can campaign at Lawrence on the
Arst,Of this month.
He admitted the PJpulists had
passed law preventing blackliSting
of employees by employers, one to
prohibit determinations against per-
sons belonging to labor organizations,
one requiring payment OF wages In
lawful money and one protecting
mOtOrneers.
He admits the justness OF those
laws but says the number benefited IS
small and gives that as an illustra'
tiou of POpulist legislation.
He ignores the redemption law,
passed for the benefit OF the land
owner. The banking law in the in.
terest of depositors. The stockyards
law in the interest OfstOckmen. The
school textbook law in the interest OF
patrons of public schools. The anti
trust lawiih the interest Of all persons
not members of a trust. The fee and
salary law in the interest of the tax
payer. The corrupt practice act and
Alstr liam ballot law in the interest
of tairand honest elections, and many,
many other beneficial measures
passed by the Populists that might be
mentioned.
He then says "The Republican
party gave the most beneficial home
stead exemption laws to be fount
anywhere" What a willful false
hood to be made by an attorney
The homestead exemption is a con
stitutional provision adopted by
vote of the people OF Kansas in 1859
and no political party is entitled tt
credit for the same.
The Republican party never en-
larged the homestead exemption ant
could not take it away from the peO
pie, as the constitution can only b
amended by a vote Of the people
But in 1872 Republican legislator
with the approval Of a Republica
governor so amended the laws Of thl
state as to make it possible for
mortgage to steal the homestead:
That law allowed homestead TO b
sold without appraisement and with
out redemption, and the result
that Republican legislation was, tina
after the homesteads were sacrifice
the judgments remained to haras
the unfortunate hOmesteader fC
perhaps the remainder Of his life,
Populists attempted toremedy ths
evil, but were always met by tt
most bitter opposition from the Re
pGblican members of the lesislatur
hut in 1893 they succeeded In paSsin
ia compromise measure, giving eigl
teen months for redemption. tt
Populists hoped the law would app
ito the mortgages previously execute
and the supreme court of the sta
consisting Of two Republicans an
one P0pulist judge sustained tht
view, but the Uuited States supren
eourt reversed the decision and tn
materially lessened the beneficial r
suits to the homesteader. Howeve
that law has already been the mea
of saving many hOmesteads and tho
sands OF dollars to citizens of SUNNI
county and in the future will app
to all mortgages and will be of i
estimable value TO the people of T.
state.
Again, he gives the Republica
credit for law prohibiting trus
This is another mistake, the bill "

votes in the senate, only six Of viii

Is it. possible the would bs governor
iDagines the Republican party has a
pltent right on the teachings OF Jesus
Christ and the Scriptures?
He credits his party with the law
requiring employers to give their
employees time to vote. Wrong
again! That is a provision OF the
Australian ballot law, a Populist
measure, passed In 1893, receiving In
the senate 20 votes, only 3of which
were Republican; and in the house
upon motion made by a Republican
to indefinitely postpone the bill,
only ten out OF the sixty-seven Re-
publican members voted 10 favor Of
the bill.
He criticizes the Populists for not
enacting amaximum freight rate law.
II a maximum freight rate was right,
he should condemn the Republican
members OF the legislature for always
being opposed to il. lit was wrong
he should not condemn the POpulists
for failing to pass it.
The Republicans also promised the
people relief by railroad legislation,
in their platform Of 1892, but have
never attempted to redeem that
pledge, and in fact have always
opposed railroad legislation 10 the in'
terest Of the people. And in thsil
present platform they promise nc
relief from railroad extortion anG
discrimination or from any OF the
other evils that now oppress the
people.
The 2opulists In both state anC
county platforms promise a freight
rate law, giving to board Of raj
road commissioners to be elected b!
the people, the power to fix rates ant
classify railway freights.
The Republican party ir their stat
platform Of 1890 promised the peOpl
a school text book law, yet in spit,
of that pledge the Republican mem
) bers of the legislature have in eacl
session opposed such legislation.
In 1897, the present text book Law
: was enacted receiving 80 votes in tn

: only five Isl of which were Republi

ELECTION SUMMARY
CHANGES WROUGHT BY THE
LATEST RETURNS.
NEBRASKA GOES FUSION
Both Houses of Congress Republican
by Considerable Majorities- SEQ
field Carries Wisconsin by More
Than 36,0O0-Results in all the
States of the Union.

The latest returns from the recent
earlier reports. The United States
senate has a straight republican ma
jority of 20 or more while the repub-
lican majority in the house is reduced
from IL to about 13 and probably less.
The senate after March 4, 1899, will
probably stand: Republicans, "a; dem
ocrats, %; populists, 4; silver republi-
cans, f. The senate at present has 43
republicans, "a democrats, pOpulists
and silver republicans, an opposition
majority of g. The republicans gan
IL senators.
A very sensational change from first
reports is that the fusiOnists hold Ne
braska by $500, though the republic
cans get the legislature. Another re-
markable result is that. while John
Lind, DEM, is elected governor of Min
nesota by 10000 or more, the rest of
the state ticket goes in. SEQ
fields majority in Wisconsin is about
$4,000 or 37,000,-the rest of his ticket
5000 more. The delegation in CON
gress is, as now, solidly republican.
There will be only % democrats IN
both houses Of the legislature, the re-
publicans having ITO. The results
otherwise may be thus summarized:
The results in the various states,
compared with the pluralities for Nc
Kinley or Bryan in 1896, when the last
previous elections by a large number
of states were held, are summarized
as follows:
California-Henry T. Gage, repub
lican, elected governor by 10000 plu
rality. McKinley's plurality in 1896,
2,797.
Colorado.-Charles S. Thomas, fu-
sionist, elected governor by $4,000 plu
rality. Bryan's majority, 134,792.
Delaware.-Lewis H. Ball, republi-
can, elected state treasurer by 1900
