H. McKinney, of Auburn, was iu the city last Wednesday and got right with the Populist. Hudson ought to give Tomlinson a place on the Capital if his Wall street masters would allow it, to pay for his vigorous support in Hudson's campaign for the senate. The platform of the plutocratic convention, so far as those points are concerned which are intended for taffy to the laboring men, were revised by C. Henrie, the Coffeyville dynamiter, B.

K. Bruce, of Leavenworth, the colored brother who is offering to trade African votes for the office of secretary of state, was refused accommodation at all the plutocratio hotels in the city. At this writing it is doubtful if the plutocrats put a prohibition plank in their platform, so many delegates are lying around In the alleys drunk. Haskins is right in saying all they need of a plank is to put their jugs on. DIBECTORY.

Leavenworth, Kan. capacity 300 Boxes an Honr was highly enjoyed by all present, except a few plutocrats who were scattered around trying to pretend that they were some pumpkins and that they were there merely out of curiosity to see what the "Ignonnuses" would do. But the hot shot from the speakers penetrated the thick armor of Ignorance of those who dared to think at all, and even the most obtuse of them realized that they will have no easy task to continue their stealing in the face of a watchful people. We do not need to review the speeches, they were pure gospel, straight. In the evening, at Metropolitan hall, a great audience was in waiting when the speakers appeared.

Mr. Lewelling showed himself a magnificent "man, all that his friends hoped. He is a scholar and a gentleman. He is a man of affairs, who has thought broadly, and symypathi7.ee warmly with the suffering and oppressed. His countenance and manner indicates nreat firmness as well us and he will make a model governor in whose hands the interests of the people will be safe.

But he is just the kind of a man the corpo rations don't want, and they will move heaven and earth, or rather hell and boodle to encompass his defeat. Already the plutocratic papers of the city are preparing for a violent campaign of slander. They will be joined by all the (devilish pulpiteers and the sneaks generally that do the dirty work for the old parties. There is no time to be lost. It is our duty to at once close up our ranks and, shoulder to shoulder, present an unbroken line against lickspittles a foreign aristojeracy iiii defense or our nomes and our liberties.

CORRESPONDENCE. "Ed. Populist: Knowing the ne cessities of the government, these Shylocks had determined to hoard the gold of the country and compel, if possible, the government io accede to their demands, and thus while the soldier was bleeding and dying upon the battlefield, they would at home gather to themselves riches and become millionaires at the expense of the government. But thanks to a protecting providence, we had an Abraham to stand between the government and these money thirsty Shylocks, who would not submit to the infamous demands of these Shylocks, but recommended to congress to coin the credit of the government. And it was done.

And it was the grandest step ever taken by any government. And the acts of July 17, 1861, and Feb. 12, 1862, followed, authorizing the issue of treasury notes not bearing interest and payable for all debts, public and private. These first issues of greenbacks constitute the demand notes, unlike all subsequent issues, did not contain the exception clause, consequently they have always been at par with gold and some times as high as three per cent above, and establish the fact, that had it not been for the exception clause on the other greenbacks they would have always remained at par with gold. The issuance of this money brought relief.

Light began to break through the darkness that spread over the country; with this money the soldier was paid, the needs of the soldier's family were supplied and business of all kinds revived and flourished. To the ruinous demands of the Wall street Shylocks, to which I referred in my last letter, the government, with "Father Abraham" at the helm, had determined not -to submit. Shylock had been foiled in his first attempt to rob the people, so he sat himself at work to devise another scheme by which he might become rich and arrogant at the expense of the rights and liberties of the people. While the soldier for a mere pittance was fighting to preserve this country, the Wall street Shylock in combi nation with the British Shylock, was planning and scheming to ruin and destroy it And accordingly, four days after the passage of the legal tender act, we find a bankers' convention convened at Washington. Shylock saw that the legal tender act was a friend to the people.

He saw that the government could supply itself and the people with money without submitting to his exorbitant de mands, which he was determined to prevent And the very next act of congress will show how well his plans were laid and how well he succeeded. i naaeus Stevens, man whom no better man ever entered the halls of congress, framed the bill which pro vided for a full legal paper currency. bottomed upon an the varied wealth ci the land and backed by the bone and sinew of this great country. That bill passed the house creating uni alarmed. These two powers massed theif strength in the senate, and by the liberal use of gold, succeeded iu so mangling the bill as to destroy the legal tender clause as to two important items, interest on bonds and duties on imports.

This senate amendment provided for the creation of two kinds of money, one for the soldier, laborer, and producing class, and the other for bankers, brokers and speculators. The senate amendment made the peo ple's money the medium through which idle bondholders and specu lative thieves were to carry on their robbery and amass colossal fortunes. Every effort was brought to bear in the nouse when the bill came back for ratification, to make the senate scheme of robbery the law of the land. That effort was a success, and treason in congress struck a fatal blow at the home and fireside of every laborer in the land. On the 25th of February, 1862, 13 days after the passage of the lega1 tender act, and nine days after the bankers' convention, the act passed destroying the rights and liberties of the people, and bringing universal ruin and distress upon the laboring classes.

