D. A. DeArmond is reported as follows on Bryan: “The silver question is still-of controlling inter- est in the west and with Mr. Bryan as candidate, it will certainly be one of the important issues. Mr. Bryan, in my opinion, has grown enormous- ly since 1896. Then he was almost unknown, ‘the boy orator of the Platte,’ was crude and new and some men of wealth hesitated to trust him in a post of such great power as the presidency. But now he has been before the public for four years and I believe that he has won the respect even of his bitterest foes and surely that of those who only differ with his views. Rich men arenolonger afraid to trust him. So at least it seems to me. The president will ask the coming congress to pass an act retiring Gen. Shafter with the rank of Major-Gen- eralin the regular army. He has already been retired with the rank of brigadier general. ‘The republicans have long used the argument that the vast array of far- mers of the west should be willing to pay additional taxes in order that the mill hands of theeast might have their wages increased. We hardly think the sensble farmer can see it in that light. Joseph Earle, aged 85 and his wife, over 80, living near Cumberland, Maryland, were most inhumanely treated by burglars to make them divulge the hiding place of their money. The robbers beat and burn- ed the soles of their feet until they ~gave up their monny, $500. It is thought they will die. Three years ago they were robbed and maltreated ina similar manner. Yes, one or two farmers in Bates county did get a big price for their broom corn, and we are frank to ad- mit that the republican party was responsible for it, by being responsi- ble for the trust that controls the broom corn supply, and G. B. Par- ker was fortunate in holding his crop until the trust, after buying up the bulk of the broom corn raised in the country, kindly raised the price for its own benefit. While one or two farmers were benefitted thousands have to pay the inageased price on brooms. Probably the editor ot the Republican doesn’t know it, but the broom is a very essential article in most households. If that young man lives long enough he will find that “Jones” usually pays the freight. —_— The report of tlte grand jury, com- posed of twelve fair-minded, unpreju- diced citizens of Bates county, could hardly be taken as sustaining the at- titude of the Bates County Record in its tirade against the management of the county poor farm. It was well understood that the actions of the Record was dictated by political mo- tives, but some sympathetic people, and especially some ladies were mis dled by it. The Bank of BluffCity at Bluff City, ‘Kanaas, was burglarized Saturday night. The vault door was drilled full of holes around the combination dial and the dynamite inserted. The force of the explosion wrecked the door and almost all the furniture in the bank. The amount taken was $2,202. The explosion took place about 2 o’clock atnightand aroused the inhabitants of the town, but be- fore the cause of it could be learned the robbers finished their work, mounted their horses and rodesouth. The project so diligently advocated by a few democrats for a state pri- mary, is dead. It was a very seduc- tive scheme, and for a time promised to be popular, but for all that it would not stand investigation. The more it was discussed, the more pal- pable and glaring its weaknesses and impracticabilities beeame. Without doubt, it had its inception, not in a desire to promote the welfare of the party, but in the brain of some _per- son or persons who were seeking to accomplish individualand mercenary ends. But thanks be to the best and most influential newspapers of the state it is now a thing of the past.— ElDorado Springs Sun. Republican papers all over the country are howling themselves black in the face declaring that Goebel dem- ocrats are about to steal Kentucky, while the republican governor, Brad- ley, is mustering out alldemocrats in the state militia and filling their places with republicans. This same governor surrounded the poll in Louisville with his republican militia and intimidated the voters on the day of election. Stealing the state,indeed, Governor Bradley should be impeached.

Four bombs have been seized. ‘The accused, who have been exiled to Yemen, have already been sent to their place of imprison- ment. The Mussulmans of Stamboul are greatly excited. Vigorous measures have been taken to preserve order. The rabid advocates of expansion are crying “treason” at the Women’s Christian Union which passed the f >1- lowing resolutions: ‘‘We deeply de- plore the attitude taken by our na@ion with respect to the Philippine islands _ and since governments can derive their just powers only from the con- sent of the governed, we protest against the policy which would com- pel a foreign people to submit to the rule of the United States, and against the war through which the adminis- tration is striving to force its policy.” —_—_—_—_—__-— The receipts from Col.

Six hundred and fifty dollars of thissum was ready to turn over to the state monument fund. No definite arrangements had been made with Col. Bryan as to his share of the receipts, and when asked as to his charges he declined to s cept a sin le cent. Still a portion of the public press, with venal notions, eontinue to assert that Col.

He said: “I want to say before my depart- ure for Europe that William J. Bry- an will be the standard bearer of the democratic party in the next national eampaign.

