcing Populist meet
ings, while Republican bills hung by
them uDdisturbed. We do not know
who does such little tricks, but in
the name Of decency it ought to be
stopped. Men and boys, let US
start out on a better basis in this
campaign. Let the people know Of
meetings on both sides. We hope
Populists will go to Republican
meetings and that Republicans will
attend Populist meetings. The
truth is what we all want, and WHEN
We get it we will all be better able
to judge Of how we should cast our
ballots for the good Of the country.

To andy.


And so you thought Geo. T. Pitts
wrote that reply to your double COL
umn charge" against the battle
ments of the VOICE. Would this
indicate that you thought that the
editor Of the VOICE was sick and
could not attend to your case, and
therefor the"double charger" Well
let US remind you that the editor of
the VOICE is always loaded (for
bears or buns whether sick or we'll.
Listen! Mr.. Pitts never even so
much as suggested an idea for the
reply to you. Every line and every
word Of that reply was dictated by
the editor Of the VOICE, while he
could neither sit up, stand up or lie
on his side, and was taken down and
written out by Alvah Layne. When
we have to call for help to attend 10
your rantings it will be when we get
sick enough to lose our mind. We
could get plenty Of help if we wanted
it, no doubt, but we havn't felt the
need Of it in attending to your case
yet.
BY the way, come to think of it,
why don't you tell your readers your
veracity was at fault when you said
Naugle could not name single rail
road official who attended your
county convention August 9Th and
that Naugle lied when he said your
delegates were transported to To-
.peka and return by the railroads
free of charge. If you had received
enough votes in the convention to
have became delegate you perhaps
would have known more about it.
But we havn't noticed that you have
burdened your columns by telling
your readers that you were either
mistaken or falsifed purposely.
You published all Of Thurston's
SANDER about Bryan having been in
the pay Of the silver mine owners.
Bryan denied it lntoto, and Thurs
ton retracted, but your readers do
not know anything about it unless
they read other papers. A few
weeks ago the Voice printed float
ing paragraph that some gentleman
had been discharged from the edi-
torial force Of the New York Voice
because he favored free coinage of
silver. A friend of that publication
here wrote the Voice about it and
they denied it. We published the
letter and made due apology for the
inadvertent misstatement, We al
ways try to tell the truth and ever
stand ready to correct any error we
make. Do you? If so get at it.
And again; some time since when
we asked you privately why you did
not answer our query in the paper,
"lf the government can't make
money, who can," you said you
would take up the finance question
as embodied in the platforms and
discuss the differences with US. We
told you we would be ready for the
battle Immediately after the state
convention provided we were not
called away in the state campaign.
We were not called. We are here.
We have not felt better in a year.
Come on with your shot and shell.
Begin where you please. Perhaps
you can answer. our query first, or
show US, as We understand you can,
that silver has never been demone-
tized at all?
Don't forget to raise few techni-
calities, and say, andy, when you
get cornered and want to vent your
pent up feeling, a few jibes at our
religion, and religion in general,
would not be amiss. This will re-
lieve you and do US no harm.
Come on, andy, come onl

An odd development Of the Nc
Kinley campaign is that speakers
and writer's seem to be drifting, con-
sciously or not, into the concession
that free coinage will certainly raise
the price Of farm products. They
are devoting their efforts to showing
that the wage earners OF the cities
and railroads have to pay the grasp
ing farmer two prices for everything
they eat. They have thrown the
farmer completely over, letting him
90, bag and baggage, into the Bryan
fold and hurting after him the cpl
thets of anarchist and repudiator.
The farmers Of this country are a
voting factor amply able to deter
mine the election, and we wonder if
they will vote against their own
interests in order that the city labor
CT or railroad man may get his sup
plies at figure below the cost Of
production.

JOHN SHERMAN,

In an article advocating silver
Ex-Governor Fishback has this: "a
witty Jew once said in my presence
that Moses got up the first corner on
beef of which history gives an &C.
count. He bought up all the beef
cattle and then passed law forbid
ding the people to use swine's flesh,
and made millions out Of the rise on
beef. Even a ten-year-old boy
ought TO see that under such a law
beef would go up and bacon 90
down. Not that the law directly
fixes the value of either, but by de-
stroying the demand for one and
increasing the demand for the other.
While law cannot fix values it can
create or destroy either demand or
supply.
