Frslon Mniingciiient in Kansas Will
try to Disfranchise Colored
Topeka, Oct. 10. Hellablo informa
tion has been received at Republican
stato headquarters that tho fusionlsts
will endeavor to disenfranohiso the
negro voters of Kansus on election
duy. Tho reports to that effect are
coming in from several sections of
Kansas, so that the movement seems
to bo general. Tho following letter
from W. C. Buck, secretary of tho
Republican commlttco of Nemaha
county, is a fair samplo of tho cntlro
lot:
"Morton Albnugh, Chairman.
"Dear Sir: Tho Democrats hero
say that tho negroes In Kansas have
no right to vote, and that they pro
pose to bar them from voting hero on
election day. Plenso advlsomowhat
to do to protect tho rights of tho col
ored voters."
Similar Information has boon re
ceived from Wyandotto, Graham,
Bourban, Douglas and Sedgwick
counties, centers of colored popula
tion. Having been unnblo to corral tho
colored vote, tho fusion managers
now propose to adopt South Carolina
methods and prevent tho colored citi
zens fiom voting.
Tho Democrats claim that, under
section 1, artlclo V. of tho stato con
stitution, colored males tiro barred
from voting. That section reads:
"Kvery (white) male person of 21
years and upwards who shall havo re
sided in Kansas six months next pro
ceding any election, and In tho town
ship or ward in which ho oilers his
voto ut least thirty days next preced
ing such election shall bo deemed a
qualified voter."
ThoKansas constitution was adopted
in 18.1H and went into operation in
18(11. Sinco then tho fifteenth amend
ment to tho federal constitution has
been adopted and, as a note to tho
section quoted abovo in Webb's gen
eral statutes of Kansas, tho author
says: "The word 'white' In section
one became Inoperative by tho forco
of tho lifteenth amendment to tho con
stitution of tho United Stntes, which
took effect March !), 187!)."
Chnli inun Albnugh, of tho Republi
can stato committee, ridicules tho
schemo hatched by tho fusion mana
gers to shut out tho colored voto.
"Of course, tho fusion manipulators

Story g Answer to tlio American
l'ollticlairs Denial.
Chicago, Oct. 18. Douglas Story,
tho correspondent for tho London
Mall who mado tho original charge
that Webster Davis received $I2,",0()0
from tho Boors, In a second artlclo
which U cabled tho Chicago Tribuno,
answers Davis's denial. Mr. Story
also'oablcs an independent statement,
which Is as follows:
"My statement published In tho
Dull Mail that Webster Davis receiv
ed from tho Transvaal government a
bribe of 912,000 to organize a pro
Boer agitation has drawn from that
politician a denial. Witnesses can
be placed In the bov to prove that'Davis
received tho sum I stato for the pur
pose I stute.
"Davis says It would havo been im
possible for him to carry -100 pounds
weight out of the country. I hav o not
stated to tho countrary. Ho did not
carry his makings in gold. At tho be
ginning of tho war tho Transvaal gov-ernmcnthnd-J
(50,000 pounds ( ?2,.'i00,000)
at its credit in tho Bank of Holland.
To that sum frequent deposits wero
subsequently made. A check on tho
bank, or on Dr. Loyds, or on the Neth
erlands Railway company, would not
havo overtaxed Davis's transport
capacity.
"Thosearoallthopolntscontalned in
Webster Davis's denial as retltdnd
here. Everyone of them is Irrelcvan
and all without foundation In fact.
AS TO THE liOEtl DENIAL.
'To Davis's sldo comes Van Boes
choten, secretary of tho Transvaal le
gation at Brussels, who says my state
ment is an absolute calumnv. Von
Booschoten was not in tho Transvaal
at any tlmo during the period covered
by my charges.
"Ho says Kruger sawllttlo of Davis.
I never suit! ho saw him at all. My
statement was that daily Davis was
recolved in secret audience in tho exec
utive chamber of tho government build
ing. Webster Davis arrived in tho
Transvaal on Wednesday, January 24.
Ho loft for Natal with Stato Attornev
Smuts tho Monday following, Janu
ary 21). Ho icturned to Ptetoria on
February fi and finally left the (Trans-
vaal two days later, after a fortnight's
sojourn.
WHERE MONEY WAS PAN).
Investigation brought out tho fact
that 'K'ljOOO was paid to Hargrove, an
Englishman, to support pro-Boer agi
tation; '."OO to Smit, a railway com
missioner; an annuity to Reulnald
Stathan, an Englishman, to write pro
Boer articles for tho British press;
and a loan of$U0,000) to Messrs. Men
dolssohnaud Bruce, tho latter an Eng
lishman, to publish pro-Boor urticloi
In the Standard and Digger News.
"If Webster Davis can get A S.