During numerous callers, many of the mem- bers, without solicitation, assuring | him of their support in his candidacy (for leadership of the democrats upon the floor of the house. Judge De | Armond discusses the situation with his usual modesty, and will make no claim as to the result of the demo- cratic caucus, which will be held next Friday or Saturday. Although Mr. DeArmond has not made an active, vigorous canvass for the honor and has not ventured to make an esti- mate of the strength of the various candidates, the Republic correspond- ent has learned that the Missourian will enter the caucus the leading can- didate. From a preliminary survey of the contest it seems probable that the comparative strength is about as follows: DeArmond from 55 to 60,’ Richard- son of Tennessee from to 45, Bankhead of Alabama 35 to 45, and Sulzer of New York, the remainder. There are 163 democratic members in the next house. Mr. DeArmond said: “The selection ought to be made with reference to the good of the party, rather than togratify the am- bition of any aspirant for the honor. In that view of the matter any mem- ber aspiring to the honor ought to be willing to abide the selection of his associates without making special efforts to promote his own fortunes, and cheerfully accept their action.” The utmost good feeling prevails among the four gentlemen promi- mently named for the post, and no doubt they will remain friends after the contest has been decided. SALINE AND’ VERNON. Put the Stamp of Disapproval on the State Primary Plan. The Democratic Central Committee of Saline county, at a meeting held in Marshall on the 25th inst., took up the state primary matter, and af- ter discussing it in all its phases, adopted the following resolutions against the primary plan of selecting candidates: “Resolved, That we favor. the re- tention of the established method of nominating the state officers by con- vention and oppose the proposed change to a state primary. Our party organization has proven effi- cient in the past and we deem the proposed change, a state primary, get an party. Sulzer are working hard. She feeling obtains.

London, Ky., Nov. —Another under which card unnecessary and unwise. “Resolved, That the chairman of this committee be instructed to send acopy of these resolutions to the chairman of the State Democratic Committee.” The following from Nevada, shows the primary method is not in favor amongst the democrats of Vernon county: . “For more than twenty years the democracy of Vernon county has been nominating candidates by pri- mary method, but of late there has been agitation for a change, so the county committee met here to-day to consider the question. The ma- jority favored the convention meth- od, because, as they said, the primary plan had propagated much fraud and corruption in the party. On a vote being taken, it was decided to name the county ticket next year by con- vention. Resolutions were adopted favoring the naming of a state ticket by the same method.” ~ The St. Joseph Gazette, the lead- ing daily democratic paper of north- west Missouri, was at first favorable to a general primary in Missouri, but now sees the utter impracticability of the plan, and in its Sunday edition editorially says: “So many of the democratic lead- ers, in all parts of Missouri have ex- pressed their opposition to the pri- mary scheme that the State Central Committee, if guided by what ap- pears to be thé wish of the majority, will declare in favor of the old-Style convention, and the primary move- ment may be considered as dead.” Big Dailies Will Support Bryan. In 1896 only two New York dailies supported Bryan—the Journal and the Daily News. Next year, sccord- ing to the well informed Verdict, he will be supported by the Herald. World Times, Evening Post. Journal, News. Brooklyn Eagle and Brooklyn Citi- zen. The only newspapers that will be strongly against him will be the Sun. Pre: Commercial-Advertiser ; and Mail and Express.

This time in Virginia. The fight was at short range and oc- curred Saturday in Buchanan county near a small post office known as Hurley. Saturday night a crowd met at Dave Axe’s place and indulged ina game of craps. Bill Tinklesy called Bud Axe, a brother of Dave's, a liar. Bud drew his gun and shot Tinklesy wounding him in the leg. Dave came to his brother's aid. All present took sides, some for the Axes and some for Tinklesy. Then began a battle with revolvers at close range. In two or three minutes all was over and the tiger was deserted, the living fled, leaving the dead behind them, who were Bud and Dave Axe, Calvin Morris and an unknown man, a stranger. Tinklesy wasslightly wounded, and has offered to surrender if wanted, claiming that he took no part and did no shooting. Who is responsible for the killing will never be known, as the fight was general and the names of those who fled are not known. The mountaineers say that ten men have been killed on Axe’s place within a few years. The unknown man was a wood- chopper from West Virginia. SUICIDE’S PATHETIC LETTER. Believes the Old Should be Anxious to Die. Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 36.—W. H. Mullendore, the leading lawyer of S-vier county, wrote the following for his son a few hours before he killed himself by drinking wood alcohol: “Little children step off this earth into the infinite, and tear our hearts out with their sweet hands and smil- ing faces that drop indifferently when you cease holding them. I don’t think we deplore the death of the old, who have had enough of living; it seems time for them to go, for where is the pleasure of staying when the feast is over and the flowers withered and the guests gone. Isn't it better to blow the lights out than sit among the broken meats and collapsed jel- lies?

Kansas City Star, The girls at Swofford Bros.’ shirt and overall factory—nearly 300 of them—made good their threat and went out on a strike this morning. They made a formal demand for an advance of wages, but could reach no agreement with the factory mannge- ment. They have been getting 4 cents a garment for making overalls and they asked for 4% cents. The girls contend that at the old rate of wages they rarely averaged more than $4 a week apiece. Some who are experts are ableto make more than that, but only by continued and persistent toil. Many of them earn less than $4 a week.
