Town Last Night.
FOR MID-R0AD POPULISTS
Makes a Hit With the Straight
outs at Canton, Kansas.

Canton, Kan, Oct I'll P. CampbelI
last night left for Nebraska. where he
will make a number OF speeches under
the auspices and by invitation Of the
Middle-of-the-Road Populist state com
mittee.
The Nebraska middle Of the readers had
read Mr.. Campbelrs speech as recently
printed IN the Eagle. and being impress
ed with hi arguments and his course in
| denouncing Democracy for its attempt to
swallow the Populist party asked him to
make some speeches in the state. includ
ing one at Lincoln tonight. Mr.. Camp
bell considered this an honor and hence
accepted
He will return next week and speak
as follows: Pratt, Wednesday. October
81; Norwich, Thursday. November 1; st.
John. Saturday, November 8; Stafford.
Saturday. November 8.
Mr.. Campbell's campaign has been very
effective among HIS Popuhst friends, and
he has succeeded in convincing very
many of them OF the peridy OF the Dem
ocratic party toward his party.
Mr.. Campbell yesterday afternoon ad-
dressed good sized crowd, made up
wholly Of voters, here. and was we'll
pleased with the result. One Populist,
Joseph Johnson, came in a considerable
distance to hear Mr.. Campbell and to
tell him he thought he was taking the
right course. A number of other Popu-
lists were present, also, in spite of the
usual persistent Democratic and Demo-
cratic-Populist tactics to keep the hesi-
tating ones away. Canton township

crat hoped to turn it their way this year.
but will not be able to do so.
Mr. Campbell replied vigorously to the
charge that he had bolted a fusion
convention and nomination
I'm ever sought or received a Demo-
cratic nomination" he said. 'I am proud
to say I secured an unanimous Populist
nomination, but never made the slight
est effort to secure that OF the Demo-
cratic party. I didn't want it. Then I
resined Of my own accord. seeing the
drift of things and recognizing the Dem
ocratic idea TO defat me If I stayed on
the ticket, and having witnessed the dis
graceful and insulting treatment ac-
corded the PopuIst party at Kansas
City by the Democrats. I had nothing
to do with the late Hutchinson conven-
ton and refused to allow my name to
come before the convention. So I do not
see how I am a bolter.'
Replying to Democratic insinuation as
to his Populism. Mr.. Campbell cited as
one instance OF his good faith and sin
certify of conviction one of his acts-the
throwing up Of the bill afterwards a
law to compel railroads to issue return
transportation to shippers of one cor OF
stock, a privilege hitherto denied any
shipper of less than two or three cars
Mr.. Campbell also told of how he fought
a test case IN this law and won in the
justice district and appellate courts,
though finally defeated in the supreme
court.
Mr. Campbell made a hit here, and
there was much favorable comment on
his speech.

her a bright future, he took up the
question of free homes. He defined
gratitude, a mans duty, and answered to
