Second Controller Gilkeson the appoint
ment to the court of claims bench as Judge
Scofield's successor, which Senator Quay
asked of the President at their famous mid.
night interview. President Harrison put
him off then on the plea that no vacancy
existed. and, indeed, none would have ex-

Judge Scofeld had not died, for the judge
had promised President Harrison not to re-

and are now applicants for this place, of
whom Mr.. McComns of Maryland is the
chief. Still Mr.. Gilkeson has other power

Remarkable Story of an Organization
Within the Alliance.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 3l.-The Star
says it transpired during the recent state
meeting of the, farmers alliance at War
renton, No., that there was an organiza-
ton within the alliance which believed in
force as measure to attain the objects Of
the Alliance. 1t was the knowledge of the
existence of this force element" that
defeated the sub-treasury resolution
which was ohampioned especially by the
latter element. When those delegates who
favored the sub-treasury resolution, oon-
tinues the Star, voted against it, it was
simply to defeat the force party. The force
party had forty-eight delegates in the con-
vention.
FORCE PARTY DELEGATE TALKS.
One Of them told reporter about the or
ganization. IF the minority will not do
what the majority wills" said the gentle-
man excitedly, sit is high time for the ma
jority to hang the minority If ballots
won't do the business bullets will, and there
are lots of us pledged to it that far.n
Ex-President Hall, who asserts that his
life has been declared forfeited in under
ground meetings of these people, was
keenly alive to its existence. Before the
meeting at Pertle Springs he sent out a
letter, dated Aug, IA, to every delegate he
could trust,
TELLING HIM THE ACTS,
and exhorting them to be at the convention
ready to crush out the influence of these So
ciahsts, as he called them, in the alliance.
This letter was kept most profoundly Sc
cret, and its existence did not come to the
surface until late Saturday night, when
everybody was preparing TO leave
This secret order calls itself the "anti-

TIE STATEWIDE DISASTER.

The Coroner's Jury Finds tho Railroad
Company Guilty of Negligence.
RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 31.-The coroner's
jury In the case Of the Boston bridge rail-
road wreck near Statesville rendered its
verdict to-day, after q four days continu-
Gus investigation since the disaster occurred.
The jury finds that the wrecking Of the train
was caused by a loose rail, the bolts and
spikes OF the same having been taken out
oy some person or persons unknown to the
jury with tools or implements belonging to
the railrond company, which tools OF imple-
ments we're left by gross negligence of the
railroad company in an open shed accessi>
Die to every body.
THE CRoSsTIES UNSOUND.
The jury also find that several crossties
near where the rail was removed were I'M
sound, and that tho superssructure Of the
track was in part defective. The high rate
vi speed maintained in going over the
D1dge Is also censured. This verdict, al
trough 1t condemns the railroad, accepts the
theory that the prime cause of the wreck
was the malicious removal of the rail by
some mlscreant.

Chase EN- Out Of Cover.

There is an evident purpose on the
part of the Democrats in all the States
that hold elections this year to give
prominence to local issues of one kind
and another, and to keep National
questions out of the canvass as much
as possible. The device is a cunning
and characteristic one, and the Repub-
licans should be Oh their guard against
it. This is year Immediately proceed
ing one in which National election
is to take place, and all State elections
should properly turn upon questions of
a National character. The Republi-
cans have nothing to lose, but much to
gain, by such an arrangement. They
are not now ON the defensive as they
were last year. The lies about the Nc
Kinley bill have been exploded, and the
operations of that measure have given
strength where before there was weak
ness. 1t is the same with other legisla-
ton of the last Congress. The gen
eral course of President Harrison's ad
ministration has given it firmer hold
on public respect and confidence.
These are the things to be placed be-
fore the voters in plain, positive, and
aggressive manner. They go to show
what the Republican party has done in
the interest of good and safe govern
ment. There are no local issues in any
State that are sufficiently pressing to
| give preference over these facts. Let
the Democrats be forced to face the
questions that are really involved in
the case. 1t pleased them to make a
campaign on National issues last year
when the advantage was on their side
for time. Now let them be held to
like policy when the advantage is on
the other side. The Republicans have
the power to keep the fight within these
lines; and in doing so they can not fail
to win the victory in iowa, Ohio, and
in New York, thus assuring the cleo
tion of their candidate for President
next year.-Gtobe- Democrat.

THE ORIGINAL.

The Ottumwa Courier is a demo
cratic daily newspaper published in the
city in which the democrats held theil
convention. The Courier published
the license plank as furnished by the
committee, and now says that the loca
option feature was missing in the orig
inal, and in proof of its statement asks
the unbelieying TO come in and see the
copy. The Courier says:
"rhe democratic platform was main
ly drafted before the committe met
II was written by type writer and 4
number of copies were struck off. As
a matter of course the copies mus
have been exactly similar to the origin
Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1891-07-09

al draft. A member OF the committee
on resolutions, personal friend of the
Courier editor, agreed to give the Cour.
Ter copy of the platform as adopted
so that the delegates might have a
copy of it in the evening paper to carry
home. That copy we have in this Of
flee, and it is type written so that we
could not have mutilated it without its
being evident to any one examining 1t.
If the committee meant that the words
should be there, it was then the fault of
the type writer who copied it and no
ones else. A Sun representative with
Col. Eib9ck was given admission to
the room of the committee and took
copy himself from the original draft
read by Mr.. Stivers and it appeared
simultaneously with that printed in the
Courier and the clause was missing in
both publications"
The platform being "mainly drafted
before the committee met" as our
authority explains, and by the bosses
there was little chances for mistakes
1t goes to prove, rather, that the omis'
sion was intentional and with pur-
pose. 1t will be difficult for the gen
tlemen who verify the doctored plat
form to justify their claims. The
river counties will be flooded with cop
les of the original saloon force bill and
the prohibition counties will be asked
to believe that local option is special
ty. The democratic gun is thus load.
ed to shoot both ways.
