He thinks the party will] carry St. Louis this fall. He said: “The democrats never presented a strong- er ticket to the people.” The democratic majority in Ala- bama was 55,060. It only took America 115 days to lick Spain and sink 35 of her best war vessels. Senator Jones, chairman of the national democratic committee, says silver will be the issue’in 1980. ee The war is over and we are all glad of it.

Blanco, commander of the Spanish forces in Havana, has resigned The reasons given by Gen. Blanco for resigning is that he does not want to superin- tend the evacuation of Cuba The last battle of the war between the United States and Spain was fought at Asomanta, near Aibonito, Porto Rico. One American soldier was killed and quite a number wounded. The battle was fought with artillery. Mrs. Nancy Stevenson, mother of Hon. Adlai E.

She is almost 90 years old and has been in excellent health until a few days ago Sthephen A. Douglas, the son of a famous father, has formerly left the Republican party and joined the Democratic party because it is the party of the people.” Mr. Douglas resides in Chicago. This interest ing item is respectfutly referred to Mr. Leslie Orear of Saline county, Mo Wm. J. Stone is rappidly broad- eving into the most commanding figure in national politics—on the cancies occurring on the ticket could be filled by the central com mittee, provided the candidate so named must be a middle-of-the road populist. Such a resolution was adopted for the purpose of preventing a fusion with the republicans, which was being attempted by a faction of the party. There were never avy questions raised as to the regularity of this convention. It was called by the chairman ani secretary of the central committee and its proceed ings were in order. There is no power within the populist party to reverse or change the actions of this convention, ualess every candidate nominated should withdraw aud necessitate the calling of a new con vention, when it would take prece dent, or by the action indicated in the beginning of this article revolu- tion. Last week the cantral com mittee of that party met aod by a vote of lO to 4 decided to the actions of its convention aud to favor an alliance with the republi cans in Bates couuty. This action of the populist com- mittee is the most absolute bosssm ignore ever attempted by any committee or set of men in any othar political party in this county If such actions further use for farmers leaving their crops to attend conventions. A few man constituting the central committee will tell them whit they should and must do, and nominate their ticket forthem. We predict that the self respecting populists of Bates county will hesitate before permitting them selves to be controlled and used in this manner by their committee can stand. then thes? is no Lee Wants to be a Senator Washington, D.
