The republicans will just miss carrying this state by 50,000 ona geld platform. That was an insult in the McKinley managers to ask Reed to take sec- ond place on the ticket. The delegates to the Chicago con- vention will have trouble in finding hotel accommodations. The St. Louis Star is making it uncomfortably hot for Boss Filley and his methods of running the re- publican party. Helen. Gould contributed ten thousand dollars to the St. Louis sufferers. The brewers association gave $50,000. The populists made a mistake in the day for holding their convention. There were more people in town Monday than Saturday. That speech of Senator Vest put- ting Bland in nomination at Chicago will be ‘the effort of his life. He will tripple plate that convention. MeKinley will gain the republican | nomination by keeping mum on the money question, but how will it be when election time rolls around. After the election in Noyember the Globe Democrat will reiterate: Too much McKinleyism, tariff, too much nigger an gold did it _—_—_———— too much d too much North Dakota sends a solid free, silver delegation to Chicago. Up to the very time of hold tion North Dakota w the gold party. ing the conven- claimed by in Kentucky has settled the silver and gold controversy. Chieago, nom’ Now on to inate Bland, upon to do the rest in November. The fowls of the air have nests, the foxes have holes, but the “coon” delegate to the St. Louis convention hath not where to lay his head. The Globe-Democrat represents McKinley coming to St. Louis in the midst of a cyclone, a twister.) Both are destructive to the country and in Novamber the people will prepare their ballots to avoid aca | lamity. —— Since Kentucky elected her nation- |al delegates the eastern papers have | suddenly realized that the silver! | question is something more than a |fad, a craze. McKinley could have | given them pointers long ago for he \has been sniffing the southern and | western breeze. Col. Henry Watterson hae one consolation. passing free silver resolutions, hiss maining silent on that of John G. Carlisle, he was having a glorious good time over in Europe drinking high wines at the banquet tables of the English. Webster Davis has opened up headquarters at Kansas City and says he is in it for governor. Well he had just as well make a fool of himself again as the man that heads the ticket. The next governor of Missouri will be a 16 to 1 democrat and will open up permanent head- quarters at Jefferson City for the next four years. Representative Livingston, of Georgia, says: “I do not pretend to speak for any other state, but the democrats of Georgia do not know how to bolt the regular ticket, and we are not going to learn at the coming election. If we are outvoted in the convention we will return home and support the nominee, and we expect the other fellows to do likewise.” The populist convention Saturday was the slimmest gathering of the party on a similar occassion ever held in this city. One of the notice- able feature of the convention was the absenee of the old leaders and advisors who have heretofore steer- ed the rudder and put life inte the party and brains into the convention proceedings. Of the old leaders only Atkison and Judge Phillips were present. P.H. Holcomb, the new convert, was on the ground floor purely in his own behalf. a Judge Jas. B. Gantt, of the su- preme court, is being importuned by democrats from all sections of the state to become a candidate for governor. He received a petition of 600 names from Kansas City. Judge Gantt is very popular in this county; has never failed to carry it in the past, and was twice honored in that respect over home candidates. He will make a strong candidate if he concludes to run, and would make a governor the state would be proud of. Where was DeArmond when the house voted to over ride the presi- dent’s veto of the river and harbor bill? We fail to find his name on the list of those who “sat on” the presi- dent. Thirty nine democrats voted to over ride the veto, and twenty- six republicans voted to sustain the president—Butler Free Press. He was at the bedside of his/| dying brother, and you knew it, Atkeson. Such dirty contemptible | While Kentucky was) ing the name of Cleveland and re-; ' 1 Henry county has 2 candidate for | a state office on the democratic ticket | \in the person of W. C.

