KEARNEY, Neb., Oct. 1S.-(Special)-
"Why did Juan Boyle resign Chairmanship OF |
the democratic congressional committee Tor |
the Sixth dstrict?' That Is the question that |
has been frequently of late propounded by |
The Bee, but no fusionist OF the district mas
rushed into print with the explanation
sought.
In SPITE however. of the evident disin-
clination of the fusionists to discuss 1t, the |
answer is given today over Mr.. Boyles own
signature in an address to the democrats
Of the Sixth district published in the kear-
ney Democrat calculated to open the eyes
of pOpulists and democrats who have been
blindly following the so-caled fusion lead
ers
1t will be remembered that when the popu-
lists and democrats met in two conventions
some weeks since at Lexington to nominate
a candidate for congress- to fill the vacancy
in the Sixth district created by the death OF
the late W. L. Greene last winter in Omaha,
the efforts Of the fusion conspirators to
secure combination upon joint candl-
date slipped cog. AS result two candl-
dates were placed in nomination The demo-
Gratis presented NJ. c. Harrington OF North
Platte, and the populists put up William
Neville OF the same place. AT the time
both parties we're obdurate and considerable
bitter feeling was engendered by the un-
availing contention.

district by the aid OF deception and perjury,

among themselves that
CATER 1900 there will he no neces-

sacrifices we Will win over nearly
NIL the popuIists to our party"
1t Is not merely surmised that this was
the moving consideration that prompted the
participants in that meeting. 1t is abso-
lutely known that Mr Harrington came out

to the chairman OF his committee for giving
up his fight II must have been Bryan who
suggested to him that his withdrawal would
wipe out the third party by winning the
populsts over to the democracy.
1t was also undoubtedly in pursuance OF
the plans adopted at that meeting that
Harrington at once placed himself in cor
respondence with Juan Boyle, chairman OF
his committee, in order to justify his with
drawal. His letters to Boyle afford an in
sight into those plans, which can rest on
nothing less than downright perjury. In
one of them he writes to Boyle suggestion
that must be OF intense interest TO the honest
follower of the populist cause namely, that
future of democracy In the sixth dis
