W. W. Wood, ex-Judge of the 17th circuit,of Warrensburg, is a eandidate for the office of Judge of the K C. Court of Appeals He isa native Missourian, born in Johnson county. He has voted the demo- cratic ticket since his majority, isa firm believer in the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 and is opposed to trusts and expansion. He served on the circuit bench for six years with OUR NEXT PLATFORM. In framing the platform for 1900 there will be no backward step from that of 1896. The silver question will be one of the paramount issues But since then other public ques- standing, and even if it were not,the ambiticn is both laudable and in every way desirable. Gov. Stephens was one of the earliest free silver men as well as one of the strongest aud hardest fighters for the cause He has ever been a staunch friend of William J. Beyap, who will be the presidential nominee at that conven on. When Mr Bryan was about to be sidetracked by the war depart ment of the national administration Gov.

This Republican administration was forced by Democratic representatives and cevators into a war for humanity sake. It now developes that is has been changed into a war of con- quest. Imperialism and militarism stalk abroad in our land threatening our people with a dire calamity against which the forethought of our fathers tried to saye ue. The next democratic platform will take} strong grounds against these grow- Prelps. The aforesaid Bill returned from Europe a few days since and on his attention being called to the ex Governor's remarks proceeded to get in his inning in an interview in the St. Louis Republic. This is all very funny to the democrats of the old twelfth district who remember how the two Bills used to hob-nob together and put up jobs on the other boys. As both these gentle- men are fully competent to take care of themselves in that kind of a fizht, their friends are not losing much sleep over the affair. A thrill of horror swept over this country at Dreyfus’ conviction, and yet it is estimated that nine French- men out of ten firmly believe in his guilt. His superior officers from Generals down all testified to their firm conviction of his guilt. He was represented by the ablest counsel in| France, whosaw that his legal rights were protected. Why should our people interfere in the affairs of other nations that do not in any way concern them? Is it likely that the people of this country would brook interference from any foreign nation in the rulings of our courts? The talk of American people boycotting the Paris exposition on account of the Dreyfus decision is very silly. ing evils STRONGER THAN EVER- The taik of the opposition about the weakness of a candidate before his nomination isa sure indication that they believe him strong.
