MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1897 NO. 155. 1 i i TO POPULISTS. HOMESEEKERS' EXCURSION. DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT.

SOMETHING FOR THE POPULISTS OF KAN' SAS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER. Not forever ivill the Democrats of Kansas be mere "Hewers of Wood and Drawers of Water" for tfie Peoples' Party. To suppose such abnegation a continuance of such one aided Generosity, without any just equivalent is an absurdity. We nay frankly to the Populists of Kan sas: Pay Day is Here! It can not be Delayed I The only way to discharge the Debt is to elect a Representative Democrat, United States reasonable demand of Democrats for the election of one of their number, United States Senator. A moment's reflection will show any one that two years from now it will be too late.

The present State Officials, as a matter of course, will then all expect a Re-nomination. The same can be said of the Populist. Members of Congress. They, too, will expect a re nomination. The Populists two years from now, it is plain, will have nothing to give for any Dem3ratic aid.

If there is to be any generosity shown by Populists in the distribution of patronage, it is apparent it must be Via Santa Fe RcuteThe Home Road. On January 5 and 19. Febr lary 2 and 16. March 2 and 16. April 6 and 20.

A DEMOCRATIC UNITED STATES SENATOR forget these things. If Coalition between tbe Democrats and Populists is a thing to be desired in the future, we say frankly the only way to secure it is for the Populists at this time to deal fairly and justly by their Democratic Allies. The splendor of the scene at the State House to-day points a moral. The base of the honor and glorv was the Triple Alliance. Unless Justice and Equity are at this time respected by tbe Populists, friendship and unity alike will disappear; the Populists two years hence will go down to certain defeat; and their splendor of to-day will be as a dream in Kansas! Must Be Elected By The Coming Legislature To Preserve The Unity Between Populists and Democrats In Kansas.

Senator. Good afternoon, Governor Leedy Now. The Populist Leaders in the Over 100 young Republic have already eagaged seat 3 for the Kansas Day bii qnet. The Legislature convene-: at noon to-morrow. hour of Victory, will do well not to Populist Representatives Should Read And Carefully Consider The Admonitions of The Democratic Press Of Kansas.

Thk sun to-day upon the Neir Administration and on Kansas. FURMAN'S Thk future of the Peoples' party in Kansas bangs upon the election of a Democrat for United States Senator. This, indeed, would be narrow, shortsighted, and stupid politics for the Thk Northwest won in tbe contest for Speaker of the House. How will it be in tbe interesting fight for State Printer? A HINT TO POPULISTS. The Manhattan Mercury.

Most of the Populist senators and rep resentatives in Kansas owe their election to the Demoorats. This ought, and we be Ex Governor Osborn was at his best to-day as Master of Ceremonies. May all the Ex-Governors of Kausas, ''live long and prosper lieve will, have consideration with members of the Legist at a re. So far the Democrats have asked for nothing. The Democrats deserve recognition, and if the Populists are wise in planning for the future, and in earnest in the cause of Silver, they can not make a mistake in electing John Martin United states Senator.

Let every Self-Respecting Democrat in Kansas join in the dignified and d-termind demaned: 'A Representative Democrat must be elected United States Senator!

We make the following estimate on the strength, at this time, of the leading candidates for United State senator: W. A. PefTer 22 votes, W. A. Harris 20 votes, John W.

Bieidenthal 18 votes, Dennison 12 tes. en Sat One hundred Democratic papers, and at least 75,000 Self Respecting Democratic voters join in the impressive and determined demand: "A Representative Democrat must be elected United States Senator!" 604 Kansas Avenue. 22ipOur new location next month will be 628 Kansas Avenue. FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR JOHN MARTIN. Parsons Palladium In tbe Democratic State Convention at Topeka in 1892, it was maiuly through the efforts of Ex-Senator John Martin that Fusion was effected and the entire National and State Ticket was elected In 1894, through failure to Fuse, the Populists were badly beaten.

In 1896 Senator Mnrtia was a prominent factor in the Fusion arrangement between the Democrats and Populists, and our read ert) know that by that Fusion the Republicans were routed in the state. Senator Martin is entitled to a great deal of credit for the splendid victory. He was ably assisted by most of the pr raineot Democrats of the state who atteuded the Hutchinson convention and who share with him the victory won by the wise and temperate action of the band of Spartan Democrats who gathered there, and camped on the ground until unity of action was agreed on by tbe Oonferenoa Committees and ratified by the two Conventions. With the aid of the Democrats the Populists were again victorious, electing the entire State ticket, a majority of the members of the State Senate and Representatives, and are now getting ready to taste the sweets of victory as quickly as the changes oan be conservatively made without injury to the state. In view of the services performed by the Democrats in the late campaign, the Palladium believes that they are entitled to great consideration at the hands of our allies, and the bonds of Union would be permanently cemented if given proper recognition by tbe Legislature.

We believe that the Demoorats should have the United States Senator, and we are of the opinion that Ex-Senator John Martin is the man who should be honored with the office. Senator Martin needs no eulogy at our hands. He has lived in Kansas for more than forty years, and is well and favorably known in every county in the state. He is able, fearless and conscientious he has been prominently identified with every campaign since he came to the state. He has held offices of great trust and responsibility, and has always been known as "Honest John Martin." We believe he is the st available man for United States Senator, and therefore we hope for his election.

