Topeka Has Too Many Political Trim

Topeka Has Too Many Political Trim
Tomorrow's Republican county conven-
ton will elect delegation to the state
convention which, though it may not be
instructed, will probably be for d ajor
Morrill, for Governor. If Topeka did not
have so many political trimmers the
delegation would be for Hoch. A month
ago the county was easily for Hoch.
Then when few counties began to elect
Morrill, delegations, the Hoch men lost
their nerve and as soon as it became
apparent that Major Morrill, would
be the nominee, lot of fell
lows who were shouting for
Hoch five or six weeks ago, tumbled
over each other in their eagerness to get
into the Morrill, ranks. To hear them
talk now you would think they were the
first and only Morrill, men. Another lot
of fellows who didn't know which side
they were on a month ago are also shout
ing themselves hoarse for Morrill, this
week. 1t didn't make any difference to
them who was nominated-just so they
got in with the winning side. When
Major Morrill, gets into the governors
chair, we hope when he passes the good
things around that he will ignore the
Office hunting towards who did not begin
shouting for him until they tho't he was
certain to be nominated.-NorthT Topeka

cALDERHEAD NOMINATED.
The Representative of the Republicans OF
the Fifth Is Named.


JUNCTION CITY, May 1S.-As indicated
in yesterdays dispatches, W. III. Calder
head was nominated for congress by the
Republicans of the Fifth district on the
first ballot after the assem- bling of the
convention. The vote stood Calderhead
63, Bristow 80.
The resolutions adopted by the conven-
tion contained the follOwing-
"Republican protective tariff laws gave
US thirty years of prosperity and during
that time furnished our treasury with
funds to pay current expenses and make
constant reductions in the public debt.
They opened every avenue of industry to
our people and gave them remunerative
employment and sestablished the fact
that the best paid labor is the most eff
cient and more able to buy our home pro-
ducts.
'.Such laws are based upon the natural
right of self-preservation. They are
measures of defense against adverse
tariff laws of other countries and against
the industrial conditions that exist under
other forms of government that maintain
themselves by holding labor in perma-
nent dependence and support a heredi-
tary ruling class out of the profits made
from cheap labor.
sour money, which is the most concrete
form of property, consists of dollars
which have equal debt-paying and pur-
chasing power and do not shrink on
wages or products. We favor laws that
will maintain this equality and secure
the largest coinage and use of both gold
and silver money without DESTROYING
their parity and the largest possible use
OF paper currency that can be maintain
ed wioout depreciation.
MIR. Calderhead. the nominee, was born
In Perry county, Ohio, in 1874, and re-
ceived the benefits of a thorough aca-
demic course of education up to his 18th
year when. in August, 1862, he enlisted
and served as a private soldier until the
close OF the war, receiving his discharge
June y, 1865. After the war he returned
home aud spent the next two years at
tending college and trying to recover his
health, which had become badly shatter-
ed by his nearly three years service. In
1868 he came to Kansas and enpaged in
farming, but gave all his leisure moments
TO the study of law. In 1875 he gave his
entire attention to law, reading together
with Judge A j. Abbott, of Garden CITY.
and later was admitted to the bar with
him before Judge 5. r. Peters, at New
ton, Kan, on the motion of Hon j. w.
Ady. He then spent four years reading
law in Atchson, and in 1850 located at
Marysville and commenced the active
practice.
During his fourteen years residence at
Marysville he has always been an active
republican worker, taking part in every
local campaign and in the Congressional
campaigns in the Fifth district

HOW THE CYCLONE LOOKED
Which Swept KunkIe, Ohio, Last Even
ing, Causing Death.


CLEVELAND, O., May 1S.-The Leaders
special from Kunkle, o., says of the
cyclone there: The whirling cloud
seemed to go very slowly in its forward
course and gave many people who other
wise would have been killed time to get
out of its course.
The course seemed to be somewhat
zig-zag and rolled from right to left as
we'll as upward in its course. Rain came
down in torrents.
Where at o'clock stood fields of wheat
now stand ponds of water. All vegeta-
ton is cut off close to the ground Hun
dreds of people from every direction
fiocked to the scene.
The scenes around the dead and dying
are heartrending. In one house lay the
body of little Myrta Daso, while in
other half mile distant lay the other on
a cot surrounded by her grief-stricken
mother and father. Mr.. and Mrs. Cole
are being tenderly cared for in other
houses and all that medical skill and
tender care can do is being done.

MAJ. HUDSON AS CHAIRMAN
IL Seems to Have Been All Arranged for
Tomorrow's Convention.


According to the plans of the f1xers in
county politics. Major ]. K Hudson will
be chairman of the Republican county
convention tomorrow.
Major Hudson was elected a delegate
TO the county convention by his neigh
bors IN Highland Park precinct, and in
the interest of his candidacy fer state
printer he wants to be chairman of the
county convention.
The major does not care so much about
going to the state convention as a dele
gate as he delights in giving George w.
Crane black eye by presiding over the
county convention while Crane is not
even delegate in the convention.
Another part of the fixers scheme is to
send State Senator w. E. Sterne to the
state convention as delegate.
1t is true that Billy Sterne was de-
feated in his own ward caucus for a
place on the ward delegation to the
beaten one vote and his friends insist
that in the excitement of the hottest
caucus ever held in the ward Sterne was
defeated by mistake.
The plan to make Senator Sterne
chairman of the state central committee
can be very materially assisted by send
ing him as a delegate to the state con-
yentIon and unless the plan fails to work
Senator Sterne's name will be in the list
of delegates elected.
The men who have managed Major
Morrill's campaign in this county, will
insist on the delegates to the state con-
vention being instructed for Morrill,, but
the friends of Major Hudson's candidacy
for state printer are opposed to the idea
of instructing for any candidate. They
do not say anything about the printer
ship, but insist that Shawnee county,
having three candidates for state offices,
John Brown for auditor, Col. J. w. F..
Hughes for secretary of state, and Gen
eral j. G. Caldwell for congressman at
large, should not reflect on these candi-
dates by instructing for an outside can
didate, for another office.

that the other plumbers of To-

amount of $25, 700, which he wants these

To the free-born American there can
be nothing more inconceiyable than the
public professions of complete subser-
viency, not alone Of action, but even Of
sentiment and opinion, to Queen Vic
toria of a large and important molety
OF her subjects. 'In many respects"
says the London Standard, "the princi-
pal organ of the Tory party In the
United Kingdom, "the Queen has be-
come the conscience Of the nation. Con-
fining herself with the strictest pune
tillo to the exercise of those functions
which the constitution assigns her, she
nevertheless is, as 1t were, silently
interrogated by the nation as to her
views, her sentiments, her Judgments;
and when once these are grasped by
the people the statesman does not live
that could hope to run counter to
them" From this we are to gather
that large proportion of the British
people before venturlng to form any
opinion Of their own goes to the trouble
Of finding out the views Of the
universally respected lady who presides
at the court of St. James, and, having
once made itself acquainted with them,
adopts them as it's own, without dream
ing Of exercising its Independent judg-
ment In the matter. If this really be
the case, we can look forward to the
Inauguration of general fIivolity, when
the Prince of Wales comes to the

Conservative persuasion, are far from
being characterized by much sobriety,
common sense and seriousness as those
