West McHenry, April 21, 1897. fi®"The impatient ones should read the following paragraph taken from McKin- ley'B inaugural address: It will take some time to restore the prosperity of former years. If we cannot promptly attain it we can resolutely turn our faces in that direction and aid its return by friendly legislation. How­ ever troublesome the situation may ap­ pear, Congress will not, I am sure, be founddack&g in disposition or ability to relieve'it eo far as legislation can do 60. The restoration of confidence and the revival of business, which men of all parties so much desire, depend mors largely upon the prompt energetic and t intelligent action of Congrelsthan upon any other single agency affecting the situation." VSP" The Topeka (Kansas) Democrat. a Democratic newspaper through and through, which supported Bryan last year, now fully sees the imbecility of further alliance with Populism. It in­ sists that the Democrats of Kansas u cut loose from the festering corpse of the People's party." "We should profit by experience," it says. "The Demo­ cratic party did not win in the late presidential campaign because it took too heavy a load at Chicago on its plat­ form- Capital is proverbially timid. The business interests of the country took* alarm at the revolutionary plat: form. It was a clear case of'biting off more than they could chew.' The result Should serve as a warning, The popu- lis£ party is doomed. It will never com- ^mand the£^confidence of the people. If the Democratic •National convention in 1900 shall repeat the blunder of 1896, in laying down a platform to catch Pop­ ulist votes, we believe it will meet with even a greater disaster at the polls than , it,did last November," Evidently the people of Kansas are coming to their peaaeti.
