NEW YORK, May 30.-The Times
says: Judge Nelson proprietor of the
Kansas City Star, was at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel yesterday. He said
that in all likelihood there will be a
political revolution in Missouri dur
ing this years campaign. William
Warner Republican candidate for
governor, will no doubt be elected,
said Judge Nelson. The voters in
Missouri will not be satisfied until
some change has been made in the
management of the state government.

Nolan was the last straw that broke

GEN. WEAVER is CHEERFUL,
He Says that We Succeeded Far Beyond Ills

Gen. Weaver came out of the Pres.

and with cheerful spirits. and is just
as sanguine of the future success OF
the political movement he is now
identified with as he has ever been.
lie believes that EcmOcratic ascend
cncy will be s'lOrt-livcd: that the Re-
publican party will never enter an
other contest: that there is no relief
in tariff reform: that the financial
question is the great problem. and
that relief cannot come except
through free coinage of silver.
THE populists succeeded in the
late election far beyond their cXpec-
tation," said he to Des Moines cor
respondent, '.and have demonstrated
their strength as 4 political factor in
American politics. We have carried
almost as many states as the Rcpub-
lican party has carried, and have
been defeated in Il half dozen states
by very thin margins, which amounts
to a practical victory. The papulists
