His voice is crisp and deep, and

is a clear thinker, a remarkable

sophical mind which carries his
reasoning down to the most funds-

human rights. His life has been one
Of great hardship, the common lot

Of the largest lumber vessels on
Lake Michigan. He had at the
same time an interest in a saw mill
about forty miles out of Chicago.
After leaving the lakes he sold his

cattle ranch in the southwestern
part of the state. His present farm

His wide experience tells in his
speeches. He is full of illustra-

He thinks tor himself on all sub

'84 had been the strongest that the
county had known, So far as any

cerned. He was known as capa.
BILE thinker and ready speaker.
The general feeling, when Simp.
son arrived at the convention at
Great Bend, was that he should be-
come . candidate; and in fact the
arrangement was completed. There
were eight candidates. The dis
trict was very large, covering
thirty-seven counties, more than
one third of the entire area of the
state. The candidates being almost
unknown to the neighboring coun-
ties, the convention hit upon the
novel expedient Of calling them all
forward in five-minute speeches,
that they might judge of their
"speed and durability" jerry
made a rather disappointing speech
for some reason, and his friends felt
blue.
As the voting went on, a personal
friend Of Simpson drew forward
into the leading place; but he was
very anxious for Jerry to be nomi-
mated, and announced his wish to
withdraw in bis friends favor.
Things now began to lock serious,
aud Jerry rose to say that he
couldn't run on that platform; it
was too broad; it included too
much. 81 can't g. out and apollo
gize on the stump for that platform, J"
he said.
What is the matter with it,
Jerry?" shouted an old farmer.
Jerry stated his specific objec.
ton in his characteristic way,
without bitterness and with perfect
frankness. His friends were wild
with dismay; Jerry had cooked
his goose"
"We'll fix that all right, jerry"
shouted an old farmer, and made the
motion to reconsider the objectiona-
BILE plank!

part of promising candidate, and

that put them where they are, they
will find plenty to reform upon in
any Of the committees. McKeighan
is on the committee of coinage,
Halvorsen and KEN are on the COM
mittee of expenditures Of agricul-
ture. Glover and KEN are on
Indian affairs; Davis is on the labor
committee; Watson on the militia;
Otis on private land claims; Halvor-
sen and Davis on railways, and
Baker and Watson ON the eleventh
census. All of these committees
offer opportunity for the display of
Judgment and moral worth.
The house is a smouldering vel
cano at this writing, and will break
into tempestuous debate at the
slightest provocstion. The Repub-
licans are exceedingly sensitive to
illusions to the depleted treasury
or to questions Of investigation Of
departments, and the Democrats
find in the money question cause
for division and dispute. In all
this dissension the. third-party men
are sagre for discussion. Whether
Cassie kill him or he kill Cassie,
they have a fixed purpose, which is
to push for the relief Of the people.
Senator PETER has been made
famous by reason of his occupancy
of the seat Of the distinguished
retorician of Kansas, j. j. Ingalls,
His general appearance 10 that Of a
clergyman. He wears a trinity fit
ting Prince Albert coat, broad hat
and glasses. His beard is almost a.
long as the newspapers have report
ed, is nicely combed, and bis whole
appearance neat. His habitual ex-
preston is grave and interpretive.
He is a man of wide experience in
law and newspaper work, and 10
self.possessed and dignified in his
bearing on the floor of the senate.
He was for many years the edit
orial writer on the Kansas Farmer,
which has a very wide circulation
in the state of Kansas. He has
written great deal upon the money
question, and has done great work
in promoting the political rsvOlu-
ton in Kansas. He is considered
by his Kansas colleagues to be as
tute, we'll versed in political history,
and an indefatigable worker.
He made a peculiar impression
upon me; something Hebraic-
something intense, narrow and fanat-
ical His face is inscrutable, his
manner as peculiar as his face. He
did not impress me as a small man,
nor a man who can be handled. He
seems to me to be one whose pur-
poses are infexibly carried out, and
the senate of the United States will
be sure to find him q powerful ad-

the man; his firmness Of purpose
and his winning honesty and good
nature.
The great fight was now on, and
the outlook was gloomy. Jerry
had less than 500 in the bank, and
different counties raised about as
much more to help him in his can
vass, and the whole fight was made
practically upon 5000. 1t was a
campaign of ideas, of moral convic-
tions, and campaign of the people.
Jerry left his farming and went on
the stump.
He made one hundred and ninety
speeches, speaking mot infrequent-
ly) three times in a single day. His
people stood by him heroically.
MANY Teller went down into
his pocket and gave me quarter
who didn't have hardly another to
rub agin it," he said in his peculiar
way.
His majority was seven thousand
five hundred, making a change in
his district alone of twenty-three
thousand votes. This will give
some idea Of the strength Of his
canvass, but of it's enthusiasm and
picturesqueness little can be given.
"Round-ups" running from three to
thirty thousand people were had all
over the district. They sent their
best debaters against him, expect
ing to have him "eet up; but
Jerry event after them in great
shape" He is sure to hold his
place in the house as q man of
originality and power.
He is q member Of the special
committee on irrigation. and he will
have something to say upon that
problem which has never been heard
in the American capitol. In all
matters relating to the land ques-
ton he has the earnest support Of
Tom L. Johnston, of Cleveland, and
John D. Warner, Of New York.
He is also on the standing commit
tee on territories, and will be able
to stand for reform in the matter of
the Cherokee Strip" He is daily
receiving letters from AL over the
west urging him to use his influence
to prevent the disgraceful scenes of

THE OUTFLOW OF aoLD,

Treasury officials UnusuaIiy Reticent
About the Matter.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE treasury
officials, while apparently unconcerned
over the recent gold shipments, are gen.
orally observing unusual reticence in
the matter. Acting Treasurer Whelpley
takes very philosophical view Of the
situation, and says he sees no occasion
for any excitement because the assistant
treasurer at New York, yesterday, paid
out million dollars in gold for export
in exchange for treasury notes. He says
that there 10 nothing unusual in the
transaction, beyond the fact that gold
shipments seem to have continued a
little later this year than heretofore 1t
was due, he thought, to heavy imports
of late, payment for which must be made
in gold. Gold exports, in his opinion,
are practically at an end for this season,
and the usual reaction in favor of the
United States will soon set in.
