A Populist Victory.

formation that Senator Harris fight
against The sscrhce Of the govern
ment's interest in the Union Pacific
railroads is won The fight waxed
too hot for the administration. and at
tie instigation of the President, At
torney General McKenna applied for
postponement of The sale Till Dec.
l5-after Congress should meet. Al.
most Immediately the syndicate
which was organized and waiting for
the plum to fall within their grasp
advanced the price IS, 100000 on the
Union Pacific proper without
branches to the tnll amount OF the
governments claim against same, and
plead with the Attorney General to
let the sale thus far proceed as ad-
vertised for Nov. 8, which request
was granted. They did not want a
plum worth S256,OOO, 900, and which
they were about TO get for fourth
that sum, to slide through their
fingers. The dispatch from Wash
ington says the administration was
unable to withstand the searchlight
thrown upon the deal with the Pier
pont Morgan syndicate, that the
President and his Attorney General
tried hard to stem the tide Of adverse
public sentiment that they might
keep their compact with the reor-
ganizalion committee, but the pan
icky conditions 10 OHIO, Maryland
and New York, added to the excolia.
ton of the independent papers East
and West, carried IN day. The dis
patch further states that under the
leadership of Senators Harris OF
Kansas, Morgan Of Alabama and
Others, the problem will be solved to
the financial gain Of the United
States. 1t seems to be generally
conceded that the Government will
now get its full claim on all the Ines.
The one man to whom this victory
can be attributed more than to any
other is Senator Harris. He has
worked increasingly to block this
great steal, and he has finally sue
ceeded. He stated in his spec oh, in
Wellington, on the 10th that there
was absolutely no need for the gov
eminent to be "afraid OF having to
bid the road in, that it was worth far
more than the governments claim"
Sure enough the syndicate raised the
bid sS,0OO,OOO instanter, on only a
portion of the road, when they saw
they had to do it or lose the plum.
In private conversation Senator
Harris said while here that great agi-
tation was being aroused concerning
it; that numerous kilograms were
pouring in upon him for information;
newspapers in San Francisco and
New York were appealing to him for
columns of matter about the sale,
and he had some hopes that maybe
the sentiment would grow strong
enough TO call for postponement.
The VOICE would like to enquire
when Kansas has ever had Senator
that has forced such victory for the
people. In this one instance he has
saved S25, 100000 to the people from
a gang Of plunderers. ingalls,, with
all his strut and pomp, never &C
complished half as much in the
entire eighteen years Of his service.
Harris has done this in the first six
months of his first term. Then let us
not despair. A few more years will
turn our small minority into a ma
jority in the United States Congress.
The leaven is working.

The People VS.. Andy Richards.

The People VS.. Andy Richards.
The present contest over the cleo
tion of county officers has narrowed
down to fight between the honest,
sturdy people Of Sumner county and
Andy Richards and his band of fakes
and plunderers. The decent element
OF the Republican parry is largely
dormant. One of the anti-Richards
Republicans said the other day that
Richards was the only man outside
Of the candidates who was doing
anything for the ticket. Should the
ticket be successful It would be a
Richards victory. He thought there
would be no doubt but that the Pop
ulists could elect their ticket if
they got out 10 the polls, leaving the
inference that there would not be
many tears shed If the Pops did turn
out right well,
Richards wrote an article for his
paper, over his own signature, soon
after the convention, saying that he
voted as delegate in the convention
for every man who was nominate d
except Espy. He breathed out some
mutterings against ESpy, concerning
his deal whereby Wellington's salt
industry was destroyed, but that
seems to have been only a service Of
notice upon Espy that he must come
around and "6x things up" with him,
1t is evident that since that time
someone has "fxed things up" for
ESpy. Some think the water works
company had it in the deal when
they bought Andy bodily over to
their side of the question-irom a
vigorous warfare against the COM
pany to a warm advocacy of their
cause before the city council-that
he was also to clay down" on his
fight against Espy--their superintend-
ent-for commissioner. The water
works company can easily see where
1t may be OF some advantage to them
to have a representative on the
board of county commissioners and
they. very wisely made that condi.
ton of the trade whereby Andy was

newspapers from the championship
of the city's interests to that of the
water company'S interests. All Wei.
lington remembers the transfer and
that his support Of Espy for CON-
missioner is co-incidental Herewith.
Thus it will be seen that the vic.
tory of the Republican ticket this
fall will not .sonly be teralded as a
"death blow" to the Populist party
and the silver cause, but it will be in
reality victory for the band OF
plunderers Of whom Andy Richards
is chief; victory for the dispenser