Tbe Democratic Leaders and Newspapers of the State are powerful factors in a tight of this kind; and if they will make a determined and vigorous fight for United States Senator we may win! The prize is well worth the effort. Let us all bury past anamosities, if there are any, and make a red hot fight for the election of Honest John Martin to the Senate of the United States 1 INAUGURAL EXERCISES. All the old-time Democratic Leaders George W. Glick, Ed. Carroll, Bailie Waggener, W.

C. Perry, John Hannon, Jim Orr, Col. McClure, etc. will be in this city in a few days to aid in voicing the determined demand for tbe election of a Representative Democrat, United States Senator A RED LETTER DAY FOR THE POPULISTS OF TOPEKA AND KANSAS. GOVERNOR LEEDY INAUGURATED Let every Fair-Minded senator and Representative the Legislature, who owes his election directly to Democratic votes, at once see to it that an organization of members is perfected for the purpose of demanding that the Populists shall mete out naked justice to Democracy by tbe election of a Representative Demacrat, United States Senator! extracts a few of tae many expressions we have received as a fair expression of the sentiment of the Democratic press of the State concerning the election of a Democrat for Un ited States Senator.

The determined demand for such important recognition may at this juncture come as a rude shock to the Populist leaders; but not the less is it of the highest importance to them that it should be considered by them calmly and seriously, and without any unnecessary delay. The lion is in the path. It can be accepted as a certainty that not only is tbe demand made in good faith that a Democrat shall be elected United States Senator; but, as we happen to enow, it will be pressed by leading Democrats over the state with all the earnestness and power they possess. In all good feeling for the Peoples' party; as a loyal ally in the late arduous campaign we earnestly appeal to the Populists of Kansas to rise tq the level of the occasion! The supreme duty of the hour is to put the seal upm the bond of Unity between the Democrats and Populists by the election of Hon. John Martin or some Representative Democrat, United States Senator.

Is it possible that there are no men of any political sagacity in the Peoples' party! We are astonished at the blinded course of the Populist leaders who, apparently, are only intent upon gettiny up to the "pie-counterv and gobbling np the offices, without any thought of the future! Surely such bat-like selfishness was never before witnessed in any party in Kansas! To us, it is as plain as the sun shin- Enormous Crowds of People Witness the Highly Interesting Inaugural Ceremonies. A Public Reception In Honor of the New State Officers to be Held in the Senate Chamber This Evening. There is every reason to believe that Major J. K. Hudson will be per-miteed to retain the office of State Printer until next June, the expiration of the term of two years.

This sentiment of fairness and naked justice, we are happy to say, appears to be general among the leading members in the Peoples' party. BYNUM COMING TO KANSAS. low Attorney General L. C. Boyle, and Lieutenant Governor M.

To 'take no thought of to-morrow" would be a perilous motto for the Populists of Kansas. Thirty-Six Years Old Kansas is in fine feather to-day! One of the impressive scenes that can be witnessed no where in the State outside of Topeka, has just been enacted! In the presence of an enormous assemblage of people, the Inaugural Ceremonies of Governor and the new State Officers took place in Representa tivo hall at 11 o'clock this morning. Chairman TillotsoD, of the Committee of Arrac gements, called the assemblage to order. Ex-Governor Osborn, ca rying well his three score of years, gracefully presided as Master of Ceremonies.

The song, "America," was then sung by tbe audience; following which the great assemblage dispersed, while a Governor's salate fired by Battery closed the interesting morning proceedings.

THE BEC EPT I From 2 to 4 o'olock in the afternoon the newly elected state officers held receptions to the public in the various f-fices, with their wives. Governor John W. Leedy Chief Justice Frank Doster assisted by Mr. and Mrs. John Martin, Mr.

Eugene Hagan, Chairman of the State Central Committee of the National Democratic party, is in recipt of a letter from the national headquarters at Chicago stating that Chairman W. D. Bynuui, of Indiana, has arranged to come to Kansas and make at least two speeches in this state. Mr. Bynum's western tour will be to aid in the work of organizing the Gold Standard Democrats in this state, who thus far exhibit no intention whatever of giving up the fight.

Mr. By num ranks as one of the foremost speakers in the west. Kansas Democrats are for Silver, but they respect honest differences of opinion upon great national issues, and are always glad to honor talent and worth. The date of Mr. Bynnm's visit to Kansas, and the places at which he will speak, have not yet been determined.

The Indiana orator, who in past years has fought courageous and telling battles for Tariff Reform and Democracy, can be sure of a friendly greeting and good audiences in Kan- DANGER TO THE POPULISTS. Newton Journal. The act which will effect the Populist party for weal or woe is the election of a United States senator to succeed W. A. Peffer.

It is upon this rock that the ship of the Allied Forces seems destined to founder. There is a disposition on the part of the majority of Populists to defy consequences and eleot a Populist to the high office of United States senator, because they have the ability to do so without let or hindrance from anybody. If this is done, then farewell to Populist success in 1898. A few orumba may be thrown to individual Democrats in the way of membership on State boards or guards in the Penitentiary, but the party can not be bought that cheap. In case of failure to 'give the Democrats tbe United States senator at this time, the Populists will have nothing to offer the Democrats two years from now, and the result will be a turning down and oat of the Populist State Officers and Congressmen.

tion of a Representative Democrat United States Senator, the spectacle ol a well-nigh perfect Coalition be- tween the Democrats and Populists will NEVER AGAIN BE WITNESSED IN KAN- AS. This recognition of the Democracy as an equal and Self -Respecting Ally must be NOW. There is no other time than the Present. The Leaders who are guiding the councils of tbe Peoples' party must at this time show their wisdom by acceding to tbe just and.