Hav, United States consul at Pre
toria; Mr. Stowe, consul general at
Capo Town, or tho American attaches
with tho forces In South Africa, or
Secretary ofStuto Hay to attest to
his bona lidos, his refutation may do
sorvo attention."
TRIED TO 11RII1E CONSUL STOWE.
The London Mail this morning pub
lishes tho following from Mr. Stor.v:
"Senatoi Ilatiua, If hodosiiesto look,
will find in tho t coords of the stato do
pat tment at Washington conclusivo
proof that Ilollis, tho American con
sul at Lauroiio Marques, bought con
traband stoics for tho Boers during
tho war, that Maerum, lato American
consul at Pictoria, was in tho pay of
tho Transvaal government; that Con
sul General Stowo at Capo Town was
Insulted with an oiler to bribe, and
that Webster Davis recolved $125,000,
Maerum 57o,000 and Montaguo White
1 million dollars to raiso tho pro
Boer agitation in tho United States.
"When Wobster Davis left Pretoria
ho gave expression to this prognnnt
remark: 'IJ am prepared to forfeit
my placo In tho government If Presi
dent McKtnloy doos not consent to do
justlco to tho Boors.' A fortnight bo
foro this ncody and ambitious solid
tor had never soon a Boer, was abso
lutely ignorant of Boor hopes, Boer
aims und Boor policy, and did not
know what constituted justlco to tho
Boers. Tho recollection of his spcoch
at Capo Town brings ablush to tho
cheok of every American there
today."

Uiiedeiitlml's Letter Writing UriiigH
Trouble Expressed Himself
Freely Ycnift Ago
Topeka, Oct. 10. Ono of tho most
effective campaign documents which
has fallen into tho hands of the Re
publicans this, y cur is a letter written
by John W. Breldenthal, fusion noinl
neo for governor, which mudo Its ap
pearance today. In It ho makes a
vicious assult upon tho foreign rosld
dents of Kansas and also upon tho
coloted population.
As Is well known, Biiedcnthal's
long suit ii letter writing. It has got
him Into trouble .mnnj times In the
past; it has got him Into trouble again
now. The letter which will caue him
much embarrassment this campaign
was written to a friend In Pennsylva
nia, In response to a letter in which
the friend had evidently dejHored tho
fact that Kansas went for Bryan and
Populism in 'Oil, Biiedcnthal's letter
.vas dated December 10, 1800. That
was just after tho election, and ho was
freo to express his real sentiments.
Ho was so proud of his reply to his
Pennsylvania friend that ho hnd his
stenographer make a number of
copies of it and send them to Ills per
sonal friends throughout tho state.
Ono of his friends was Dr. Anna Kni
berg, at that time a resident of 217
West Fifth street, Topeka, but now of
Chctopa, Kansos. The other day, in
somo unnecountublo manner, sho lost
tho copy sent her by Breldenthal, and
it has como into tho hands of the Re
publicans. In tho letter, Breldenthal gloats
over tho fact that tho Peoplo's party Is
not mado up of tho "ignorant and
vicious elements in our State, as for
Instance, tho colored population, and
again the vicious foreign element."
He says that Kansas City, Kansas, is
a "den of iniquity," and that tho
"vicious and un-American classes"
kept Bryan's majority down to 12,000.
Ills denunciation of the colored pop
ulation nnd the "ignorant foreign
element" will not tend to help him in
his canvass this vear.
fter insulting the foreign dement
andjtlie colo red population, Bieiden
thai went on with some other observa
tions in his twelve page letter to his
Pennsylvania friend. Ho denounced
tho "Iniquitous Em oiican financial
policy which compelled Kansas farm
ers to sell corn tit ten cents a bushel,"
declaied that people who think pros-
petit can be icitoted by stinting fac
tories are densely ignornnt; claimed
that it was absolutely Impossible for
tho people of a gold standard country
to be prosperous and happy, and then
admitted that thero Is one decent and
honest Populist olllcial in Kansas and
that hi-, name is Breldenthal. Ho in
sinuates that tho other Populists
olllcials ate till crooked.
Extracts from this most Interesting
letter follows:
"YOU AND I KNOW TH VT A LARC1E
MAJORITY Or THE SOI1EII, INDUSTRIOUS
HOME OWNERS' 01' KANSAS 1IELONC) TO

"Outsldo of the cities and towns
Bt'janhad u majority of over .10.000
in Kansas, but the Ignornnt and
vicious un-American classes cut down
this magnificent majority obtained
among Intelligent people who icsldc
in tho country nnd rural districts,
where the atmosphero is untainted
with tho poison and venom of such
dens of Iniquity as Kansas City, Kan
sas, to a fraction over 12,000."