But this most ruinous and infamous law passed not without a struggle. Sixty-five men, brave and fought manfully and well, but were overpowered by seventy-two traitors, enemies to God, man and the best form of goveniment the world has ever seen. The bill as it passed the House at first provided for a full legal tender paper currency, receivable for all debts both public and private. The amend ment the senate put upon it was what is known as the "exception clause," or what I denominate the "deception" clause. These greenbacks were to be a legal tender for all debts public and private "except ditties on imports and interest on the public debt." The tacking of this "exception clause" on to this bill by the senate, was the begin ning of a series of legislative acts unparalleled for evil in the history of the world.

Calvin Ransom. Ed. Populist: I often hear the question asked, "Why don't the working man attend church?" and I believe one of the chief reasons is that the church of the present day has forgotten Christ and has become a plutocratic organization, and is used as a social and political instrument to oppress the working man in general. It has been the instrument used to divide or classify or grade the children of the great Creator of mankind, and every one of the several grades or classes are rated by the number of dollars he has a legal right to call his own, it makes no difference what method might have been used to filch it away from the toiler. The Scripture says that if you w'll not work neither shall you eat.

But we observe that those that work the hardest eat the least, and vice versa. We also read, "Blessed are the poor for they shall inherit the How much do they possess? We also read, "Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother." Usury of money, usury of vituals, usury of anything that is loaned upon usury. It seems that a three per cent a month man is classed among criminals in the Scripture. It then is in order to condemn either the Bible or the usurer, and our popular churches pretends to believe the Scripture and the preachers to be teachers of the Great Master, but they do not condemn the usurers and other great thieves. No, they submit, and perhaps willingly, to have a golden gag placed in their mouths and the words of wisdom that come out are very materially tempered by coming in contact with the precious metal, and when we go to church we find sitting in the pews well up to the front, nearest to Christ's lieutenant as it were, usurers, bank presidents, corporation presidents, stock gamblers, representatives of all the infernal machinery that is used (under the directions of satan himself) to grind the life blood out of the toilers of the land, and in most cases these imps o( are pillars in the church.

Seeing these things, it becomes disgusting to a man of principle. The church should first "Get right with God." If our preachers, all of them," would preach the gospel of truth for one year without having it modified by the golden gag, they would either convert these hypocrites or drive them out of the church. But the preacher says "Where would I get my bread if I offend these money lords r' Yet we read that faith like a mustard seed would remove mount ains, and again, there is something hood of God and the Brotherhood of man" In its true sense. As this arti cle is getting long come again. I will close and 8- Coombs.

Editor VanLangen will give weeping Charlie a roast this week in German over bis connection with and treason to the sons of Liberty.

Charlie must learn to boo-boo in Dutch much more pathetically than he does in English or he will not tret a slugle German vote in this county. A suspicion is oeing felt that the mysterious opposition to Congressman Otis was the result of skillful manipu lation by the Maxwell land grant thieves, of whom secretary Elkins was chief, should this prove to be correct it will go a long way towards making a United states senator of Mr. Otis- Mr. M. E.

Matthews has returned from Huntsvllle, Alabama, where he has been dosing up successfully a case in court involving property to the amount of $300,000. He has been en tirely engaged on this case a long time, and has been absent from home a great deal. He will now settle down to business Jn Topeka as formerly. He Is ona of our foremost People's party attorneys and will be heard from the stump during the campaign. Some time ago a boy about eleven years old was drowned in tne river.

His body was afterward found about two miles below town. Undertaker Stoker sent a hearse to bring it to the cemetery. This required in all a half day's work. Mr. Stoker charged the father ef the lad, who is a poor man, sixty-one dollars for his services.

A subscription has been taken up to enable the man to pay it. We do not want to comment on this action. We have no words to doit justice. But if there Is a hell and every undertaker who does such things, every preacher who assists him by his silence for a consideration, and every editor who assists by his silence for an advertise ment, don't go to that hell and roast in its central fires, such common sinners as liars, thieves, slanderers, murderers, may rest easy. As we intimated last week, Col.

Whoop Tomlinson publishes a card in the Democrat in which he formally withdraws from the dem-p'uto party and joins the rep-plnto wing. It is a case of tweedla dam and tweedle dee. He emphasizes the point that tnis will be no ordinary political conflict, but a death strugle between the plutocra cy and the people, and closes with the motto in capitals, "Down with the People's party." He has made his choice as did the tories of 1776. The time is close at hand when every man most decide for him self. The people or the plutocrats must perish.

OUR RATIFICATION. Last Saturday was a great day for the People's party In this county. The central committee had decided to hold a ratification of the nominees at Emporia and Wichita. The candi dates for governor and congressman were invited, and as they were both comparatively unknown to our people there was a great interest in their at tendance. The fates, however, or the telegraph came near spoiling our pudding.

Neither candidate arrived as expected. The afternoon meeting in the park had a good attendance but was not as large as would, have greeted the governor. Speeches were made byS. U. Scott a H.
