Ike Pizer, a negro, was hanged by a mob at Shreveport, La, Mon- day morning, for insulting white Jadies. Mayor Davis captured the Kansas City delegation to the state conven- tion.

Mr. makes serious these charges over his own signature in the Washington Post, and McKin- ley’s friends are not making any very great effort to disprove them. Here is a national leader in the republican party making the serious charge that the stupendous sum of a quar- ter million dollars is contributed by the protected industries for the nomination alone of the man whose name carries with it the high pro- tection idea. If they will contrib- ute that much for his nomination, what enormous sums we may look for to corrupt the voters of the land and secure his election, and yet the American people are persuaded by the republican party that the labor ing man isthe beneficiary of the protective tariff system. Then these manufacturers are great philanthro pists, donating these immense sums for the advancement of the laboring man? How many of our readers believe that? McKinley will be nominated because the owners of the protected industries want him. Then if they can elect him the cam- paign contributions, large as they are, will be but a bag-atel to the enormous profits they will reap from the consumers of their manu factured goods. McKinley is the logical candidate of the republican party and the democrats will gladly accept the guage of battle. Louisiana will be the first state to speak. Her state election will occur the third Tuesday in April. A full state ticket will be elected from gov- ervor down. Governor M. J. Foster heads the democratic ticket and John N. Pharr, that of the republi- can-populist, a combine of the re- publicans and populists. Senator Blanchard, who has just returned from Louisiana to Washington, pre- dicts democratic success by from 40,000 to 50,000 majority. The Sen- ator said, “The democratic leaders in the state were wiser and ehrewder politicians than those in Kentucky. The latter state was lost to the dem ocracy solely because the money question, a national issue was inject- ed as the leading issue in a purely state election. It divided and dis- tracted the party. In Louisiana we kept it out; we refused to draw the line of the money question on candi- dates for the party nominations from constable to governor. The result is that silyer democrats and gold standard democrats are united in support of the ticket. Last week the republicans of the Fifteenth Distriet met at Joplin and Tenominated congressman C. G. Burton, of Nevada, without opposi- tion. Returning home frem the con vention in an interview he said: “On the money question I think party this fall as it has not been anited in years and will make the state campaign the hottest on rezord. They propose to do this by nominat- img for governor, Daniel Lamont, present secretary of war. r= The republican state central com- mittee which met in St. Louis Fri- day decided to hold two state con- ventions. The first to select dele- gates to the national convention will be held at St. Joseph, May 12th. The second, to nominate candidates for state officers will be held at Springfield, July 22d. A poll of the eommittee showed that all were for McKinley for firat choice. SS meee Ex.Congressman Frank, of St. Louis, who refused a renomination for congress on the republican tick- et, and has just returned from Wash- ington City, in an interview in a St. Louis paper has this to say of Mr. Filley, the republican boss of Mis- seuri: “Filley has no standing with the national politicians of the repub liecan party. Filley is an incubus: he is the old man of the sea around the vepublican Sinbad’s neck. He is an excrescence the republican party of Missouri bas to carry.

I understand McKinley stands fora liberal coinage of silver. “As for myself, I was nominated on a platform fer the free coinage of American silver, which means a pro- spectiye duty on foreign products. That represents my views and I shall make my campaign upon the issue of free coinage of American silver.” Congressman Burton talks one way in the Fifteenth District and votes another way in congress. The Judge ought to be honest with his constituency and when he plays his supporters for fools, with the decoy of American free coinage, a proposition he well knows would not be entertained in con- gress, he ought to be left at home. eEQeQQe It is said in sending the republi- can state nominating convention to Springfield, Mr. Filley has s scheme to leave out Webster Davis, Mayor Waldridge and Maj.
