NOT a CANDIDATE.

A Washington evening paper prints
the following, which, if true, is inter-
esting showing that Mr.. Harrison
knows he cannot be reelected:
"a gentleman who enjoys the most
intimate relations with President Har-
rison and with whom the executive
talks concerning important matters IN
the most confidential manner, called at
the White House one day during the
past week. The conversation turned
upon the silver question and the posi-
bilty Of the passage of free coinage
bill by congress. The presidents WIS.,
itor urged upon him the benefits of
such an act and the great popularity to
be gained by signing it, as we'll as the
advantages which would accrue to the
republican party by reason of such leg
islation. The president listened to
his friend patiently and courteously
and then replied in these terms:
~ am not here for the purpose of
acting in the interest of myself or my
party, but in the interest Of the whole
country and the people. When my
term is out expect to return to Indi-
annapolis and resume the practice of
law
These declarations were made in a
tone and manner Characteristic of Pres
ident Harrison which indicated plainly
to his friend that he had thought long
and deeply on the subject. and had
made up his mind upon it. Having ar
rived at deIibeI ate determination in
this way the presidents decision is un-
altegable. 1t cannot be shaken by per-
sonai appeals, nor can he be driven
from it by partisan considerations. So
his friend came away fully convinced
that President Harrison was not and
would not be a candidate for re-nomin-
alton and reelection. but that he had
reached the final ana settled conclusion
to serve out his term, doing what
seemed best to him in all matters as
they arose, and then to return to his
quiet life as a practiscing lawyer in the
courts of Indiana

believe that the democrats of the
twenty fourth judicial district, COM
posed Of Harper and Barber counties,
have it in their power to name the next
district judge. We believe that it is
the duty of the party to nominate a
good man. 1t matters not which of
the republican candidates is nominated
by the Harper republican convention.
July 1st, his election will not be in
sured by the mere fact of the nomina
ton. The alliance unquestiOnabIy
holds the balance of power in the dis
trict; that order has no candidate, as
we understand it; it must select can
didate from either the democratic or
republican party and there is no rea-
sons for saying that it would not en-
dOrse good man though he might have
first been nominated by the democrats.
1t is no secret. we suppose, that Judge
Ellis expects the alliance endorsement,
though he will permit his name used in
the republican convention. A demo-
crat, though a party nominee, will
stand just as good a chance for endorse
ment.
We do not know that Barber county
has a candidate. No one has annouced
as such, yet, and from the Harper
county newspapers it appears that no
democrat is seeking the honor there.

IFS DEMANDS.

The conven ton of delegates from the
several congressional districts of the
state, at Topeka, on the 18th inst, to
form plans for convention of the ''PeO-
pies Party" adopted as its base of
political action, the demands of the st.
Louis convention. These form the al
lance platform and are as follows:
l. We demand the abolition of national banks
and the substitution of legal tender treasury
notes in lieu of national bank notes, issued in
sufficient volume to do the business of the
country on a cash system, regulating the
amount needed on a per capita basis as the
business interests of the country expand; and
that all money issued by the government shall
be legal tender in payment of all debts, both
public and private.
2. Wedemand the free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
3. We demand that congress shall pass such
laws as shall effectually prevent the dealing in
futures in all agricultural and mechanical pro-
auctions, preserving such stringent system
of procedure in trials shall secure prompt
conviction and imposing such penalties as shall
secure the most perfect compliance with the
law.
4. We demand the passage of laws prohibit
! ing alien ownership of land, and that congress
take early steps to devise some plan to obtain
all lands now owned by aliens and foreign syn
dicates; and that all lands now held by railroads
and other corporations in excess of such as are
actually used and needed by them, be re-
claimed by the government and held for actu-
al settlers only.
3. Believing in the doctrine of equal rights
to all and special privileges to none," we de-
mand that taxation, national or state, shall
not be used to build up one interest or class at
the expense of another. We believe that the
money of the country should be kept much
as possible in the hands of the people, and
hence we demand that all revenues national,
state or county, shall be limited to the neces-
sary expenses of the government economical
ly and honestly administered.
6. We demand that congress provide for the
issue of a sufficient amount of fractional paper
currency to facilitate exchange through the
medium of the United States mail.
Z. We demand that the means of communion
ton and transportation shall be owned by and
operated ia the interest of the people, as is the
United States postal system.
The Topeka convention also adopted
the following as part of it's working
platform:
RESOLVED, that we will not support for Of
flee any member of our organization who will
accept nomination from either of the old par
lies, but will consider such member a traitor
to our cause.
RESOLVED, that we demand the abrogation
of all laws that do not bear equally upon CAPT.
tai and labor.
RESOLVED, that we demand that all honora-
bly, discharged soldiers, their widows and or
phans be pensioned. and that all pledges made
to them by the government be complied with
as fully as in the case of the bondholder.

