He made his first really public appearance
tonight, after seclusion for nearly
year in speech before the
State League of Republican clubs in which
he defended his late inactivity in political
affairs, and announced his future pro-
gramme. He said that some of the Repub-
licans who passed upon the ere
dentials of Republicans seem to de-
sire to believe that he was no longer

he believed that that party just now stood
in need of active recruits more than of vic

demanded free ballot and fair count.
The amendment was accepted by the COM
mittee on resolutions, and as amended they
were adopted.
Although no definite action was taken by
the club on the silver question, the senti-
ment of Kansas Republicans became
apparent when, just before adjourn

tofore been a rabid free silver man,
announced in short speech that he had
changed his views upon that subject, and
was now opposed to the free coinage of sill
