attempted that winter by the representatives of the peoples' party with an overgrown majority in the house. It was a carnival of folly It was law making run mad! Could a lithe of the attempted legislation by the house have been enacted into laws, the railroad interests of Kansas would have been paralized; the banking institutions would have been forced to close their doors; industries of many kinds would have been at a stand-still, and at least temporary destruction brought upon the state.

S. and T. A.HARDING, DYERS and its appearance yesterday. The Colonel supports Harrison and Keid, the republican state ticket, Charley Curtis for congress and calls upon all good democrats to stand loyally by the aggregation. To say the least our good old friend, the Colonel, is an 'amoosin cuss with skates on." The Democrat.

Wo confess to being not a little sur prised at the above flippant comment from Editor Holliday, our old associate on the Democrat. Surely, all recollection of past hopes and expectations, of earnest talks and councils together concerning national and local issues, must, strangely, be forgotten, to permit, even in a jesting way, such bandiage as the above. Yes, every allegation made in the above is true. We proudly avow it. We are supporting Harrison and Reid.

Why we are, and for what reasons, no one knows better than our old associate. The files of the Democrat for the past three or four years, as an ar mory, bristle with objections to once more placing in the White House the "Man of Destiny "whose destiny for the next four years will doubtless be to remain with his accomplished wife and daughter at their elegant home at Buzzard's bay, or in New York city. Ah, Charley, we were close together in judgment and in sympathy in those days, and if the truth were told we are probably not far apart in our opinion of the great chump, the intense egotist, and "third term" presidential candidate now. We plead guilty, also, to the allega tion of being for "Charley Curtis for congress." Why should we not be for him? Why should not every voter in Shawnee county be for its talented and popular son, who from a boy has grown up in our midst, earning by strenuous application to study, under great disadvantages, and by hi talents, a recognized position in the community, and winning in the race for popular favor. We say, why should not, even, the democratic voters of Shawnee county, including Editor Holliday, be for the young orator of Shawnee county, the splendid specimen of Young America, rather than for Dr.

Wharton, the nobody from Yates Center, a' man of inferior ability and poor repute: a wretched pill compounder, suddenly dragged from obscurity by the scum of politics in the Fourth congressional district, and placed in a position for which he is wholly unfitted by nature; while, it is well known, the political accident has not a shadow of a claim upon one democratic voter in this congressional district? There is no democrat, Editor Holli day well knows, running against Charley Curtis. There is an excuse for manhood running on the peoples' ticket, a fellow of little ability, whose character will not bear the slightest investigation, and whom it would be a disgrace to send to congress from this district. Democrats are left as free as air to vote for Charley Curtis; and, against the chump of Yates Center, we believe be will go out of Shawnee county with an enormous majority. Even Editor Holiday, under the circumstances, could honor himself, by casting his ballot for the favorite son of Shawnee county, against a boor who, if elected, would only bring contempt upon the district. Finally, we plead guilty to the charge of supporting the republican state ticket.

We wear this charge, especially, not as a proudly as an honor. Yes, we are unalterably opposed to fusion. In the great issue before the voters of Kansas one fraught with such power for good or ill for the state we would be forever ashamed of Surself if we did not stand lovallv bv the side of those who are fighting for the good name and wel fare of the state. With the record made by the peoples' party in the state; a standing menance as it is to the material interests of Kansas, it is utterly incomprehensible to us that the fanatical and revolution ary organization of Otis, Peffer and Jerry Simpson should receive the sup' port of one democratic voter in Kan sas. We remember well the uneasiness, even alarm, that prevailed among the representative citizens of Topeka year ago last winter after the organi zation of the lower hbuse ol the legis lature with P.

P. Elder as speaker. Among the prominent citizens of Topeka business men, capitalists, and others there was a feeling of dread and uneasiness as to what would be done by the law-making power, a little akin to the fear felt by the burghers of old time citv on the approach of a hostile army.

A Plan to Spread A Sound Political Gospel Throughout Kansas. The Daikt Sbntinkl has enlisted for the campaign against the unsound and revolutionary views of the people's party, and in favor of good government, and of maintaining the integrity and welfare of the state.

For this purpose, The Sentinel invites the hearty co-operation of all citizens of Kansas, without regard to party. Truly, it is a time in this commonwealth, when men who love the state, divested of partisan bias or prejudice, should reason together. In order to reach as many democratic voters as possible during the campaign, we have decided to establish a Sentinel Campaign Fund, inviting from those interested, fivb DOLLAR arid TEN DOLLAR SUBSCRIPTIONS for The Sfntihel during the campaign. These subscriptions will be duly entered upon The Sfntinel's books and copies of the daily will be mailed to subscribers, as desired by the doners to the fund, at the rate of twfnty-five cents a month, postage paid, to each address, in Kansas, or in any part of the union. In case of the subscribers to the fund not desiring to furnish the names of voters, Thi Sentinel will be sent in bundles to postoffices throughout the state with the request to be distributed to voters in the vicinity.

