almost unanimously ind0rSed and we
believe the entire ticket will be re-
elected.
Barton Beacon (Pop) This action rids
the large cities of the State Of the most
offensive thing that was ever placed
upon our statutes. The law provided
that the Governor of the State should
appoint the police force OF the large
cities, and thus deprive the people of
any voice in the proceedings. II was ad-
verse to the doctrines of the Peoples
party, and 1t was left to Populist con-
vention to abolish 1t, and it was we'll
done.
Fredonla Herald (Pop): The plat
form is the work Of the best and most
advanced element In our citizenship. II
is progressive and refreshing, and after
reading the meaningless platitudes
adopted by the Republican convention,
1t clearly indicates that the Peoples
party is not being dominated by gang
Of pie seekers but Is conscientiously
doing everything that can be done to
better the conditions Of the whole peo-
I pie of this State.
Yates Center Advocate (Pop.): Those
individuals of the State OF Kansas who
hoped against hope during the foggy
days Of winter and the rainy days Of
spring and summer that the fusion
forces would divide and thus allow the
bloodsuckers to again fasten their
clutches upon the commonwealth re-
celved q rude shock last week. The
three conventions were held and COM
plete and equitable cooperation was
agreed upon In every detail.
Abilene Monitor (Pop.): When parties
unite to forward principles and not
simply for division Of the spoils then
there is prospect Of gaining; but when
they fuse for the sole purpose OF doing
ont few petty offices, defeat will stare
them in the face. This year the Dem
octrats and silver Republicans have not
fused with the Peoples party, but have
endorsed the ticket put out by the latter.
This action lends strength and makes
defeat this fall an impossibllity.
Oswego Blade (Pop) The Democrats
in convention at Atchison did right
eous thing when they nominated the
entire list Of Populist State officers
Their love for justice was stronger than
their love for Office. They were unset
fish and patriotic. They should be COM
mended by every Populist paper in the
State and by every individual who has
sense enough to know the difference
between an administration for the peo-
pie and an administration for corpora
tions.
Wakarusa correspondent Of Lawrence
JefTersonian (POp.) pronounce It the
most representative convention l ever
knew. There was no attempt at boss
ism. Every member had the same rights
and privileges accorded as every other
member, however distinguished. There
was no appearance of wire pulling or
trickstering. Every member was al
lowed to talk and vote his convictions
No ones motive was impugned, no trace
Of discourtesy was shown and the most
friendly spirit was exhibited throughout
the session.
Clay Center Dispatch (Pop): The ac-
tion of the Kansas Democracy In re-
nominating the whole Populist State
ticket without even so much as asking
the representation thereon that had
been conceded them as their just due
makes victory at the polls this fall
dOubly sure. It relieves the Democrats
of the taunt of having sold their votes
for spoils and it relieves the POpulists
of the accusation of having traded prin-
ciples for votes AS for the silver Re-
publicans, they and the Populists were
already as one
Winfield Tribune Dem.): Democrats
will vote the ticket nominated at Atchi-
son. There are practically only two
tickets in the field, the Republican and
that nominated by the Democrats and
Populists. lne issue is, shall we go on
and fight the domination and encroach-
ments Of the corporations, or will we
abandon the struggle and allow the cor
porations to take control Of the State
