In commenting on au article from the Topeka Advocate, Representative Out-calt says: In saying that I have decided to disregard the Instructions of the populist conventions that nominated me for representative, aud to vote for John Madden, the Advocate is not exactly right.

I realize the fact that Senator Peffer was the choice of Coffey county populists September 12, the date of the convention. No one considered John Madden as even a factor iu the senatorial race. While mauy recognize bis great abilities as an orator and campaigner the general public did not know the man as he now appears at the close of the most wonderful campaigu ever fought in the Fourth congressional district. Ho was the leader of a most desperate forlorn hope. The immense republican majority in the district was largely due to the iiersonal popularity of Mr.

Curtis. Not even the most sanguine dared hope to cut it in two but the matchless eloquence, the keen argument and clear logic of Mr. Madden everywhere won friends not only for himself but for the whole silver ticket. The 3,000 majority dwindled to less than 500 and the people recognized in John Madden a champion of whom they could bo indeed proud. Cou-ditious have changed since September.

I think it but justice to the people of Coffey county that they may be intelligently represented. I therefore ask every man in this county who voted the silver ticket to at once write me a postal announcing his choice for United States senator. If a sufficient number of replies is received I shall lake them as more clearly representing the wishes of the people than the resolution of the convention.
