WATERS DISSATISFIED.
Summons Populists to Nominate
a New City Ticket.

Capt. J. G. Waters has taken a hand
in the mayor question. He is responsible
for the following address which he says
is also a call for Populist mass meet
ing:
The Republicans who nominated
Hughes denounced the joints; Mrs Ma
ton denounced Hughes; His Honor de-
nounced Mrs Nation; David Overmyer
denounced Hughes and Clemens de-
nounced Overmyer. The recent law
against fusion is responsible for this.
Under the laws of Kansas there can be
no such thing as allied forces.
This is an appeal to unbending, true
blue, aboriginal Peoples party men who
live in the city, have registered and can
vote, or who having failed to do so can
by subscription method instead of suf-
frage speed the coming city campaign
Senator PETER has gone back ON US, Con-
gresham Otis has gone Mrs. Lease is
an adjunct of the trusts and in this hour
of our dire extremity nothing is left -ls
but the triune force of the Ocala plat
form, Mrs. Diggs and the Almighty.
BY all the past visions of green, blue
and red paper money. By all the bills
that Senator PETER ever introduced to
make aluminium the coin of the realm,
we appeal to you. 1t is time to act. Who
is Hughes? He is the man who. array
ed in peacock feathers and with shoulder
straps that looked like galluses on the
outside of his gold laced, steel clad coat,
refused US the right Of the Kansas mi
ltia for our righteous purpose. He is
the man we court martialed, by the as
sistance Of a Judge advocate in a straw
hat infantry jacket and cavalry trous-
ers. This man Hughes was then ap-
plauded by this same David OVermyer
who row denounces him. Who is Glenn
ems? The most ambitious Of all the fall
en- angels and he praises Hughes He is
the humble stalk now grows new and
hybrid varieties every hour and every
day In this hour when Mrs. Nation and
Nick ChileS have, like the lion and the
lamb lain down together, we appeal TO
all true Populists in this city to remen-
Der all the blessed "reminiscences Of the
sub-treasury scheme of unbaled hay and
oily goats come to the rescue and re-
deem the city. We may be in the minor
ity, but minority or not now is the time
to make record
We have but one star set in the eter-
nal north TO guide uS-DaV5 OVernyer,
we know has more. He has shifted the
wheel Of his ship to point to every star,
planet, asteFoid and scintillaCion of light
in the milky way. He has tried the i'm
possible thing OF propelling the ship
ahead by a star that divided the prov
and to make the hulk go backward and
follow a star whose light came over the
stern. He is the philosopher who has
known all creeds only to abandon them.
He is the statesman who has gone swim
ming with every boy in every creek ana
who has swapped shirts with every last
one of them. He is the defender of all
our liberties and can panegyrize with an
immortal Bill of Rights a common
jointist so that he looks like an anger
vestmented in glory and aureoled with
a halo of don't know what. He is the
man who has embeIlished every cause
only to denounce it afterward. We took
him from the gutter of politics The fat
ted calf was his. He spoke in tones of |
undying love to US. He has gone back |
to the Bourbons. The flesh pots meet his /
gaze. Victory seems in his reach. Tn /
like Caesar he has offered the crown un- 4
to himself each revolving campaign and /
it has revolved past him. It is not yet !
within his clutch. Let the people once |
bestow upon him the ermine of power /
and he will crush US all with a declara-
ton of independence, will destroy the /
nation with a dose of his Bill of Rights
and set back the millennium a thousand |
years when he can get the people to
with him backward TO the
grave of Jefferson and the bones Of our
fathers
We summon you by the Ocala plat
form. by what Mrs. Diggs is, what Sen
ator PETER was, by the eternal right to
meet in mass convention at The Auditor
um or somewhere else on tomorrow
night to reindorse the apostolic utter
ances and nominate a full city ticket
