THEIR SILVER SENTIMENT.
PopuliSts of Kansas Meet in
Convention.
RATHER INTERESTING PLATFORM
DIR. Pickering to Be the Standard
Bearer of the PopuIists of
the Border State.

OMAHA. Neb., June Fifteen hun
dred delegates were present when the State
League of Republican Clubs was convened
at noon at Lincoln by State Chairman
Slaughter. A careful estimate of the per-
sonnet of the convention indicates a con-
sentative element as regards silver, and
while some stirring resolutions in favor of
that metal will be introduced they are not
expected to be adopted.
In his address President Lansing stated
that he hoped the convention would not
undertake to frame platform for the reg
ular nomination convention which is to
meet in Omaha next August He thought
the delegates to the present convention
should content themselves with renewing
their allegiance TO the principles of the Re-
publican party. and the selection of del.
egates to the National Convention of Re-
publican Clubs which is to meet in Denver
later in the month. This allusion 10 the
determination of some delegates to bring
IN the silver issue was pointed and brought
forth cheers from many of the delegates.
John III. ThurstOn of Omaha responded
and accepted the challenge thrown down
by President Lansing. He declared that
he was not afraid TO express his sentiments
on the silver question at the present time
and he desired that The convention should
have The courage to express its sentiments
now. The cheer which greeted bis speech
when he alluded TO the question proved
unmistakably that the majority of the con-
vention was with him. The convent at
noon adjourned until O'Clock in order to
permit representatives of the several Con-
gressional districs to select their delegates
to the national convention.
On motion of a. 3. Cady, afterward
amended by Benjamin Baker, a committee
of seven. one from each Congressional
district, with John NJ. Thurston as chair
man, was appointed TO receive all resolu-
tons that might be offered without debate
During the recess delegates from the diff
ferent Congressional districts assembled
in caucus to select delegates to the ma
tional convention at Denver. The selee-
ton was amended with considerable diff
Guilty. as the aspirants were numerous and
the places few.
After the recess the convention reas-
sembled and without any preliminaries
chose thirty delegates to Denver. There
was no contest over silver, the champions
of free coinage having seen the hopeless
ness Of their position. The platform
adopted contains no notice of free coinage.
B. 81. Robinson of Omaha was chosen
president. Congressman Grosvenor spoke
this evening.

books. The whole transaction, he said,
was perfectly open and was aboveboard.
Any one could have seen the whole thing
by looking over the books. There had
been absolutely no attempt at concealment
made.
The witness said Dun never looked at
the books and Wiman always transacted
all the business of the firm.
Wellman asked witness about his salary
with view to showing that Wiman had
increased it from $1,000 to $4,000. General
Tracy objected and was sustained. Wit
ness. however. stated that he was always
under the impression it was the firm which
had given him the increase of salary.
Edward Green, an expert account ant.
employed by r. G. Dun & Co., testified
that on NJ arch l. 1892. he started to make
an examination of the books of the COM
pany. Wellman wanted witness to tell the
amount of money due R. G. Dun & Co.
from Wiman and which the latter had not
charged himself WITH General Tracy
objected and the court sustained the OBJ
lection. saying the question was too gen.
eral.
Witness said that according to the books
Wiman had drawn Sl6.S57 81 between

he was only entitled to $1,000. General
Tracy objected to nearly all questions
asked by Wellman and asked that they be
stricken out on the ground that Wiman
was partner in the concern. The court
refused.
The prosecution recalled Bullinger. He
testified that be had not received money
from either check drawn to his order by
T. G. Dun & Co.
Boardman then read to the jury the
letter previously identified by Expert Ames
as that written by Wiman. 1t is dated
July /, 1891. and is addressed Dear mir.
Dun" In it Wiman confessed to feeling
somewhat chagrined at having caused Dun
any displeasure because of his oVerdraw-
lug bis accounts 100000 in TWO months.
He declared himself the victim of mis-
placed confidence. and closed by saying
that he had already realized S21, 900 on
Staten Island real estate and hoped to pay
large portion of the Indebtedness before
the expiration of the month.