Papers over the state, friends to the work of The Sentinel, are urgently requested to refer to this notice, and to make a special "club rate" with this paper, which will be furnished to any address, postage paid, at the rate of twenty-five cents a month. Several well-known citizens are already enrolled as subscribers to this fund. Let the good work go on. Address, The Daily Sentinel, Topeka, Kansas. ''Fusion" is already on the wane in Kansas.

The "fusion-fixers" are likely to hear something drop soon in Kansas. The fight over the Stewart free coinage bill is on in the house of representatives. The letters we are receiving from indignant democrats over the state would make good reading laid before the public. All is quiet now at Homestead. It to be hoped that nothing more will be added to the bloody drama enacted in that community.

President Manvkl, of the San ta Fe, in an interview in Chicago, speaks en couragingly ef the business prospects of that corporation. In a comparison between Charley Curtis and Dr. Wharton, in ability, character, record, the advantage is all in favor of the former. Senator Peffkr filled the pulpit of one of the Washington churches last Sunday, his discourse being upon the subject of the Homestead riots. Last year the state vote in Kansas was as follow: Republicans, peoples party, 113,720: democrats, 29, 348; the combined opposition to the republicans being in the majority by only 12,036.

There will be a joint discu3 sion be tweea D. A. Perkins, republican, and Captaiu Morris, peoples party, at Oak land on Friday night. The same parities will speak at Tecumseh Saturday night en the money question. A well attended meeting of antl fusion democrats was held in Wichita last night, and resolutions were passed condemning the sell-out of the party consummated at the recent democratic state convention and pledging co-op eratiou in the movement in the Fifth district, looking to the placing of a straight democratic state ticket and electors in the field.

Men knew that the good name and material interests of the state could not be seriously impaired. The young editor of the Democrat will not deny that he was among those in the capital city who were thankful that the flag of the French commune, i. the peoples' party, did not fly victoriously over every department of the state house. But with a fatuity we can not comprehend or account for ignoring wholly this shameful record made by the peoples' party; throwing to the winds the question of self-respect, the fact that every time the democratic party in Kansas has talked of fusion it has received a slap in the face; we see the democracy of Kansas, not only courting a shameful alliance with the populists, but with a total want of self-respect permitting itself to be swallowed up by the wild-eyed party of Otis, Peffer and Jerry Simpson. The sorrowful phase of this cow ardly surrender of the once proud and self-respecting democratic party in Kansas is that it is at the expense of the good name aud material interests of the state.

No one knows this better than the young editor of the Democrat. In his judgment and sympathies, we believe, to-day, he is squarely with the editor of The Sentinel. He loathes in his heart the medicine he feels constrained to swallow. Why does he not rise up in his man hood and spurn the abomination of the Wichita state ticket, which he carries, to-day, at the mast-head of the Democrat, and which, if successful, means the humiliation and disgrace of Kansas? The young editor of the Democrat once had the courage to do what was right. Why does he play the coward now, when the welfare of the city of his pride, and the state, are at stake? Editor Holliday is not under a parti cle of obligation to put up the Wichita ticket.

He is, or should be, a free democratic editor, standing up in his self-respect and manhood, ready to battle for what he believes to be right; not a chattel, to be delivered into the camp of the peoples' party, at the bid ding of the selfish and unprincipled bosses in the democratic party. Above all democratic editors in Kan sas, with his great interests in this city to guard and defend, Charley Holliday can not afford to stoop to the degra dation and fatal mistake of supporting the" Wichita ticket. Little satisfaction will there be for Editor Holliday and his friends next winter, even if by accident, they help elect peoples' party men, to a half dozen paltry state offices, which will not be their victory; if at the same time that political revolution in Kan sas shall be the means of bringing con tempt and financial misfortune upon the state. We would rather be struggling as we are for what we believe to be the right, than to sit in the Democrat office stultifying ourself, daily, by writ ing edftoriala in favor of a fusion movement we despised in our heart, and the success of which we knew could only result in ruin to the state. It may be a matter of opinion, but in this case we think the "amoosin cuss is on the other side.

A great many persons think that Secretary Mohler's estimate of the Kansas wheat crop this year at 62J million wa3 a conservative one. His estimated yields per acre of winter wheat as follows: Eastern belt, 14.3 bushels, central belt, 16.5 bushels; western belt, 14.5 bushels. It is the great central wheat belt that we hear every day is raising hundreds of acres of wheat that are going 25, 30 and 35 bushels to the acre, and this belt it is claimed will go above its estimate while the others will not fall below. Land Commissioner John E. F-ost of the Santa Fe says he will not be surprised to see the wheat crop of Kansas reach 70,000,000 bushels this year.