"How long, oh, Lord, how long,
will men who wero given an inheri
tance lit for a king and who might bo
tho most intellicent peoplo on tho faco
of tho earth, contlnuo to submit to tho
rule of tho ignorant asses, Instead of
tho intelligent masses ?
Tho greatost troublo now with Kan
sas is tho fact that, as a result of tho
damnable, vicious, European finan
cial policy, tho products of her soil
have been reduced in prico until thoy
will not pay tho cost of production.
Think of Jowoll county, raising 10,
000,000 bushels of corn, and bolng
compolled to sell It at 10 conts per
bushel. I talked with a Jowoll county
land owner tho other day on tho
train, who told mo that It cost him 0
cents per bushol to havo his corn
gathered and marketed; that ho sold
It for 10 conts, giving him 4 cents por
bushol not for corn. That thoso in
tho East who nro traducing Kunsns
assist In Inaugurating a policy that
will glvo tho Kansas farmer a fair
return for tho products of his soil,
and in flvo years sho will pay off
ovory obligation sho owos Eastorn

other hand, do you not know that In
every slnglo gold standard country
labor is reduced to Its lowest depths ?
Tako Italy, Austria, or any other
country ! There tho solo subsistence
of the laboring people consists of
soup mado by shaving hard brc vv i
bread into a bowl and pouring over
it boiling water and seasoning it with
popper and salt. Each member of tho
family, joung and old, wltbaladlo
or spoon, stands around this bowl
eating of this wholesome, luxurious
'repast. This Is repeated tlirco timos
per day. If this Is what the peoplo
who advocate 'honest money' doslro
to see in the United States, why
scould wo expect different results in
tills country than have been obtained
in every other country where tills
policy has been put into practice?"
"Wo boast of our intelligence, and
we aro intelligent, so far as not being
Illiterate, but a better term would bo
to say that wo aro educated. At tho
same time wo lire woefully ignorant
of thoso common, fundamental princi
ples of government, which must bo un
derstood by tho people of any coun
try before wo can obtain any degree
of prosperity. We have been satisfied
with getting together on tho Fourth of
July each year and listening to tho
oratory of distinguished gentlemen,
who proclaim that wo are tho groutcst
and smartest peoplo on earth, while
tho peoplo of other nations, though
not hnving any day to eelobrate,
or any day in which thoy can got to
gether nnd ongngo In any personal
laudations of theirachelvements, hnvo
mado steady progress toward a condi
tion of nlfarls under which any man
who is willing to do his fair share of
labor, can surround himself and his
family with all tho necessaries and
comforts of life.
"With reference to tho abuse of
Kansas becoming nauseating, and tho
probable elfeet Its continuation will
havo on mo politically, I want to say
that thero is a great Held for labor In
this direction In tho East. Tho peoplo
who think that you can restoro pros
perity by starting factories aro so
densely Ignorant that tho first work to
be done will bo of a klndorgurten
character, and should you need any
kindergarten teachers, Kansas Is pre
pared to furnish them by tho score
To my mind it is simply upalllng that
any considerable number of intelligent
people would accept this theory. It
must bo apparent to you that factories
must start as a result of prosperity, as
a result of tho demand; created for
their products by leason of tho peo
ple being employed at good wages
and receiving for the products Jof tho
toll good prices, thereby enabling
them to purchase more clothing, more
food'and moro of all tho comforts and
necossarios of life, and that, when the
factories. aro started in this manner,
their starting will bo salutary and
will bo hailed with joy by tho yeoplo.
But the idea of starting u' factory in
order to ereato prosperity, when tho
sholves in every establishment through
out our ontiro country aro breaking
with the goods, many of wh'ch aro
shelf worn because of tho inability of
the people to purchase, is ridiculous.
"Looking back over a somowhut
eventful career, I can sco many points
whoro I might havo done dltlcrently,
In lov of tho light possessed nt this
time. For Instance, I do not know
that I would have dovoted a good
portion of my time and considerable
money for tho last twenty years en
deavoring to bring about a changed
condition of affairs for the peoplo
who do not appear to want a change,
but, on tho other hand, I might havo
pursued a course which would havo
resulted In classing mo along with tho
so called respectableelement of society,
rather than being classed with tho
anarchists and rcpudiators.
"I am ploased to say that I havere
colved very courteous troatment at the
hands of tho Financier, a financial
paper of Now York city. Mr. C. A,
Hazen, associate editor, concludes a
recent lottor as follows: 'Hoping
that tho rumors of your approaching
election to tho United Statos senator
ship will bo confirmed as to acertainty
before many months, and congratula
ting you in advance on that probabil
ity, wo remain, etc.' By this it would
appear that I havo been able to con
vinco ono New Yorker that thero la at
least ono Populist holding olllcial
position in Kansas who does not ro
lled unfavorably upon tho stato."