LEAyENwoRTH, Kansas, June ~
TIE termination of the Case OF the
State VS.. Thomas CaSS Was reached
about 5 O'Clock this afternoon. CaSs
was before the district court upon d
charge vi violation of the prohlDiLOrS
law. The case came very near having
tragic ending in the shape OF lynchIug.
The testimony upon which CaSS was
convicted was furnished by one j. Z.
Holland and p. T. Locke, two detectives
from st. Joseph, who were brought
here by Lowe and Alternately of The
police board to act as spoilers. The
speeches made by the attorneys for
the defense were bitter and added much
To the feeling of resentment exhibited
by the audience toward the two spoilers,
and the climax came when Judge CroS-
ier said, in passing sentence upon CaSs,
that all the parties who had cOnniyed
to secure his conviction were equally
guilty, and that they could be arrested
upon the testimony they had given.
The defence Immediately asked for
warrants for Hollands and Locke's
arrest, and the two latter left their
seats and started to leave the court
house. The crowd saw them disappear,
anu lH0y were 10 sooner out or the
building than Is or 20 men were in persuit
yelling. Hang them!" Throw 'em
in The rlver!" Shoot 'em!" and other
imprecatiOns.
The chase continued to the corner of
Main and Cherokee streets, when Locke
took refuge IN coal office. The street
was soon blockaded with a bowling.
surging mob; the door was forced open
and Locke was dragged out. He begged
piteously and with tears streaming
down his cheeks said:
Don't kill me. / have wife and
three children. The mob kept forcing
him toward the river, however. but at
this juncture Chris Farrell. well-known
butcher and bad man in a row, seized
Locke and bore him back toward the
building; but before he got him inside
Locke had been roughly handled and
badly cut and scratched about the head
and face. By this time the police had
arrived and driven the mob up side
street. Locke was placed in the patrol
wagon and taken to the city prison.
Lowe and Alternately, the police COM
mlssionerS. are censured on all sides
for their part in aiding the spoilers
and many threats of personal violence
have been made toward the two.

The Rev. ThoS. Dixon, Jr., of the
Twenty-third street Baptist church, of

preacher. Sunday before last he
preached a sermon on the sectional

live, it must steal the livery of heaven
to serve the devil in. The paper of

christianity. The God that presides
over that editorial chair is not my God.

A Nashville (Kans.) correspondent of
the Kingman Leader Courier, last week
related the following: "Some of our far
mers are considerably worked up over the
attempt that is being made by some OF
the loan companies TO gobble up all the
crops on lands which they have foreclos-
ed mortgages on since the farmers have
rented the farms from individual
owners. This is certainly one of the
most unjust proceedin IS ever attempt
ed by any man or set OF men. The far
mers do not object to paying the COM
pany the customary rent of the country,
and this should and would satisfy any
fair man or men. Just such attempts
as these upon the western farmer are
an outrage which needs the condemna-
ton of all and we predict that the COM
panies who insist on the enforcement
of this kind of business will meet with
the bltterest opposition, and finally be
compelled to recede from their position
in this matter, as in many cases it Is
worth all the farmer gets to farm the
land"

The Winfield Courier, the leading rep
ublican paper of Southern Kansas, out
side of Wichita, has taken up the tune
ordered by the republican leaders of this
state and referring to the meeting of the
alliance delegates and others at Topeka,
uses this language: This action
means that the alliance will now be
called upon to promote the political
interests of these leaders most of whom
have been repudiated by every other
political organization because of unfit
ness, dishonesty or pusillanimity. The
demagogues are IN the alliance saddle.
They are booted and spurred and this
worthy and promising order must bear
them INTO long-coveted and oft-denied
offices or they will ride it to death.'

June II, 1890, which convention was
composed of delegates from the Farm

hereby issue this call for a peoples
convention to be held in the city of To-

to place in nomination candidates for
state offices and to transact any and all
business that may be legitimately
brought before the convention.
The apportIonment of delegates pro-
vides for convention of 529, the larg-
est ever held in the state. TWAS based
