Campaign Issues in Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 2.-The election in
Kansas is not fraught with the general in
terest that politics in this mercurial state
usually inspires. Not only is it an off year
election, but an election at which is not
even to be chosen a single state officer
Yet it must not be understood that it is
without interest within the scate. 1t has
been one of the most holly contested loft
year" campaigns ever witnessed in Kansas
Both the leading parties are making de-
termined effort to break the strength and
stunt the growth of the Farmers alliance
or Peoples party. Particularly is this true
of the Republican party, but in some local
tiles the Democrats, as minority party,
have thought ii eXpedient to effect
FUsloNs WITH THE FARMERS PARTY.
With the exception of nine district Judges.
the campaign is purely local, being con-
fined to the election of county officers.
But both the state central committees
have been daily sending out scores
of speakers into every nook and corner of
the state The Republicans feel 1t is q
question of supreme Importance that they
should carry many of the country elections
and thus say to the east and the en- tire
nation the state of Kansas is once more
safely in the Republican ranks. The Demo
Gratis naturally are not as particularly anX-
ious as the Republicans in the consumma-
ton Of their wishes ia this respect, and
probably for this reason the Democratic
state central committee at recent meet
ing gave a quasi-endorsement to the vari-
Gus local fusions with the Peoples party.
This action of the committee, however, has
been repudiated by many leading Demo
Gratis and several Of the most prominen,
party organs. The particular interest il
this election, therefore, is IN the strength
that will be developed by the Peoples
party, the party that swept the state s
year ago and that hopes to deliver the vote
OF the state for the third party presidential
candidate in the electoral college mex
| year.

EIsins Declines the secretaryship of War.


fSpecfaIto THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch. I
New YORK Nov. "A Press special
from Washington, says: ''The P ess cor
respondent a few weeks ago stated that
Stephen B. Elkins would succeed Redfeld
Proctor as secretary of war. At that
time the matter was decided upon; Mr..
Elkins had been rendered the position, and
had accepted it it. Within the past forty
eight hours circumstances have arisen
which have resulted in the deGlinatiOn by
MIR. Elkins. 1t will bel alleged, PROBABLY,
that the President caused an intimation tC
be sent Mr.. Elkns that declination would
be acceptable, but that statement will be
untrue. For reasons which cannot be
mace public at present, MIR. Elkins has OF
his own volition, informed the Presideut
that he cannot become a member Of hi:
official family. 1t is believed that Mr.
Elkins would prefer to be United State:

Anomalous Political Conditions in Nebrask a

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 2.-The great inter-

seldom before been equalled in Nebraska.
Not because Of the high offices at stake,

in the past thirty or forty years. The
Democratic party is without candidate
allowing the state to 20 by default This
is all the more remarkable when it is re-
mem oered but one year ago their candi-
date, Boyd, was elected governor and only
deprived of the high Office on the grounds
OF decentralization. The present de-
moralization Of the Democratic party is
due to the refusal of their nominee for
supreme judge to make race, whereupon
their candidates for regents were likewise
withdrawn and the field left to the Repub
licans Independents and Prohibitionists
| The Republicans nominated A. M Post for
supreme judge, Charles Marph and H. p.
SUBWAY for regents. The Independents
nominated j. w. Edgerton for supreme
judge, a. Dalladand and E. A. Hadley for
regents. The Prohibitionists nominated
Mrs. Ada Bittenbender for supreme Judge
and Rev. w. M. Gorst and Mrs. Caroline
M. Woodward for regents. All parties
admit the contest between the Republicans
and farmers or Independent party will be
very close, the prohibition vote naturally
being light.
In no other state in the union has the
campaign been SO entirely and exclusively
! devoted to financial questions. Even the
tariff has been almost lost sight of in the
sharp fight which has been waged between
the Republicans and Independents upon the
silver question. AT their state conventions
the Republicans endorsed protection anG
THE INDEPENDENTS DENOUNCED 1T.
The Republicans endorsed the Republican

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 2.-Lacy, comptroller
of the currency, received information this
morning that the Maverick National bank
of Boston had closed its doors. He said
the examiner was in charge of the bank
and that receiver would be appointed in
few days to wind up it's affairs.
He SAID while the exact loss was not def =
initely known, it was clear the bank was
insolvent, and that as its capital, surplus
and undivided profits amounted to 81 400, =
600, it followed it exceeded that amount
He added he did not believe any other ban K
was involved in the failure. Subsequently
the comptroller was informed of the action
of the clearing house association for the
relief of the creditors of the Maverick
bank.
TIE ACTION OF THE CLEARING HOUSE
was" he said, "a prudent. wise add salu-
tary measure. 1t will undoubtedly in the end
restore confidence and afford relief to de
positors whose funds are temporarily
locked up by the banks failure. The utmost

