TOO MUCH FOR MR. DUFFY. | As “The Times” Said He Would, He Leaves The Populist Ticket. here Was Too Much A. P. A. and Too Little of the Peopie’s Party for the Labor Leader to Stand—His Letter of Withdrawal—The His Fellow Candidates Took sdansas City Times, 25. Over a month since The Times announced that Peter E Duffy. the well known labor ty ‘or the Legislature, was disgusted with the manner in which his fellow partisans had sold out tothe A P A., and would withdraw from the ticket. This was promptly and with some show of indignation denied at the time, but Mr. Duffy yesterday sent this letter to the various labor organizations. The letter explains itself: Tro Member of Organized Labor of Jackson County. Brothers: by the convention held recently at Independence of the People’s party as its candidate from the Fourth district for the State Legislature, I now feel it incumbent upon myself to withdraw from the present con- test, and desire to briefly state my reasons for so doing: At the time of my nomination it was my firm belief that the only re- quirement necessary for a candidate to possess was a faithful adherence to the principles enunciated in the platform adopted by the national People’s party convention at Omaha, which declares for the fullest and broadest liberty to all citizens, re- g@ardless of race, color or creed, but since that time it bas transpired that other tenets entirely antagonis- tie to said platform have been inject- ed into the movement in Jackson county, aud I have discovered, after @ thorough investigation, that the so-called People’s party of said county is but an adjunct of the un- American institution known as the American (?) Protective Association. At least two thirds of the candidates en this ticket have subscribed to the following oath, which in itself would set at naught the glorious principles of the national People’s party. “I do most solemuly promise and sawear that I will not allow anyone a member of the Roman Catholic church to become a member of this order, knowing him to be such, that T will use my influence to promote the interests of all Protestants, everywhere in the world; that I will aot employ a Roman Catholic in any capacity if I can procure the services of a Protestant; that I will not aid in building or in maintaining by any +resources any Roman Catholic church or institution of their sect or creed whatsoever. but will do all in my power to retard and break down the power ofthe Pope; that I will not enter into any controversy with a Roman Catholic upon the subject of this order, nor will I enter into any agreement with a Roman Catholic to strike or create a disturbance where- by the Roman Catholic employes may undermine and substitute the Protestante: that in all grievances I will seek only Protestants and coun- sel with them, to the exclusion of all Roman Catholics, and will not make known to them anything of any na- ture matured at such conference; that I will not countenance the nomination in any caucus or conven- tion of a Roman Catholic for any Office in the gift of the American people, and that I will not vote for, nor counsel others to vote for any Roman Catholics; that I will endeay- or at all times to place the political positions of this government in the :hands of Protestants.
