| the idea that any audience in Kansas
could be entertained and enthused with
a speech intended to induce men TO vote
against the Republican party because il
did not get this nation into q war with
Great Britain in defense of the Beers OF
South Africa is 70 my mind monstrous
lido not hesitate to say that President
Mckinley and his administration has beer
pre-eminnently right in firmly refusing
to be drawn into war with Great Brit
ain. because forsooth the people sympa-
thize with the South African republics
A party that resorts 70 such dema-
goguery IN order to gain support is not
fit or capable to run any government
Would the Democrats have invited such
war? II they had the people would
save swept them from power Like a cy-
clone.
"Populist fusion IS at an end. SO out
ragged and Inundated are tho Populists
Of ne great state of Kansas at the I'M
Just negotiable and vindIctive course
pursued by the Democrats that never
again viii There be fusion between the
Populists and Democrats in Kansas. If
am right about that, l ask you then,
are you willing to be swallowed by The
Democratic party? Are you willing TO be
herded UP like cattle and run through
the branding chute, and have the Demo
cratic brand placed upon you without
even your consent Are you willing TO
stand supinely by and let a conspiracy
which has been in incubation for years
and Matched in the last twelve months,
be consummated without resenting IL?
Can a man with courage and self-re-
spect stand idly by and see the maraud-
ers rob his household and murder his
children? I for one am ready to declare
and do declare that cannot be made a
Democrat by any such process.
This Democratic tick which has laid
hold Of the Populist party and has in
jected into IT this poison and is sucking
It's life blood from it. must be made to
let loose. and the way 10 make It let
loose is to vote the Republican ticket. By
such Populists as are willing to resent
the infamous outrage. and thereby save
the Populist party for future usefulness.
II we submit to such treatment this year
we will be met by the same argument
next year, and the next. until we have
gradually and surely disintegrated, until
there is not enough strength left in US 70
resent an insult. I am Populist and a.
such l declare Il 70 be my conviction
that rather than see the Populist party
destroyed. and the Democratic party put
back into power in this nation that # is
the duty OF every sslf-respecting and
loyal Populist 70. in this year 1900 vote
the Republican ticket"
