GARNETT, KANSAS. NOVEMBER IS, 1898.

several causes The Populist central commit
tee was not equal to the task. Its chairman, a
beete-headed bum, perhaps could cut some
thing of swath i'll a township campaign, but
he ratified around like bean in tin pail IN
his present office. One other cause is the ig-
noring of the party newspapers as political
factor. The Republican papers were all well
supported In many places, new papers were
established. Papers that were ]ukewarm were
braced up. Not paper in the state with Re
publican or independent leanings was neglect
ed-and they stood solidly for the party, and
preached early and late for its success. Many
Populist papers were given the go-by by their
party. Albert Griffin was starved out of Gil
rard. He was too clean and honorable man
to be recognized by Taylor Riddle. A dozen
other Populist papers suspended for lack of sup
port. Others became neutral, seeing no need
for exertion i'll cause that gave them no assist
ance. Some say the apathy of the voters de-
featcu the fusion ticket. What caused this ap
athy? The editors of the party were expected
to give space, without pay, to the stuff sent
out by the committee, and curb their own I'M
aginations. Welsupported newspapers are
the best weapons political party can have

There weie about 2S5,ooo votes poled in
Kansas on Tuesday out of total of about
344 900, which is the full vote of the state. In
the cities and towns, almost the full vote
polled, while the vote in the rural districts
she ws fallng-oif of nearly rs per cent; and
this is tie real cause of the defeat of the fusion
ticket The day was an unfavorablc one for
the Populists. 1t being wet and cold, the boys
were afraid they would catch cod.-Blue

whete abundance should prevail.

All these things we shall witness within the
next two years. The enemy that we have to
meet is ruthless and desperate, and the stake
that he is playing for is the Kingdom of the
world.
But in the end truth will prevail. The peo-
pie will conquer, and some of the fruits of the
victory will be:
I. A paper CURRENCY sufficient to meet the
requirements of commerce, issued by the gov
nent (Which is the people, to the people direct.
?. The free and unlimited coinage OF both
gold and silver at the legal ratio of 10 to l.
3. The ownership and control of the rail-
roads and telegraphs by the government-that
is to say, the people.
a.. The election of all public officers includ-
Ing president,i senator's and judges of all the
courts, by the direct vote of the people.
s. An income tax graded and adjusted SO as
to prohibit the dangerous concentration OF
wealth for all future time.
These are some of the results of the victory
that the people will win. The pendulum of
fate never stops in the Center. 1t swings from
extreme to extreme. The monocratic party has
uncovered its masked batteries and thrown
down the gage of battle The people accept it
and will settle the contest to suit themselves

ELECTION ECHOES.

The reform torces have bright prospect of
success in 1900. The present administration
has set the mark of legislation and enforcement
of law in the interest of Kansas people SO high,
vet how strange the apathy shown, aud how
human-like it is that the state will have to take
another dose of the bad in order that the good
may be appreciated. Vet, this is the case If
the Republicans follow the line of their plat
firm, they will do nothing, and the people
never will endorse do-nothiug administration
Mound City Standard.
-
The change in the political complexion ct
Kansas is not due to Republican conversions.
On the contrary, the Republican vote was
sl,,n 900 less than i'll 1896, and the Popu-
lists made heavy gains i'll the towns and cities.
The election of the Republican ticket is sim-
plv due TO The apathy OF the farmers Instead
OF going to the polls, the farmers remained at
home and the returns froiA the country pre-
cucts show heavy Populis losses. This ara-
thy has no ground for existence. 1t was Great
ed by the failure of the last Legislature to pass
railroad II. The reason the legislature did
not pas. maxinum freight bill was because it
would have been declared unconstitutional. The
average farmer overooks this point; gives the
administration no credit for the numerous behe-
fetal laws it has enacted, and complains because
a railroad bill, unconstitutional or otherwise,
was not passed. This proves that the average
country populst is too exactng, and fails to
give credit where credit is due. The fact that
the Republicans sustained the heaviest losses III
the cities, where they made the hercest CAM
paipus, speaks we'll ior the record OF the Leedy
administration, aud proves that The city voters
endorse il. When the farmers, who are trouo-
led with apathy, look at the matter in the right
light, they will realize that they neglected to
pe,forn an important duty on election day
.ialina Union.
The election is over, with Republican gain
in I,abette county, as shown by the ballots.
While the Peoples party is really stronger than
ever before in the history of the county, yet,
some Of the candidates are defeated, from two
causes, but chiefly because the Popullss did
not turn out aud vote, as they should have
done Scarcely country precinct polled its
vote on the Populist side, while the Republic
ans had every man out that could be possibly
cot to the polls. In the cities, where the
stronghold OF the enemy was conceded, tic
, ote was out almost to q man, while the town
ships had votes enough at home to have carried
this comfy for the Populi.ts by 800 majority at
Tie least calculation. Yet, these stay-at-home
voters are the loudcst howlers, and if every
thing does not go their way, they must be
coaxed or paid TO do their dlty. Many of this
class shoull leave the party if ii does not suit
them and they arc not Wiling to abide by the
will Of the majority; should start party of
their own and call it the kickers' party.-Os-