Mr. Bro-| naugh is one of the largest farmers, and stock dealers in Henry county, / is vice president of the ex coafeder ate home for the sixth district, and} ‘no one who knows him will doubt | for one minute his competency to| fill the responsible position, hie standing as a democrat or his integ- lrity as a citizen. He has many warm friends in this county who will be glad to assist him in his po- |litical ambition. William McKinley will be nomi- jnated at the national republican conveation, which convenes ig St. Louis next week. He is a one-idea man and owes his present popular- ity with his party to the prominence he took in preparing and passing the highest protective tariff measure ever adopted by any country and which bill assumed bis name, and caused the defeat of his party by the biggest popular majority known to our national elections. It looks like flying in the face of fate and a flagrant disregard for the opinions of the voters of the country for the republican party to place this man at the head of its ticket. But the American people will pass on the man as they did on the measure. ATKISON’S DOUTRINE. Not long since ina voting comtest for the office of President among Populists Senator Allen of Nebraska was by a large majority the choice for ~omination. He made a speech in the United States Sen- ate last Saturday that will eternally damn Thos. H. Swope, a millionaire of Kansas City, has deeded to that city for a park 1313 acres of land on the Blue river, four miles south east of the city limits. Its topography is said to be exceptionally titted fora park and it is valued at about $200,- 000 The business men’s league of St | Louis have made a demand on the hotels of the city that the negro del- egates to the national republican convention be treated the same as | of, accommodations. That's right, there | the white delegates in the way should be no diserimiation in this convention against the negro, if he’s; good enough to be «a delegate, then he should not be debarred from the} table, or bed oceupied by the white brother. The prediction of Speaker Reed that this would be a do nothing con- gress has not been yerified as the | records show it to be one of the most recerd. The approiations made and to be made at the winter session will put it in the lead by many mil- lions of Reed’s billion dollar con gress. If this was a do nothing con- gress deliver the country from again falling into the clutches of the re-| publican party and a congress that will do something. Mr. Cleveland vetoed the general deficiency appropriations bi!l on Sat- urday morning. One of the principal reasons for his action being the French epoilation claims, which has been before our congress for nearly one hundred years. Presidents Polk and Pierce each used his veto power on similar bills to this and their him in the estimation of all true populists. We had great confidence in the ability of Sen- ator Allen; but since reading that speechin the congressional record we have no further use for him; and he may as well get into one of the old metal parties and be done with it. He evidently is no populist, and has not sense enough to declare the cardinal doctrines of the People’s party im the United States sen- ate, nor elsewhere. Nebraska Popniists ought to demand his resignation; and if he refuses they should denounce him as an incompetent fraud. Here is another argament against electing men to high office who do not know the great- est principle of the People’s party. The man who believes paper money shall be redeemable in gold or silver either is simply s metalist, and no populist. Aman who has not sense enough to now and courage enough to de- clare anywhere that the law enly makes a dol- lar is not fit to represent populiste any where. It is time to have our doctrine declared in its purity, strength and beauty.—Union. So, So! Atkeson has at last thrown off the cloak and stands out squarely on the old greenback platform. He wants neither gold nor silver money. He wants an irredeemable paper, a fiat money; and he affirms that that is true populism. There are very many true, con- scientious and intelligent populiste, who never did nor never will sub scribe to any such doctrine. Who were led to sever their connection with the old parties and join the populists under a misapprehension of facts. Surely no intelligent man believes that by it’s ‘psc dix/t a government can make mouey. If that were true why should any nation on earth be in debt. Why should any nation allow even its humblest citizen to go without money Put the presses to work. Let money be ground out, new and crisp, by the billions off our national debt, coasts, improve our streams, increase | our navy, pension every pauper, and | make all the people rol! in wealth; then continue to print until the| treasury and all the sub-treasuries | Pay fortify our | } slings at Judge DeArmond jWhen he is out of his seat at | |tending the death and burial of/nation to conceive this | are packed to overflowing. Of course this would be the first brilliant | vetoes were sustained. The effort to pass the bill over Mr. Cleveland’s veto was defeated by a vote of 149 to 40. A deficiency bill was then pre sented by chairman Cannon with the objectionable features pointed out by the President eliminated which passed the House 172 to 43 The mayor informs us that the $4,000 bonds issued by the city council about two years ago, are illegal. This discovery was made a few days ago when the council de- sired to take up the old bonds and iasue renewals. It is said the bonds were based on the revenue of the city for the year they were issued and should have been paid. The money collected to liquidate them was used for other purposes, hence rendering the bonds illegal. The council is in a quandary as to what to do in the matter. The obligation is morally valid but barred legally. There ehould be some way of ad- justing affairs and avoid a law suit.

An Ex-Conviet Wreaks His Petty Jefferson City, Mo, June 5.—Yes terday F. G. Norville, a St. Charles \ county burglar, who had served a/| two years’ sentence in the peniten- | tiary, was released from that insti- | tution. He purchased an old shot | gun at a shop in the southern part | of the city and hid during the day. At 4:30 o'clock this merning, as Prison Offieer Zera Rayburn was passing through his front yard gate | to go to the prison, Norville fired a charge of heavy shot at him from across the street and instantly fled Rayburn was struck by the charge in a number of places, ranging from the head to the abdomen. His! wounds are dangerous, particularly the one in the abdomen, but are not deemed as necessarily fatal. Sheriff Love and prisen officers pureued Norville with bloodhounds and he was run down and captured without difficulty four miles east of the city some three hours after the shooting. Norville is possessed of @ murderous disposition and he was led to commit the crime as a result of a small matter that occurred within the prison walls relating to an infraction of the rules. Officer Rayburn had charge of the dinning hall and has a most excellent repu- tation as an efficient official and a man who was generally well liked. | A letter from Mrs. Rayburn to her unele, Robt. Clark, of this city, states that her husband was wounded with bird shot and that the doctors do not think he is dangerously hurt. The would-be assassin was captured by R. J. Stark anda Mr. Burris, a short time after the shooting had taken place. Eradicate the Datsy. Mn.

The judges took a four days’ trip over the track of the storm. They gave those damaged according to what they had left, not according to what they lost. Onze of the judges said the damage was three times as much as thet done by the storm of 1891. Vandalia was far the heaviest sufferer.
