Mr. W’ateon In Kansas.
Erik, Kan., Mept. 11.—Thomas E
Watson's welcome to Kansas was not
of the dignified and ceremonious char
acter which should have marked the
advent of the Vie* Presidential candi
date of a great political party to a
sovereign state. No one was at the
depot to meet him llreidentbul
Anally arrived at 0:30 o'clock and was
met at the hotel by a large crowd of
local uml visiting Populists, but stop
ped only for haaty handshakes and
hastened on to Mr. Watson's room,
where be went into executive session
with Mr. Watson and Mr. Ueed.
The local committee lied announced
that the speech would be made in the
afternoon, but Mr. Watson vetoed
that and said he would speak In the
forenoon, as soon after 10 o’clock as
postlble.
Mr. Wstson began speaking to about
1,500 people, who sat In front of him
In the grand stand, sheltered from the
aun's ray* oy a roof. It was an audi
ence mostly of farmers snd their
wive* and daughter*. At the speaker
progressed other* arrived by train and
team, and before he hod closed 2,000
persons were present.
Mr. Ureldcnthal was made chairman
of the meeting, and introduced Mr.
Watson us the chumplon of the people.
• Mr. Wat ,ou began by reviewing the
history of the People’s"party, from Its
inception, saying that the West and
the Mouth, the great agricultural sec
| tions of the country, had joined hand*
1 In I tin urn'll ii'nel/ ft sunn u»i n/f I lies
right* of the people. The West should
stand by the South as the South has
stood by the West. The time hat not
come for the People’s party to die.
(Cries of 'No. No. ’) You of the West
told us of the great evil the existing
transportation system was putting
L upon the country. For God's sake don't
!/ desert the People's party now, when
the great work hay been fairly begun.
We of the South still believe in that
doctriut of reform and so should you.
So do you. Don’t make any mistake.
The evil tiiat we started out to reform
is as great now a* it was then. I
come to you with a message from the
^ South that we are in this fight to stay
until we shall have won. Is the
West still with us? Thank God, I see
it in the faces of these honest men
and women of Kansas that you are
■till Arm in the faith.”
Then the speaker attacked Presi
dent Cleveland and bis position on the
money question and spoke of dear
money and its cause.
Getting to hi* nomination for Vice
9 President Mr. Watson said amid ap
plause: “I was nominated unanimous
ly. Mr. Jirvan was nominated unani
mously for {’resident Neither of u*
was in the war. Mr. Ilryan had said
before hi* nomination that if the Dem
ocratic party should adopt the gold
standard he would leave the Demo
cratic party. I am not seeking to be
taken on the Democratic ticket I am
no potitical beggar. Nor is iny party.
The Democrats and Populists ought to
unite. The ticket ought to be the St.
Louis ticket, liryau, the Democrat,
g and Watson, the Populist. I say that's
no surrender; it is a fair compromise.’’
The speaker then discussed the sit
uation as it related to himself and
Bewail. "If they mean,’' he went on,
“to pass the silver bill, why should
they object to our staying in? We
want to help the Democratic party,
but we won’t surrender. I will come
off the ticket when my boy get* out
and makes speeches against me, as
Bewali’s boy is making against him.
A man who can't carry his own fam
ily carries no political strength. Our
people would not consent to my com
ing off the ticket. The surest way to
defeat liryari is to disrupt the silver
fc forces, and the way to do that is for
me to he driven of? the ticket, but I
say that 1 am not here to be run of?
the ticket. I would not take an elec
toral vote that should not be given to
| Bryan, too.
"Turn me down and you lose Texas,
Tennessee, Kentucky. To elect Bryan
the People’s party nominee for vice
president must stay on the ticket, and
I say Watson is going to stay. I say
to you what I say in Georgia and
Texas. I have had reason to believe

AN ILLEGAL BODY.
Decision Rendered In Regard to the Kan
■as City Lira Stock Exchange.
TorKKi, Kan., Sept 11.—Judge T.
