The letter Is the outgrowth of the circular Issued ono week ago by McGrath In which he demanded that ho southern farmers leave the democratic > , irty and Join the Independent movement. Pho reply of President Livingstone of the Georgia alliance declaring thut McGrath had 10 right to dictate to the southern farmers , ms provoked a great deal of criticism. Mr. JumbaulU takes for his text the statement nado by McUrath that unless the south would desert the democratic party the north- vcstem farmers would go back to the rcpub- lean party , and savs : "I nm authoritatively Informed that Mr. \IcGrath mute ; this announcement without nstructlon or authority of the Kansas alli ance and without the approval of his fellow ofllcors. Neither has ho any authority to speak for the people's party of Kansas , or for alliance voters on this subject. ' . therefore feel called upon to state that the people's party of Kansas is In the field to stay and has'no Intention under any circum stances of abandoning their third party novoment und returning to the old party lues. " President McGrath refused to discuss Chairman Dumbauld's letter , stating that lie lad not scoj It In print and could only know of it through others. For the same reason ho refused to answer questions concerning the notlves which prompted President Living stone's ' reply. "I myself was opposed to a third party movement , " ho said , "but the people I rep resent demanded It and I could" only speak for them. I believe the people of the south ire as ready for tno third party movement as > wo are , but many of their leaders oppose it. : hope to see President Llvlngstono at the Cincinnati covention on May 19 , but there will bo enough representatives there to assure - sure the success of the conference. " A Kansas Judge on Trial. TOPEKA , Kan. , April 20. [ Special Tele- { ram to TUB BKE.J The Kansas senate con vened this afternoon as a high court of im peachment to try Judge Thcdosius Botkln of Lho Thirty-second Judicial district. Judge Botkln is a republican oOlcoholdor , and the .ndlctment brought against him by the alii- auco house contains ton counts , charging htm with drunkenness , gambling , profanity while on ttfo bench , and a denial of Justice to his personal enemies. Judge Boticin Is ono of the best known men in the stato. Ho ac quired D.natlonaLandMuinjnviablo , reputation. la 1838..by , Denouncing , , Jefferson ' , Davis , at a banquet tendered 'visiting Kansans - sans at Paris , Tox. , by the ex-confed erates. Ho was forced to flco the town and on returning homo announced himself as n candidate for the republican nomination for congress. At the beginning of the legislative session the alliance caucus decided to make a shining mark of ono republic in olllclal and petitions were sent the legislature from the counties which compose his district pravlng for his impeachment. The house investigat ing committee was in session ton days and the indictment returned contained the same charges made in the original petitions. The cost to the state by the impeachment trial will not bo less than $50,000 , requiring n twenty day's session of the senate. The board of managers appointed by the house to prosecute the case is conlldcnt tnat enough direct testimony has boon procured to remove Juilk'Q Botkin from the bench. This is the bconii Impeachment trial in the history of the stato. Governor Clailcs Rob inson was tried by the senate In IbO'J on charges of having entered into a scheme to defraud the state in the sale of bonds , but was acquitted , but his auditor was removed from otlluo. The district ever which Judge Botkln pre sides is in the extreme southwestern corner of the state , and has been the scene of the many disgraceful county seat fights which Uavo so advertised the state. In many of thcso Judge Botkin has been forced to take a part and personal enmities enter largely Into the prosecution. VKEGIEU GIVES VP. He Acknowledges the Klection of Jlempstcad Washhiirnc.
