The Pig Alley Prevaricator has
tried its hand several times during
the past week to make Naugle out
liar. It's really useless to consume
space refuting his twaddle. There
were $50 delegates present at the
Populist county convention from all
parts Of Sumner comfy and they
know full well what proceedings were
had at that convention without con-
sulting the VOICE or any other news
paper. We are willing to rest our
case with these delegates.
The resolution to indorse Gov
ernor Leedy was offered. A motion
to adopt and add to the resolutions
already read was made and seconded.
Then followed the motion to table
which was also seconded, and after
some squirming by Chairman Lambe
who protested that he did not think
it fair to shut the matter off that
way, the motion was put. The
writer having made the motion cried
"aye" with scores of others and was
surprised the next moment to hear
the chairman announce that the
resolution had been adopted. A
gentleman at our elbow said to US
laughingly, "why you voted against
your motion"
1t did really seem so, and we
arose at once and appealed to the
chair that the motion to table always
preceded. He refused to alter his
declaration and We called for a
division. He ruled this out of order
with the remark that he would as
soon sit down on Judge Naugle as
anybody else" There was con-
siderable confusion and the chair
said in the midst Of it, "all those in
favor of tabling the resolution will
say aye" Scarcely half the con-
vention knew what was being voted
upon. There was storm of
ayes. Then the negative was put
and it was difficult to tell which had
carried but the chair of course
declared it lost. Mr.. Lambe stated
afterwards that he wanted the reso
luton passed in order that it might
not go out that he was sore because
OF his disappointment in the Olathe
flash in the pan.
The editor of the VOICE cares
nothing for the rebuff given him in
the convention. We thought the
chairman too arbitrary, and so did
the convention think so, but being
familiar with Bro. Lambe's bluff
manner We took no offense. We
carry no ill-will toward him-eyen
if We had, We would have thrown il
all overheard when he came around
and begged our pardon the same
evening.
Now these are the facts in detail
and we appeal to every delegate
present as to their exact truth. The
report in the Voice was skeletonized
last week from the Daily Journals
report, which, as the Prevaricatol
well knows, was already in type
We corrected the errors in thi.
report and used it just as we formerl,
used the Daily Mail reports wher
that sheet was printed in the VoIcE
Office. ANY effort to connect tn,
Journal and VOICE newspapers il
twaddle.
We know nothing about how tn,
matter got into the Topeka ant
Kansas City papers. We do know
that some ofthe Kansas City paper
telegraphed here for report of tn
convention. We presume they 90
it, and the matter therefore mus
have got into the papers in tn,
regular and usual way. The cyni
cal, suspicious eyes of the editor o
the Prevaricator can see nothin,
but dark, damnable conspiracy il
every event that transpires. W,
cannot help him out of his trouble
Death alone will relieve him