K Uarver of the Kansas court of ap>
peals handed down an opinion yester
day in which he holds that the Kansas
City Live Stock exchange la an illegal
body and that each member com
mitted a misdemeanor in joining the
association. The firm of Ureer, Mills
A Ca, of Kansas City, Kan., belonged
to the association and was convicted
of accepting lower commissions than
were recognized under the rules oi
the exchange. A fine of •1,000 was
imposed which the Arm refused to pay
and brought suit to prevent suspen
sion. The ossa was tried In the Wyan
dotte county district court on an ap
{illcatlon for injunction and the decia
on was against (freer, Mills A Ca
This decision is now affirmed by the
court of appeal*.
Judge Uarver hold* that all combi
nation* and association* of persons
formed in this Htate for the purpose
of Imposing an unreasonable restraint
upon the exercise of trade or business
are unlawful and void, as against pub
lic policy and contrary to the statute*
of the Hlate. A court of equity, be de
clares, will not land It* aid to a mem
ber of such unlawful association to en
able him to retain his membership
therein or to restrain the association
from suspending or expelling him
therefrom for a violation of its ille
gal rule* and bylaws. He holds In
effect that the association was organ
ized in violation of law, one of the re
sult* of the organization being to
prevent competition among those en
gaged In the live stock commission
business and to snabio members to
maintain'uniform minimum prices for
their servioes, such objects being ex
pressly prohibited by chapter 257 of
the laws of 184U.
In closing Judge Uarver says: “It
I* clear that any order of judgment,
whether for the plaintiff* or defend
ants, which the court could render in
this case, would not eliminate from
the exchange the obnoxious bylaws
Ho far as their action is concerned
they will remain without change.
The organization itself will continue
with unimpaired ability to violate the
law and with impunity to trample
upon public interest*. A membership
inerein, aiier ids judgment oi hi is
court la rendered, will be as much
wlthiu thn prohibition of the statutes
as It was before. These parties have
by their voluntary acts.created an or
ganization which the law condemns,
and one with which no man can be
connected without being answerable
to the laws of the state us u criminal.
Clearly the law will not aid them
under such circumstances. A ccurtof
equity takes them as it finds them,
and as it finds them it leaves them,
undeserving of aid and assistance in a
matter which inheres in or grows oul
of their illegal contra eta”

Washington, Kept. 0. —A long ad
dress aud appeal for funds was Issued
from the Populist headquarters to
day. In opening it declare! that it
was the first party to demand laws
against the encroachments of monop
olies and claims credit for the “revolt
of the masses of the Democratic party,
which resulted lo the turning downof
the Cleveland administration and Its
llritish financial policy and the nom
ination of William J. liryan on a plat
form demanding financial Independ
ence for the United States." It
continues:
“The mission of the party Is to re
store the government to the people.
The People's party hat nominated Mr.
liryan for President and Mr. Watson
for Vice President, which le not only
the true co-operative ticket for
the silver voters of all parties
to unite upon, but which is elso
the beet silver ticket In tbe field.
Oar friends muit not abate one
Jot or tittle of their interest or ef
forts to advance the principles of the
People's party simply because another
party has been forced to adopt nearly
all of our principle* Had it not been
for the People’# party each one of the
old parties would this year have been
running a gold bug for president as
they have m each campaign for the
past twenty year* The People’s
party has made this political revolu
tion possible, and its continued exist
ence and growth are necessary to se
cure reforms for which the Populists
and silver Democrats are alike con
tending In this campaign."
The appeal Indirectly attacks the
Republican party because it Is said to
be receiving large contributions from
trams ana monopolists ana ciosss:
“In behalf of the people of tho United
States who produce wealth and pay
taxes, the People’s party national
committee appeals to all who are able
and willing to do so to contribute tha
sum of 91 to our national campaign
fund. A prompt reaponse is urgently
requested to enable us to prosecute a
vigorous campaign In defense of our
homes and liberties that are menaced
by a combined plutocracy—-the
Rothschild—Morgan Ilanna-McKinley
combination fighting us in front
and the Bothschild-Morgan-CUvelana
Palmer combination fighting us in the
rear. Four years more of gold stand
ard and monopoly rule, with falling
prices and shrinking values, and
thousand of mortgaged homea will re
sult and thousands of laborers will be
without employment. Plutocracy is
desperate and is determined to have
a president and congres of ita
own that will Increase and use
the army to suppress bread riots
while gold grows dear and human life
f'rowa cheap. Our national committee
s doing the best it can against rich
and powerful combinations. For us
to stand any hope of winning you
must uphold ua If we eould have but
one cent for every 910 used by the
enemy we would carry on a vigorous
campaign that would mean their de
feat This is your fight. It is our fight.
