the letter.
"As n Republican 1 believe in tho
free coinage of silver and protection

dustry I do not believe In feci' coin
age coupled with free trade, and I do
not believe that free coinage, coupled
w.th free trade, can be suecess'ully
established mid maintained by our
government The free trade policy
will render tlie establishment of bi
metallism tin utter Impossibility. Tho
attempt to sceuru freo coinage in con
junction with free trade is an Utopian
dream After looking the whole sit
uation over, it wul be found thut tliu
Republican party has not doclated in
favor of the gild standard, but in
favor of the lestoration of silver. I
llnd In this particular that it differs
from the opposition platform in the
unit t ri of method.
"I believe that the Republican party
in tins behalf Is too conservative, but
us between the acceptance of tho Re
publican party, with its conservative
expression on this subject, anil tho
Chicago platform, with its free trade,
Mate's rights, free riot and oilier ob
jectionable features. 1 find no room to
hesitate. I believe It is the clear una
unquestionable duty of the delegates
who assemble under and in conformity
Willi the forms and usages of thu Re
publican party of this State, and
as delegates representative of other
people who reside here, to place in

the entire Republican platform, ex
cept us to the feature declaring inter
national condition precedent to the
lemonetiatiou of silver. For that
declination this convention should
substitute a declaration for tho freo
coinage of gold untl silver, in the same
ma tiuer as our slate conventions have
heretofoie declaicd.
"In the future, us in the past, I
shall stand for protection and freo

I Gnivcr'of the Kansas court of ap
peals handed down an opinion yester
day in which he holds that the Kansas
City Live Stock exchange Is un illegal
body mid that eaeli member com
mitted u misdemeanor in joining the
nssociation The linn of lireer, Mills
A, Co , of Kansas t ity, Ktin , belonged
to tliu association and was convicted
of accepting lower commissions than
wcru iceognized under the rules of
the exchange. A lino of fcl.OuO was
imposed which the (inn refused to pay
and brought suit to prevent suspen
sion. The ease was tried in tlie Wyan
dotte county district court on an ap
plication for Injunction ami the decis
ion was ugaiiHl (ireer, Mills .x. in.
This decision Is now -j llii mod by thu
court of appeals.
.Judge (iarver holds that all combi
nations and associations of persons
formed in this Mate for the pin pose
of imposing an uuieasonable testtaiiit
upon the exercise of tuide or business
are unliiwlul and void, as against pub
lic policy and contrary to the statutes
of the Mate. A court of equity, lie de
clines, will not lend lis mil to a mem-
i ber of sued unlawful association to en
able him to let, mi Ins membership
therein or to restrain the association
from suspending or expelling him
theicfrom for a violation. of lis ille
gal rules and bylaws. lie holds in
effect that the association was organ
ized in violation of law, one of the te
suits of the organization being to
prevent competition among tnose en
gaged in the live stock commission
business nud to enable mciubcis to
maintain uniform minimum prices for
their services, such objects being ex
pressly prohibited uy chapter '.j" of
the laws of Ibs'.i.
In closing .lodge (Iarver says; "It
is clear that any order of judgment,
whether for the plaintiffs or defend
ants, which the court could render in
tins case, would not eliminate from
the exchange Uie obnoxious uy laws.
So far as their action is concerned
they will remain without change.
The organization Itself will continue
willi unimpaired ability to violate the
law ami witli impuuiiy to trample
upon public interests. A membership
therein, after tlie judgment of this
court is rendered, will be as much
within tlie prohibition of the statutes
as it was before. These parties have
by their voluntary nets, created an or
ganization which the law condemns,
and one witli wined no man can bo
connected without being answerable
to the laws of the statu us a criminal.
Clearly the law will not aid them
under such cli cumstanccs. A ccurtol
equity takes them as it finds them,
anil as it tiuds idem It leaves tiictii,
undescrvinp ot aid ami assistance in a
miller which inheres In or glows out
of their illegal contracts."
An application for a rehearing has
been tiled by Albert II. Iloitou, at

Kansas Cm v. Mo. Sept. :!. This
afternoon, after a Hireling of tlie di
rectors of the live stock exchange,

This action means that tho firm is de-
buried from all tlie privileges o
membership in the exchange. All
members of the exchange who arc in people would not consent to my com
good standing aro debarred from ini,' off the ticket. I he surest way to
ttnding with H under penalty of SI.OOO defeat Rryiin is to disrupt the silver
fine and forfeiture of membciship.
All thu packing houses belong to the

ped only for hasty handshakes and
'nasteued on to Mr. Watson's room,
where he went into executive session
witli Mr. Watson mid Mr. Reed.
The local committee bad announced
that the speech would be made in the
afternoon, hut Mr. Watson vetoed
that and said he would sneak in thu
forenoon, as soon after !U o'clock as
possible.
Mr. Watson began speaking to about
l.'.OU people, who sat in front of liliu
in the grand stand, sheltered from thu
sun's rays tiy a loof. It was an audi
ence mostly of farmers and their
wives and daughters As tlie speaker
progressed others arrived by train and
team, and before he bad closed L'.UUU
persons wcie present
Mr. Ilrchlcntliul was made chairman
of the meeting ami introduced Mr.
Watson as the champion of tlie people.
Mr. Watson began by reviewing tho
history of the People's party, from Its
inception, saving that the "West and
the South, the great agricultural .sec
tions of the country, had joined hands
in the gieat work of securing the
rights of tlie people. The West should
stand by the South as the South lias
stood by the West, 'I ho tune lias not
come for the People's party to dio.
(Cries of 'No, .No.') You of the West
told us of tlie great evil the existing
trauspoi tutioti system was putting
upon the country .'For (Sod's sake don't
desert the People's party now, when
the givat work has been fairly begun.
We of the South still believe tn that
docttiui of reform and so should you.
So do you. Don't make any mistake,
The evil that we stinted out to reform
is as great now as it was then. I
come to you with a message from tho
South tlfat we arc in tins fight to stay
until we shall have won. Is thu
West still with us'.' Thank Hod, I sec
It in the faces of these honest men
and women of Kansas that you are
still firm in the faith."
Then tlie speaker attacked Presi
dent Cleveland au.l his position on the
money question and spoke of dear
money and its cause.
(telling to his nomination for Vice
Pics'i'cnt Mr. Watson said amid ap
plause: "I was nominated unanimous

The Democrats and Populists ought to
unite. The ticket ought to bo the St.

and Watson, the PopulUt. I say that's
no surrender; it is a fair compromise."
The speaker then discussed the sit
