that unless unexpected influences who'll

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 1.-THE
mayor and city council of Kansas City
barely escaped vengeance last night at
the hands Of crowd of about 800 tax
payers. The excitement rose over a
proposition of the city council ~ pur-
chase the plant Of the consolidated
electric light and power company for
$4,000. There was much public indig-
nation over the proposition, it being
believed by many that improper in
ducements had been offered to the mem
bers of council to pass the ordinance
authorizing the purchase. The indig-
nation eliminated last night when
mass meeting of tax payers was held to
protest against the proposed purchase,
The meeting was In charge of Hon..
John 3. ScroggS, the head of the Kan
sas City bar. Several incorporate
speeches were made and finally Mr..
Scroggs addressed a crowd from the
court house steps. He denounced in
bitter language the proposed action OF
the council. Finally committee of

crowd, py its own motion, joined thu
committee and the march To the city
hall was taken UP. AS the march pro.

loud and bitter and finally eliminated

The crowd had worked itself up to
high pitch of indignation when the city
hall was reached. In the mean time
the council had been informed of the
progress of the mob and hasty adj
journment was taken. The last alder
man had barely beat a rapid retreat
when the advance guard OF the mob
rushed into the chamber to be disap-
pointed at finding it empty. The crowd
resolved itself into mass meeting
again, and more speeches were made,
the mayor and council being denomin-
ated as towards and thieves. Finally
the mob dispersed without doing any

The Democratic party must close
its ranks. All its differences must
be al sted. The quarrel b,tween
Alliance Democrats and non>Al>
lance Democrats must cease. There
is no difference in the ends that they
desire TO accomplish. Why should
they quarrel over the mean.? Ii
the sub-Treasury plan is objection
able or is not the best means by
which the eId can be accomplis she'd,
let its opponents devise something
better. A measure that will give
the PEOPLE more money, abolish
national banks, break up trusts, put
silver On an equality with gold and
put money in circulation without
the intervention Of banks, will cover
the points that the sub-Treasury
plan proposes to attain. There is
no room for difference on these
things, for they are vital Democratic