Hold up our hands and we will do our
duty in the terrible struggle. Don't
wait for somebody else to move. What
is everybody’s business is nobody’s
business. Make this your business
Make this your business at once;
see several of your neighbors; try
to get each one to contribute at
least 91. If some cannot do this, then
get each one to give as much as he
can. In short, take up a subscription
in your community at once, and for
ward the amount with the names of
the contributors to Hon. M. C. Ran
kin, Terre Haute, Ind., our national
treasurer. Also, at the same time
notify your national chairman at

forwarded.

THE ARKANSAS ELECTION.
Democrats Carry the State by 50,000 ts
60,000.
Littt.k Rock, Ark., Sept. 0. — Gen
eral Dan W. Jones, of Little Rock,
was elected governor of Arkansas by
from 50,000 to 60,000 plurality, and the
entire Democratic state ticket has been
successful at the polla There were
but two full tickets in the field, the
Democratic and Republican, the Popu
lists contenting themselves with a
candidate for governor. Qeneral
Jones and Mr. Kemmel.tbe Republican
candidate, made an active canvas* of
the State, but Files, the Populist
nomines, made no speeches
The Democrats put forth special ef
forts to roll up a large majority in
this election for its morel effeot on
the free silver cause In other Statee In
November, and ante-election estimates
have pieced Jones' majority as high
as 50,000 over the combined opposition.
In Faulkner, Lafayette and other
Populist and Republican strongholds,
the Democratic county tickets ware
elected by safe majorities There was
much scratching In Fulton county,
and the probability Is that the Inde
Jiendent candidate for State Senator
o this district lies carried the county
against Hon. Jerry South, the regular
Democratic nominee.
In Little Rock Interest in the elec
tion centered on the liquor license
question. Never before in the history
of the city had there been encha cam
paign against license. The religious
element, the W. C T. U. and the min
isters especially have been busily en
gaged for more than a month In the
effort to vote down license, and were
lolned In the movement by the Repub
licans, who hoped In defeating license
to break up tbs so-called Pulaski
county Democratie ring. Two big
mass meetings were held by the Pro
hibitionists Sunday and prayer meet
ings were held every hour In all the
city churches yesterday. Enough re
turns have been received from city
polling places to Indicate that license
has carried by a small majority and
that the regular Democratic ticket in
this county has carried by about the
usual majority.
WATSON TO TEXANS.
fha Georgian Addresses a Labor Dsy
Crowd at Dallas
n ... . . rt>__ cj_a A HPl__
E. Watson of Ueorgln, vice presiden
tial pomlnee of the Populist party,
addressed a Labor day audience of
6,000 people at the fair grounds yes
terday. Watson speaks at Bonham,
Texas, to-day, and goes from there to
Kansas.
Watson pleaded with the people to
stand to the contract made between
laborers and farmers in St Louis in
1840 and the Peoples party, which
represents that contract. "McKinley
and Hobart represent the enemies of
labor and Sewall represents the same
thing,” he said. "Sewall is just the
opposite of Bryan in everything.”
fie then asked that Bewail be pulled
down and Watson substituted.
At the State convention of Texas
Populists, it was currently reported
that a deal was made whereby the
State offices should be delivered to
the Populists and ths State carried for
McKinley. Without making direct
reference to this, Watson assailed it
by saying: “Have no McKinley; his
election will sdd to the burden now
resting on labor.”
Ho sabl the present fight was the
South and West against the East,
labor against monopollea Sewall was
a national banker, a railroad king and
a leaf in the hand of capital. Hs made
an allusion to Sewall’s son's speeches
in interest of Republicans, and said
that when his son did that he would
get under the bed.
