TuIly SCOTS committee refuse,

the voters turn out, require a can

Neither proposition seems to
satisfy the other. so Tully Scott
don't want their quarrel to hurt
fusion In other matters and has is
sued the following ringing address
to his Committeeman and the dem
ocrats of the district:
O6erJias, Kan. HAY 2, 1900.
Dear SGrS: The unfortunate condl
ton in this congressional district is
one for which democrats are not
responsible, could not avoid, and
over which they now have no con
troll. But 1t is the patriotic duty
OF every democrat to continue to
strive earnestly tor a union of the
reform forces of every county and
throughout the state, to the end
that those who believe alike may
vote alike; that the electoral vote
of the state be given to Mr.. Bryan;
a state administrator elected in
sympathy with his caaso. and in
addition q q. S, senator secured,
who will maintain that this is still
a government OF the people The
ambition of the candidate should
be considered as nothing. the
cause as everything. If 1t shall be
determined that republican must
be elected to congress from this
district it will not be necessarily
vital, and let us hope that this will
be the end of all disagreement and
that the opposition to the repabll
can party will join IN an honest
union to redeem the state and to
save the nation. The election of a
Legislature is perhaps more import
ant than all else. The one great
obstacle to reform legislation is the
u. S. Senate, as at present consti-
tuted. Here, trusts are entrenched,
imperialism is rampant, and gold
and greed are supreme. The term
of the senator to be elected covers
all of the next presidential term
and half of the succeeding, The
single vote from Kansas may rIvet|
the gold standard, chain the people
TO industrial slavery and an en-
pire of the republic. All coalitions
are strongest. and most successful
when based on mutual concessions
and secured through mutual good
will, but whateve may come let
me appeal to, my fellow democrats
through you, to see to it that an /
anti-republican is elected to the
legislature from your district. It il /
but natural and logical that our
populist friends should expect toI
name the senator, and If so we can
expect that be Will
stand with Senators Harris of Kan
sas and Allen of Nebraska in SUPP
port of Bryan.
The Topeka agreement was made
by the lawful committees of both i
parties. It was the result of their
combined wisdom. It may not have
been exactly wise or exactly just,
but the motive was pure and the
honest. It would seem
therefore that every democrat and
popuIlst should loyallv acqulesce
in 1t. Let US hope that with both
democrats and populists patriotism
will prevail over individual ambi-
ten and that a perfect union oil
torces may be secured IN every
county and township in this dis
5rict. FGithfulJy Yours,
IuLLqI Scott.
