In the present legislature a most serious
objection to fusion In any form. The pres-
ent Demo-Pop legislature promises TO be
the most extravagant the territory has ever
had; and when they have robbedthe people
blind each political party can dodge the re-
sponsibility by shouldering It upon the
other. The Democrats are already charg-
ing II up to the wild-eyed, iong-haIred Pop
ulists and the Populists are charging IT up
to the credit Of imported Democratic
thieves and boodlers. while as a matter OF
fac. there is not a whits difference between
the two. and 30 far as legislators are con-
cerned the majority Of them are IN IT for
what they can make out of the job. They
have little property interest in the territory,
no political future. simply accidents of the
hour, with no party organization behind
them to be responsible for their conduct
whether good or bad. Fusion disgracel
and almost ruined Kansas financially, and
It Will ruin Oklahoma II allowed to extend
beyond a single term OF the legislature.
But thank God the good sense Of the peo-
pie OF Oklahoma viii not allow II to 1--we