His last appeal was for Texas to
stand by Bryan and Watson and let
McKinley and Sewall alone. Os was
chtered repeatedly.

M’KINLEY TO VERMONTERS.
Remit* of tho Kereiit State Electlot
Dwelt t'pon.
Castoit, Ohio, Sept II.—At 0 o'clock
this morning the delegation of noted
Vermont Uepablicans, who had come
by epecial trains from their homes to
call on ex-Qovernor McKinley, arrived
here and was greeted with much en
thusiasm by a large crowd of people.
In the delegation were Qovernor
Woodbury, Lieutenant Oovernor Man
son, Congressman Henry H. Power*,
Senator Proctor, Qovernor-elcct Grout
and other Vermont leaders.
Major McKinley spoke ae folicws:
“I would be unjust to my own feel
ings and irresponsive to the kind
sentiments uttered by your epokee
man If I permitted to pass unobserved
the fact that In the preliminary con
test for the nomination of the presi
dent the state of Vermont gave me
her united vote. Home of the news
paper* aaued me to Interpret the result
of the elections in Vermont on Sep
tember 1, but it seems to me that they
are their own best interpreter. They
have simply declared what every
•tudent of nlstory must have dis
covered, that your thoughtful and
patriotic citlsons are a* true as ever—
are, truer than ever t6 the tenets of
good morals, and (rood politics and
good government. They have .shown
by their ballots, by s greater pre
ponderance than ever, that thev are
more devoted to the honor of the
f’overnroent. to tbf mginteganog of
aw end order, end to the restoration*
of that sound, wise and economlo
system, which has always bean our
chief pride and source of atrangth,
than at any previous period In onr
eventful history. The valua of your
example la certainly greater than aver
In the past, as the Issues on which
your victorv was won are the same
as those which now engage the atten
tion of the entire country. Therefore,
sliver orators and papers of Vermoot,
ill conceal, if they do not positively
assert, what is being claimed every
where, that their solicitude is the re
lief of those who mlgnt temporarily
profit by a degraded curraney, no
matter at what sacrifices of tho plain
est precepts of good morals. In no
caae and at no point do they propose n
vatp obligations on tha plain old
fashioned principles of good faith and
honesty which have always dis
tinguished the American people.
‘‘Practically admitting that the ef
feot of the free, unlimited and inde
pendent coinage of silver would be an
Immense loss to the savings and re
sources of our people, ana that it«
adoption would reduce the plane of
their social and industrial condition,
they yet seriously propose that wa
shall risk this hazardous experiment.
Vermont bae said in lones thatcanno$.
be misunderstood that she will have
nothing to do with that fatal experi
ment. Iqdeed, they are urging us to
attempt by legislation to make 50
cents' worUt of silver to pass current
as a legal tender 100-cent dollar,
good for all publlo and private obliga
tions The mere statement of tha
proposition ought to lead to Its instant
rejection. We esnnot by law make
every msn honest, but wa certainly
will never make a law encouraging
them to be dishonest To me tha
question of protection m b questiuu ut
humanity, the voice of labor pleading
for Its own, and the question of frea
silver is a question of public morality,
honor and good faith, and its success
would be a blot on our hitherto spot
less national credit. Obscure the real
Issues, add it finally resolves itself
Into that; but will it prevail? Mo, I
answer; forever no. The American
people, as a nation, like those of tha
State of Vermont, arc antiraly above
so unworthy an Imputation
NO FUSION IN TEXAS.
The Populist Btste Committee Denies a
Combine With Republicans.
Dallas, Tex., Sept. 12,—Tha Popu
list state executive committee, after a
day's secret session, adjourned late
last night. This morning Chair
man Bradley gave out two resolu
tions adopted by the body. The first
of these recognizes Bryan aud Watson
as the national ticket of the party and
the eeeond is a denial in to to of
Democratic newspaper charges that
have been msde throughout the state
of a deal between Republicans and
Populists to carry the state offices for
the latter and electors for McKinley.
A committee will prepare an address
to this effect