Of a receiver who will be selected with g
view to realizing the largest amount from
the assets and a prompt division of the

NO CHECKS FROM EVANS

NO CHECKS FROM EVANS
for over eighteen months, nor had during
this time any personal account with Evans.
All Evans great speculations for the past
eighteen months, however, have been con-
Quoted in the name of this JOINT account,
and as declared by some the Maverick
banks surplus is in reality the partner in
this joint account.
Before Evans shot himself, his family
understood he was insolvent and owed the
Maverick bank 100000 with 100000 nomi-
nal collateral. and it was settlement with
the bank that his brother arranged the
day before the fatal October To-.
Irving A. Evans was to come
down that day to finish the settlement with
the bank. 1t was represented to the bank
the house was only S35, 600 under water,
for If the bank would take the collateral
and sign release to the house. Evans
father and brother would make that
$50, 600 good TO the house and liquidate with
creditors on the basis of one hundred cents
on the dollar.
THIS SETTLEMENT WAS EXECUTED
few days after Evans death and the bank
directors voted TO release Evans Il Co.
from all liability amounting to 5000, 600.
1t is probable the directors did not know
the amount of liability they were writing
off for they were assured that with this
LOST taken bank shares would still be worth
$3.50 as collateral. 1t is worth
but little more than 500. The loss
taken by the bank upon this account
is about $500, ZOO, but if the bank were
otherwise good this loss should have only
reduced the surplus by 80 per cent. Potter
says at the time OF this settlement he was
offered release for any personal liability
he might have with the house Of Evans &
Co., and he declined because he de
clared no such liability ex
listed, nor had Evans any accoun
upon which he was legally or morally re-
sponsible. Today the junior partner o.
Evans & Co. admits he never sent state
nent to Potter of the account upon which
he believes Potter is liable. Colone
Pope said last week that he had no evi
dence Potter was responsible for Evans
suicide, but believed it, and if the evidonc
was good, the joint account would be col
lected if it took the roof off some institu
ton. Potter was worth s750,000 a few
years ago.

THE THREE SALIENT ISSUES

have been temperance, the tariff and silver
The Democrats denounced the present pro-
hibitory law, favoring local option, with a
license of $500 denounced theMcKinley BILL
and declared for the free coinage of silver
The Republicans endorsed the prohibitory
law; denounced the Democrats for OBJ
structing its enforcement; commended the
tariff legislation of the last Congress; met
the silver question by merely approving
the present coinage act as an exponent out
of which may ultimately come wise ad-
justment of the financial question. Upon
these questions the battle has been fought,
the saloon question probably being the
paramount issue,
The result of to-morrow's election is
difficult to predict because of the inter-
mingling of state and national issues and
the many discordant elements that enter
into the campaign. The Repu blicans are
divided on the prohibition question; the
Democrats are divided on the silver ques-
ton, so that on the tariff question alone
have party lines been at all tenaciously
drawn. The Democrats have strlven tC
make
THE TARIFF THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE
while the Republicans, hoping to aosort
the greater part OF the Prohibition vote
| have kept the liquor question well in the
foreground. Both parties have coquetteo
with the silver question. They have tao
! lily striven to postpone this issue unit
after the national convention next year.
| Upon one conclusion all parties are
united, that there will be full vote to-
morrow. The fact that the next
LEGISLATURE WILL RE- DISTRICT THE STATE
adds greatly in interest, both parties max

they will get the support of thousands OF
Prohibitionists, and claim great majority
of the independent Republicans have gone
back TO the party. This claim is doubles!
correct as is equally so the Democratic
claim that thousands of German Repub
licans, and the liquor interests generally
will support the Democratic ticket.
A very uncertain fact is the vote TO
Westfan, the candidate of the People
party. He claims he will poll at leas
40, 900 votes. General Weaver says he viii
get 25, 600, but the Republicans aud Demo
Gratis do not concede Westfall over Is, 00C
These will probably come in about eQua
numbers from both the leading parties.

club went to Benson Saturday to play
the Benson second nine. The game
resulted in favor of the drum corps
club by a score of 8 to 5. The boys
returned home feeling good over their
victory, the more so for the reason
that the Benson boys played two men
out of their first nine, catcher and first
baseman. The same clubs will play
another game on the Hancock grounds
on the afternoon of August Is. The
boys say they were treated very cour-
