POLITICS OF TO-DAY.
HON. ]. 3. BURTON TALKS OF
THE SITUATION.
He Says the Next Democratic Ma
tional Convention Will Be an Or.
ganized Grumbls Senator Baker
and the "Ins;" Burton and the
Outs"

Hon. j. R. Burton came in last
Saturday from Galena where he has
been busy with his mining enter
prises. He is getting short rest but
goes to Paola for an address on the
Fourth.
The REFLECTOR asked him for an
expression on the political situation
in Kansas. He said:
"Fusion has borne in the ranks OF
the Populists and Democrats in this
state its legitimate fruit, to-wit; a
mere scramble for office What
would an old-fashioned Populist Of
1890 and 1892 have said If any one
had told him that in the year 1899 his
rarty would meet in delegate conven-
ton on the same day that the Demo-
cratic party met in delegate
convention and by agreement make
mn mixed ticket Of Democrats and
PopulistsP He would bave accused
the man making such statement OF
being under the employ OF Wall
street. The death knell of the Pop
ulist party was sounded in 1896 when
their national convention nominated
BRYAN at St. Louis. As the Populist
party has ceased to be national or
ganizstion so it will cease to be a
state organization after the next state
election"
"What about the national issueP'
"Tbe next national Democratic
convention will be an organized
yrumble. 1t will view everything
with alarm, its voice will be a wall,
but little attention will be paid even
BY itself to Its promises. 1t will re-
" for success on its ability to fine
fault with what has been done BY
McKinley's administration. 1t will
pose as the critic of the war and o.
all questions growing out Of the war
1t will oppose expansion it will tr!
10 howl antitrust but nobody vii
nav any attention to that and it will
soonauit. Democrats will soon discov
er that the people understand that thf
regulation Of trusts is a progressive
work and all progressive work mus
be done by the Republican party.
"As it looks now Bryan will be re
nominated, he will lose every statt
north of Mason and Dixon's line ex
cent Colorado, and he will lose one
third o. the southern states, and Nc
Kinley will beat him by a popular
vote of two million.
"Will 16 to be an issue"
..Oh. even a Democratic audience
will vomit il one Of their orators un
dertakes to discuss that question mex
year. No, no, that nauseating sub
iect will beslet down easy, even D.
Bryan, by that time"
"What have you to say about tn
claims of Senator Baker that he can
not be defeated because he control
all the appointees now made and t.
be made in this State? And that tn
taking OF the census adds largely '
his already great army Of workers.