The Infamous McCleary Banking Bill.

The steady gains which the sound money
cause has made since the repeal of the the sill
er-purchase act i'll 1898 will all be at stake in
the coming congressional elections.
If the house continues under control of a
working majority friendly to the sound money
cause, the country may look to the congress for
a genuine measure of currency reform, such as
the McCleary bill. The gains in the house will
imply corresponding gains i'll the senate when
thirty new members are added to it i'll March,
1899
If OH the other hand, by reason OF apathy,
The next house becomes Demo-Populist as
sembly, the ree-siver agitation will be revived; ;
hatists of every kind will acquire renewed
courage, and all the progress mad in recent
years will be imperied. A feeling of uncer-
tanty will again pcrvade the business and fl
nancial circles. Timid men will become
alarmed, and will open the way for the Blands
Bryans and Townes of 1890 to plunge the
country into another currency campaign, with
all of the evils which that implies so far as ell
terprisc and industrial prosperity is concerned.
The issue is thus clearly defined. Whole
pages could not make it more definite. We APP
peal to men of all parties who uphold the
sound money cause and rightly place it above
all other considerations to go to the polls on
Tuesday, the Sth of November and na',e their
votes and their influence felt for the immortal
principle of public honesty which is now adj
vancing to final victory. We cannot afford to
lose the fruits of the victory won with so much
labor in 1906. We must not return TO the dis
tress and despair which eliminated i'll the pan
ic of 1893. Onward! No compromise with
dishonesty No surrender to ignorance or

The outcome of the Gage bill on banking
and currency and the Ovcrstreet bill of the

reported favorably to the house few days be-
fore adjournment and placed on the caeEdar
to be considered when congress again convenes.
If Republican congress is elected it will pass
this administration bill, the principle provisions
of which will be:
l. Compel the smaller banks to make the
larger banks their redemption agents" at

Between now and the closing days of 1900
there will be fought in this country the: great
est battle in the history of civilization 1t will
be verta,le Arlnageddon, in which the powers
of light and truth will contend against the CON-
bined forces of greed and wrong The cam
paign which has just closed is the tIlst skirmisl
of the great contest. This article is written
before the results Of the election are known;
but we care not what they may be, they cannot.
and will not affect the eventual triumph of the
people.
The bank and monocratic party is preparing
for its final struggle. The issue is the control
of the world. finances and the subsection of
the people to the ruthless sway Of a moneyed
arstocracy. The clandestnc and criminal de-
monetization Of silver in 1873 was the prelimi
nary movement. The infamous McCeary
Banking Bill is The elimination and sum of the
whole villalny. This bill is the product of the.
busy brain of Lyman Gage, secretary of the
treasury--as smooth trickster ever esi
mated usurious interest or fingered bank notes.
But, knowing as he did, that he was regarded
scoundrel, he caused his bill to be introduced
under the cover Of another name, i'll order that
the suspicious OF the people might not be too
quickly aroused. This bill, if enacted into
law, will give few monster banks i'll Europe
and America absolute control of the peoples
money, and the power to crush and ruin every
business and property owner. The Roths-
childs of London and Paris are the head and
soul of the movement, and if successful they
will be masters of the world.
The battle is on, and it is time that the peo-
pie were aroused. The contest will be despcr-
ate and final Before the end comes, thousands
of men buoyant with life and health will be
driven by want and desperation into suicides
graves. There will be 10 blare of trumphets,
no shouting of cohbstants, no thunder of can
mons, but all over the land fresh mounds of
earth will bear mute witness to the saneunary
character of the struggle. Widows weeds and
the emblcms of mourning will hang over our
devoted country like pail. Little children
will cry for bread, and gaunt hunger will stalk
