ences to the Knnsns Populist Jliule
the Hit of Ohio League Convention.
Zanesville, Ohio, Feb. 19 William
A. White is one of the litoiaiy pioducts
of the j ear. Ho came into fame duting
the last campaign in Kansas, not so
much" In a political senso as In a lltoi
ary seiibe. His stoiles of Kansas life
are as clear cut and incisive as nie
Kipling's .stories of Anslo-Indl.ui life.
The speech which he lecently deliveied
it the Ohio Republican league In this
ity poitrajs his stle peifectly. It
iv as as follows:
Theie is a song which some of you
iiaj have lieaid, which begins:
0 potatoes they glow small, out In Kan
sas, And they oat them tops and all, out in
Kansas.
Theie aie forty-throe stanzas to tills
ballad, and the buiden of the song is
that Kansas is about the thlity-thlid
degieo In the lodge of the Royal Aich
Demon, and that a man, nftei going
through tho whole sibling infetno, is
tent to Kansas to got homesick foi
hades. That songcontainssovei.il im
poitunt onois. In the Hist place we do
not eat them tops and all, out In Kansas.
We eat them mashed with chicken gin
vy and fried -with ham giavy, just ns
you do here in Ohio. In the second
place wo do not hae to fill our wells
with lock to keep them fiom blowing
away; nor do we tiim the claws of the
Kansas catfish to prevent them tiom
sciatchlng the bark off the trees In diy
wathor. Neither do wo .send our ab
stract to Missouri so that the giass
hoppois -will not destroy the title to the
land. These aie popular delusions
which hurt Kansas. And of late a now
delusion has sptead thtough the coun
tty to tho effect that the Populists ate
on. the icservatlon killing plutociats
out of season and contiary to law.
Those things being pievalent belief
make the street car hotsos laugh till
their skies hurt when they see u man
fiom Kansas.
IS UNTAIR.
This is unfair. Kansas is n little
nueet at time, but so are Indiana and
Illinois for that matter. Rut Just be
cause four or five Kansas congiessmen
have the lumpy Jaw jou should not in
fer that wo mow tails and tun wild
with the buffalo. When Mi. Alger of
Illinois began to see tilings and talk
to himself you gentlemen didn't believe
that the citizens of Chicago all walked
backwatds to keep thelt tt onsets fiom
bagging ut the knees Because Igna
tius Donnelly scrambled ills bialns with
the wheels in his head no one ever
thought of putting Minnesota in the
violent watd. Because Jones of Ai kan
sas hold on! It hasn't got so fai yet
that a Kansas man has to defend Ai
kansas in order to stand up foi Kansas,
Wo will have to dtaw the line some
vvhoie, and Arkansas Is a. good place
to begin.
1 have been invited here to tell you
what Is the matter with Kansas, and I
have come neatly J.000 miles in tho
middle of winter to say thnt theie Is
absolutely nothing tho matter with
Kansas. There has been something tho
matter with Kansas a good deal the
matter with Kansas. The devil has
been to pay out in Kansas, but ho lias
been paid In lOU-cent dollars. And that
account seems to bo closed. The host
way to explain to you what lias been
the matter with Kansas Is to recall a
story of Uncle Chester Thomas, who

father died when Geoige was eleven
yeaia old, and George, after picking

The old man was laicly dlstutbed, but
one time, when the leformeis gave
him the fight of his life In Topeku, he
lost his head. That was the campaign
In which the old man told the cohoits
to "Chui fci 'em bos, chur fei 'cm,
but vote agahi 'em." It was election
day when the old man had been quietly
circulating around the polls, distribut

sake send someone down to the Foutth
waid; them idiots theie have been for
thiee hours voting just as they damn
please."
CAUSE Or THE TROUBLE.
That's principally what's the mattei
with Kansas. We haven't been able
until last fall to vote as we pleased
as we damn please, If ou ptefer the
Latin. Foi six or seven jeais Kansas
has been under the spell of the dema
gogues. Tiom 1S90 to 1S91 all patties

my lot Into their platfoims You gtn
tlemon hero In Ohio have doubtless
noticed with constei nation what tads,
what foollsms, what tank nonsense
have passed cm tent for Republicanism
at one time oi another out In Kansas
When Jeiry Simpson tan for congtess
the ill st time the Republicans in ills
dlstilct stole his platfotm bodllv ivil
then absolved the Republican nominee
fiom the duty of abiding by the house
caucus Tho people couldn't ote as
they pleased. They had to choose the
loss violent of two lunatics. Foi yeais
a ctowd of fellows dominated the Re
publican paitj In Kansas, whose motto
was "Molasses catches moie tiles than
vinegai." As n lesult the state plat
fotm wns moie aftoi a fl tiap than a
declaiatlon of Republican piinclples.
These gentlemen saw that Kansas was
built on the instalment plan, to bo paid
for in small monthly paj nients They
pleached a bogus way out of debt, be
cause they believed that It was a sine
way into office. They used to tip toe
around among the delegates at com en-
tions telling them what was the
' smooth thins" to put in the plat
form. These political economists of the
soft soap school would stand pioudly
on a platfotm lecommeudlng moon
shine as a legal tender, Indoislng as
tiology, declailng for blue glass and
thebatefoot cute, pledging the pait to
vegetal lanlsm and whooping It up foi
the fiee nnd unlimited (olnage of flap
doodle. Think of vv hat Kansas escaped
with these ghost dancois leading the
consetvatlvo party for half a doen
jeais. The wonder Is not that the
state went for Biyin, but that It did
not go foi the Rev. Ill Hicks and
Geoige Fiancls Ti.iin,
When the national Republican paity
last fall demanded honor and coin
age fiom its men, the mebeis of this
"smooth thing" gang in Knnsau ot
ganUed themselves Into a phalanx that
came tumbling head ovei heels into the
Populist paity They left Kansas to
vote as she pleased. And when the
people weie sine that these lllin-llam

latgest Republican vote eei polled
slcne the days when Kansas was the
bannet Republican state in the Union

few thousand otes short of liotse sense
Is a long Jump, but Kansas made It.
The people weie so glad to get a
chance to vote ns they pleased, to face
an honest Issue squarely, to see the
slimy old bainacles scraped off the Re
publican ship, they weie so glad to find
a patty above Its politicians, that they
piled up a Republican vote which was
defeated by a nniiow mm gin only by
the ttlplo alliance of gteed, anaicliy
and colic. They can't beat us again,
for money, marbles or chalk.
KANSAS IS ALL RIGHT.
That is why I came so far to toll you
that Kansas is all right. Don't vvoity
