NO NEW NAME.
Democrats Refuse to ReIinquish
Their Party Title.

The reply drafted and adopted by the
Democratic state central committee
was sent to the Populists through Act
ing Chairman w. J. Babb. The COM
mittee was diplomatic in drafting the
manifesto, and framed it's answer IN
a quotation from the Populists' propo-
sition itself, viz: THE Democratic is a
great national party, and because of
it's national character its men bers
would naturally refuse to give up its
organization in this state
The full text Of the reply is as fol-
lows:
Topeka, Kas., June %, 1901.
To W. J. Babb, chairman pro tenn, and
Members of the Peoples Party State
Central Committee of Kansas:
Gentlemen-Your letter of May 6,
1901, addressed to the chairman and
members of the Democratic state cen
trail committee, was received and has
this day been presented to the commit
tee for its consideration.
We view with satisfaction the desire
on your part to arrive at a method to
defeat the Republican party, and agree
with you that it is a party of private
corporations that is sapping the life
and subverting the aims of the re-
public.
We agree with you that there should
be united action of all men who be-
heve in the principles of Democracy
new. name that may be chosen like
Union or Fusion dropping the re-
spective party names, but retaining
our organization.
Our reply to this is a quotation from
your letter where you use this Ian
guage: 1.-THE Democratic is a great
national party and because Of its ma
tiona1 character its members would
naturally refuse to give up its organi-
cation in this state"
We agree with you in this declara-
ton, and being mindful of this fact
we believe it is beyond the power of
this committee to attempt to bind the
Democrats of this state by such an
agreement, for we do not believe they
would abide by such an arrangement.
During two national elections we
have stood shoulder to shoulder. hav-
ing the same platforms and candidates,
national and state, and you as a party
were satisfied with our principles and
candidates.
In view of this, why should we
change our name and why should we
not have the support of all men in this
state who desire to defeat the Repub-
Hcan party?
Believing there is a sincere desire to
defeat the Republican party of this
state, we invite all men who believe in
our principles to participate in the
Democratic primaries and conventions,
and aid in the nomination and election
of the strongest and best men to Office.
J. MACK LOVE,
Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee.
