DAVID M. DALE,

The Democrats of Sedgwiok county
held their convention in this city yester-
day, the proceedings of which will be
found elsewhere and which show that
d. NJ. Dale was endorsed for delegate at
large to ST. Louis. The EAGLE is not
essaying any responsibility when it
comes to either the policy or the men of
Kansas Democracy but the man whom
Sedgwick county has put forward for an
endorsement by the state Democratic
convention which meets in this city next
Thursday, as lawyer and as repre-
sentative citizen IS above and beyond
criticism, as a Cleveland man as blue
and as solid as rockribbed Democracy
itself. The only other man talked of
was Mr.. Healey, ore of Wichita's
brightest and most energetic business
men, but Mr. Dale as public speaker is
fully equipped to take even the leader
ship of the ST. Louis delegation.

Of condemnation for being rich and the
proof that they are rich is because they
are mill owners. Now just suppose
that the free traders knock out the foun-

A SHOOTING Over esneral Harrison


INDIANAPOLIS, July 16-A serious
shooting ARRAY occurred here tonight
in which William Dunn, a married
man employed at Kinganss pork house,
was fatally wounded. Four men were
engaged in conversation, when Dunn
approached the group and made re-
mark about General Harrison. One of
the men, Frank Ernshaw, remarked
that sunday was no time to talk poll
tics. Whereupon Dunn responded that
he could whip Ernshaw or any man in
the crowd. Robert nardpenz took ex-
ception to that remark, when Dunn
struck at him, but missed, and, upon
a second attempt, Hardpenz drew a re-
volver and fired, the ball entering just
above Dunn's right eye. Dunn was
removed to a hospital, where he lies
unconscious. HardpenZ was arrested.
Both men were under the influence of
liquor. and no cause is assigned for the
shooting, except sudden anger.
