There is no friction between
Democrats and Populists. All will
pull together for the election Of our
fnll ticket. In the past whenever
there has been fusion both parties
have kept good faith. 1t will be so
this time. The Democrats have
always been faithfully supported by
Populists and Populists have always
returned the favor. This is no
time now to abandon this policy.
Every candidate on our ticket has
earned the support of every voter
in either party, by his loyalty in the
past to both Democrats and Popu-
lists. Let no report circulated by
the enemy throw you off your guard.
We are all gong to pull together,
Judge Ray and the other Populists
should and will receive the votes of
Democrats and Newt. Caldwell
should have the full support OF the
Populists. In this way only can we
succeed, and in this way only can

The Insane Asylum.

An industrious effect has been made
BY the Republican press,to scandalize
the present administration because OF
the management OF the Topeka in
ne asylum. These asylum sensa-
tions no longer "sensate." The pe0-
pie have come TO regard them as q
mere campaign fake, and they expect
t1em as regularly as a working man
expects his meals. Some discharged
employee or inmate can ALWAYS be
found who will for liberal pay make
an extravagant AFFIDAVIT. But such
things no longer cause the blood to
curdle nor the sense OF indignation to
rise. The reason is that people
no longer believe the stories. And In
that belief they are justified.
The editor Of the VOICE is

have visited the asylum several tunes

One of the favorits campaign
methods with the Republicans this
year is to promise anybody and
everybody anything and everything
in the line of patronage that it is be-
lieved will influence them IN the
least. This method is not only in
operation with reference to Republi-
cans, but pledges are being made to
Democrats and Populists. Not long
ago Frank Grimes, the Republican
nominee for state treasurer, wrote a
letter 10 c. G. Holmsteln, a Demo-
crat, OF Great Bend, promising him
he would give him a clerkship in his
office in the event Of his election, if
he (Mr. Holmstein) would support
him. This is not the first time the
Populists and Democrats have been
approached in this way. The Re.
publican candidates, from governor
down, have promiscuously promised
people OF all parties all kinds Of
places. 1t is doubtful whether any
one of them can tell how many per-
sons he has promised the same job

Simpsons speech is now different
from what it was when he first
started his campaign. 1t is no
wonder that Mr.. Longs patronage
dispensers will try to escape the
crushing weight of Mr.. Simpsons
lmpenetrable logic, but the VOICE
will not allow them to shift its force
SO easily. Mr.. Simpson is making
exactly the same speech now that he
made in the beginning, at Kinsley
and other places. He has not
varied in sentiment one iota. 1t has
been different only as Republican
papers have falsely reported it
differently. The issue was of Mr..
Longs own choosing. Mr.. Simpson

The election of Mr.. Stanley to the
office Of governor means that the
good work begun by Webb McNall
in the insurance department will
end, and that new superintendent,
who will have more consideration
for the feelings Of the insurance
companies, will be appointed. 1t
may mean the installation of a
superintendent whose feelings to.
wards the fraternal orders are the
same as those publicly expressed by
Ex-Governor George T. Anthony
while he was serving in the insurance
department during the Morrill,
administration. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the fraternal organizations
are affording the poor man cheap,
safe and reliable insurance, and that
by so doing the revenue of the big
life insurance companies is corre-
spondingly diminished. This does
not exactly suit Republican polirici-
ans. A reduction of the income Of
these companies means general
reduction OF their contributions to
Republican campaign funds, and
that Mark Hanna's sinews of war
will not be so much in evidence
in 1900 as they were in
1896. Mr.. SANKEY'S superintendent
cannot be depended upon to look
after the matter Of enforcing the
valued policy act as McNall has
done. He is not likely to take the
view that when property owners
property is destroyed the Insurance
companies should be compelled to
pay the full amount of the policy.
Every business man and every man
who owns his home is interested in
the continuation Of McNall's policy
in this matter. They are also in
teres,ed in his effort 10 break up the
pool in insurance rates and thereby
reduce the extortionate charges
made by the companies. In all Of
this work Mr.. McNall has been
opposed by Republican politicians
and newspapers, and it is fair to
presume that if the Republican party
wins his policy will be entirely re-
versed. The people Of Kansas
should consider carefully before they
decide to withdraw their support
from governor who will retain him
in office and stand by him in his
fight.

INGALLS, SHUT OUT.
Republican Managers Do Not Want Him
In the Campaign.

Senator John J. Ingalls, will probably
not make political speech 10 Topeka
the evening before election. The Re-
publican committee has not heard a
word from him since he was informed
that IL would be source Of pleasure
TO Topeka Republicans TO have him
close the state campaign for them
the night before election. n
This can have but one meaning,
and that is that Senator Ingalls, will
net speak In Topeka. The position Of
the Republican state central COM
mittee has probably contributed more
to the silence Of the popular orator
than anything else. At the opening
Of the campaign he announced that
he would enter the campaign, but
the prefer OF his services was never
accepted and Senator ingalls, has
been totally ignored by the state
committee.
Senator ingalls, is in disfavor be-
cause he dared attack Cy Leland,
Mort Albaugb and other Republican
helmsmen. The people Of Kansas
would like to hear him, but the
bosses control, and so there is no al
