Senator Hill said: Il am grateful to the
Democrats for this showing of their good

TAMMANY IN A PANIC.

They Are Greatly Exercised over Whit
ney's Refusal to Run.
SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept Tammanv's
adherents were thrown into a condition
bordering on panic today when the As
sociated Press bulletin, announcing that
Mr.. Whitney had declined the nominal
tion for governor, was read.
Senator Hill was first shown the dis
patch and said; Il supposed that he
would decline to accept it. I had said
all along that Mr.. Whitney had no desire
to enter politics"
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan looked
disappointed as he read the dispatch and
said: whitney would have been a very
strong man and the situation now is
rather mixed We have wasted valuable
time chasing a shadow"
John d. Crimmins. a personal friend of
Mr.. Whitney has received a personal
message stating that Mr.. Whitney de-
c'ined for personal reasons.
In the headquarters Of the other can
didates the news caused great rejoicing
and the several bOOms all received new
impetus.
Senator Hill declined to say that he
was for any candidate.
The partisans Of Mr. Hill were, of
course, delighted at the declaration of
Mr. Whitney that Mr. Hill was the fittest
of the candidates to make the race, and
in the lobbIes the report was started that
Bourke Cochran would stampede the con-
vention in Mr.. Hills favor.
Said Senator Canton: Senator Hill is
the logical candidate"
Mayor Gilroy said: Il see nothing but
HILL"
The Gaynor boom has picked up a lit
tie but it is conceded that there is little

Following is an abstract Of the plat
form submitted to the Democratic state
convention:
We rejoice that by the repeal Of the
Sherman law for the purchase and stOr-
age of silver bullion all fear of
a deprecated currency has been
allayed and faith has been re-
stored in the ability of the government
to maintain constant parity between its
gold and,silver coinage; that By the re-
peal of the Mckinley tariff law, the inOr-
dinate taxation of the many for the ben
eft of the few has been notably dimin-
ished and the plan of iuequitable and
monstrous customs duties which have
starved some Industries and Overfed
others, has been adjusted SO that
while affording ample safeguards for
American labor they reduce the price to
the people Of necessities of life and en-
courage the promotion of industry.
We concur with President Cleveland
that the new tariff law does not embOdy
the full issue of tariff reform, but with
him also we indorse its provisions
for cheaper and freer raw materials
and lower taxes as substan-
tia1 recognition of Democratic princi-
pies. and we bespeak for the law an i'm
partial trial, confident that its successful
operation viii convince the people of the
wisdom of Democratic policy and induce
them to demand its proper extension
We commend the efforts made by the
senators and representatives in congress
from this state to avert the imposition of
the present income tax
It heartily endorses the honest purpose
and high ideas which have characterized
the administration of President Cleve-
land and pledges their earnest support in

A Fight Between the Bryan Forces and
Other Democrats is On.
OMAHA, Sept. 26.-The Democratic
hosts of Nebraska assembled in Omaha
today but the ranks were divided and dis
sension had taken the place of harmony.
Before the state convention was called to
order this afternoon the situation was
chaotic. The free silver men were in
the majority, but the administration
forces had control Of the state central
committee, and the indications we're that
a conflict would be precipitated on the
temporary organization
The Bryan forces had selected Ed. p.
Smith of Omaha for temporary chair
man. but this was not satisfactory TO the
central committee, and meeting was
held this morning to name man who
would re present the administration.
The free silver men have also decided
to have w. d. Oldham of Kearney, for
permanent presiding officer and this was
also thorn in the side of the admins
tratiOn.
BY vote OF 30 to 3 the central COM
mittee decided to- recommend Judge
Matt Miller of David City, for temporary
chairman and allowed the convention to
choose the permanent officers.
The convention was called to order at
2:35 by Chairman Euclid Martin of the
state central committee and Ed P. Smith
was made temporary chairman after N att
Miller had been named and withdrew

groin is located the beginning of what is
known as the colon or large intestine.
1t is about as large as a mans arm and
extends upward to the ribs on the rirht
side and then crosses over to the left side
and descends to the lower portion of the
body. Springing out Of the rounded head

"Opening as it does from the lower
end of the colon. and hanging down from
it, it is quite a common accident for seeds
of apples, raisins or other, small
and indigestible substances to fall into
this long, narrow canal that has no out
let except its inlet. A peanut, a melon
seed falling into the appendix is very
liable TO cause Inflammation, which is
often fatal though sometimes not.
Where there is serious Inflammation

there is grave danger and an urgent de-
mand for a surgical operation to remove
the thing that is causing the trouble and
often to remove an accumulation
of pus in and around the appendix. In
such cases medicine is powerless to cure.
IF the operation is done promptly,
about 81 per cent OF the cases recover.
If it is delayed beyond the third or fourth
day very large number prove fatal.
Few cases recover after the sixth day,
where surgery becomes necessary"

At a Late Hour the Family Had Not Beer
Notified.

senator VI dEJlU was not INFORMED OF the
very serious condition Of his son until
late yesterday afternoon. and a few min
utes after 8 o'clock last night he left, in
company with DR.. J. @. McClintOck, for
Hutchinson.
Mr.. w. J. Black was this forenoon not
fled of the death Of Mr.. Martin and
from his information it is ex xpected that
Senator Martin Will arrive in Topeka
this evening with the remains Of his son.
Charles Martin was one of the best
known and most popular young men in
Topeka He was born here a bout thirty
three years ago and was educated in the
public schools of this city. His first busi-
ness was as a railroad emplOye
in a Santa Fe station, and after
several promotions he became a Pullman
conductor. In this latter capacity lie
travelled over most of the United States.
About six years ago he left the employ
of the Pullman company and entered the
Bank of Topeka, where he filed the po-
siti0ns of book keeper and mailing
teller until last Decamb Der, when he was
appointed receiver Of the Hutchinson
National bank.
He was an odd Fellow and stood high
in the ranks of that order.
At late hour this afternoon Senator
Martins family had not been notified Of
the death of Charles.

THE Herald paws it out to the Tri-
bune yesterday in fine style in its
ticle under the caption "Silver ard
Gold as Money" The article is wise,
temperate and unanswerabIe. Since
the Denver convention promulgated its
silver plank, the Tribune has been be-
tween the devil and the deep sea on
the silver question. That plank doesn't
represent the Tribune's sentiment at
all, at all, but SO bound and grooYed Is
the old silver roysterer by it's higher
devotion to republicanism that it must
not only swallow the dose, nauseous as
it is, but it must illustrate, commend
and endorse the heresy. 1t is per-
fectly easy to be seen that in sinking
from the silver leadership the Tribune
becomes only an insignificant integer
in the sum of republicanism,
